Tasers and Non-lethal Stun Weapons (emdt)
Electro-Muscular Disruption (EMD) Technology
Tasers Versus Stun Guns: Most people use the terms "Taser" and "Stun Gun" interchangeably. The difference between the two is more than the fact that one (Taser) shoots electrical probes, and the other (Stun Gun) works on contact. The technology employed by each is different and a Taser is not just a Stun Gun on a String as it is sometimes described. First, let me briefly rehash the physical differences. A Stun Gun is a contact weapon in which the electrical probes must be physically touched to your attacker's body. It works on a relatively simple principle by which some method is employed to take a very low input voltage (such as a basic 9-volt battery), and dramatically multiply it to produce a tremendous output voltage (while keeping the amperage output well below lethal levels). You can read about the different methods for doing this on my web site (http://www.snjselfdefense.com/stunmaster.htm), Wikipedia, or a number of other self defense sites on the Internet. The Taser on the other hand, is a stand-off weapon that shoots electrical probes which need to attach to the assailants clothing or skin. Tasers employ what is known as Electro-Muscular Disruption Technology (EMDT) in addition to a voltage step-up method. It is the EMDT that gives a Taser such incredible takedown power with only a (relatively) small voltage output. Simply stated, a Taser shoots, a Stun Gun does not, although nearly all Tasers have a contact Stun Gun built into them in case of a miss, a misfire, or the attacker is already too close to fire in the stand-off mode.
Stun Guns themselves are incredibly effective both as deterrents and in actual use. It has been my experience that normal people are just as terrified of the 80,000 volt Talon Mini as they are of the 975,000 volt Lithium Hot Shot. Just activating the stun gun for a .1 second demonstration scares the pants off of most anybody. The problem is that "normal people" aren't the ones out there raping, mugging, and purse snatching; hence the extreme voltage required to ensure stopping some monstrous, muscle bound nut case jacked up on Crystal Meth or PCP. Tony Montana soaking up round after round of small arms fire while "introducing his little friend" is a bit of a stretch but not that much of one, for a cocaine saturated madman. A stun gun's effectiveness increases with the amount of time it remains in contact with the attacker. So much electrical energy is dumped into an attacker's body, that neuromuscular connections are overwhelmed. This causes the muscles to do a phenomenal amount of work almost instantaneously, resulting in a rapid build up of lactic acid rendering the assailant incapable of controlling voluntary muscle movement. The best analogy I can think of (that I am familiar with) is how we use jamming to confuse and degrade the enemy's radar and communications in aerial combat.
Communications jamming: The purpose of both types of non-lethal stun weapons is to "jam" the electrical communications between the brain and muscles. If we look at it in terms of the military application of communications jamming, the analogy fits quite well. Noise jamming or area jamming is conducted when attempting to deny an entire spectrum such as say, VHF frequencies. A high powered signal is sent out covering the entire frequency spectrum with undecipherable noise. It is quite effective and all you hear on the radio is annoying static. The way to overcome noise jamming is to "out power" it, or in practical terms: A very powerful, highly focused single frequency signal can break through the noise. A Stun Gun operates on a similar principal. A huge amount of energy (voltage) in the 14-17 Watt range, blocks out and confuses the body's electrical signals from the brain to the muscles, and overwhelms them. Several factors such as pain tolerance, mental focus, body salinity, musculature and others, determine the amount of power required to totally overwhelm the neuromuscular system. That is why you hear "strange but true" stories of whacked out, drug crazed, maniacally focused individuals fighting through the stun gun's effects for longer than seems humanly possible. No one can fight it off for long, but it is difficult to maintain continuous probe contact with a wildly flailing attacker.
