Titolo: shark shocker

Hello,
 
I am trying to find out what electrical parameters have had the most
success in repelling a shark. I know some companies have been experimenting
with voltage pulses, so if somebody has a company name or knows what these
parameters are it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hmmm, so you want to get yourself close enough to a shark to touch it,
then you want to annoy it by giving it an electric shock.
Wouldn't it be easier to walk in front of a speeding truck, and if it
managed to stop, call the driver a raving nancy.

You'll probably find that the information you want is only known by people
who have done research into it themselves (either as a company or university
etc.) As you are wanting the information for commercial purposes they would
be unlikely to give you it for free in a newsgroup. The information may even
be covered by a patent and if you wanted to use it you would have to obtain
a licence from the patent holder, for which they could charge you as much as
they see fit.
Good luck!

 they see fit.
Prof. Brannigan can correct me if necessary but I don't believe he must pay
or even ask for permission to use information covered by patent. UNLESS he
uses that information for a profit-making enterprise. Patent information is
public information. In fact, there are a couple of good internet sites on
which you can see the patent applications. IBM runs one of them. I don't seem
to have the bookmark, anymore.

uses that information for a profit-making enterprise.
The original poster stated that he worked for a company that wished to
produce a device based on the information. I thought it was fairly safe to
assume they want to make a profit on it.
But then again, 
kev...@natech.com
 is not Kevin Thomas but Kevin Holmes (at
least according to all his posts to other newsgroups) and works for a
company called Northern Airborne Technology. They must be diversifying quite
a bit, either that or someone should tell them that sharks don't fly.
Or maybe Ken Hunter

 annoyance to nature.
Sharks are not a threat to human life.
Jack Kervorkian has personally killed more people than all the sharks in all
the world in the past ten years.
It would take 4,000 years for death-by-shark in the entire world to equal the
number of auto deaths in the US in one year.
In the US, mothers kill more babies in one year than all the sharks in the
world kill in a lifetime.
Sharks killing humans is extremely rare. So rare, that it usually makes news
worldwide.

A copy of your post is being forwarded to the RSPCA. I hope they hang you
high!

You can't have everything.
I mean, where would you put it? Everywhere?
