This comment made my day
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

Trick from 1982: When I was a kid at the arcade just hanging out, because I'd already spent my allowance on Space Invaders and Defender, there usually were some kids in a dark corner with a gutted piezo lighter offering free games. They just held the arching wire close to the slot face plate and a few clicks with it made the credit counter increase. I presume it was the coin counting mechanism that misstook these pulses as a coin insert. However it worked only on some machines, so even back then the trick was known in the industry.
Ooh~ Same method kids using on our local. They use these 'cricket' lighter mechanism to 'hack' these credits to the machine.
On the Lock Picking Lawyer channel he showed using a homemade pocket EMP device to open an electronic lock.
We used to rum our shoes on the carpet holding a paper clip and touch the machine to shock it. The owners of the restaurant caught us and would just walk by and touch us to discharge us. I just thought about that.
@@joschmo6020 Oh, yes, also remember the old creeps hanging out at the Arcade sometimes. They were easily dismissed though. Free roaming kids! Of course, anybody suggesting kids should be monitored was a fascist.
Wish I knew about this hack to conquer Defender instead of using cash like a dummy. 😂 LOVE that game!
If you wrapped your coil with an iron core versus plastic it would extend your magnetic flux quite further. That way you didn’t have to basically be touching the other device. That’s why electric motors are wrapped with a chunk of iron. It increases its magnetism by 500x.
Is iron highly conductive ?
@@samuel97ful yah u played minecrafy?
@@walterblack9221 plain and simple it's metal.
@@walterblack9221 iron has metallic bonds
@@walterblack9221 no, they are held together by metallic bonds. Ionic bonds are formed between IONS with opposite charges. I noticed in your previous comment you said iron has many positive and negative ions, this is just not true. Metals combined with non-metals usually form ionic bonds, while metals form metallic bonds with other metals. This BASIC chemistry. And based on your "metallic bond is the structure of iron not its atomic structure" comment it's clear that you have no idea what you're talking about.

@Spirit of Vlad the Impaler no, it's very american to ask questions and to be skeptical. What's not american is banning civilians from having arms. Why? Because it goes against why the 2nd amendment, and the entire bill of rights, was created in first place.
Also under the u.s. constitution, laws restricting or infringing civilian ownership of arms, being ANY weapon of offense or armor of defense, are null and void, because they contradict the second amendment.
Please learn some human history and understand the objective truth behind governments' abuse of power.

If you want to improve this do 2 things:
1. Get a Gaussmeter to measure how big the pulse is.
2. Think more about your coil. More turns doesn't necessarily help you get a bigger pulse because the extra turns increase your inductance, reducing the current which reduces your pulse. A large battery, a large capacitor and a few turns of heavy wire would produce a big pulse.
How many turns would you recommend?
@@fireice88283 to 5 imo
@@fireice88283 to 5 imo
Info unlimited has/had a design in their second evil genius book and it's a single inductor coil emp made using a 1" wide strip of copper. Spark gap was made with tool steel or titanium.
Making a nondescript 10KV power supply isn't difficult.
Unless you can find a wide flat "slapper" capacitor, unfortunately, I don't know if you can get quite the same results it purported. Caps were 5-10 KV. Width reduced the inductance and allowed higher current discharge, faster. If you can find anything low ESR, that might do, but you'd need metal bracket strips which might affect portability.
IU seems to have closed shop for good now that Bob Iannini died in April this year (2023). But it's worth noting even their design was a questionable prototype at best. They probably didn't elaborate because of the implications of this type of device.
Now we'll never know, perhaps.

UA-cam: Wanna learn how to make a pocket EMP?
Also before you post about the camera not being effected read this, the range of the EMP shown is short ( approx 1ft ) as it is mainly made for demonstration purposes , the camera also has electro magnetic shielding inside of it that further prevent the EMP from harming it, most higher end cameras have this because if studio lightning overloads, then an EMP is created, so this way the camera remains safe, so yeah :D
Keystone Science First reply
How do you measure and extend the range of the EMP? Theoretically speaking, what if I wanted to cover an area with EMP nodes, how would you approach that?
now can you make it into a grenade form?? its a good experiment but its hardly portable or use in any practical way. the only way i can think of its to make it into a grenade set a trap in case someone try to access my computer.
The range is determined by the size of the coil. the bigger and thicker, the stronger the wave/range. To measure it you'd honestly have to do trials with different size coils and see how far you can get it by making them bigger and bigger.
Nodes, would be difficult, you'd need to create a remote to set off each of the charges opposed to a button, but you'd also have to make sure each node is far enough away from each other that they don't effect one another.
Also it just a guess on this part but once the remote is used I'm assuming it's a one-off.
Keystone Science it was one of the first thing I thinking about, before I read this :-D
Cool video! Need something like that with some friends of me.

