Abstract
Abstract A double-barrelled pistol for simultaneously projecting two, continuous, parallel streams of conductive fluid. The streams of fluid are held at different electric potentials so that when they impact a target in the form of live prey, such as birds, insects, and the like, an electric circuit is completed causing a current of variable intensity to pass through the prey, either killing or stunning it.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
182 words
A double-barrelled electrical weapon which projects two, continuous, parallel streams of conducting medium and which utilizes a target object to complete an electric circuit through which electrical energy flows, the weapon consisting of: a source of gas under pressure; an actuating mechanism for controlling the discharge of gas from said source; a source of conductive fluid associated with said gas in such a manner that discharge of said gas projects said conductive fluid; first and second non-conductive conduits through which said conductive fluid is projected by said gas; first and second conductive contactors associated with respective said non-conductive conduits, for making electrical contact with the fluid passing through said first and second conduits; an electrical power supply whose poles are connected to respective said first and second contactors so that the conductive fluid propelled from one of said conduits is electrically positive, and the conductive fluid propelled from the other of said conduits is electrically negative; and first and second solenoids, concentric with respective of said non-conductive conduits for reinforcing the polarity and intensity of the electrical energy in said conductive fluid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
182 words
A double-barrelled electrical weapon which projects two, continuous, parallel streams of conducting medium and which utilizes a target object to complete an electric circuit through which electrical energy flows, the weapon consisting of: a source of gas under pressure; an actuating mechanism for controlling the discharge of gas from said source; a source of conductive fluid associated with said gas in such a manner that discharge of said gas projects said conductive fluid; first and second non-conductive conduits through which said conductive fluid is projected by said gas; first and second conductive contactors associated with respective said non-conductive conduits, for making electrical contact with the fluid passing through said first and second conduits; an electrical power supply whose poles are connected to respective said first and second contactors so that the conductive fluid propelled from one of said conduits is electrically positive, and the conductive fluid propelled from the other of said conduits is electrically negative; and first and second solenoids, concentric with respective of said non-conductive conduits for reinforcing the polarity and intensity of the electrical energy in said conductive fluid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
The device of claim 1, and further comprising first and second solenoids, concentric with respective non-conductive conduits, wound and connected in such a way as to reinforce the polarity and intensity of the electrical energy.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
The device of claim 1, wherein said fluid medium comprises a base conductor and at least one element or compounds for increasing the conductivity of the fluid, and for providing increased capacity to the projector.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
The device of claim 1, wherein the streams of fluid are charged by direct current.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
32 words
The device of claim 1, wherein first and second laser rays connected to the positive and negative poles, respectively, of said electrical power supply serve to conduct electrical energy through said target.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
30 words
The device of claim 1, using a single stream of conductive medium to obtain a discharge through targets of different potential with respect to said single stream of conductive medium.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
The device of claim 1, and further comprising a vibrator for vibrating the electrical energy through said parallel streams of conductive medium.
