spose next your tell me they actually made a sonic bomb and that hawkwind inspired them to do this.
well actually it was a sonic weapon rather than a bomb, and AFAIK it was only Cauty who made it, not Drummond. According to news reports, when Cauty tested the sonic weapon it spooked a field of cows and a couple of them miscarried and Cauty had to pay compensation to the farmer for the loss of the calves.
http://www.wlbt.com/Global/story.asp?S=1628848&/ Nissan demonstrated its new device designed to protect its parking lot from a hailstorm for WLBT News on Tuesday. It is a cannon that sends sonic waves up to 50,000 feet in the air to keep hailstones from forming. There are more than 400 such machines in operation in the world, and this is the ninth one installed in the United States. They are made in Canada and are used primarily to protect crops. It works by using its own radar to detect the conditions that are favorable for hail to form. seek
