The design consisted of small cylindrical blue devices that worked together, to create the containment field. Each device needed to be squeezed on the top and bottom, until it gave a small whir and glowed bright green. The device was then buried in the sand at a shallow depth. After three or four years, the devices decomposed. | The design consisted of small cylindrical blue devices that worked together, to create the containment field.

During trials, it was discovered that sand became slush after a year or so. There was conjecture that the devices may work in harder, clay like soils, but that was never tested. | |||
The design was considered "too effective", and was put on indefinite hold. | The design was considered "too effective", and was put on indefinite hold. |
