INTRODUCTION The Basic Idea Of An E-bomb: an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapon intense electromagnetic field. The Most Important Thing To Understand: Electromagnetism Generates Magnetic Fields Induce Electric Current. fluctuating electrical current in a circuit magnetic field can induce an electrical current in another conductor (radio receiver antenna).

INTRODUCTION A low intensity transmission only induces sufficient electrical current to pass on a signal to a receiver. When increase the intensity of the signal (the magnetic field), it would induce a much larger electrical current. The intense fluctuating magnetic field induce a massive current in just about any other electrically conductive object ex: phone lines, power lines, metal pipes. There are a number of possible ways of generating and "delivering" such a magnetic field.

THE NUCLEAR EMP THREAT The United States was most concerned with the possibility of a nuclear EMP attack This idea dates back to nuclear weapons research from the 1950s. In 1958, American tests of hydrogen bomb surprising results. A test blast over hundreds of miles away. The blast even disrupted radio equipment as far away as Australia.

THE NUCLEAR EMP THREAT electrical disturbance was due to the Compton effect. In the 1958 test, the photons from the blast's intense gamma radiation.

THE NUCLEAR EMP THREAT This flood of electrons interacted with the Earth's magnetic field to create a fluctuating electric current, During the cold war, U.S. feared the Soviet Union would launch a nuclear missile These days, U.S. intelligence is giving non-nuclear EMP devices, such as e- bombs, they could be used to create total blackouts on a more local level.

NON-NUCLEAR EMP WEAPONS The United States most likely has EMP weapons Much of the United States' EMP research has involved high power microwaves (HPMs). They're probably more like super powerful microwave ovens concentrated beam of microwave energy. One possibility is the HPM device would be mounted to a cruise missile, disrupting ground targets from above.

NON-NUCLEAR EMP WEAPONS One possibility is the HPM device would be mounted to a cruise missile, disrupting ground targets from above With inexpensive supplies and rudimentary knowledge, a terrorist organization could easily construct a dangerous e-bomb device. flux compression generator bombs (FCGs)

DESIGN OF E-BOMB Simple, potentially inexpensive design Armature-metal cylinder. This cylinder is filled with high explosive. stator winding-coil of wire surrounds armature sturdy jacket surrounds the entire device.

DESIGN OF E-BOMB A switch connects the capacitors to the stator, generates an intense magnetic field. The explosion travels as a wave through the middle of the armature cylinder. the cylinder comes in contact with the stator winding creates a short circuit. This compresses the magnetic field, and generating an intense electromagnetic burst.

DESIGN OF E-BOMB But it could do some serious damage. this type of weapon would affect a relatively small area.

HOW E-BOMB WORKS An e-bomb would destroy most electrical machines in its path But in the grand scheme of things, that's nothing. If an outage hits an entire city, and there aren't adequate emergency resources, people may die from exposure, companies may suffer huge productivity losses and millions of dollars of food may spoil. If a power outage hit on a much larger scale, it could shut down the electronic networks that keep governments and militaries running. We are utterly dependent on power, and when it's gone, things get very bad, very fast.

APPLICATIONS OF E-BOMB Neutralize most advanced electronics of the enemy military forces. Most of underground bunkers are hard to reach with conventional bombs and missiles. A nuclear blast could effectively demolish many of the bunkers, but this would take a devastating toll on surrounding areas.

APPLICATIONS OF E-BOMB An electromagnetic pulse could pass through the ground -- even electric doors. The bunker would be completely uninhabitable. Atom bomb greatly disturbs the natural Flora and Fauna, but the usage of e- bomb induces technical destruction

E-BOMB EFFECTS EMP technology is potentially non-lethal, but is still highly destructive. An E-bomb attack would leave buildings standing and spare lives, but it could destroy a sizeable military. Low-level electromagnetic pulses would temporarily jam electronics systems. More intense pulses corrupt important computer data and very powerful bursts would fry electric and electronic equipment.

E-BOMB EFFECTS In modern warfare, the various levels of attack could accomplish a number of important combat missions without racking up many casualties. ex : e-bomb could effectively neutralize: 1.vehicle control systems 2.targeting systems 3.communications systems 4.navigation systems 5.long and short-range sensor systems

E-BOMB EFFECTS the U.S. military has added sophisticated electronics to the full range of its arsenal. More rudimentary vacuum tube technology would actually stand a better chance of surviving an e-bomb attack. A widespread EMP attack in any country would compromise a military's ability to organize itself.

E-BOMB EFFECTS Effectively, an EMP attack could reduce any military unit into a guerilla-type army. they could easily kill people if they were directed towards particular targets. An EMP weapon could also neutralize vehicles, including aircraft, causing catastrophic accidents. In the end, the most far-reaching effect of an e-bomb could be psychological.

CONCLUSION Thus intelligent usage of this E bomb reduces the enemy potential destructing their Technology and it must be noted that this e bomb technology might become a major threat to existing electronics, if it falls in wrong hands. This again proves that electronics can also be destructive.