Pinpoint jamming: One way to dramatically increase jamming effectiveness is to pinpoint a specific frequency or very narrow band of frequencies. Less power out is required and some very interesting things can be done such as mimicking or manipulating a specific frequency to your own purposes. This is the the desired end result of Electro-Muscular Disruption Technology, and the reason a Taser is so effective with a voltage output of only 50,000 volts. There are several methods for manipulating and refining the targeted neuromuscular communication frequency band. In general, varying the voltage waveform or the Joule energy output are the most commonly employed. As far as I can tell, Stinger and Taser International are on the cutting edge of these new developments. There is a great test comparison video that you can find on the Internet buy searching for "Stinger Versus Taser Video" on any major search engine. The test was conducted by an independent outfit called CRT, and (just for full disclosure) funded by Taser International. You can judge the results for yourself (I am by nature skeptical of everything), but the one thing that is unmistakable, is the immediate effectiveness of the Taser. The electrical "jamming" output through the M-18 Taser (that I offer) leads, is in the specific 18-26 Watt range. It essentially overrides the neuromuscular connection and commands the muscles to full contraction. The subjects of the aforementioned experiment, repeatedly refer to the sensation as being immediately, and completely "locked up", the truth of which is clearly evidenced in the video. There is no time requirement for the Taser to "build up" effectiveness. The debilitating effects are immediate and last as long as electricity is being applied.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both Stun Guns and Tasers, the primary of which is cost. You can purchase a basic 80-100,000 volt stun gun for around 20 to 25 dollars with the most powerful lithium battery models running upwards of 75 to 80 dollars each. Tasers on the other hand, are in the hundreds of dollars range. You are going to have to pay for that cutting edge technology! Two other obvious advantages of the Taser are stand-off capability and instantaneous disabling force. Police forces use the Taser to subdue violent subjects immediately, while a cheaper Stun Gun is great for stunning the crap out of an assailant and getting out of the target area safely.
I hope that explanation makes sense. I welcome comments and suggestions from those with extensive expertise in this area.

The Lifestyle Implications of Excessive Head Sweating
Excessive head sweating is cause for great anguish and despair for a lot of people. They go overboard trying to conceal this sweaty little secret from friends, family and colleagues alike. Even though it is of no consequence at all and can hardly be called a treatment, people feel a great deal better if this condition remains hidden from others.
Excessive head sweating, known as facial hyperhidrosis in other words is a huge problem if you happen to be afflicted with this condition. One needs to understand that it raises a number of problems as well as being very noticeable to a slightly discerning individual.
Trying to prevent people from noticing the stream of sweat running down your face is not feasible. Especially a head which is swimming in sweat is particularly difficult to conceal from the public eye. The odour cannot be masked and it would be futile to attempt to hide any of the above.
This condition of facial hyperhidrosis or head sweating needs instant, effectual and long lasting treatment, preferably lasting forever. One does feel like the butt of all jokes and also becomes an object of ridicule for other people. To find an effectual and enduring solution to this problem, one must attack the ground source of the problem. Therefore it must not be a superficial attempt at solving the problem, which is just blocking head sweating. An underlying cause must be rooted out and the same has to be treated for a permanent end to the problem. By treating the symptoms, it will stop on its own.
Head sweating more often than not, results in physiological as well as psychological problems. A treatment plan that only targets the sweating and not the flagging self esteem is incomplete. You should be able to mitigate the sweating in addition to the certainty of not having to face it again. It should disappear with the reappearance of your confidence. However, this involves making an effort from your side as merely the desire to make it go away will not do.
Unfortunately, it hits the fairer sex harder than men as the former are usually accustomed to applying makeup. And it makes it virtually impossible thus resulting in loss of confidence and often they become victims of an inferiority complex. This is so because their sure fire method of looking beautiful is snatched away from them.
What really leads to excessive sweating? This question is not easy to answer as there is no simple explanation for it. A large number of reasons may be the cause of this condition. For examples hormonal disorders, hereditary problems, genetic influence and immediate topical factor can lead to head sweating. Thyroid is another cause for sweating. In case anyone in your immediate family or aunts, uncles or grandparents has this condition, you may be susceptible as well. Adolescence, excitement, stress, anxiety are other key aspects that may result in this problem.
The usual, run of the mill solutions for head sweating are hardly capable for putting an end to the problem as regards the bodily aspect let alone properly treating the psychological consequences. Treatments involving ointments, lotions, medical creams, antiperspirant sprays, Medications, drugs and surgery are not holistic.
Furthermore, complications arising from head sweating are heightened with misinformation and incomprehension of the condition. People who are obese are said to be more prone to excessive head sweating, although healthy and thin people may also suffer from it.
