Regarding if the jolt from a Tazer is considered safe, the FDA is OK with them though it is overkill for use as a First Aid response to a Venomous bite. Most Tazers today are from 200Kv to 400Kv. The ones Ron first used were 75Kv and were made by Nova.

Question about the pilot who was using a tazer. Is/was this considered safe or too much of a jolt?

Talked to an engineer Christian friend who works for Pacific Gas and Electric. They have mechanical and
electrical engineers that work there, but there work is in large electrical projects. Nothing as small as
what is needed. Also talked to a retired nuclear scientist who worked at Lawrence Livermore Lab and he
said he would think about it and let me know if he came up with anything.

In the mean time, we can prepare for answers to Greg's questions that I originally sent you. I found Aleph's email to be very concise and answer to the big picture. I am guessing that you have contacted a number of electrical or mechanical engineers to try to get them interested in a Christian missions project. Was there any estimate as to cost for such research? I will try to talk to friends at church to see if I can make contact with someone. We have a couple of men who work or have worked for the Lawrence Livermore Lab and they may be of help.

Greg originally suggested that Ron come to California to talk with him. Is that possible if the need arises?

Had a long talk with our son in law this A.M. I talked to him about the sting and bite device and he listened carefully and asked the following questions:

1. Do you have written information that he can look at and review?
2. What about the expired patent and the current status of legal issues?
3. Is there an estimate as to the amount of dollars needed to complete the project?
4. Is there a contact for the manufacture of the device?
5. Basically, can he or his staff talk to Ron and could he/you both come to California to discuss the project? What is the next step in the process and what has already to been done?
