What is EMP? The term electromagnetic pulse (sometimes abbreviated EMP) has the following meanings: A burst of Electromagnetic radiation that results from an explosion (especially a nuclear explosion) or a suddenly fluctuating magnetic field. The resulting electric and magnetic fields may couple with electrical/electronic systems to produce damaging current and voltage surges. A broadband, high-intensity, short-duration burst of electromagnetic energy.
HEMP? • HEMP: Stands For High-Altitude ElectroMagnetic Pulse. This is the Military Terminology for what would be used to disable all electronics within a varying radius, certain areas on the planet are more susceptible to an EMP attack because of the Greater Strength in the Earth’s Magnetic Field over that area. If We were to be attacked by an EMP This is how it would be described, but EMP isn’t as simple as being used completely for weapons
Practical Uses EMP can be analyzed through many solutions, it is broadly applicable EMP can be used in T.V sets causing a better quality, more so then that of an HD, It can cause sharper quality with use of minimal band broadening. Through the discovery of EMP led the magnetic sciences, The MRI was first discovered through this break through in technology, the Magnetic sciences have, and continue to make ground breaking inventions today and in the future.
NNEMP NNEMP: Non Nuclear Magnetic Pulse Not a very expansive field, because in order to achieve the energy required a chemical explosion is needed, The NNEMP are used in bombs, and microwave weapons on cruisers and other Battleships. NNEMP is also used in Radars, and testing centers to see how well electronics survive against an EMP attack. The NNEMP is uses in strategic operations against enemy insurgents to knock out there electronics. It is also less destructive
Rail Guns Along side of the MRI the EMP led to the creation of the Rail Gun, the rail gun does not fire explosive rounds, rather it fires normal rounds at an explosive rate, Depending on the projectile they can reach up to 7 times the speed of sound. When Rail Guns are perfected they will revolutionize how weapons are maintained and what they are capable of. They will make weapons safer, and weapon jams virtually impossible to experience. They aren't only being developed to be applicable to small arms, they are working on making rail guns capable of delivering high speed missiles to target. The downside in Rail gun weaponry is finding a way to dampen the heat produced in the process of firing a projectile at such strength and velocity
