Unfortunately the No-Contact Jacket is still only a prototype. If you want to see it in action, download the demos at www.no-contact.com (Smells a little Matrixy to me.)
You’re walking down the street and suddenly someone grabs you from behind. Before you know it, your jacket unleashes 80,000 volts onto your attacker. (Who is now shaking like a whippet on the ground.) Welcome to the not too distant future, according to the clearly paranoid folk behind the No-Contact Jacket. According to their website, this little baby has a ‘unique insulated rubber layer between the wearer and the electrified outer layer’. Which basically means that they get fried, not you.
That’ll teach your friends for sneaking up behind you at lunch.
