Once detonated, it employs the radioactive energy source Solinium 2 (an element not yet discovered by humans), destroying all living tissue in the area while leaving landscape and buildings untouched.
As it contains the history of the People and their life teachings, Artemis Fowl manages to secure a copy from an alcoholic fairy in Ho Chi Minh City and use it to kidnap Holly Short, and to decode Gnommish.
In Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony, Eoin Colfer states that the cam-foils are made of fairy-made diamonds that reflect light regardless of the direction and angle of viewing.
[6] A tiny LEP-issue camera within a contact lens; once attached to the user's eye, it is virtually invisible.
In The Eternity Code, Artemis uses a hazel-colored lens, causing Jon Spiro to realize that something is "wrong with [his] eyes".
[7] The invention of the iris cam won Foaly a school science project, Opal Koboi being runner up with her wing designs.
In Book 6, The Time Paradox, Butler had a heart attack when he tried to resist Opal Koboi's mesmer.
A part of the process not fully understood by the People is that human minds usually invent new memories to fill in the gaps.
The mood blanket is a multi-sensor massage and homeopathic garment meant for centaurs, created by Foaly.
The terms 'Mud People', 'Mud Men', 'Mud Woman', 'Mud Maid', 'Mud Boy', 'Mud Girl', 'Mud Kid,' and 'Mud Whelp' are generalizations used by fairies to address humans.
The guns are registered to only respond to one person, and every shot loosed by the Neutrino 3000 is recorded on a computer log.
There are no metal parts, and, as Foaly describes, it is "powered by kinetics, the motion of your body, with a backup mini-nuke cell...
Mulch Diggums stole it during the Hamburg Incident as mentioned in The Time Paradox and "Artemis Fowl" (first book) Powered by "gaseous columns vented from the earth's core", fairies can ride in titanium eggs or more leisurely shuttles to the surface to perform the Ritual or for other business.
[23] The elevators are natural vents which allow magma streams to shoot toward the surface;[24] these irregular pressure releases are watched by the LEP technicians, and "flare-prediction teams" are accurate to about a tenth of a second with a 99.8% accuracy rating.
[25] A piece of fairy technology developed by Foaly that infallibly tells whether or not a person has seen a specific image before.
The seals on the suction cups are implanted with micro needles, which inject sedative through the subject's pores.
[28] An extract from the Fairy Bible describing the Ritual reads, "From the earth thine power flows, Given through courtesy, so thanks are owed.
Pluck thou the magick seed, Where full moon, ancient oak and twisted water meet.
A computer system invented by Foaly that monitors all human telecommunications and reviews phone calls with fairy-related "buzzwords".
Fairies shield by increasing their heart rate, causing their bodies to vibrate so quickly that they are never in one place long enough to be seen by the naked eye.
Usually, when using the shield, the fairy encounters resistance from non-vibrating clothing, equipment, etc., which causes a slight shimmer in the air.
[32] The B'wa Kell goblin triad was armed with these weapons by Opal Koboi in the failed storming of Police Plaza.
It is standard procedure to spray any LEP property with solinium-based tracker, as shown in The Arctic Incident.
Foaly was able to find Mulch Diggums by tracking the gold he stole from the Fowl Manor Siege.
Artemis Fowl also used a Solinium-based device, concealed in a button on his bodyguard Butler's jacket, to prevent electronic devices spying on him in Spain, as seen in The Lost Colony – it is noted by Butler that they "may have ruined a few honeymoon videos", showing the Solinium wipes digital visual recordings as well as preventing them.
If one's state of consciousness is artificially changed (using sleeping pills, for example), the person in question will have dropped out of the time-stopped area into the outside world.
Following the return of the Demon island Hybras to Earth, No 1 releases Qweffor from Abbot's control, and begins training under Qwan.
As noted by one of Jon Spiro's staff members, Dr. Pearson, and Artemis Fowl II himself, theoretically it would take an eternity to get through the code.
