EMP is actually very scary!
Recently while traveling I talked with someone about EMP. They had seen it in a TV show and though it was more or less like what was in the TV show. In the TV show the bad guys had a gadget (weapon actually) that could send out EMP waves and turn off electricity. When the … Continue reading EMP is actually very scary!
