‘E bomb’ to destroy and disable electronic systems in one blast
(Re-Issue)

Washington, March 15 (ANI): The U.S. Army is developing an ‘e-bomb’ that would use electromagnetic radiation to destroy and disable electronic systems and their operators in one blast.
The key is a magnet that blows up and spontaneously demagnetizes, releasing energy as a pulse of power.
Previous e-bomb designs were based on explosively driven magnetic flux compression generators. They used a series of tightly wound, current-carrying metal coils that are rapidly compressed by an explosion.
The new technology is much more compact.
It’s based on research showing that some magnets will spontaneously demagnetize when hit by a powerful enough shock wave, releasing a pulse of energy, in the process.
