EMP cartridge
As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
I think it would be a prestigious vocation to sojourn at the American White Sands Missile Range. No I do not mean to be associated with all the spies for China there gathering intelligence, but perhaps to have as a colleague, say perhaps, Dr. Quest or Dr. Bishop.
That is what I was pondering in Johnny Quest was always so attractive, because Dr. Quest was thee most brilliant X Y and Z Factor genius on the planet in investigating and neutralizing fringe science. If one added Ray Bannon, the quintessential American Warrior, it was a wonderful dream quest to venture upon. An intelligent professional mind is such an attractive quality.
So in thinking about all of this, I would get an official white lab coat....mine though would have to be linen, most heavy canvas type duck, as I only have time for materials which are think. I see no use for phones or pagers, but my pocket would probably have a small tool kit, a Tech 9 or some variation of submachine gun, and I think a yellow Farmer knife....one should always have something like candy also....perhaps tangerine Altoids as I like the tins more than those horrid candies.....oh and a nice gell pen or two as I like gell pens, and then Dr. Cherry would be in her element for White Sands.
I have been creating in my mind an EMP Cartridge. What I wonder and delight about is how small it could be made to actually produce a circuit frying pulse. See the United States has a Wild Weasel jet which sends out such signals, but besides having the sun or a nuclear bomb, one can for battlefield situations have such a device for deployment.
There are all types of designs in this which I am Inspired to, like a bazooka type shell which would have a rotating tail to generate electric current and then the typical EMP device.
I suppose you do not know the EMP device, so I will explain it's rudimentary form, as EDU sites have or used to have the principles of them all over their government funded pages. An EMP device is really the most simple of things. In fact, you have been around them in your car forever. All an EMP is, is an electromagnet field, broken down, so the field collapses and gathers into one direction, creating an electronic pulse. In like manner, the old coils in cars or the new electronic coils in cars, which produce spark for your spark plugs are a form of EMP, as that is all a coil is, an electronic field which collapses and gathers the current from the coil to the post which travels down the spark plug wire to jump the gap in the spark plug.
Now you are ready to think about your own heavy white linen coat I suppose.
So all one does is has a metal rod. You place coils of wire wrapped around this rod which are small, and then wrap them with larger coils of wire. Hook it up to a battery or power source, to make the current flow which creates the electronic magnetic field, and you have a working coil.
The demon technology uses a great deal of electro magnetic propulsion designs, and that is why polarity changes in things when their systems are around in the former UFO fields of observations in Project Blue Book which the Air Force engaged in..........
I digress in this, as we are at White Sands, and not at the Lake working on magnetic drive propulsions.
Where was I?
Yes we now are at the coil which is charged. This is the core of the cartridge. Next we have to break the field, which is like the spark plug receiving the charge from the coil. In this, we simply do not have a plug wire though to send that charge, and our charge must be like the sun or a nuclear device detonated, direct the charge at the object of target.
This is simple in one places plastik cutter charges on the wire coils, so that when these cutters detonate from stern to bow, the magnetic field is concentrated and moved forward toward the object in a pulse.
I will not get into the advanced features of electronic coils which are really enticing as much as the Wild Weasel System, but I ponder this in an RPG or Bazooka type system how interesting this would be. It would be even more interesting in a mini shell of 30 caliber type in what a cartridge of this size could be amplified to accomplish.......for it is not the compound size wave which is necessary, but the direct concentration of energy into electronic circuits.
I see all sorts of things in this as much as this system shrouded in a full metal jacket, being capable of penetrating all sorts of things as solid metals to many feet of concrete to deliver the charge. That is something to be aware of in this too, as that rod is shrapnel and continues to move at speed until Newton takes over to bring it to a non motion condition.
So like I would have my heavy linen lab coat. I think the security would salute me too or come to attention, and perhaps three assistants.......maybe synthetics as I prefer them.....maybe one human, a female to answer the phone and say, "Dr. Cherry is busy Mr. Secretary, please address all communications either through the appropriate military or White House channels.", a Hummer, a helicopter, and I think a few horses would be pleasant too, to ride out and view the testing.
I realize the government has all of this already, but it is always nice to give the allusion that things are being improved upon, like minaturized EMP cartridges. Would it not be pleasant to have a ten thousand dollar missile which would fly down a multi million dollar tank's barrel, penetrate the armour and then EMP the inside, making the tank nothing but an expensive pile of metals?
How about you see a drone, being in the militia gaurding your state, and you pull out a 12 gauge type weapon which instead fires one of these EMP cartridges and you just swat that insect from the sky using electronic pulse?
Sure you can Wild Weasel these munitions, but I really would like a big pocket, heavy linen, white lab coat, with Dr. Cherry in candy apple red cursive letters, with my own top secret security badge pinned on.
I think this all hinges not so much on the intelligence services or military employing me at White Sands, but the ordeal of finding Dr. Quest and or Dr. Bishop to engage them in some type of activity so I could enjoy the working environment. One must have colleagues who are interesting or otherwise it is just you with a staff riding about on horses or frying circuits....one can do that watching Bonanza or Star Trek, and there is not much sense in engaging in any of this is one can see it on DVD.
nuff said.
