Researchers have developed technology that can project a beam of sound so

narrow that only one person can hear it. "Directed" audio

sounds like it's coming from right in front of you even when transmitted

from a few hundred meters away. Inventors of the new

"ventriloquist" technology say it could provide an added

dimension to entertainment. The military, however, is investigating using

it to confuse opponents or even inflict pain. The

Audio Spotlight is one of two competing audio transmission systems that

emit a one-foot square column of sound that can only be heard by people

in its direct path. Joseph Pompei, a PhD student at the MIT Media Lab,

decided to develop it while working at audio company Bose, which he

joined at 16 as its youngest-ever engineer. Pompei,

who used to play jazz trumpet in nightclubs in Chicago, became interested

in how sound systems reproduce and distribute music. He thought it would

be cool to "choreograph sound just like you would dancers on

stage." Pompei imagined that instead of

loudspeakers blaring the same cacophony of instruments to all parts of

the room, it would be more interesting to selectively spotlight the

soloist to the left side of the audience, while featuring the percussion

up front, and then switching them around. "Sound

in real life is occurring all around you. Regular speakers only go so far

in reproducing an accurate environment," Pompei said.

Pompei developed the first demonstration systems of the

technology for installations at Sega's Joyopolis theme park in Tokyo and

the Boston Museum of Science, and he's planning to start selling it

commercially soon. He said museums like the system because visitors who

stand in front of an exhibit can hear the appropriate audio track without

being distracted by sound from other displays. The

Audio Spotlight transmitters range from several inches in diameter to

about 20 inches and generate a column of sound between one to three

degrees wider than the transmitter. The technology

could also be used to prevent fights over the car's radio tuner, Pompei

said. He put several Audio Spotlights in a concept truck from Chrysler,

which enabled passengers to hear their own radio stations -- the kids in

the back seat enjoyed heavy metal while the parents relaxed to elevator

music. "It could make for much happier trips," he said.

The Audio Spotlight converts ordinary audio into

high-frequency ultrasonic signals that are outside the range of normal

hearing. As these sound waves push out from the source, they interact

with air pressure to create audible sounds. Pompei

said the "non-linear" effect of air pressure modifies sound

waves in a consistent fashion. He wrote algorithms that

"reverse-engineered" the desired sound waves to determine the

appropriate ultrasonic source signals. According to

University of Texas professor David Blackstock, high-frequency signals

are easier to focus, and control like a flashlight, than sounds that are

within the human range of hearing, which disperse in all directions.

Blackstock said ultrasonic signals "decay more slowly than

lower-frequency waves" so they are easier to send farther.

The Audio Spotlight emits sounds in the 60-kilohertz range,

which, according to Blackstock, is well above the 20-KHz limit of human

hearing. Blackstock said the first experiments to use

ultrasonic sounds were conducted underwater in the 1960s, and Japanese

researchers made advances in the 1980s but were unable to create a

commercial application for the technology. Pompei

said Audio Spotlights are currently being installed in Australia for the

upcoming Fringe Festival. Pompei started Holosonic Research Labs to sell

Audio Spotlights to corporations such as Kraft and Kodak, which are in

the process of integrating them into information kiosks and retail

displays. An alternative to Pompei's invention, which

also may be commercially available soon, is American Technology's

Hypersonic Sound System. The HSS system similarly converts audio into

ultrasonic sound waves, and Blackstock was impressed by a

demonstration. Blackstock said he heard a clear

signal at about 100 meters, but then heard nothing by moving two steps

out of the audio's path. "It's remarkable, a spectacular

effect." American Technology president Terry

Conrad said the company is going into its first mass production of chips

that convert the audible sounds into ultrasonic waves in February.

American Technology recently signed an agreement with the

U.S. Army to develop the technology for a decidedly non-commercial use:

psychological warfare. According to American

Technology CTO Jim Croft, the technology could be used to confuse

opponents by making them think there was someone nearby. Small

transmitters could be kept out of sight, and ghost sounds could be

bounced off "rocks or any reflective surface" to fool people

into believing they were not alone. American

Technology is also working on a stronger version of the technology called

Directed Stick Radiator, Croft said. This "acoustic assault

rifle" is shaped like a gun, but instead of bullets, it dispenses

high-decibel sounds that would cause discomfort or even pain.

