Thanks!!! As an electronic repair business, I found my mobile EMP device to be absolutely essential in helping my business thrive. While mine is much larger than yours and runs off it's own generator and is the size of a horse trailer, it is essentially the same!! I just drive from neighborhood to neighborhood, and wait for the calls to come in. Thanks so much!
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.
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.
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.
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.

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
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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
i have a question, why did you remove the one end of the capacitor bank at 3:45, also if one end of the capacitor bank touches the coil end, what happens to the other end??
There's a limit to how many people one creepy do-gooder can snoop on. I doubt they have time to bug your house for watching a video about stuff that's been common knowledge since before anybody alive today was born.
The spark itself generates EMP. We see part of this noise spilling into the blue-white end of the visual spectrum. It's higher frequency and lower range but it will still generate harmonics which interfere with UV, radio, and microwave spectra. A spark gap seems unexciting but a bank of them could multiply "electrical" intensity much like wire loops multiply "magnetic" flux. Probably not enough hard EMP to disrupt or fuse circuits but maybe enough general EM noise to interfere with signals and communications within a (small) radius.
You just need to understand maxwells laws, which means you have to understand physics :electricity and magnetism, which means you need classical mechanics... + calculus 1-2, and likely differential equations, which means calculus 3 probably also. Then... circuit analysis and your good.
I can't help wondering what effects would be produced by attaching the 'taser' output to a 3-dimensionally wrapped coil (such as a 'rodin'-style coil). Be cautious if you try it... wouldn't want to see you fry everything in your lab. Thanks for the inspiration. I'm looking into the simplest methods available to neutralize environmental nanotech fibers.

