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...
