It's late at night and you are walking home alone down a dark street, when you hear voices - suddenly you are under attack! Activate the Hat o' Nine Tails and they will be repelled.
This device is in all appearances, a normal top hat, but inside is a powerful spinning machine just waiting to lacerate
the extremeties of unsavoury characters. Nine strips of leather about 80cm in length are attached to a high speed rotating motor - folded up inside the hat. A cord hangs down which when pulled - the hat pops off leaving the brim and revealing the whips that are beginning to spin. Another tug on the cord and the motor is switched off - much like a lamp switch.
The action is similar to a helicopter or lawn trimmer - but on the head.

ducks will be repelled also. |

If the strips were attached to the motor at varying heights then the whipping would cover a greater angle. Other than that, I guess you'd just have to learn to angle your head correctly to repel attackers. I recommend studying the fighting style employed by RamMan from "Masters of the Universe". [+] |

Or torque reaction twists your neck off? |

I like it. Ball bearings on the end of each tail would be good too. |

Also doubles as a great way to practice fanblade opera. (shameless reference). |

I can see the police using these in crowd control situations. Bun for putting cops in top hats. (+) |