Croft said the company is developing prototypes of the

debilitating weapon that could be mounted on a jeep and used for crowd

control. "It could be a very effective first-level deterrent,"

he said. Pompei, conversely, is happy to make music,

not war, with his system. He said U2's Bono is a fan of the Audio

Spotlight and recently flew him to Los Angeles to measure the acoustics

during a Staples Center performance. He would prefer

that others adopt his invention to returning to the stage himself.

"I make a much better scientist than musician."

Comment From Eleanor White

2-21-2 Hi - I've only scanned this article once, but I know it is highly

significant to us mind control victims. What this is saying is, here is a type

of field, called a "torsion field" in this reference, that is generated as a

normal consequence of either mechanical motion or electromagnetic fields, which

UNDER SPECIFIC CONDITIONS can have powerful effects on biological entities (us).

This statement by Mojimir: "(the generators using geometrical shapes were

described as well in the excerpt of Gurtovoi's book I was mailing to the list

few months ago)" ...and this new article translation point directly to so

called "psychotronic shapes", or, simple, inert objects of specific shapes

which were described in the book "Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain"

by Lynn Schroeder and Sheila Ostrander. These devices were demonstrated to the

authors on their visit to the then Soviet Union, and are the invention of Czech

industrialist and inventor, Robert Pavlita, and date from the 1930s. In

addition, these torsion fields, their effects seemingly dependent on SHAPE,

point to "pyramid power", and "sacred geometry", two concepts which are often

dismissed as nonsense. We know that we are not likely to be able to sit down

and build a demonstrator device from this article, but it may give some clues

to our 'power researchers' and that is why I'm sending it out. MANY THANKS to

Mojimir! Eleanor (Mojimir's translation follows) From Mojmir Babacek

<mbabacek (AT) iol (DOT) cz torsion fields 2-21-2 What follows are excerpts

from the booklet by A. E. Akimov, the director of the Russian institute VENT,

which was assigned in the 80s the job of building the psychotronic generators

by Soviet authorities. A.E.Akimov: "Heuristic Evaluation of the Problem of the

Search of New Long Distance Effects. EGS Concept" Interdisciplinary Scientific

and Technical Centre of Non Traditional Technologies Moscow, 1991 "In 1966 K.N.

Perebeinos et. al. demonstrated an experimental system of transfer of

information through massive screens, where the transmitter as well as receiver

were produced on the principle of mechanically rotating systems (K.N.

Perebeinos et. al, "Evaluation of the Possibility of the Use of Gravitation

Waves for the Communication", 1966) "torsion fields come into being not only by

spin, but as well by the rotation of objects. For as long as the rotation,

including the classical spin, is stationary (the angle frequency is not

changing, the rotating mass is equally divided, there is no wobling, mutation

etc.), the source is emitting a stationary torsion field. If the rotation is

not stationary then the source emits wave radiation.the torsion field will

affect the objects with spin or angle momentum of rotation." There are 4 types

of torsion fields generators. 1) "As well as with electricity is the primary

source of the field the electric charge of particles, the primary source of

torsion field is a spin of elemetary particles - as well as quantums.The

torsion field will belong to the body which will have whichever spin

arrangement - nuclear, atom, molecule... a magnet arranges the space

orientation of molecular flows, which give off the primary magnetic field. This

arrangement has for consequence the appearance of collective magnetic field. The

arrangement of the orientation of magnetic momentums automatically, as well,

arranges the classical spins originating from the movement of electrons in

circular molecular flows. As a consequence a collectif torsion field takes

birth. Consequently every steady magnet has aside of magnetic field as well a

torsion field." 2) "electromagnetic field gives off torsion field - most of

electrical, radiotechnical and radioelectronical devices are sources of torsion

radiations and can be used as torsion fields generators... Highly effective are

radiotechnical gears where circular or spiral electromagnetic proceses take

place - coil or magnetron. .. Many radiotechnical or radioelectronical devices

can be used as torsion fields generators. However it is necessary to

distinguish clearly what are those sources generating: static or wave

radiation, what is the space structure of those fileds or radiations, what is

the spectrum of frequencies (wavelike and spacial)" built generators - with

voluminous resonators and various crystals with voluminous condensators and

special fillers (probably the wrong word) with the use of 3 Helmholtz coils 3)

