What does a "infrasonic wave pulse generator" do?
Discussion
What does a "liquid cooled infrasonic wave pulse gnerator" (as fitted to the front of this R8) do?
A google search reveals lots of speculation, everything from a radar jammer/electronic counter measure to a deer deterrent or night vision device.
Anyone know what it actually does or is the name just a red herring to hide its real purpose?

I think the idea is that it pulses out infrasound which encourages the driver in front to get out of the way - infrasound can generate feelings of unease/unpleasantness;

It wouldn't work as a radar jammer/distorter. I'm not convinced it'd work to do anything at all really...

That seems plausible, as in the video the guy says you dont want to stand in front of ithttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrasound

I'm not convinced a feeling of unease/unpleasantness would cause anyone to move over. You only need to watch the police camera programmes to see how many MLM simply don't use their rear view mirror. Would making them feel uneasy change that?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrasound

Perhaps its to use against the competition?!

Wasn't he going to try and beat Alex Roy's coast to coast 'record'? Presumably he didn't.
From what I know it was on the Top Secret R8 which has a lot of toys like that on it. Iirc, it distorts speed traps so as they can't get a reading on the car from the front. It also double's up as a microwave to heat up the Rustlers on a coast to coast.
