BACKGROUND OF AN E-BOMB

DOES WAR MEANS ONLY KILLING PEOPLE

6TH AUGUST 1945-90000-166000 DIED IN HIROSIMA BY NUCLEAR ATTACK OF AMERICA9TH AUGUST 1945-60000-90000 DIED IN NAGASAKI FOR THE 2ND ATTACK

COUN…

In 1958 test over the Pacific Ocean by America ended up blowing out streetlights hundred miles away in parts of Hawaii. The explosion even disrupted radio equipment in Australia.

The Compton effect was the reason behind this electrical disturbance.

Compton claimed that photons of electromagnetic energy could knock loose electrons from atoms with low atomic numbers.

WHAT IS AN E-BOMB An E-BOMB is an electromagnetic bomb

which is used for defense purposes. It produces a high beam of changing

electromagnetic waves having high frequency.

It can produce 35 MW with a pulse length of 100 to 150 nanoseconds and microwave beam of 2 to 6 GHz range.

COUN… Due to the bombardment of e-bomb it

can destroy the communication system , can cut down the electricity supply from a city and can stop the generator to run.

The explosion at pacific ocean forces the researchers to think about E-BOMB which damage to electrical or electronics equipments not to the human being.

HOW IT WORKS (PRINCIPLE) -

Compton effect and Electromagnetism are the two basic principles.

COUN… The Compton effect (Arthur Holly

Compton,1923 ) is the result of a high-energy photon colliding with a target, which releases loosely bound electrons from the outer shell of the atom or molecule

ELECTROMAGNETISM- Electromagnetism is the branch of

physics that deals with electricity and magnetism and the interaction between them.

The basic law of electromagnetism is known as "Faraday's law of Induction.

It is a process where a conductor placed in a changing magnetic field causes the production of a voltage across the conductor and vice versa also.

TECHNOLOGY BEHIND E-BOMB-

Explosively Pumped Fluxed Compression Generators : Metal cylinder (called the armature), surrounded by a coil of wire (the stator winding). The armature cylinder is filled with high explosive.

COUN… FLUX COMPRESSION GENERATOR(FCG)

is the most important and the fundamental method used for such arsenal.

•The stator winding and the armature cylinder are separated by empty space or insulator. The bomb also has a power source, such as a bank of capacitors, which is connected to the stator.

COUN… Capacitors connects to Stator sets

electrical current through wires Generates Intense Magnetic Field.

Fuse mechanism ignites the explosive material Explosion travels as wave through the middle of the armature cylinder.

COUN…Explosion passes through cylinder

Cylinder comes in contact with stator winding creates a short circuit cuts the stator off from its power supply.

Moving short circuit compresses Magnetic Field generates Intense Electromagnetic burst.

EFFECTS- Vehicle control systems Targeting systems, on the ground,

on missile and bomb. Communication systems Navigation systems Long and short-range sensor

systemsDamage electronics equipment

LIMITATION- A weapon optimized to destroy solid state

computers and receivers may cause little or no damage to a thermionic technology devices.

Radiating targets such as radars or communications equipments may continue to radiate after an attack even though their receiver and data processing systems have been damaged or destroyed.

Means of delivery will limit the lethality of an e-bomb by introducing limits to the weapons size and the accuracy of its delivery.

Patients who are on the ventilation in hospital may lose there life because of no electric power.

PROTECTION/DEFENCE AGAINST E BOMB-Convert computer rooms in to Faraday cages Use optical fibers for data Isolate power feeds with transient arrestors Use non-electrical power feed schemes Use electromagnetic “air lock” Shielding must be comprehensive

COUN…

COUN…

CONCLUSION- E-bombs are weapons of electrical mass

destruction with applications across a broad spectrum of targets, spanning both the strategic and tactical.

E-bombs can paralyze electronic combat, offensive counter air and strategic air attack.

The non-lethal nature of electromagnetic weapons makes their use far less politically damaging than that of conventional munitions, and therefore broadens the range of military options available.

The danger for human life is very less compared to normal weapons.
