There’s not a whole lot of information to be found about this cool design, but I can tell you this: the light is made by madreinspain. There’s no pricing info, but their other lights seem reasonably priced in the €100 (about $150 USD) range.

Now if only you could wire them up so they actually controlled your TiVo or something… that would be even cooler.

Pasadena’s Eureka Aerospace has developed high-power microwave-based system that can be fired at a specific car and kill its electrical system in an instant. The prototype system can fire a targeted 50 nanosecond burst from as much as 50 feet away, completely frying the target car’s electrical systems. If the company can raise the funding to optimize the technology, they think they improve the firing distance up to as much as 600 feet away.

Imagine the fun you could have with one of these. Why not shut down that a-hole who’s been tailgating you for the last 5 miles? Or better yet, take out that annoying guy on the train who’s been yammering to his buddies on his cell phone.
