    Thanks!!! As an electronic repair business, I found my mobile EMP device to be absolutely essential in helping my business thrive. While mine is much larger than yours and runs off it's own generator and is the size of a horse trailer, it is essentially the same!! I just drive from neighborhood to neighborhood, and wait for the calls to come in.
    Thanks so much!

    Trick from 1982: When I was a kid at the arcade just hanging out, because I'd already spent my allowance on Space Invaders and Defender, there usually were some kids in a dark corner with a gutted piezo lighter offering free games. They just held the arching wire close to the slot face plate and a few clicks with it made the credit counter increase. I presume it was the coin counting mechanism that misstook these pulses as a coin insert. However it worked only on some machines, so even back then the trick was known in the industry.

    If you want to improve this do 2 things:
    1. Get a Gaussmeter to measure how big the pulse is.
    2. Think more about your coil. More turns doesn't necessarily help you get a bigger pulse because the extra turns increase your inductance, reducing the current which reduces your pulse. A large battery, a large capacitor and a few turns of heavy wire would produce a big pulse.

      Info unlimited has/had a design in their second evil genius book and it's a single inductor coil emp made using a 1" wide strip of copper. Spark gap was made with tool steel or titanium.
      Making a nondescript 10KV power supply isn't difficult.
      Unless you can find a wide flat "slapper" capacitor, unfortunately, I don't know if you can get quite the same results it purported. Caps were 5-10 KV. Width reduced the inductance and allowed higher current discharge, faster. If you can find anything low ESR, that might do, but you'd need metal bracket strips which might affect portability.
      IU seems to have closed shop for good now that Bob Iannini died in April this year (2023). But it's worth noting even their design was a questionable prototype at best. They probably didn't elaborate because of the implications of this type of device.
      Now we'll never know, perhaps.

    Also before you post about the camera not being effected read this, the range of the EMP shown is short ( approx 1ft ) as it is mainly made for demonstration purposes , the camera also has electro magnetic shielding inside of it that further prevent the EMP from harming it, most higher end cameras have this because if studio lightning overloads, then an EMP is created, so this way the camera remains safe, so yeah :D

    • @beep6445
      @beep6445 8 лет назад +14

      The range is determined by the size of the coil. the bigger and thicker, the stronger the wave/range. To measure it you'd honestly have to do trials with different size coils and see how far you can get it by making them bigger and bigger.
      Nodes, would be difficult, you'd need to create a remote to set off each of the charges opposed to a button, but you'd also have to make sure each node is far enough away from each other that they don't effect one another.
      Also it just a guess on this part but once the remote is used I'm assuming it's a one-off.

      Also under the u.s. constitution, laws restricting or infringing civilian ownership of arms, being ANY weapon of offense or armor of defense, are null and void, because they contradict the second amendment.

    Seems like many in this comment section think knowledge is a bad thing. The reality is, knowledge is power, therefore having knowledge is the best defense against those that would use it unwisely. Better to know what you opponent knows than be ignorant and defense challenged. Too, personal responsibility is key here. Hold individuates accountable for their actions. Depriving the many for actions of the few is just plain dumb.

      The magnetron/ transformer in a microwave is pretty much the same as the 2 components combined that he used. A transformer is basically a big version of the spark generator he used but it uses an AC input in stead of DC so it is way more powerful. So if you had some pretty high gauge wire you could use one for an emp. They are pretty easy to make if you have the right parts.

      An EMP's power is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. AKA it's power decreases very quickly when you go away from it, and the camera was probably a meter away. And if that guy made an EMP with an effective range of 1+ meter in his shack/garage/whatever (no offense :p) i'd be worried.

      I don't think you would even have to do that. He had the coil placed directly on the multimeter, and the pocket one placed next to it, so the camera would have to be really close for it to be affected. At least, that's just my assumption.

    The spark itself generates EMP. We see part of this noise spilling into the blue-white end of the visual spectrum. It's higher frequency and lower range but it will still generate harmonics which interfere with UV, radio, and microwave spectra. A spark gap seems unexciting but a bank of them could multiply "electrical" intensity much like wire loops multiply "magnetic" flux. Probably not enough hard EMP to disrupt or fuse circuits but maybe enough general EM noise to interfere with signals and communications within a (small) radius.

A question: magnetized copper wire - where does one obtain this? / what are common sources? 2nd question: why doesn't the emp disrupt itself? 3rd : say you wanted to increase the range, would it be a matter of larger capacitor or input current or ? Thanks in advance

    • @hjacobson22

      An EMP only damages things that can’t handle high voltage. So you can beef up your electronics and make them EMP resistant if you know how. But everything he is using to make the EMP emitter is designed for high voltage. So, it’s not going to be damaged by the EMP blast.

      Now you need Faraday cages around some of your equipment... to protect it from EMP discharges.
      Doesn't seem like rocket science needed to me.
      Ps study Electrogravitics too as a hobby. Most of your car size drones are not using batteries. To come up to speed study Tom Bearden, M.IT. or Tom Valone, or Salvatore Pais who is a Space Force employee. He can definitely bring you up to speed on that technology. For myself, simply a hobby. I find this fascinating.

      Electrogravitics is simply using high Voltage electromagnetic fields to generate power. This is why EMP may bring drones down unless they were smart enough to shield it from a pulsed discharge. It's not that difficult. I suggest Jefferson Labs here in Newport News enters these projects too.

      lmao. airport security is a joke. I snuck the insides of a small alarm clock, a long thin capacitor that looked like a blasting cap and a rectangular block of molding clay that could have easily been mistaken for c4 or some other explosive onto a plane in my carry on luggage. went through the scanner w/ no questions asked. I even assembled it covertly to look like a bomb on the plane before my transfer flight. right through security again. TSA is a waste of tax dollars.

      Doesn't work on iphones, probably wouldn't work on most apple laptops either (though I wouldn't know for sure). iphones are EM-shielded. Besides, if you want to destroy electronics you can use a hammer. It's easier.

      Choose one:
      Big EMP which will probably disable most electronics
      Hammer which will destroy anything but with cost of concealment
      Small EMP which will disable old electronics in range of 10 cm's