generators built on principle of specially organized spin ensemble or specially

organized rotation of material medium (field or body) - for example a rotating

magnetic field 4) geometrical torsion fields generators (the reason why they

function is not yet understood) In the French patent from 1978 "the creation of

torsion field is achieved due to the combination of topological effect and

electrical polarization. Into 16 angle straight prisma are built 2 couples of

ortogonally distributed electrodes with the voltage up to 300 kV. On parts of

sides conuses or ovoids may be distributed. Steady electrical voltage gives

birth to primary torsion field which excites intensive torsion field due to the

effect of forms - according to the authors the generator was capable to diminish

the gravitation field" (the generators using geometrical shapes were described

as well in the excerpt of Gurtovoi's book I was mailing to the list few months

ago) "As a real source of torsion fields may be used for example crystals with

polarized nuclear spins...Active torsion generators are used where the

rotational momentum is created with the use of the external source of energy."

(I am sorry, but the copy of the book I have received on microfilm is almost

illegible) "Experiments prove that the activity of spin and spiral generators

produces the same effects.The construction of torsion generators and their

production as industrial samples made possible realization of vast research

opening the road to their use as new sources of energy, transportation,

production of materials with new qualities, transmission of information,

biotechnology, medicine, agriculture etc. - the material base for the new

civilization of 21st century.Interpretation of torsion fields as metastable

states of spin polarized physical vacuum makes i t possible to formulate

principally new approach to the construction of quantum (torsion) generators -

ZVM." Biological Effects of Torsion Paradigma "J. U. Little showed the analogy

between neural networks and magnet systems. John Hopfield showed that such

networks with symetrical connections are equivalent to spin glasses (J.J.

Hopfield: Neural networks and physical systems with emergent collective

computational abilities. Proc. Mat. Acod. Sci. USA 1982, v. 79, No. 8, p. 2554,

Amit D.J., Gutfreund N., Sompolinsky N. Spin-glass models of neural networks,

Physical Review A., 1985, v.32, No. 2, p. 1007 - could anynone find this

article?) This opened the road for the construction of models of brain

mechanisms. Important proved to be the analogy between the fact that every

neuron is connected with many other neurons and the long distance effects in

spin glasses, where every spin is immediately connected with many other spins.

Those ideas open the road to the construction of the new approach, since there

is a possibility to resign on the understanding of a spin as a magnetic moment,

which makes it possible to understand the spin glass as an ensemble of objects

with classical spins. In a such a case that the spin-glass is conceived as a

system in which arbitrary spin configurations are possible which create a

torsion field. At the same time the external torsion fields may form space spin

structures in the spin glass... ... to every act of consciousness corresponds

its spin structure in the brain, which has for consequence a characteristic

torsion radiation. At the same time, during every characteristical torsion

radiation in the brain, a proper spin structure will be formed, corresponding

to the particular perception in the brain... ...the concept of torsion fields

makes it possible to formulate effective approaches to the foundation of this

phenomenology on strictly physical basis and planing of experiments... a

possibility appeared to attach to the consciousness and thinking their material

bearer defined as torsion fields." The work of the operator of the torsion ZVM

generator - the consciousness of the operator, having a spin nature manifesting

itself by torsion fields. The work of the generator is based as well on spinory

systems of physical vacuum and manifesting itself by torsion fields. This

provides for the possibility of direct acces of the operator to the processor

without a translating periphery. "The operator can, on basis of arbitrarily

chosen protocole, enter into such ZVM without any mediating apparatus, by way

of direct interaction directly with the central processor through the channel

of torsion exchange of information. With this approach the Consciousness as a

specific, torsion adaptable ZVM and ZVM produced on basis of physical vacuum

will function as a one single ensemble and not as two modules of one system. If

we look upon the consciousness as on a biocomputer, realized on organic spin

glass, we are obliged to state that this biocomputer was produced on molecular

element base. The information on molecular level is encoded not only in the

structure of molecules, but as well in the structure of the medium which

surrounds it and this information is connected with spin polarization of

physical vacuum, it means with torsion fields. We can assume that the

consciousness as a functional structure includes in itself a biocomputer, it

means a brain as a spin glass and its outside part - the torsion ZVM

surrounding the spin polarized physical vacuum in the space around the brain."

In another article A.E. Akimov announces several succesfull experiments with

torsion fields generators - the melted iron was irradiated by torsion fields

during the cooling and did not form the crystalic lattice - the reception of

torsion fields across the screen corresponding to 50 m block of concrete was

not attenuated. When the transmitter was brought next to the receiver the

intensity of the reception was the same as when the signal was passing through

the screen. Mojmir Babacek
