The Burglar Blaster

The technology field is always giving us many new gadgets to make life easier and safer. But many times, even simple tools can be very useful in the home. Sadly, the average citizen has become quite used to hearing alarms, sirens, etc. - especially car alarms - so much so that few even stop to check out what is causing the alarm. Often, regular alarms may not deter a burglar from committing a crime, for they know the response time to the noise is long enough for them to dash and grab the goods. The latest in burglar technology finds what may be a sure fire way to make burglars actually leave you house before the grab.

The "Burglar Blaster" runs on regular "C" cell batteries which last about four years, so no wiring or electrical knowledge is needed to install it, and power outages will not disable it. Once triggered by an infrared beam, the unit emits a warning tone that manufacturers say is of a high enough frequency that it does not allow the intruder to trace it to the source. This warning tone will allow home owners to disarm the unit before it goes off. Once the Burglar Blaster goes off, it emits a cloud of pepper spray that will cover up to 2000 square feet, making your home a very unfriendly place to want to remain in for sure. The spray will remain in the air for about three to four hours, and should convince the intruder to indeed get out and stay out.

The pepper spray can has a shelf life of about three years, and should be changed about the same time as the batteries. Installation of the spray requires no tools, and the whole unit is housed in a high strength cast alluminum alloy case, which can be painted to match the wall color. It is activated and deactivated by either the key or a hidden manual activation switch.

Creator John Adrian has also created the "BedBunker" - an under-bed safe for guns and valuables. The safe is concealed as it replaces the traditional box springs of a bed with a safe that is virtually impossible to move or open by an intruder. Traditional gun safes are usually pretty obvious and take up a good amount of space. So, Adrian has broken tradition by improving the safe idea, and has now broken the tradition of normal house alrm systems, creating the "Burglar Blaster" to go a step beyond traditional noise alarms, by making the affected area a very undesirable place to stay for even a few moments.
