Zorglonde
The zorglonde is a Onde imaginary exit of the world of the Cartoon of André Franquin.
Invented by Zorglub, which gave him its name, this wave is emitted by a special apparatus, and is used on a person so that this one loses its free will. She can be also used to paralyze the individuals, according to the emitted amount. Zorlgub uses it thus to build an army of “Zorglhommes” handled by the effects of this zorglonde.

Approaches scientific
Although the “Zorglonde” is a concept of Science-fiction, scientific studies are carried out on this topic since the Années 1960. According to the Quoted of sciences and industry, it would be possible to place somebody in a state close to that of the Hypnose via Micro-ondes, but the experiments undertaken until now give few results.
It acts directly on the centers of the will and causes a kind of cerebral apathy. A little as when one looks at too television. The electron beam sent by the miniaturized electron gun, causes a state of relieving and minimal attention near to the alpha rhythm, and the flutter of the beam, creates a secondary fascination, in which is carried out a certain degree of sensory insulation per blocking of perceptions.
The capacities of judgment and reflection are then deactivation and suggestibility is with its maximum.
It is enough to intimate some orders with a firm voice and they to them obéissent.
This scientific explanation thus translates only half of the effects of the zorglonde in the world of Franquin: the wave can be indeed used to attenuate the will, but not to reduce it. It cannot in addition be used for a conditioning of the subject concerned.
