Abstract:
1. A portable device for ejecting continuous streams of electrically charged fluid at a target, the portable device comprising: an electrically non-conductive housing having a first barrel having a first metallic nozzle defining a first fluid ejection orifice; a first tubular reservoir for a first electrically conductive fluid; a first intake conduit for pressurized gas into the first barrel; and a first piston element located between the first reservoir and the first intake conduit, the piston element being configured to be pushed along the interior of the first barrel by a differential gas pressure; and a second barrel having a second metallic nozzle defining a second fluid ejection orifice; a second reservoir for a second electrically conductive fluid; a second intake conduit for pressurized gas into the second barrel; and a second piston element located between the second reservoir and the second intake conduit, the second piston element being configured to be pushed along the interior of the second barrel by the differential gas pressure; a compressed gas enclosure; a liquefied gas cartridge disposed within the compressed gas enclosure; means for rupturing the liquefied gas cartridge so as to cause high pressure gas to be released therefrom into the compressed gas enclosure and through the first and second conduits against the first and second piston elements; and a high voltage power source having an electrical circuit, a battery power supply and a voltage converter, the voltage converter being in electrically conducting relation with the first and second metallic nozzles so as to impart a first high voltage electrical charge at a first potential to the first fluid exiting the first fluid ejection orifice and a second high voltage electrical charge at a second potential to the second fluid exiting the second ejection orifice.
