Non Nuclear EMP

[YT2095]

After reading this: http://www.scienceforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=24240 thread.

it addresses a question I`ve been pondering for some time, the Idea of a "DC" or "flatline" photon from a PM.

 

if you had two shaped explosive charges with a VOD of 7000m/s each with a front load of a NIB magnet and set to smash both of these magnets into each other at ~ 14Km/s.

with a suitable pick-up coil nearby, I predict you should get a White Noise EM spike.

 

if we take 300,000 and divide this by the 14 we get 21,428.6, so this spike should appear around this wavelength.

 

does this sound feasible?

yup, been thought of, been made, has a 1337 sounding name.

not as powerful as a nuclear EMP but its still enough to take out electronics and it doesn't have the nasty effects of a huge blast wave and radioactive fallout.

Frak! I really thought I was onto something too

i'm not sure i see the resemblance, tossing two magnets together isn't quite the same as powering a pulse magnet from an explosively pumped flux compression generator.

interesting find, insane_alien. perhaps it's possible to make it non-destructive.

I`ve actualy got Very similar plans to that device here (IA and I discussed it in IRC) so thats probably why there seems to be a gap.

 

Try shooting Very magnetised nails out an air-gun down a plastic tube with a few 1000 copper windings on it and watch the spark

 

it seems gappy cos half the chat took place elsewhere, appologies for that.

righto,
