EMP/Shock Generators
Assembled shock wave generators in choice of 28 vdc or 115
vac. Require emitter antenna for directionality.
Shock wave generators are capable of producing focused acoustic or electromagnetic energy that can break up objects
such as kidney stones and other similar materials. EMP generators can produce pulses of electromagnetic energy that
can destroy the sensitive electronics in computers and microprocessors. Destabilized LCR circuits can produce multi
megawatt pulses by using an explosive wire disruptive switch. These high power pulses can be coupled into antennas,
conic sections, horns etc for very directional effects. Research is currently being undertaken to disable vehicles thus
avoiding dangerous high speed chases. The trick is to generate a high enough power pulse to fry the electronic control
processor modules. This could be a lot simpler if the vehicle was covered in plastic or fiber glass rather than metal. The
shielding of the metal body offers a challenge to the researcher to develope a practical system. A system could be built that
could do this but would be costly, large and could produce collateral damage to friendly targets.
Hazards: The project uses deadly electrical energy that can kill a person instantly if improperly contacted.
High energy system uses exploding wires that can create dangerous shrapnel like effects. Discharge of the
system can severely damage nearby computers and other related equipment.......
Theory: A capacitor (C) is charged from a current source to an energy over a period of time. Once it reaches a
certain voltage corresponding to a certain energy level it is allowed to discharge quickly into a resonant circuit.
A wire now is made to explode disrupting this high peak current thorough the circuit inductance. A powerful
undamped wave is now generated at the natural frequency and associated harmonics of this resonant circuit.
The inductance (L) of the resonant circuit may consists of a coil and associated lead inductance along with the
intrinsic inductance of the capacitor that is around 20 nanohenries. The capacitor of the circuit determines the
energy storage and also has an effect on the resonant frequency of the system.
Radiation of the energy pulse can be made via a conductive conic section or a metal horn like structure.
Some experimenters have used lumped half wave elements center fed by a coil coupled to the coil of the
resonant circuit. This 1/2 wave antenna consists of two 1/4 wave sections tuned to the resonant circuit fre-
quency. These are in the form of coils wound with an approximate length of wire equal to a quarter wave length.
The antenna has two radiation lobes parallel to its length or broadside. Minimum radiation occurs at points
axially located or at its ends. We have not validated this approach!
A gas discharge lamp such as a household fluorescent will flash brightly at a distance from the source indicat-
ing a powerful directional pulse of electromagnetic energy.
A high power radio frequency pulse can be generated where the output of the pulser may also be coupled to a
full size center fed 1/2 wave antenna tuned between 1-1.5 MHz. The actual length at 1 MHz is over 150 meters
(492 feet) and may be to large for many experiments, however is normalized for an efficiency of 1 with all other
schemes being less. The actual elements may be reduced in length by using tuned 1/4 wave sections consist-
ing of 75 meters (246 foot) lengths of wire spaced and wound on 2 to 3 meter pieces of PVC tubing. This
scheme produces a pulse of low frequency energy
Please note that the pulse output of this system will cause damage to computers and any devices using
microprocessors or similar circuitry up to a considerable distance. Always use caution when testing and
using this system as sensitive electronic equipment can be damaged by just being close!!
The following is a description of the strategic parts used in our lab assembled system.
Inductor (Easily made by the experimenter for low frequency radio pulse)
The inductance shown as ( L1 ) is a lumping of all stray connecting leads, spark switch, exploding wire dis-
rupter and the inherent inductance of the capacitor. This inductance resonates at a wide band of frequencies
and must be able to handle the high discharge current pulse ( I ) . The value of the lumped value is around .05
uh. .1 uh. The conductor sizes must take into effect the high pulse current ideally equal to V X (C/L) 1/2 . This
fast current transition wants to flow on the conductor surface due to the high frequency skin effect.
You may use an inductor of several turns for experimenting at the lower frequencies along with a coupled
antenna .Dimension are determined by the air inductance formula: L= (10 x D2 x N2 )/l where D is diameter in
cm, l is length in cm, N is turns. A coil from 3 turns of 10 mm (.375”) copper tubing on a 7.5 cm (3”) diameter
spread out to 15 cm ( 6”). Calculated inductance is close to .3 uh.
You will note that the bottom ball of the spark gap switch is at a high potential and is made adjustable by a
threaded rod and locking jam nut scheme. The top ball also uses a threaded rod that fits into the 3/4” PVC
tubing used for structural support of the wire disruption scheme.
Low inductance extension pieces are shown used to lengthen the capacitor terminals and are fabbed from 1/4”
brass plates with mating holes to the existing block terminals of the capacitor.. The edges are rounded and
smoothed to prevent corona.
This is where the stored energy in the circuit inductance is released as an explosion of electromagnetic energy
of broadband proportions. The released energy is a function of LI^2 where I is the current rise in the spark gap
switch at the moment the wire explodes. The actual power lost in the spark switch is but a fraction of that
emitted in the explosion of the wire. Selection of the wire size must take into consideration electrical circuit
parameters for proper timing for optimum release of energy. We experimented with .1 (4mils) to .3 mm (12 mils)
brass wire about 50 cm in length. The wire is attached by a sandwiching action between two flat brass washes
as shown. Note that a longer wire will tend to produce more of a magnetic pulse while a shorter will produce
more of an electric.