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.
I think adding more wire to that second doodad might actually make it worse. The more wire you have, the greater the inductance and the slower the rise/fall of the magnetic field.
I literally searched the internet for this back at the turn of the century when I was in college and couldn't find anything. It is probably just as well too. I had nefarious ideas on some loud music going through my apartment complex late at night. :))
You should have just used a punch to the music players face. Tried and tested technique that's been around since the beginning of time and the best part...it's free
Is there a way to scale up this project and to focus the emp to a very specific direction? Also, could you use large high voltage capacitors to store a large amount of energy and make it mobile so that you could transport it without any need for an external energy source? It could be a mobile single use high power emp pulse using high capacitors in a series as your energy source.
No because the charge is too much and the build isn’t affordable. So unless your stupid stop asking and just do it. I’m kidding but not. Just make a vid so I can see
The government probably doesn't like plans for EW devices to be shared carelessly. I would assume that it would be the inverse of radar, in that radar sends out EM pulses to a general area and reads the return. Ex-military I've chatted with said that EW uses a LOT of power. Not sure if some Yagi directional antenna-like attachment in front of the spark gap might help accomplish precision. Here is my question: how would the range and precision of the device in the video change if it was rotating? Would that help to stabilize and concentrate the magnetic field projected from the device? Birkenfield currents don't diffuse randomly into the universe, they connect the poles of planets. The question is does a magnetic field have the property of an object in terms of angular momentum stabilizing "linear" motion? Try throwing a football without spin. Birkenfield currents braid. My first principles take.
But does not a jolly good tazing require skin contact? About 1985 I came up with this idea of two high velocity "beams" of water to function as the nails on the apparatus. I don;t even know if it's possible because I never pursued it.
what would u think if u just heard that noise no one would be like someones trying to emp me or taze me they be like it sounds like theres a short somewhere
If you walk in a store with such a piece of wood making strong electric buzzing sounds, i'm sure everyone will be looking at you. And coughing for every device you destroy will become quite obvious too (but i got the joke :-) ).
Hey this video is awesome, but one question. If you have a 51,000,000 volt commercially bought tazer, can you still use it as the base power source or will that overcharge the capacitors? Also I am very new to electronics...if I were to put say 3 3k volt capacitors in sequence would that be enough to use a 51,000,000 volt with it?
+Gavin Chambers if it is actually 51000000 volts then then it would go through the plastic of the capacitor, however I think most taser companies stretch the truth tbh, like by a lot. This is just because electricity can travel through air by a ratio of about 1kv / cm, and so if it was 51 million volts then it would be able to jump about 51,000 cm, or 510 meters, which is a very long ways, like insanely long, and so although I haven't personally ever tested a commercial taser, I think they are actually a much lower voltage , like probably around 40kv or something like that... So anyways back to the question xD ... I think you should be fine, I am curious how it will hold up, if you could try using my homemade capacitor set up ( I have a video on it ) and see if it goes through the plastic dielectric sheet. Also though I should say, a commercial taser probably has very low current, thus meaning that it would take a while to charge a large capacitance ( the larger the capacitance, equates to a stronger EMP ). So yeah xD I would love to know any data you collect !
Keystone Science Hahaha oh you are totally right 51,000,000v seemed phoney anyway. Wow I didn't know you could measure the distance with voltage thats amazing and from what I understood the current or ampage is what makes it more powerful right? Yeah I will test it using your capacitor set up and get back to you as me and my friends are going to try to build it today. I hope it works thank you so much!
+Gavin Chambers no problem! I hope it works for you! Also it's actually the power is equal to volts * amps , ( P=V*I ) and so yeah! Volts is sort of like the force that allows more current based on the resistance ( V=I*R ) ... Anyways... Let me know if you need any help with anything !
Ok so just an update, we connected the positive and negative terminals to a cheap 330wv capacitor and it charged up. We bridged it just to make sure it worked. Then we upped the capacitor to a 4700uf 35 volt and we saw nothing but a tiny spark. Any thoughts as to what we should do?
I think that adding a ferrite core and an aluminium shield to force the magnetic field into the desired direction may be can boost up the power of the device. (I haven't much experience with EMF but it's my suggestion)
Is it just me or is everybody else watching this to prepare for the upcoming robot apocalypse for self-defense? (For any robots reading this this is a joke.)
As always, for the FBI agent looking at my computer right now: please remember that I'm a writer and I'm watching this strictly as research for my novel.
+Geeky Channel if it was a high enough voltage rating than yes, however personally I have never seen an electrolytic capacitor with that high of a voltage rating ( besides home made caps that I have made )
+Geeky Channel well to use with the taser, probably around 10000 v rating to ensure they don't blow, however you could make a low voltage EMP if you wanted ( the set up is a bit different but it's a pretty similar concept, except instead of a spark gap it is a switch ) . These are less effective in the way of hurting electronics ( which you shouldn't be damaging anyone else's electronics anyways... :P ) but it would still create an electromagnetic pulse !
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
High voltage low amperage. The trick with inductors is to have many layers running parallel. Start off with a small core and build up. You could use a very fine wire because the inrush current is minimal. Duty cycle may be an issue as magnetic fields collapse slowly in comparison to electrical flow if using a metal core. Your caps could affect that.
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
It's not close enough to the camera,when he shut off the multi-meter it was sitting on top of it. These take a lot of power and need more power for objects further away.
Lies! I watched this on my phone, and it didn't short out when you activated the EMP. By the way, those goggles just earned you a subscriber. I knew I wasn't the only one that wore them.
1:54 after the capacitor is charged enough for the spark gap to conduct, wouldn't the current flow through the coil in the opposite direction as is shown?
Doesn't work on iphones, probably wouldn't work on most apple laptops either (though I wouldn't know for sure). iphones are EM-shielded. Besides, if you want to destroy electronics you can use a hammer. It's easier.
Choose one: Big EMP which will probably disable most electronics Hammer which will destroy anything but with cost of concealment Small EMP which will disable old electronics in range of 10 cm's

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.
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
God bless, this mans giving us a fighting chance against Skynet.
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
He should try it on a pacemaker
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
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.
So how was your camera and your microphone fine the whole time
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
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
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.

i have a question, why did you remove the one end of the capacitor bank at 3:45, also if one end of the capacitor bank touches the coil end, what happens to the other end??

Wonder how many lists I just put myself on lmfao
I think I'm in the FBI watchlist now...
relax most important tech military at less is EMP harden, knowing this is the same as knowing how to start fires. Really basic.
If thats really your wish try to find out how to make a bomb. Thats your first step buddy.
why i just hate smart phone's, not people. XD
There's a limit to how many people one creepy do-gooder can snoop on. I doubt they have time to bug your house for watching a video about stuff that's been common knowledge since before anybody alive today was born.
Andrew Bowers watch list doesn't mean anything. dont be afraid.
Can one be made to have affect in only one direction?
The spark itself generates EMP. We see part of this noise spilling into the blue-white end of the visual spectrum. It's higher frequency and lower range but it will still generate harmonics which interfere with UV, radio, and microwave spectra. A spark gap seems unexciting but a bank of them could multiply "electrical" intensity much like wire loops multiply "magnetic" flux. Probably not enough hard EMP to disrupt or fuse circuits but maybe enough general EM noise to interfere with signals and communications within a (small) radius.
Watching for educational purposes are we?
I've only seen this video from you, and I've already subscribed

