Recent uproars over the safety of women has got everyone's attention but that has not deterred the sadist men around stop their evil act against women or for that matter even children. It is being reported all around the world. Every day. Every second. With the Indian government recently imposing a new law over rape cases, there is still a question on how to stop these acts. Well, an engineering student from Tamil Nadu seem to have come up with an answer. Something similar to a stun gun which he claims to make the attackers go numb for a while, enough for the girl under attack to get a way out or get help. Given below is the news article on it.
An engineering student here has claimed to have developed an electronic device that could help girls to protect themselves from molesters by benumbing the attacker temporarily.
Resembling a hair clip or mobile cover, the "Ladies safety shocker", designed by second year Mechanical Engineering student V R Manikandan of private Kalasilingam University, can let out an electric shock at the press of a button, benumbing the attacker temporarily.
Besides, the device, powered by a three volt battery which is rechargeable with solar power, would also raise an alarm with a beep sound that can be heard in a radius of 20 metres, Manikandan said.
Concern over incidents of attacks on women prompted him to develop the device, he said.
"If any person attempted to flirt with girls, particularly in buses or trains, this handy device will temporarily benumb the person. It is more effective than karate or pepper spray as it does less harm," he said.
It is planned to incorporate the device, which will cost around INR 150, in watch strap or wrist band, the student said adding his classmate Bharat Kiran was also involved in developing it.
