Focused EMP pulse?
Dan Brown?
plunk Mike Luther wrote: A friend of mine cited a claim in a brand new book, "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown. So said, in it is a claim of a new weapon of choice that is installed in some USA military helicopters which is cable of aiming an actual EMP pulse at a target below that destroys computer and electronic equipment of focus to the pulse! Same as a 'normal' 30Megavolt/Meter EMP pulse from a nuclear device, or even a huge Solar Burst. As told me they used it recently to silence an Email production site they had to quickly do so that they couldn't do any other way, per this book.... Duhh ..... Few people seem to recall the last huge Solar Burst we got here in the USA in the mid-1800's about the time of the Golden Spike. So history says, it completely took out most of all the at-the-time telegraph systems which all had to be rebuilt or replaced. At any rate, can anyone here conjecture, or better still, teach me how it would be possible to create and focus an EMP pulse that could be used as described in an airborne delivery machine? What might the antenna be like? Just curious. W5WQN |
