Derro 0 Posted December 26, 2003 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Bolivar 0 Posted December 26, 2003 Very interesting! I have one question though! I know who Faraday is, but what is a Faraday Cage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derro 0 Posted December 26, 2003 (edited) 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. Edited December 27, 2003 by Derro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shadowfigment 0 Posted February 14, 2004 That issue came under a lot of fire for giving blueprints on how to make an EMP weapon. EMP's are dangerous IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WEAREBORG4102 0 Posted February 14, 2004 They are very powerful... I think they're banned.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
headborg 1 Posted March 1, 2004 Thank U for that link on how to build a EMP weapon, think i'll build me one for my Semi-Truck and throw the Radar-Detector away... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadowfigment 0 Posted March 5, 2004 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
headborg 1 Posted March 7, 2004 actually i have, didn't u see the Discovery special where future police cars will have emp pulse weapons where they can disable the electronics of a car they are n pursuit of.....i just want to beat them to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