Dude, I just found your channel today and DAMN. I subbed. Great work!!
Hi great video. The presentation is on point, I'm impressed. Not only the technical knowledge but the ability to convey that knowledge so a layman isn't left in the dust. Thank you. A question: magnetized copper wire - where does one obtain this? / what are common sources? 2nd question: why doesn't the emp disrupt itself? 3rd : say you wanted to increase the range, would it be a matter of larger capacitor or input current or ? Thanks in advance
An EMP only damages things that can’t handle high voltage. So you can beef up your electronics and make them EMP resistant if you know how. But everything he is using to make the EMP emitter is designed for high voltage. So, it’s not going to be damaged by the EMP blast.
This channel deserves way more recognition
That means a lot to me! Thank you !!! :D

Seems like many in this comment section think knowledge is a bad thing. The reality is, knowledge is power, therefore having knowledge is the best defense against those that would use it unwisely. Better to know what you opponent knows than be ignorant and defense challenged. Too, personal responsibility is key here. Hold individuates accountable for their actions. Depriving the many for actions of the few is just plain dumb.

"Scuce me Sir, but only customers can use the restroom."
It Worked like wonders.
I was honestly just curious how feasible it was to make one. Just watched the newest episode of McGyver and in the show he made one using the magnetron from a microwave. I tend to like looking up the science side of things when I see stuff like that I don't fully understand. Thank you for sharing your personal experiences and learning.
Mark Curry
The magnetron/ transformer in a microwave is pretty much the same as the 2 components combined that he used. A transformer is basically a big version of the spark generator he used but it uses an AC input in stead of DC so it is way more powerful. So if you had some pretty high gauge wire you could use one for an emp. They are pretty easy to make if you have the right parts.
Are you a time traveler or am I?
You're aware McGyver isn't a science documentary, right?
It's about as real as Rick and Morty.
Is it just me? Or did his electrical map look an awful lot like Dilbert...

I like how you explain things on your videos. It's not complicated with terms people who aren't experienced with electronic wouldn't know, it's just simple and straight to the point. Great video
You should have demonstrated the EMP on a device
remusomega great idea! Let's use a device that if powerful enough would knock out the device used for recording video, mind you could just place the recording apparatus out of range obviously. But it's still a risk.... I know your trolling but it's for others clarification.
Did he say to use it on the camera...? No. He said a device. I was waiting for the same thing. To use it on a light, a handheld calculator, an old cellphone, etc.
Rick Houston
Obviously, you can place the recorder at a safe distance. For your family's sake, I hope you are trolling

Good educational video dont think ill make one but the lnowlage of how they work is pretty darn cool. Thanx!
Your ELECTRONIC CAMERA seems to work just fine around your pocket EMP even when you bring it close. Not even any static in the picture or sound. Impressive.
Wonder how many lists I just put myself on lmfao
why didn't it affect your camera if it's an emp?
Daniel Hong idk good question
he prob has a camera strong enough or just a camera that he bought that is good enough maybe he just gave it armor :3
An EMP's power is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. AKA it's power decreases very quickly when you go away from it, and the camera was probably a meter away. And if that guy made an EMP with an effective range of 1+ meter in his shack/garage/whatever (no offense :p) i'd be worried.
4nto418 oh, ok
Faraday cage, perhaps? though, not mentioned if he did. also, could have been zoomed in from a great distance.
Thank you for bestowing this wisdom upon me
UR REALLY GOOD AT EXPLAING THINGS SFBFHV I NEVER UNDERSTOOD IT BEFORE
aside from just breaking things to break things, a possible illicit use for this would be insurance fraud. Set if off near a laptop that's nearing the end of it's warranty, and it's sufficiently broken without being obvious what happened. It will look like manufacturer defect and would be covered. Of course, this is a very naughty thing to do.

