THE ELECTROMAGNETIC BOMB

-a Weapon of Electrical Mass Destruction

PRINCIPLE :

 The Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) effect.

 The Electromagnetic Pulse is an electromagnetic shock
 This pulse of energy produces a powerful electromagnetic
field sufficiently strong to produce short lived transient
voltages of thousand of volts on exposed electrical conductors
like wires, Printed circuit boards etc.. .
 This can cause irreversible damage to wide range of electrical
and electronic equipments particularly computers and radio or
RADAR devices.
TECHNOLOGY BASE FOR E-BOMB :

As the name suggests, Electromagnetic Pulse is the key role of this

Electromagnetic Bomb.
The key technologies are:-

1) Explosively Pumped Flux Compression Generator (FCG)-

 FCG can produce tens of Mega Joules in tens to hundreds of
microseconds.
 Main parts of FCG include:
 Armature (copper tube).
 Stator (helical heavy wire coil).
 Initiator(plane wave explosion lens)

2) Magneto-Hydrodynamic (MHD):

