Wow. Amazing.

I want to be one of those people who see the wonderful scientific advances which can be made from this type of technology. Why is it that I see something like this and all I envision for the future is people watching TV eating cheetos and using a device to tractor beam the remote to them. Rolls Eyes

Don't forget you can tractor the Cheetos too! I'm sure Chester would love that.

Too bad it won't work in space. My understanding is you need air to transmit sound waves and I believe there's not a lot of air up there.

The Star Trek Tractor Beam was sonic so it should work in space. Wink
