Simplified version: 1. Build large scale capacitors (Leyden Jars). 2. Wire them in parallel. 3. Connect them to a switch, and an inductor. 4. Shield all electrical equipment you don't want damaged. 5. Hit the switch. When the circuit is closed, the current will run threw the inductor, inducing a great magnetic field. This field will be so large, that it will induce current on the wires of electronic devices thus frying electronic components. I may have missed a few steps, but that is the basic idea. Have fun! ~Alejandro
