Talk:Electromagnetic bomb

message: The article has been expanded, and I love all the new info, but much of the text is just copied and pasted from outside websites.  This needs to be changed ASAP, or else a  will have to be put up on the page.  - Eric Herboso  22:01, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Possible copyvio

message: Added reference to Spooks series 6, episode 1. Here, armoured Landrovers don't seem to function as Faraday cages in the face of roadside electromagnetic attacks...

message: Since we are directed here from the EMP site and it states that to see damage from an EMP go here, maybe this is the place to list all the results to a developed nation if an EMP explodes above it.  For example, our communications and transportation systems would fail, but would cars be affected.  The setting off of an EMP above the US would take us back to the 1800s before electricity.  No mail, no work, no food, no refridgeration, no heat, no gasoline for cars, no airlines, etc.  Great place for this discussion, but it needs to be accurately done.

thread_title: Social effects

message: I read the article on Electromagnetic Pulse and a large focus of that article is on emp weaponry.  Since this article is a stub, and e-bombs are a type of EMP weapon, I suggest this article be merged with that one.  I might do it after I get sufficient feedback.  Thanks. --Pyg 02:16, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would rather see the weaponery portion of EMP be merged into this article and leave EMP to the physics & theory behind it.  Cburnett 04:35, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

text: I think the EMP article should be improved so that it is not just about weaponry.  Do not merge.  CaptainJ (t | c | e) 15:08, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The difficulty there is that EMP is primarily a weapon effect, and there's very little to discuss in the main article outside of its use as a weapon. It's like expecting an article about tasers not to focus on applying electricity to a living body. 205.175.225.22 (talk) 19:45, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

text: Would it be better if the EMP page mentioned more of the non-weaponized versions of EMP?  I believe there is a related effect from lightning bolts, for example. Sociotard (talk) 19:46, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge? 

message: :Some makeshift Faraday cages have been suggested, such as aluminium foil, although such a cage would be rendered useless if any conductors passed through, such as power cords or antennas.
I find this affirmation rather dubious because the electromagnetic bombs affect mostly miniaturized electronic circuits, which have wires small enough to be burnt by the additional electricity from induction. It is highly unlikely that a powercord would get enough power from induction to destroy the electronic equipment. bogdan (talk) 19:39, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rendering Faraday cages useless because of the conductors 

message: According to a military report that I was reading, HEMP stands for High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse, not High Frequency Electromagnetic Pulse. Can someone fix this?
If you have any more reports on EMP or E-Bombs, let me know on my talk page, I'm interested in the subject.

thread_title:  HEMP - Not high frequency 

message: So...  there are NO scientists that think this threat might be a bit overblown or anything?  A whole lot of hype in this article without any balance from skeptics, etc.
Articles like this make me embarrassed for wikipedia. Cowicide (talk) 21:33, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
