its an electromagenetic pulse. remember the matrix?
its kinda like that. just a hell of a lot less impressive to watch. they tend to work travel pretty well in space. but, you know. its all scifi and shit. -------------------- 32-bit whore

Basically, lots of RF energy that would fry most electrical equipment if the field strength is strong enough. There are some war theorist that believe blowing a snuke about 200 km in orbit would produce a EMP blast that would destroy about half of the US's comps.

is it true that an electronic device has to be operating for the EMP to have an effect?

i saw something about this on discovery.. they had some DoD guy saying it's a real threat that could cripple our country. luckily the terrorists can't seem to scrap together a nuke, much less put one in orbit. and if china or russia or any country capable of doing it, sent a missle, they know they'd get obliterated by the counter-attack.

QUOTE (pysex @ Apr 16 2007, 03:46 AM) is it true that an electronic device has to be operating for the EMP to have an effect? Maybe, but the power grid would go down so even if your computer would still work you would have no power. |

Defense = faraday cage
I'm sure there are ways of implementing this effect in modern jets. -------------------- Spam? Isn't that something poor people eat?

Good to see your are alive Mr Pigg If the field strengths is strong enough at the right part of the spectrum, it can destroy modern electronics even when off. -------------------- Southern Rock, beer and bears!