This component is necessary to keep the fast current pulse rise isolated from the charger multiplier diodes that
could be avalanched by the rapid dv/dt. Suggested value is around 2 mh with 3 and .3 uh tertiary coils. The
assembly can be solenoidal close wound for the 2 mh section. Space wind 10 turns for 1” for the 3 uh section
and finally 3 turns spaced over 1” for the .3 uh section. Use #28 magnet wire on a 1 1/2 “x 12” PVC plastic
tube.
R1 Resistor
Intended as a safety providing a high back impedance should a short occur in the output stage of the current
driver. Use approximately 50 to 100 k at least 100 watts
Charger
The charger for the system can be any current limited source with an open circuit voltage in excess of 50 kv. The
charging current rate will determine the amount of time necessary to reach a firing level and need not be that fast for
this experimental system as shown. A single charging cycle produces approx 500 Joules per shot and requires
reloading of the wire for exploding disrupter switch. A 2 ma current source will charge the ..5 mfd capacitor to 50 kv in
approx 5 seconds. This is shown mathematically by t = c v /i (.5)(10e-6)(5*10e3)/.002. This rate is more than ample
and there is no advantage to a higher current system unless you are planning to do a multiple discharge system using
a spark gap driven radiator or wire dispensing scheme.
Our HVOLT10 is an excellent candidate for this section and provides up to 80 kv at 200 microamps.
Our 50KVCC10 is shown as plans in this literature and provides an adjustable 10 to 50 kv at up to 500 microamps.
Both are available completely assembled and ready to use and are shown on front cover page..
Assembly
Our lab pulser is shown constructed using hardware store available materials and parts. The structure uses a
combination of 3/4” schedule 40 PVC tubing for the pillars and flat faced end caps for the retainers. Partitions
are made from non conductive material of structural integrity for the application . We used 3/8” clear acrylic
plate stock. Fig 2 inse shows the scheme we used to attach these sections to the flat faced end caps. The
sections are secured by drilling clearance holes and using plastic tye wraps to keep together. Use of PVC
cement is obviously stronger but prevents disassembly without destroying the support structure.
The pillar and cap assemblies are attached to the partition plates using 1” x 1/4-20 bolts and nuts. The capaci-
tor (C1) is secured to the bottom partition by a cradle assembly fabbed from wood or plastic pieces. This
scheme stabilizes the bottom of the capacitor.
The terminal connections of the capacitor are extended by metal plate sections fabbed as shown. These now
attach to the terminals connecting to the exploding wire cavity section via brass threaded rods sleeved into
pieces of 3/4” PVC pillar tubing.
The bottom spark gap electrode is made adjustable by adjustment of the bottom nut on the extended rod.
You will note the 4 longer pillars are positioned at the corners of the bottom and middle partition plates. The
shorter pillars are positioned at the mid sections of the middle and top partition plates. This layout is shown in
fig 4 top view of middle partition plate.
Application
This system in intended for research into the susceptibility of sensitive electronic equipment to E.M.P. (Electro-
magnetic pulse) The system can be scaled down for portable field use operating on rechargeable batteries. It
can be scaled up to produce kilojoule pulses at the users own risk. No attempt to construct or use this device
should be considered unless thoroughly experienced in the use high pulse energy systems
The electromagnetic energy pulse can be focused or made parallel by use of a parabolic reflector. Experimental
targets can be any sensitive electronic equipment or even a gas discharge lamp.
The acoustical spark energy can produce a sonic shock wave of high sound pressure at the focal length of the
parabolic antenna.

Basic Theory
A resonant LCR circuit consisting of components as in the above figure. Capacitor C1 is charged up from constant
current charger at Ic. The voltage V across C1 is now related to V = It/C. The spark switch (GAP) is set to fire just
before V reaches 100,000 volts. Once fired, a peak current rise of di/dt=V/L occurs. The period of circuit response is
functional of .16 x (LC)^.5. The capacitor now discharges into the circuit inductance in 1/4t with the peak current now
causing the wire to explode and interrupting this current just before it peaks. The inductive energy (LI^2) is released in
an explosive burst of broad band electromagnetic radiation. The peak power is derived via the following and is in
excess of many megawatts!!!!!
1. Charging Cycle: dv=Idt/C (Expresses the voltage charging on the capacitor as a f(t) with I constant current.
2. Storage energy in C as a f(v): E=.5Cv^2 (Expresses energy in JOULES as the voltage increases)
3. Response time 1/4 cycle current peak: 1.57(LC)^.5 (Expresses the time for the first resonant current peaking
when the spark switch fires)
An appreciable pulse of many megawatts in the upper RF energy spectrum can be obtained by destabilizing the LCR
circuit as shown above. The only limiting factor is the intrinsic real resistance that is always present in several
forms.such as leads, skin effect, dielectric and switching losses etc. These losses must be minimized for optimum
results. The RF output can be coupled to a parabolic microwave dish or tuned horn. The Q of the output will depend
to an extent on the geometry of the wire switch. Longer lengths will produce more "B" field characteristics while short
more "E" field. These parameters will enter into the coupling equations regarding the radiation efficiency of the
antenna. Experimenting is the best approach using your math skills only for approximating key parameters. Damage
to circuitry usuallly is the result of very high di/dt (B field) pulse properties. This is point of discussion!!

these transistors are fed out of phase by oscillator/driver I1. Output voltage is adjusted by R3 and R4 that
control the oscillator frequency. The built in leakage reactance of T1 now limits the current as a function
of the frequency. The output of T1 is rectified and multiplied by the combination of high voltage caps and
diodes to over 50 KV See FIG
