** FILE ** Pete Bitar, president of Xtreme Alternative Defense Systems, looks over the output from a demonstration unit of a directed-energy weapon at the company's offices in Anderson, Ind., Thursday, July 29, 2004. The company beat out 26 other promising new companies to win the first Indiana Venture Idol contest. They won the top $10,000 prize for its laser-directed weapons, which send out electrical discharges that can incapacitate humans up to 30 feet away. The device works by creating an electrical charge through a stream of ionized gas, or plasma. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy)
