Maybe eventually they can upscale it and we'll have an easy way to transport people who have been frozen in carbonite.

I suspect you'd really feel the vibrations on your skin and in your chest, when the power is scaled up to carry tens of kilograms instead. Also note the interference amongst the grains lying on the base, caused by harmonics. And all the trembling. Needs more magic!

I only suggested it be used on people who were frozen in carbonite.
Seriously though, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near something like this. I have hypersensitivity to sound. I can hear a cottonball drop on carpet in another room with the door closed. I can feel the infrasound of a train 5km away... even when I'm in the shower. I want to kill every young punk playing deep bass within a 3km radius.

But that's the oldest trick in the book!

I wish I could do that myself. It looks comfortable. I'd just lie like that, float out the door and down the street.

And you type on IBM? Trust me, a Kishsaver is not for you…
(Actually, I'm pretty unusual for sound too. Can still hear bats, graphics card noises, screen inverters, etc. etc. etc. and similarly shoot mind bullets at them damn punks with their ghetto music. Listen to jungle music instead, cretins!)

I'm thinking of developing an acoustic pulse weapon - where it takes the punks' deep bass as input, amplifies it, focuses it, and blasts it back to the source. If they were playing music loud enough to cause my pulse weapon to explode their skulls, then that's just not my fault. They did it to themselves.

And once again, sound blows my mind!
