Coool.

Mini-EMP.

[FATHERFORD]

And people thought I was dumb wearing my tin foil hat.

That's an easy weapon to defeat.

Do you care to elaborate on how?

Do you care to elaborate on how?

Faraday cages designed into the construction of the building along with smaller faraday cages for individual components.

Beat me to it!

Works like a champ!

An electrical component in an ammo can, inside of a metal trash can, inside of a shipping container would probably survive any EMP attack short of a close bang from a designer nuke.

This thing would be an absolute killer for existing infrastructure and its true purpose is to raise the cost of defending yourself from an attack from the US of A.

The purpose of of a faraday cage is so that the electrons flow around the the cage and protect from a conductive charge reaching the components inside.

Each of the Items you listed are conductive and components touching the surface the box would be susceptible to the excited electrons traveling through the items, since the items are not multilayered to slow/redirect the electrons. The items also have minimal overlapping areas, which could result in direct leaks. Additional depending on where they are placed the could also act as an antenna or amplifier.

To properly use the items you would still need to use foil wrap, protective mesh, and/or rubberized coatings

LOL @ "it even took out the cameras", so how do we have footage?

And no leg humpers for the Airforce chick? Shame

[Downs]

Wood dew.

[SSMAN]

So is this essentially an EMP that this thing spits out?

Yes, through a waveguide.

Edit: It's really more like a microwave emitter than an EMP - the EMP is a single pulse, and the CHAMP uses a short burst of microwave radiation.

Fuck a bunch of this thing. I like seeing shit blown up and destroyed, even if I have to pay for rebuilding.
