Coming Soon -- Microwave Gun That Can Destroy Your Car From 600 Feet Away


A Pasadena, California company has created a device that will destroy a carÂ’
s electrical system and stop it dead in its tracks. Just one pulse from this
beam disables cars up to 50 feet away.

How does it work? One beam pulsed in a burst lasting just 50 nanoseconds
disrupts your vehicle's electrical system. The radiation can overload wires,
or damage or upset your car's central microprocessor.

Their prototype is 5 feet long, 3 feet wide, 1 foot thick, and weighs just
under 200 pounds. With proper funding, it may be possible to create a device
weighing only 50 pounds that works from 600 feet away.

It operates on the same general principle as a microwave oven, but at a 300
megahertz frequency, rather than your standard microwave oven, which
operates at about 2.5 gigahertz. It is said to be non-harmful to humans.

Hmmm, what a great toy to use when the cops are chasing you G.  Id like to 
use it on tailgaters.


Finally a market for all those surplus 4CX250's.

PP 300 MHz oscillators anyone? 2500V unfiltered DC right off a 3 phase xfmr 
driven by the alternator


How much gain is there in a 4' yagi at that frequency?

Gee, a whole new market for pre computer vans as the device would probably 
wipe out any computerized vehicle carrying it.

Probably could drop some people in their tracks if they're driving the

SweeT !

Mine is a 83 Dodge B350 (1 ton), extended wheelbase and extended cab with a 
360, 4bbl, RV cam, and headers. A full 10' tower section goes in with almost 
a foot to spare before it hits the seats.


A previous one was a 85 B250 with the 318. Body and suspension basically 
disentergrated to pure oxide but the engine  trans were still running well 
at 392K. It was also the double extended version.


We have another beater here for local hauling, dump runs, etc. 1978 Ford 
E150 with the 300 sixbanger.


No stinkin' computers, or performance killing sensors.

This is kind of old news. I know when I was in the military my ship, a very 
large aircraft carrier, prior to going to the yards for overhaul, was 
scheduled with an EMP generator. I don't know why it was scrapped but they 
can-X'ed it. I remember seeing what the original plans were. My dept/div. 
was OE. We had control of the ships operational electronics such as radars, 
computers and radio/data communication. If memory serves me, they wanted to 
see how close we could get to a A-bomb EMP event before it rendered all 
electronics useless. On a side note. When that Soviet pilot flew that MIG-25 
to Japan, a lot of the investigators laughed because all the avionics was 
based on electron tube technology. Until one person spoke and stated, Maybe 
they built it like this on purpose. Whereas tubes are substaniantally more 
hardy to an EMP event than solid state. Another fine reason to keep building 
and using hollow state technology;)
