Invisible, concentrated microwaves emitted from a bomb, have the capability of destroying all electronic devices rendering them useless. Everything we use is powered by electricity, running water, phones, cars, computers, traffic signals. Imagine a new dark age in a city where one of these bombs detonated. Scary, this is the new frontier of weapons.

in irreversible damage to a wide range of electrical and electronic equipment,
particularly computers and radio or radar receivers. Subject to the electromagnetic
hardness of the electronics, a measure of the equipment's resilience to this effect, and
the intensity of the field produced by the weapon, the equipment can be irreversibly
damaged or in effect electrically destroyed. The damage inflicted is not unlike that
experienced through exposure to close proximity lightning strikes, and may require
complete replacement of the equipment, or at least substantial portions thereof. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.airpower.maxwell.af.mil/airchronicles/kopp/apjemp.html">What is significant about MOS devices is
that very little energy is required to permanently wound or destroy them, any voltage in
typically in excess of tens of Volts can produce an effect termed gate breakdown which
effectively destroys the device</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9D6B973F-19E2-4B9C-9EFE-A170DA95345A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
