US12422238 - Devices, systems, and methods for rendering ammunition inert in a non-invasive manner

Devices, systems, and methods for rendering ammunition inert in a non-invasive manner are provided. Ultrasonic waves are emitted by way of one or more ultrasonic emitters toward an area with the ammunition sufficient to agitate propellant of the ammunition. Positron waves are generated and emitted by way of one or more positron emitters toward the area sufficient to bond at least a majority of carbon atoms in the propellant of the ammunition.

The patent describes a method for safely rendering ammunition inert using non-invasive techniques involving ultrasonic and positron waves. These waves agitate the propellant and bond carbon atoms, effectively neutralizing the ammunition.

Claim 1

  1. A method for rendering ammunition inert in a non-invasive manner, said method comprising: emitting ultrasonic waves by way of one or more ultrasonic emitters toward an area with the ammunition sufficient to agitate propellant of the ammunition; and generating and emitting positron waves by way of one or more positron emitters toward the area sufficient to bond at least a majority of carbon atoms in the propellant of the ammunition. emitting ultrasonic waves by way of one or more ultrasonic emitters toward an area with the ammunition sufficient to agitate propellant of the ammunition; and generating and emitting positron waves by way of one or more positron emitters toward the area sufficient to bond at least a majority of carbon atoms in the propellant of the ammunition.
