Ideal for immobilizing a car…
The automotive world, always on the lookout for innovation, is welcoming a new invention straight out of the United States with some glee: the Barnacle. This device appears as an ingenious solution, attractive for its simplicity and variety of applications.
Originally developed as a car immobilizer, designed to facilitate the work of law enforcement agencies, Barnacle stands out as an innovative alternative to traditional clogs. The main mode of operation allows the police to quickly deploy it on the front windshield of the offending car. With the help of two suction cups, this device firmly adheres to the window, completely closing the driver’s view and rendering the vehicle temporarily unusable.
Its lightness and ease of transport make it a practical substitute for conventional methods. After installation, the driver is forced to pay a fine to get the precious secret code allowing the suction cups to be freed and the whisker-like cancer to be removed. After removal, the driver must leave the device in one of the collection points designated for this purpose, in the form of containers with a special opening.
…and keep thieves away
In addition to the main use, The Barnacle also draws attention as a device theft protection. Drivers can leave it in place when parking on the street, knowing that it can only be removed with the appropriate password.
Barnacle’s strength lies in its simplicity and robust mechanism. Securely attached to the windshield, it becomes almost impossible to move, and its suction cups are cleverly protected by a strong plastic coating. Under the popular name “Barnacle”, this device is already available in various markets, thus opening the way to new perspectives both in the police field and in the prevention of theft.
The invention, which is worth watching closely, has a “revolutionary” potential that the automotive sector can celebrate.
