Fascinating article about electromagnetic pulse weapons (EMP) like the ones seen in the Matrix. The ability and effectiveness of such weapons are very real and the fear is terrorist groups can construct a poor man’s ebomb from parts that total less than $400 dollars.
“Knock out electric power, computers and telecommunication and you’ve destroyed the foundation of modern society. In the age of Third World-sponsored terrorism, the E-bomb is the great equalizer.”

hmm. Though there is much dispute as to the actaully existance of an aimable e.m.p. cannon. This is not so much due to the lack of e.m.p. weaponry. it’s due to how to effectivly aim the sucker. E.m.p. pulses travel outward in a sphear the idea of a cannon is to send it out all in one direction only. To date I haven’t seen factual tell of one. However it is a known fact that in the field of lawenforcement. They have quite succesfully created an e.m.p. weapon that is fired out of a pursuing car along the ground and under a pursued vehicle. Where it then detonates an e.m.p. pulse and kill’s the vehicles electrical’s and effectivly ending the pursuit.
The only thing’s stopping it’s addition to the current lawenforcement arsenal is it’s mode of deployment… It misses if it hit’s gravel or other road obstruction’s and then they have 80 mile an hour elctronic weeled projectile in a traffic zone… Course personnaly I think it’s ussless on a an old standered as they would just pop the clutch and keep going anyway…
