Introduction:
It is a Future weapon i.e. more suitable weapons than conventional weapon to achieve shock effect over large target sets with small attacking forces.
Electromagnetic bombs (E-bombs) can perform such a role.
The objective is to paralyze the enemy’s communication systems as quickly as possible.
E-bomb Technology Base:
Power source - Explosively pumped Flux Compression Generator (FCG).
FCG invented by Los Alamos Labs during the 1950s.
FCG can produce tens of Mega Joules in tens to hundreds of microseconds.
Peak current of an FCG is 1000 X that of a typical lightning stroke.
The Physics of the FCG:
Fast explosive compresses a magnetic field
FCG transfers mechanical energy into the magnetic field
Peak currents of Mega Amperes demonstrated in many experiments
FCG Internals:
Armature - Copper tube / fast explosive
Stator - Helical heavy wire coil
Initiator - Plane wave explosive lens
Jacket -Prevents disintegration due magnetic forces
