Electromagnetic Quote by Christopher Farnsworth
““Basically, an EMP bomb is an electromagnetic coil wrapped around a simple pipe device. The detonation of the explosion releases electromagnetic waves in a single strong burst. The pulse fries anything with a computer chip that’s inside the blast radius—and the shrapnel destroys anything else that’s left. The effect is a lot like putting your laptop in a microwave. And then dropping the microwave off a cliff.””
