Exactly why mychopper runs on points and condensor even an EMP cantkillit.....thats a scary thought though...new superweaopns!!

And yesto your question about cars...most modern vehicles computerised ignition systems are sensitive to electrical interference...whereas older contact breaker type ignitions(google,its a long story) arent affected as they are mechanically controlled ignitions

I read the whole article and the story did not have any info backing up the claims..................

I need to see more to come to a conclusion..............

Thanks for the read. but it seemed a little fictional.

I actually heard about this technology in the '90, being put in cars and cell phones and the hype, at the time, was about controlling traffic and communication during a SHTF scenerio. But hearing it being used because some high up is coming to town.....WOW!

Can't be an EMP like weapon since it sends a massive amount electricity through the circuits and fries them for good.

The only possible explanation would be some sort of resonance wave that disrupts/stops electricity from flowing. So kind of like water pipes that have been frozen. Though if they have that kind of weapon...

Before its News is not news, its the Enquirer of the web.
(One of them anyway) Careful what you regard from them as well.

It's not an EMP, which would literally brick every phone in range permanently. They wouldn't even turn on...ever again. Nor would anything else using solid state electronics of any kind. It's just a broadband frequency jammer, although using it for this purpose is interesting. Some of the Humvees and MRAP's in Iraq/Afghanistan have similar units that are used to trip remote detonated IED's from a distance.

No..I don't memorize all this for endless fountains of trivia. I just happened to be looking these up yesterday, as it so happens. Curiosity got the better of me for how..if I were so inclined....one would go about jamming all police communications within a short range in and around an OWS camp. It would be fitting for cops to learn what Mike Check is really all about...by having to do it themselves.

Anyway.. don't get ideas... It's good for 2-8 years in the federal pen for turning such a jammer on at all, let alone actually deploying some against Emergency Services. It led me to reading about the jammers tho...and they are nifty little toys if someone has access to one.

i agree emp is a permanent knockout for electronics, not temporary. so i would say some sort of jammer, or major rf noise generator.

i will tell an old shop story. there was a guy who bought a new car. the customer kept bringing it back claiming it would stall out on the way to work. yet every time it was looked at they could not find any problems. the service manager getting tired of this as well as the customer getting more and more upset decided that the only way to deal with it was to drive into work with the customer so he could see what was causing the problem or if the customer was lying. so next morning the service manager went to the customer's house and they started to drive to the customer's work. the manager told him to do everything the way he had been, just in case he was inadvertently causing the issue. so the customer started the car, turned on the lights and started to drive. all was fine until he turned on the radio and the car started to run badly and then died. after replacing the radio and some engine electronics the car was fine. apparently the radio was giving out a lot of electrical rf "noise" that was interfering with the engine electronics. mechanic friends and i have laughed about this story for years. but hey if the friggen radio can cause cars not to run, it can't be that difficult to make something to have the same effect for use in a larger area.

I'm not to concerned about the dang Spaniards!

Untrue. A powerful EMP can still fry your ignition coil.

The only true defense is a diesel engine with a mechanical crank start (or push start works as well). There are no electrical components whatsoever needed for this engine to run.