You can disable an electronic ignition car or fully electric car with one of these. The potential for destruction is insane.
It's like watch dogs in this bitch
I’m pretty sure a battery that size can’t disable a fucking car 😂
InstrumentalistTurtle not necessarily true, if you have a fairly powerful USB killer, you can disable a hybrid/electric car
Skypcharge Plays Well that has been tried but no that will just kill the port you are using and even that if ports are not protected against attacks. Neither this or a killer USB will kill a hybrid or electric car
to all your subsequent replies.... lmao.
to your question, yes and no. for the tiny bit of energy release by the one in this video to do any damage, you would have to locate the main control box and get pretty much right up against it. At the very least, it would erase the prom or eprom memory in the control box, resulting in costly repairs.
you just earned yourself a new subscriber kept me intrigued thru the entire video never realized how much I missed science class until I watched your video
BRILLIANT! Thank you!
Very interesting experiments ! Thank you for your information
I have a neighbor who play loud music all day and late at night I would surly used this if I can get it to reach at least 50ft
Mykey McK If they have an outside fuse box you can just find something heavy to whack the shit out of it with. Just make sure you're properly insulated
Just get a microphone and a guitar amp then plugin it near the loud music it will make there music said like shit when echoing back at them
Another way to make a EMP is detonate a nuclear fission bomb in the sky, the blast will create a lot of free electron and will hit the ground
Lancelot V I'll go get the one I have in my back yard finally I have a use for it
Lancelot V ok I'll just grab my pocket nuclear fission bomb and blow it up over my city no problemo
Lancelot V sounds much more easy than grabbing some wire coils and capacitors and putting them together. Will try!

Watching this high I literally thought your emp would destroy my phone lmao
Did you just make a tazer out of 9 volt battery? I am impressed.
You learn about transformers and coils at age 16, it's rudimentary
I hate school physics... It's so simplified for us 'kids'. I feel like physics and chemistry is a one big piece and you cant just split it up.
If you want to be technical, chemistry is one field of physics, just like kinematics or quantum. They separate them because it is the broadest field that is useful to understand for non-physicists.
If you want to be even more technical, physics is just applied mathematics
mathematics is just applied numbers

+NihkzMods oh hahaha I get it xD
Keystone Science xD
no, science classes failed him :)
why did it not kill the camera?
Likely because the camera was far away enough to not be affected, he most likely zoomed the camera in so you could still see it work, but have it far enough away to avoid being affected by the ionized air being generated by the EMP.
also many high end camera are designed to be emp resistant do to how easy it is to over load a studio
To have a significant ranged emp, you'd probably need to carry around a car battery.
or if you REALLY want one that's actually effective, you have to detonate a nuclear bomb in the atmosphere.
Head Trip FPV thats what I wondered
You're the dude everyone should want in their apocalypse team
You get a sub and like because of how smooth and precise your video was loved it hate videos with all the unnecessary words nicely done
Your video appeared in the feed on my UA-cam home page. This must be very weak because your camera never glitched once.
Cory Gunter-Smith Same thought here.
Cory Gunter-Smith or he protected the camera in a housing or something similar. he wears a tin foil hat too
the EMP has to be right up next to the device for it to actually do damage, and I had the camera a ways back just zoomed in, also ( I don't know if this is the case ) but most modern day electronics ( like smart phones ) have faraday cages around their circuitry ( basically little metal plates ) and these protect it from electro magnetic pulses
Applehead1234 ???
Applehead1234 You're damaged...

That's real science right there 😂
Saw this and subscribed... nice work
Watching for educational purposes are we?
how come it didn't mess up the camera?
King Cletus magnetic fields greatly reduce over distance they must be very close in order to work
The strength of the electromagnetic field is reduced by the square of the distance, so like spencer said, it needs to be close to work, otherwise it will be too weak.
Okay I actually had the same question. Didn't realize it was already asked and answered. So your saying he just zoomed in out the ass on his camera to keep it outta range of the EMP?
I don't think you would even have to do that. He had the coil placed directly on the multimeter, and the pocket one placed next to it, so the camera would have to be really close for it to be affected. At least, that's just my assumption.

That way most use the term "EMP" is a misnomer. The acronym simply means ElectroMagnetic Pulse, and they can be generated in a number of ways. As you pointed out, nuclear explosions generate them (large ones!). The sun generates them. A pulsed current through any conductor (including the air) will generate one. The questions that must be answered from an engineering standpoint are:
1) How strong must the pulse be to damage targeted equipment (i.e., how much current)?
2) How far will your device transmit an EMP at the strength needed to damage said equipment? and
3) How large is the area covered by your device at the desired pulse strength (e.g., can it target specific areas)?
These are the questions that help decide on the engineering problems to be solved. The device I built some years ago could only destroy unshielded silicon junctions in diodes, transistors and ICs at about 25 feet. And it took a very large current pulse (> 1000 amps) through a very heavy gauge coil type antenna to do that. It is fun to play with, i admit.
Cool video. Liked and subscribed.