You just need to understand maxwells laws, which means you have to understand physics :electricity and magnetism, which means you need classical mechanics... + calculus 1-2, and likely differential equations, which means calculus 3 probably also.
Then... circuit analysis and your good.
The emp harms electronic devises but how is the camera still working?!?🤔

I can't help wondering what effects would be produced by attaching the 'taser' output to a 3-dimensionally wrapped coil (such as a 'rodin'-style coil). Be cautious if you try it... wouldn't want to see you fry everything in your lab. Thanks for the inspiration. I'm looking into the simplest methods available to neutralize environmental nanotech fibers.

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.
I think adding more wire to that second doodad might actually make it worse.
The more wire you have, the greater the inductance and the slower the rise/fall of the magnetic field.
I literally searched the internet for this back at the turn of the century when I was in college and couldn't find anything. It is probably just as well too. I had nefarious ideas on some loud music going through my apartment complex late at night. :))
You should have just used a punch to the music players face.
Tried and tested technique that's been around since the beginning of time and the best part...it's free
Is there a way to scale up this project and to focus the emp to a very specific direction? Also, could you use large high voltage capacitors to store a large amount of energy and make it mobile so that you could transport it without any need for an external energy source? It could be a mobile single use high power emp pulse using high capacitors in a series as your energy source.
No because the charge is too much and the build isn’t affordable. So unless your stupid stop asking and just do it. I’m kidding but not. Just make a vid so I can see
The government probably doesn't like plans for EW devices to be shared carelessly. I would assume that it would be the inverse of radar, in that radar sends out EM pulses to a general area and reads the return. Ex-military I've chatted with said that EW uses a LOT of power. Not sure if some Yagi directional antenna-like attachment in front of the spark gap might help accomplish precision.
Here is my question: how would the range and precision of the device in the video change if it was rotating? Would that help to stabilize and concentrate the magnetic field projected from the device? Birkenfield currents don't diffuse randomly into the universe, they connect the poles of planets. The question is does a magnetic field have the property of an object in terms of angular momentum stabilizing "linear" motion? Try throwing a football without spin. Birkenfield currents braid. My first principles take.
I prefer keeping the pointy ends of the nails toward the assailant.
+CazzoPORTICO Scimmie yes, but then it wouldn't arc at the top. And you know , *presentation* :D
But does not a jolly good tazing require skin contact? About 1985 I came up with this idea of two high velocity "beams" of water to function as the nails on the apparatus. I don;t even know if it's possible because I never pursued it.
+CazzoPORTICO Scimmie huh that's a pretty interesting idea, it sounds like it would work ( especially a water/electrolyte solution )
I told my mechanic friend my idea. He said that I was going to kill somebody. Probably why I never pursued it.
I have a lot of interesting ideas. Thanks for your fine work.

