During the 1990s the US Govt. came into possession of a Russian manufactured, man portable, explosive electromagnetic pulse weapon.

Well that's something. Feel free to snap a picture of some problem sets you've worked out as a substitute...(interesting that you accept the authority of academia's textbook)

After reading this I decided to ignore the rest of your post. Just who do you think you are? I have met some pretty strange people but you appear to be the strangest. It is odd that you still write this stuff knowing how little I value your opinion.

I will never share anything with you except my opinion on various subjects. Even then I post now and then because I am busy most of the time. Maybe you should get a life. What a little man you must be to live through a Mormon discussion website.

Is this your way of peer review by attempting to silence opinions of those you find divergent from your own? How many people have you driven from this site because of your lack of human manners.

As was the case with a great deal of the Russian and FSU weaponry that the West was able to better evaluate after the fall of the Soviet Union, this one turned out to be not quite as bad as some had imagined. But it was bad enough.

We ended up assisting the installations we determined to be potentially vulnerable to take the needed countermeasures. Without going into detail, we advised them of a potential EMP threat and suggested to them that increased stand-off (one over r squared) and well grounded shields were their friends and helped in other ways when asked.

As it turned out, the most effective weapon for attacking the western power grid to date has been an over the counter rifle handled by someone who was a crack shot and knew exactly what to aim at.

He's asking you questions. He is stating his opinion of your answers. And you get to comment back, if you can think of anything worthwhile to say.

It's a discussion board. If you don't like it, don't start or join in discussions. Heat ... kitchen, ya know?

Whaaaaaa? Good Lord man the man is simply asking you for some blase evidence. Man if I had HALF the math prowess any of you guys have I would be MORE THAN HAPPY to share notes and show pics. Franktalk, you give yourself away here. Why on earth would you possibly ignore Gad when all he is asking for is some verification of what you are claiming? I mean seriously... Gad asking for evidence is his way of SILENCING the opposition?! What the hell? You really see it that way??? Asking for confirmation is a lack of manners??? Good God man what is the world coming to?

but you shared this, and now he's asking you about it.

Probably half of the real meat of the book is found in the exercises to use the equations he works out. This is pretty typical when studying subjects at this level.

Why share it if it's off-limits for discussion?

HRF gun?

HRF gun?

Hey Maks,

Oh, these are a lot more fun than an HRF gun.

In checking the USPTO website to find a link to the Texas patent for you, it appears that at least two more versions have been patented in the clear since 2014, making the basic design of these things pretty much an open secret.

These are not devices that can be built without special tools and electronics components, as well as the ability to machine composition C-4. (Yes, that C-4. You cool it down with dry ice or in a freezer and turn it cold on a lathe - very carefully).

Unless charge and detonation timing are set with a precise delay, and initiated with fast switches, you will get an expensive explosion without much pulse yield.

We had to build and detonate at least half a dozen of these things on a well instrumented test stand before we could get the timing right. (Of course - and Franktalk will surely be happy to hear this - the precise timing required is not something that you can get directly from Maxwell's equations. So there's that.)

If you are still interested, for curiosity's sake only, send me a PM and I will send you a few links and some friendly advice.

Taking out the western power grid? Don't need a gun. Just a large wrench and a windy day. And don't get me started on cascading dam failures.

For the record, I will also accept a snapshot of a college transcript, showing the science courses taken and the grades. in real life information can be blacked out in the snapshot, as well as the name of the institution, and anything else except for the science and math course information may also be blotted.
