Kisnesia is looking to pair up with a tank manufacturer and an aircraft manufacturer in implementing shielding on our latest energy weapons.

The original post about the energy weapons is here: http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=69279

We are currently developing energy weapons as small as a wristwatch that could take out most tanks (even with armor) and airplanes flying as high as 1.2 km. We have 3 co-sponsors for the scientific part of this project, and have spent over 1 billion USD on research.

We realize that when the second edition of our wristwatch weapons come out, they may reach nearly 5 km (with computer targeting). We personally do not want our planes shot down and tanks destroyed, and so have developed shielding to counter these weapons.

We are looking for a REPUTEABLE AND ESTABLISHED tank and/or aircraft manufacturer with which to partner in order to include this shielding on such vehicles. The business model we were considering was including this shielding as an "extra" on your vehicles, for those who want to pay the extra price. We are also willing to make a trade, shields on some of your nation's personal vehicles for delivering some of those vehicles to us.

Prices are not yet fixed.

Please post below and include a link to your shop if you are interested in partnering with us. These shields will be available by (RL Saturday, Noon Eastern US Time).

OOC: Or you could realize that in the original thread I posted, a team of researchers from 4 different nations, with a current total of 1.7 billion people, a bugdget of over 1 Billion USD, and nearly 2 weeks of RL time have been working on this project.

Only 1 billion usd?

Only 1 billion usd?

Again, if you read the other thread, you will realize that Kisnesian Police Forces have used a "stun" model of this weapon for years. However, that models only stunned its victims for around 5 seconds. Therefore, some of this tech. did exist in a "harmless" form.

Secondly, realize that we had free use of the Black Mesa research facility in Unreal Soldiers, covering significant costs. The only costs incurred here were personell costs such as pay and benefits, and costs for the materials. Utilities and lab space were provided to us for free.

Thirdly, realize that these shields are 100% ineffective against what we call "material fire", that being missiles, bullets, flying knives, pillows, etc. that are made out of matter. I could have the entire energy of the sun hooked up to my shield as my energy source, and you could still hit me wiht a BB gun. If you hit my plane with a missile, my plane goes down whether it has these shields installed or not.

The only use for these shields is for use against OUR energy-based weapons (If anyone else's energy-based weapons are used, you will achieve mixed results. We have gotten blocks as low as 2% of the energy, and as high as 80% of the energy, depending on what weapon is used. It is only effective 100% against our own weapons.

CANI HAVE A BOMB OR TANK

I think it's painfully obvious that most NS players haven't taken a basic college physics class... "energy weapons as small as a wristwatch that could take out most tanks (even with armor) and airplanes flying as high as 1.2 km." Come on. That's not just science fantasy... that's HIGH science fantasy.

And if you read my other thread, you will also realize that the tank model and aircraft model (which we are having trouble with accuracy) require an external backpack weighing around 30 lbs or more to have enough energy.

The main weapons we sell will likely be aimed at soldier-to-soldier combat, similar to a rifle or machine gun. The tank and aircraft models (if we release an aircraft model) will likely be VERY expensive and will require VERY large amounts of energy.

Perhaps we should have phrased "as small as a wristwatch" as meaning "small enough to be carried on your wrist". These things are definately NOT petite.

The physics of these armaments is similar to the idea employed by the failed "Star Wars" missile defense system, but on a much smaller scale.
