This article is about the general weapons effect. For other uses, see the more specific topic (for example, Electromagnetic forming)
An electromagnetic pulse (commonly abbreviated EMP) is a burst of electromagnetic radiation. The abrupt pulse of electromagnetic radiation usually results from certain types of high energy explosions, especially a nuclear explosion, or from a suddenly fluctuating magnetic field. The resulting rapidly-changing electric fieldsand magnetic fields may couple with electrical/electronic systems to produce damaging current and voltage surges.
In military terminology, a nuclear warhead detonated hundreds of kilometers above the Earth's surface is known as a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) device. Effects of a HEMP device depend on a very large number of factors, including the altitude of the detonation, energy yield, gamma ray output, interactions with the Earth's magnetic field, and electromagnetic shielding of targets.
'Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb', commonly known as 'Dr. Strangelove', is a 1964 black comedy film which satirizes the nuclear scare. It was directed, produced, and co-written by Stanley Kubrick, starring Peter Sellers and George C. Scott, and featuring Sterling Hayden, Keenan Wynn, and Slim Pickens. The film is loosely based on Peter George's Cold War thriller novel 'Red Alert', also known as 'Two Hours to Doom'.

In the face of such complex problems, it is difficult to see where the capacity lies to address these challenges.” Political processes seem wholly inadequate; the potential for nuclear weapons use in regional conflicts in the Middle East, Northeast Asia, and South Asia are alarming; .." ...source: Doomsday Clock http://www.thebulletin.org/content/doomsday-clock/overview

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading what you all have to say. From www.gifts2japan.com
