Poor man's EMP

Recommended Posts

I was reading a Scientific American magazine one day and found an article about Non-Nuclear EMP weapon's. Apparently these weapon's can be built for as little as $400 US, even one's capable of defeating Faraday cages.

Very interesting!  I have one question though!  I know who Faraday is, but what is a Faraday Cage? 

It's a cage used mostly to protect sensitive electronic's from various EM disturbances and is the primary type of EMP shielding used.

 

To learn more go to this site Faraday cage - Wikipedia

 

 

There's a site that directly refers to Faraday cages as a type of EMP shielding but it looks like a survivalist site. It tells you more about how to make Faraday Cages than How they work.

If you were to detonate your homemade EMP in you truck, then your truck would immediately stop working. Mabye you need to do a little more homework on Electromagnetic Pulse Weaponry.
