Poorly designed or malfunctioning Shannfab may "fizzle" and release only a tiny fraction of its potential energy.The primary application to date has been military i.e. USO shows, however, there are potential other applications which have not yet been applied...Shannfab has been environmentally tested at the Dirty Dog, the Copa Bar, Caribbean Lights, the Factory Haunt, and the Red Eyed Fly in Austin Texas.
