The efficacy of electrical repellent systems has been the subject of some concern since the introduction of the Shark Shield product range, particularly in Australia.
In 2010, SafeWork SA, the government agency responsible for administering occupational health, safety and welfare laws in South Australia, commissioned a study into the effectiveness of the Shark Shield Freedom 7™ product. The findings of the research which were released in June 2012, found that that the Shark Shield Freedom 7™ ‘had an effect on the behaviour of white sharks, but did not deter or repel them in all situations.’

“For books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are; nay, they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them. I know they are as lively, and as vigorously productive, as those fabulous dragon’s teeth; and being sown up and down, may chance to spring up armed men.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“Few speeches which have produced an electrical effect on an audience can bear the colourless photography of a printed record.”

—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
