Comstrac - Alpha 6 Molecular Detector.

The ALPHA 6 is a revolutionary product for search and detection of specific contraband substances. The ALPHA 6 is available in two variants, explosive detector and narcotic detector.

The ALPHA 6 Detection System is a totally unique method of locating contra- band in any conditions and from a range of up to 300m. The ALPHA 6 works on "Molecular Resonance" and the ALPHA 6 system uses molecular recognition of programmed contrabands.

The ALPHA 6 is completely passive and has no ill ef- fects on the operators. Nothing can block the molecular tracking of the AL- PHA 6 and therefore the ALPHA 6 will find contra-band when dogs are fooled by surrounding odors. ALPHA 6 will work from greater range and in condi-tions where vapor detectors will not.

The ALPHA 6 never gets tired, never needs to rest and never has a bad day. By using the ALPHA 6 as an early indicator for the presence of contraband substances, time and money can be saved. Used alongside search dogs and personal searches the ALPHA 6 is a vital addition to any security organization.

The ALPHA 6 will detect contraband substances from trace upwards, thus if an individual has recently handled explosives he can be targeted for surveil- lance or questioning or taken for further forensic analysis. Used correctly the ALPHA 6 will pinpoint the area to search in detail, i.e. the vehicle, bag or building to be searched, saving time and improving the success rates of searches.

EXAMPLES OF USE:

The ALPHA 6 is suitable for searches for both explosives and for drugs. The ALPHA 6 has been sold to many mili- tary and governments around the world for use is such diverse roles as airport drug screening, container inspec- tion, explosive search and route clearance. It has been tested by several national police forces and found to be consistently more reliable than search dogs in targeting an initial search location.

TECHNOLOGY

The ALPHA 6 is the end product of many years of re-search into molecular behavior. Whilst the theory is not new, similar technology powers Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners, the application of the theory into proven technology is the breakthrough of the Alpha 6.

The ALPHA 6 consists of four parts. An inductor, a con-ductor and an oscillator which are built into the handle of molecules oscillate at a specific frequency.

The oscillator within the ALPHA 6 is programmed to oscillate at the same frequency as that of the substance to be located. The oscillator within the ALPHA 6 is powered by the static electricity that is generated in the human body when breathing occurs. These currents are inducted into the ALPHA 6, causing the oscillator, pre-programmed to oscil- late at the specific resonant frequency of the search sub-stance.

Power comes from a transfer of static electricity generated in the human body. The ALPHA 6 then relies on another known physical law. Any charged body in motion gener- ates a magnetic field perpendicular to the direction of mo-tion. This is the principle that all electric motors and gen- erators operate on. Therefore when either the operator or the search substance is in motion, ALPHA 6 will detect the repulsion between the handle and the search substance and will point along the magnetic field generated due to the motion. It is this repulsion that allows the ALPHA 6 to indicate towards a search substance. In simple terms, the molecules in the handle are attracted towards the mole-cules in the substance resulting in the indication through the antenna.
