that unit is neat but doesn’t come close to the crap that was being played with by German scientists in the 30s and 40s
there were a couple different projects
one was a sound “laser”, the other a proper vortex gun that was designed to shoot down enemy bombers with a plug of high velocity air and was actually fielded at a couple locations tho there is no records of the weapons success.

The laser used an explosion inside a resonant cavity with parabolic mirrors at either end. One mirror was static, the second on the focal end was designed to desinigrate at a chosen resonant frequency allowing a coherent sound beam to pass.
The idea was the the RF was to be the relative RF of human bone, in other word ones skeletal structure would just fall apart upon being struck with the high amplitude pulse
was tested on human subjects apparently with mixed results

The vortex cannons were huge L shaped affairs cast in concrete and buried under ground. No way to aim them or reload, sort of like an ariel claymore using high speed air
met on old Luftwaffe vet years ago that claimed he watched one tear the wings off a Lanchaster in a bombing run over his airfield but who knows for certain

much of this was tied in with the work of Victor Schauberger, a German scientist of the pre war era…he wasn’t very tight with the National Socialists, seem to recall he went to a concentration camp for a spell.

Why it is that nothing on the ground moves when the pressure wave hits the wooden building in the slo-mo shot? 😯 😕
