Wikipedia

  1. microwave bomb

    An electromagnetic pulse (EMP), also a transient electromagnetic disturbance (TED), is a brief burst of electromagnetic energy. Depending upon the source, the origin of an EMP can be natural or artificial, and can occur as an electromagnetic field, as an electric field, as a magnetic field, or as a conducted electric current. The electromagnetic interference caused by an EMP disrupts communications and damages electronic equipment; at higher levels of energy, an EMP such as a lightning strike can physically damage objects such as buildings and aircraft. The management of EMP effects is a branch of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) engineering. EMP weapons deliver high-energy EMP designed to disrupt unprotected infrastructure. In wartime, the most likely use would be to put the electrical network of the target country out of commission. The first recorded damage from an electromagnetic pulse came with the solar storm of August 1859, or the Carrington Event.

    A microwave bomb, also known as an electromagnetic bomb (E-bomb) or high-power microwave (HPM) weapon, is a weapon system designed to disrupt or destroy electronic devices, communication systems or electrical power infrastructure using an intense burst of electromagnetic radiation. These weapons cause their destructive effects by emitting a powerful microwave pulse that induces damaging electrical currents in susceptible electronic systems, potentially disabling them permanently. The radiation is non-lethal to humans but can cause significant damage to technological devices and systems.
