The E-bomb

Electromagnetic Bomb

Eric Natkinniemi

Have you ever been without electricity for more than an hour ? One day Three days ? You never realize how much you value electricity until you are without it . As a society we depend on electricity to run everything from are refrigerator to our businesses to are motor vehicles Technology is always progressing with new inventions in the case of the electromagnetic bomb this is no different . The electromagnetic bomb or E-bomb is another form of a weapon of mass destruction . The E-bomb takes advantage of how we

rely so heavily on electricity . It is designed to not just disable but destroy electronic devices by sending out an electromagnetic pulse or an EMP . An EMP is a burst of electromagnetic radiation from an explosion , the resulting electric and magnetic fields merge with electronic systems to produce catastrophic currents and voltage surges . An EMP is a form of electromagnetic induction as this is the production of voltage . If an E-bomb were to explode it alters the magnetic flux lines of the earth meaning the North won 't be as affected but the East , South and West will experience the eye of the blast if you will . This would mean thousands of volts of electromagnetic energy from the highest positives to the highest negative polarities transferred via air and power lines . This is an important weapon in have in a war as it can take out your opponent 's form of communication . This is a unique weapon of mass destruction because it does not directly take the lives of human beings , rather takes the things away that are essential for living . Even though the E-bomb is still considered to be in a research stage if it were to be paired with a relatively small nuclear warhead that exploded in the atmosphere it could send out enough power to wipe out power coast to coast in the United States . Like stated before even now this type of technology is still in a research phase but there is speculation that the USA used one during the 1991 Gulf War . In basic principles An E-bomb is as complex as a radio (which is not very . Electric current produces a magnetic field and changing a magnetic field can induce current . To give you an example a small radio transmission emits enough energy to send it to a receiver , what an E-bomb does is highly intensifies the current frying the semi conductor making it beyond repair

The E-bomb is considered a weapon of mass destruction , it does not kill humans directly but it causes drastic effects where it can destroy a society . An electromagnetic bomb acts in a finesse manner as other nuclear war heads bring the power . This technology is a dangerous power to have and needs to be exercised only in the most extreme circumstances , which there shouldn 't be as this world as a whole needs to strive for peace and leave the World Wars behind us . Let 's clear something...