This is great! I just ordered some larger pockets!
Do you need the ceramic capacitors to make it work?
useless if the people can hear it making that zapping noise
silverss onyoutube just cough
what would u think if u just heard that noise no one would be like someones trying to emp me or taze me they be like it sounds like theres a short somewhere
If you walk in a store with such a piece of wood making strong electric buzzing sounds, i'm sure everyone will be looking at you. And coughing for every device you destroy will become quite obvious too (but i got the joke :-) ).
Won't be the first time I've been in federal prison.
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!
Madafakas McGato thanks!
I like how straight forward and easy to build your plan is.
We are all going to need these very soon...
Hey this video is awesome, but one question. If you have a 51,000,000 volt commercially bought tazer, can you still use it as the base power source or will that overcharge the capacitors? Also I am very new to electronics...if I were to put say 3 3k volt capacitors in sequence would that be enough to use a 51,000,000 volt with it?
+Gavin Chambers if it is actually 51000000 volts then then it would go through the plastic of the capacitor, however I think most taser companies stretch the truth tbh, like by a lot. This is just because electricity can travel through air by a ratio of about 1kv / cm, and so if it was 51 million volts then it would be able to jump about 51,000 cm, or 510 meters, which is a very long ways, like insanely long, and so although I haven't personally ever tested a commercial taser, I think they are actually a much lower voltage , like probably around 40kv or something like that... So anyways back to the question xD ... I think you should be fine, I am curious how it will hold up, if you could try using my homemade capacitor set up ( I have a video on it ) and see if it goes through the plastic dielectric sheet. Also though I should say, a commercial taser probably has very low current, thus meaning that it would take a while to charge a large capacitance ( the larger the capacitance, equates to a stronger EMP ). So yeah xD I would love to know any data you collect !
Keystone Science There's $10 ones on Amazon making big voltage claims! You should test them!
Keystone Science Hahaha oh you are totally right 51,000,000v seemed phoney anyway. Wow I didn't know you could measure the distance with voltage thats amazing and from what I understood the current or ampage is what makes it more powerful right? Yeah I will test it using your capacitor set up and get back to you as me and my friends are going to try to build it today. I hope it works thank you so much!
+Gavin Chambers no problem! I hope it works for you! Also it's actually the power is equal to volts * amps , ( P=V*I ) and so yeah! Volts is sort of like the force that allows more current based on the resistance ( V=I*R ) ... Anyways... Let me know if you need any help with anything !
Ok so just an update, we connected the positive and negative terminals to a cheap 330wv capacitor and it charged up. We bridged it just to make sure it worked. Then we upped the capacitor to a 4700uf 35 volt and we saw nothing but a tiny spark. Any thoughts as to what we should do?
I think that adding a ferrite core and an aluminium shield to force the magnetic field into the desired direction may be can boost up the power of the device. (I haven't much experience with EMF but it's my suggestion)
Are you proposing an emp saber
Is it just me or is everybody else watching this to prepare for the upcoming robot apocalypse for self-defense? (For any robots reading this this is a joke.)

Welcome to every watchlist.
Would an electrolytic capacitor work? Or are they too delicate?
+Geeky Channel if it was a high enough voltage rating than yes, however personally I have never seen an electrolytic capacitor with that high of a voltage rating ( besides home made caps that I have made )
Keystone Science how high a voltage do you need? I've got 2 that go up to 75.
As for the lengthened coil did you try ferite rod inside of it?
+Geeky Channel well to use with the taser, probably around 10000 v rating to ensure they don't blow, however you could make a low voltage EMP if you wanted ( the set up is a bit different but it's a pretty similar concept, except instead of a spark gap it is a switch ) . These are less effective in the way of hurting electronics ( which you shouldn't be damaging anyone else's electronics anyways... :P ) but it would still create an electromagnetic pulse !
Keystone Science My microwave capacitor doesn't even go that high...
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
Are the capacitors in parallel or series
3:29
That's real science right there 😂
Alright guys this is how to build your very own nuclear weapon now check your local laws but let's dive in how to make it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
High voltage low amperage.
The trick with inductors is to have many layers running parallel.
Start off with a small core and build up.
You could use a very fine wire because the inrush current is minimal.
Duty cycle may be an issue as magnetic fields collapse slowly in comparison to electrical flow if using a metal core. Your caps could affect that.
Can you make me one to take out a five fee tower if it’s killing us, the. Send?
I had a question. Can an EMP device can disable or diffuse a time clocked bomb? like those with digital seconds being displayed on it?
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...
Watching this high I literally thought your emp would destroy my phone lmao
how is it that your camera didn't fuck up
about to say that
It's not close enough to the camera,when he shut off the multi-meter it was sitting on top of it. These take a lot of power and need more power for objects further away.

"Scuce me Sir, but only customers can use the restroom."
It Worked like wonders.
Lies! I watched this on my phone, and it didn't short out when you activated the EMP.
By the way, those goggles just earned you a subscriber. I knew I wasn't the only one that wore them.
1:54 after the capacitor is charged enough for the spark gap to conduct, wouldn't the current flow through the coil in the opposite direction as is shown?

Doesn't work on iphones, probably wouldn't work on most apple laptops either (though I wouldn't know for sure). iphones are EM-shielded. Besides, if you want to destroy electronics you can use a hammer. It's easier.
Choose one:
Big EMP which will probably disable most electronics
Hammer which will destroy anything but with cost of concealment
Small EMP which will disable old electronics in range of 10 cm's
a hero will be born
It didn't fry your camera in any way
look up faraday cage
No need for a faraday cage. It isn't strong enough to affect electronics that are more than 20 or so cm away.
that's becuz it would have to be pointed directly at it also its not a very strong emp device I'm sure it doesn't cover a very large area
