Boeing patents force field technology (!)

Chuck Bednar for redOrbit.com - @BednarChuck A new patent recently filed by Boeing suggests that the aerospace and military manufacturing giant is working on a new a energy-based force field that could protect troops, equipment and vehicles from damage caused by explosive shockwaves. In Patent #8,981,261, which was filed on March 17, Boeing describes “a method and system for attenuating a shockwave propagating through a first medium by heating a selected region of the first fluid medium rapidly to create a second, transient medium that intercepts the shockwave and attenuates its energy density before it reaches a protected asset.” “The second medium may attenuate the shockwave by one or more of reflection, refraction, dispersion, absorption and momentum transfer,” the company added. “The method and system may include a sensor for detecting a shockwave-producing event, determining a direction and distance of the shockwave relative to a defended target and calculating a firing plan, and an arc generator for creating the second medium.” [STORY: Why Super Mario runs from left to right] That arc generator could create the second medium, they concluded, by creating an electric arc that is capable of travelling along “an electrically conductive path” utilizing one or more intense laser pulses, pellets which form a conductive ion trail, sacrificial conductors, projectiles trailing electrical wires and magnetic induction. In other words...FORCE FIELDS!!!!
