Can someone chip in on this.
The EMP bomb wouldn't necessarily end war, but it would end the American way of life. Nothing electronic would work anymore. We'd see the clock turned back 100 years in only a microsecond.

Tesla was certainly interested in something that disrupted electron flow through conductors, or enhanced that flow. Whether it was what we call EMP or not, or was something related is something else again.
But I imagine that anything that so interupted electrochemical activity would likely not be particularly good for living mammals, and might very well turn out to be something akin to a *death ray* if misused. And of course, the WWII efforts on the lines of *degaussing* the electromagnetic field as a counteractivity to enemy magnetic mines was also related.
