The obvious flaw in the slaw is that this was developed by SCIENTISTS who have no training in the application of technology. To have a chance at applying technology in a (hopefully) practical manner, it requires an engineer. This is NOT any sort of practical application of any sort of method that could remotely be called technology by anyone living in the 21st century.
How about a tightly focused repeating EMP discharge that would smoke ALL electrical circuits wired smaller than ten gauge for a two hundred yard radius around a company of soldiers? Have we called up so many 50 year olds from the NG with pacemakers for combat duty that this is not feasible, or is it that important to maintain the RFID chips in body armor so the DoD can send bills to the familites of dead/wounded soldiers?
Before people call for a ZOT, I want it made clear that I feel there has been ten times too much "hearts and minds" BS in Iraq versus one tenth as much "let God sort 'em out" as should have been used.
How about it? Donno about scientists, but I think most engineers agree to one over r-squared. 1/r^2. It's pretty clear. You have a way to beat physics?
And just how do you plan to generate an EMP? Implode a superconducting magnetic dipole? Just curious.
