It's back to the future. The global EMP cannon race. Einstein was probably right. After the next world war, wars will be fought with sticks and stones. Reminder to research Amish.

I don’t know why the hell they would make this public.

Good question. Maybe Obama wants to give the Red Chinese a heads up just in case they don’t already know.

Ah, keeping the manhattan project “private” didnt work so well anyway. Theres always a spy somewhere, or a traitor. Unfortunate, but true.

I dont know why the hell they would make this public. Pentagon lobbyists have stakes in the companies that make the shielding products that protect against this sort of thing. Gotta drum up some sales.

Just a wild guess, but this release could be timed to the dispute, heating up fast, over the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea.

So that people will build shielded electronics?
It’s not difficult, it just adds weight.

"or it doesnt work"
It works.
But it's only a smaller, tactical version of an entire suite of weapons to end the world as we know it.

Can you shield an entire city block? An entire building?
How about a city?
Such weapons can be as small or as large as desired. There are multiple platforms for delivery.
Everything is in change.

Maybe research into protecting against EMPs will finally get the attention it deserves.
People have been screaming about the lack of protection of America’s digital infrastructure since the 1980s.

This is going to damage semiconductors and maybe some low current discrete electrnics.
It won’t do squat to power lines or transformers. Or to your can opener. Your toaster will probably be okay. If your electric oven just has knobs, it will be fine (timers and thermostats might be toast) so relax.
You don’t need to shield whole buildings.

And it will be an act of mercy by the Almighty.
I, for one, would rather get the whole thing over with once and for all.

Is that a “super-powerful microwave oven” in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
