Device for nonlethally incapacitating a human target
A device for nonlethally incapacitating a human target. The device can propel a net with one or more conductive loops toward a target. The device can then wirelessly electrically energize the conductive loop or loops to further incapacitate the target. In this manner a human target can be safely captured and controlled.
1. A device for nonlethally incapacitating a target comprising:
a. a base comprising a receptacle for securing a cartridge; and
b. the cartridge housing a net, wherein the net comprises:
(i) a conductive loop; and
(ii) a power source; and
wherein the base comprises a radio transmitter and the net comprises a radio receiver, and further wherein the net is propelled toward the target.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein a user causes a signal to be selectively transmitted to the net to electrically energize the conductive loop.
3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the base comprises a mechanical communication to the net.
4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the net is configured to envelop an adult human.
5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the net has multiple conductive loops.
6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the net comprises a weight at an outer edge.
7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the power source and/or the radio receiver are within the weight.
8. The device of claim 6 , wherein the net comprises a plurality of weights.
9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the power source and/or the radio receiver are within the weights.
10. The device of claim 1 , wherein the net is propelled toward the target with a pyrotechnic charge.
11. The device of claim 1 , wherein the base receives communication from a user.
12. The device of claim 1 , wherein the base transmits a signal to the net wirelessly via the radio transmitter.
13. A device for nonlethally incapacitating a target comprising:
a. a radio transmitter; and
b. a net, wherein the net comprises:
(i) a conductive loop;
(ii) a radio receiver; and
(iii) a power source; and
wherein the net is propelled toward the target and is capable of electrically energizing the conductive loop.
14. The device of claim 13 , wherein the net comprises a first conductive loop and a second conductive loop.
15. The device of claim 14 , wherein the first conductive loop is in electronic communication with a first power supply and the second conductive loop is in electronic communication with a second power supply.
16. The device of claim 15 , wherein the first conductive loop and the second conductive loop can be independently energized.
17. A device for nonlethally incapacitating a target comprising:
a. a radio transmitter;
b. a net, wherein the net comprises:
(i) a conductive loop; and
(ii) a radio receiver;
c. a power source capable of electrically energizing the conductive loop; and
d. a probe for contacting the skin of the target.
