Points ignition and EMP

Well, we aren't talking about Standard fireworks, if it makes it any
easier for you.

 

Err ... so how do you intend to generate a decent EMP ?

 

**** off big coil and points?

 

LOL

 

EMPs can be generated with conventional explosive devices too you know,
all be it on a smaller scale.

 

Nah, as Ivan said, there was an article in NS last year - **** off big
coil and a stick of dynamite

 

Well an EMP device is now a know 'bomb' that is nothing to do with a
'Nuke' I assumed that as he said 'if you want to use EMP as a weapon.'
then he was taking about a specific EMP device/bomb, not any sort of
EMP coursed buy a 'Nuke'.

EMP devices/bombs where used in the Gulf to knock out power stations.

I was referring to the EMP as a weapon bit not the altitude of the
explosion.

E-bombs

The E-bomb, capable of wiping out electronic equipment with a huge
burst of electrical energy into the atmosphere, is one of the newest
weapons the United States has developed. The sudden explosion of the
bomb results in an electromagnetic pulse or EMP, working like a
lightening that knocks out TV or computer, only on a citywide scale.

The circuits and wiring in electrical devices act like antennas and
pick up the invisible EMP wave as it moves through the air. The
affected electronics will either become temporarily disabled or
completely overloaded and destroyed by the excess energy.

"Virtually any solid state device is going to go, whether it's a cell
phone or a US$6 million computer," said Anthony Cordesman, a military
analyst with ABC News, a major US TV networks.

Delivered by cruise missiles, the E-bombs can fire millions of watts
of energy in microwaves, destroying computers, radios, telephones, and
almost anything that uses transistors, circuits, and wiring.

US media believe that Iraqi army's underground command-and-control
stations would be high on the list of targets of the E-bombs.

Where did the above article come from, Wired ?

I'll ask again ... how do you intend to generate a decent EMP ?



The only practicable way of generating a sufficiently large EMP that I
know of is by a nuclear explosion. Sure you can produce small ones by
conventional means, but there's nowhere near the energy released by a
nuclear explosion

 

What the septics used to take out power stations was several hundred
metres of carbon fibre, wrapped around a small core of conventional
high explosive; this simply laid a web of conductive strands over
substations and the like, shorting them out in rather a messy, but
non-radioactive way.
