Imagine that you have a device that can destroy any electronics from a distance. Agree, it looks like the script of some science fiction film. But this is not fantasy, but quite reality. Almost anyone can make such a device with their own hands, from parts that can be freely obtained.
Electronics Destroyer - Electromagnetic Gun

Device Description


An electronics destroyer is an electromagnetic gun that sends powerful directed electromagnetic pulses of high amplitude that can damage microprocessor equipment.

The principle of operation of the shredder


The principle of operation is vaguely reminiscent of the operation of a Tesla transformer and a stun gun. The battery powers an electronic high-voltage boost converter. The load of the high-voltage converter is a series circuit of a coil and a spark gap. As soon as the voltage reaches the breakdown level of the spark gap, a discharge occurs. This discharge makes it possible to transfer all the energy of the high-voltage pulse to a coil of wire. This coil converts the high voltage pulse into a high amplitude electromagnetic pulse.The cycle is repeated several hundred times per second and depends on the operating frequency of the converter.

Device diagram


One switch will be used as a spark gap - it will not need to be pressed. And the other is for switching.

Assembly


We take the case and drill holes for the switches. One from the bottom, the other from the top. Now we make the coil. We wind around the perimeter of the body. We fix the coils with hot glue. Each turn is separated from each other. The coil consists of 5 turns. We assemble everything according to the diagram, solder the elements. We insert an insulating gasket between the contacts of the high-voltage switch so that the spark is inside and not outside. We secure all the parts inside the case and close the case cover.

Safety requirements


Be especially careful - very high voltage! Perform all manipulations with the circuit only after turning off the power source.
Do not use this electromagnetic shredder near medical equipment or other equipment on which human life may depend.

The result of the magnetic gun


The gun famously knocks out almost all the chips, of course there are exceptions. If you have unnecessary electronic devices, you can check the operation on them. The electronics destroyer is very small in size and fits easily into your pocket.
Check with an oscilloscope. Keeping the probes at a distance and not connecting, the oscilloscope simply goes off scale.

Tests


We disable the flashing Light-emitting diode with built-in controller.

    What is the output voltage of the coil? 1000 kV or 400 kV?

    A piezo lighter for a gas stove will do just as well and you don’t need to invent anything.

    When they checked the microwave, the camera they were filming on was visible in the reflection....
    QUESTION!

    Well the camera didn't turn off ;)

    I remember an old joke:
    Professor, I am a universal solvent.
    You're lying, my friend.
    ??? Why
    What do you store it in?

    Games with a quality player are a bad idea; they also have a detrimental effect on the body.

    He laughed. They made it all the better. The chips are knocked out, but the oscilloscope works, although there is a sensitive amplifier at the input, as well as a working camera. In general, if you poke electronic elements with a shocker, you will also get the same effect.

    What if the voltage is increased to thousands of volts, for example. And adjust the radioelements to such power. Well, it would be possible to put the entire area out of action. Maybe, of course, not the area. But within a radius of fifty meters it should definitely work

      there are already thousands of volts
