Sharbanz....BS or the real deal?

The Kiwis are installing concrete slabs underwater at beaches, with huge magnets within the units. They are pretty convinced that the technology deters sharks from snacking on the human virus swimmers. You might want to research the Ampullae of Lorenzini. This isn't new info, obviously.

Or, listen to guys named Barry and Zippy

The ampullae of Lorenzini are special sensing organs called electroreceptors, forming a network of jelly-filled pores. They are mostly discussed as being found in cartilaginous fish (sharks, rays, and chimaeras); however, they are also reported to be found in Chondrostei such as reedfish and sturgeon.

 

hory sheeit I was not expecting that lmao ,merry Christmas all

 

Are those Great Whites?

 

Read the manufacturer's disclaimer: it says the Sharkbanz is ineffective against Whitey because of it's mode of attack is to ambush it's prey from below, making them distinctively different than almost every other shark. It goes on to say that it is impossible to overcome Whitey because of that very peculiar habit.

But they're apparently willing to stand behind the technology against Bulls, Tigers and all the nipper variations.

EDIT: Holy sh!t, just watched the vid. Apparently the technology is not 100% yet lol. Pretty sure that's a Bull, for sure it aint no Whitey.

To the OP: Dude you're better off painting "Nemo" on the bottom of your bort, pretty much the same scientific technology being applied lol.

Not much difference between those wrist magnets and that CopperFit knee brace that Brett Favre is hawking like a sideshow geek.

 

Im actually convinced that sharks and fish in general don't like their magnetic fields disrupted. I just doubt that a shark intent on striking, beyond the range of that magnet which can't be more than a foot would be deterred from striking, especially if the shark was moving at 35 miles an hour. Now if you told me that those things were tethered to a generator on the beach and emitting a magnetic field with a ten foot diameter I would believe it was worth it. Unfortunately I believe a 300 foot length of wire with a gauge large enough to supply that much current might be a hinderance to ones surfing.

 

Fair enough.

I wonder if we could get wayne or the gnome to test that 300' wire job theory out....

 

Someone should be willing to give it a go. I heard that salt water doesn't conduct electricity so it should be completely safe.

 

60% of the time, it works everytime.

 

sharks have testosterone?

 

.... when not feeding... doesn't eat as much... solid.

Hey do you comment on sports by any chance?

 

^ lmao

 

I think the solution may be for you to quit surfing all together. That way no chance of shark attacks and you can stop getting in the way all the time.

 

alternative for summer fish

Hey Hobie78!

So why not surf Bradley??

I mean - we all know that the surf is always better in BELMAR - but really, I used to live in Bradley and surfed there for many many years.... so where about do you live? I was on 4th ave... there's another guy on here that lives in Bradley- I sold him a bike once, he's cool.

Anyways- you really bought one of those things?!?
