Tech Discussion Wave Bubble

[velvetfog]

The Wave Bubble was designed by a young American female electrical engineer named Limor Fried while she was a student at MIT.
It is the only electronic device that I have ever come across that no one is allowed to buy, sell or operate.
It is a completely illegal electronic circuit.
The design is brilliant.
It is a programmable auto tuning multi frequency near field RF jammer running on a lithium battery.
It is designed to fit inside an empty cigarette pack.
Pushing the button turning it on will silence all cell phones nearby.

She describes her R&D process developing the device here:

Here is Limor Fried promoting the device:

Her thesis submission for her M.Sc degree at MIT, which outlines her reasoning behind designing the Wave Bubble device, is available here.
It is well illustrated and a very interesting read.
