EMP also known as electromagnetic pulse, is simply a burst of electromagnetic energy which can be produced by both natural causes, such as a solar flare, and by man-made mechanisms or weapons. EMP is a Great threat to modern world and studies and research are going with this hot issue, in whole world. Electromagnetic pulses are very capable of destroying many electric devices that is not specially shielded against such a burst of energy. Anything which has IC is vulnerable to EMP. In future days, any one can say undoubtedly that the evil causes and effects of EMP may affect even a small city. In the 21st century technologically driven world where all travelling at the speed of light but imagine a state when all this progress on electrical circuitry comes to an irreversible standstill…This is what an EMP attack is capable of inflicting. EMP or Electro Magnetic Pulse attacking device is a weapon designed to detonate high above the earth’s atmosphere, releasing huge amount of energy some of which is in the form of gamma rays -rays with million volts of energy. These rays collide with the atmosphere hitting the oxygen and hydrogen molecules and knocking off electrons to create high voltage electric current in space. This current move down to the earth, surface with an intense power and fractures the electrical circuits sending the heavily wired world into darkness, with no harm to people – they will not even feel a thing.
With an EMP attack, everything with microelectronics or any device which has IC in it would stop, power grids would collapse, generators would go useless, bank computer will stop working, cars would not run, electronics/electricity will go dead and in seconds after the explosion, the EMP attack will cripple the military and would send the area of impact into utter darkness – that will take you 200 years back.
Now, apart from the above aerial threat for which advanced technology is required, anti-social elements could use a less expensive, high tech weapon to create almost the same destructive power with an improvised explosively charged Flux Compression Generator (FCG). An assembled Flux Compression Generator and associated vircator can generate an explosive device having a power of nearly that of a nuclear explosion. Imagine this weapon is carried inside the Boot of a standard car and made it to explode. At a strategic location and how much damage it could cause to the community living nearby. How much is the devastating effect if it is exploded in an area surrounded by the modern IT hubs, telecommunication centres, strategic defence areas, airports, parliament/legislative assembly buildings, police headquarters, hospitals and all other places where the modern electronic chips and transistors are placed.
This will result in the destruction of all electronic/electrical devices, electronic data, medical instruments etc…. This could be easily carried by a person with easily available components in the market and it can produce pulses in the millions of amperes and tens of terawatts.
Commercial computer equipment is particularly vulnerable to EMP effects, as it is largely built up of high density Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) devices, which are very sensitive to exposure to high voltage transients. What is significant about MOS devices is that very little energy is required to permanently wound or destroy them, any voltage in typically in excess of tens of Volts can produce an effect termed gate breakdown which effectively destroys the device. Even if the pulse is not powerful enough to produce thermal damage, the power supply in the equipment will readily supply enough energy to complete the destructive process. Wounded devices may still function, but their reliability will be seriously impaired. Shielding electronics by equipment chassis provides only limited protection, as any cables running in and out of the equipment will behave very much like antennae, in effect guiding the high voltage transients into the equipment. Computers used in data processing systems, communications systems, displays, industrial control applications, including road and rail signalling, and those embedded in military equipment, such as signal processors, electronic flight controls and digital engine control systems, are all potentially vulnerable to the EMP effect. Other electronic devices and electrical equipment may also be destroyed by the EMP effect. Telecommunications equipment can be highly vulnerable, due to the presence of lengthy copper cables between devices. Receivers of all varieties are particularly sensitive to EMP, as the highly sensitive miniature high frequency transistors and diodes in such equipment are easily destroyed by exposure to high voltage electrical transients. Therefore, radar and electronic warfare equipment, satellite, microwave, UHF, VHF, HF and low band communications equipment and television equipment are all potentially vulnerable to the EMP effect.
It is significant that modern military platforms are densely packed with electronic equipment, and unless these platforms are well hardened, an EMP device can substantially damage their function or render them unusable. Now we – Mars Engineering, have come up with a unique protective system to safe guard our important buildings and data. Our protective system is so simple and user friendly and very very cost effective. Such a system is never introduced anywhere in the world commercially and we shall offer a very very attractive package to implement our protective system anywhere in the world. Our system will also protect these areas from REMOTE CONTROL EXPLODING DEVICES and MOBILE CONTROLLED EXPLODING DEVICES as these waves will blocked by our protective system. In the West, Tiger Eurocopter R and strategic defence initiative buildings of US have been given high temperature non-oxidising electrically conductive semiconductor Sintered Europium, Terbium Doped Lanthanum Gallium Tantalate based semiconductor for protection against EMP exceeding 100 G. Jules (thickness of plaster correspondingly increases for higher power of GMP). Single Crystal
Thin Layer Sintered Europium, Terbium Doped Lanthanum Gallium Tantalate is the best semiconductor known which can with-stand temperature exceeding 2200 Deg. C. without oxidation. The EMP when strikes this coating the energy is dissipated in the form of localised heat energy thus protecting all the semiconductor based electronic devices. Essentially, we sacrifice the other semi conducting layer to that of inner one. We are giving the same high temperature non-oxidising Single Crystal Thin Layer Sintered Europium Terbium Doped Lanthanum Gallium Tantalate which is the standard material used in the West in the form of plaster/coating/bricks, sintered tiles etc.
We at Mars Engineering have achieved the ultimate commercial viability of single crystal thin films of LGT (Lanthanum Gallium Tantalum). The standard raw materials of oxides/nitrates of Single Crystal Thin Layer Europium Terbium Lanthanum Gallium Tantalum is zone refined to get + 99.99999% purity. The oxides/nitrates are then mixed and fired at sufficient temperature to get the desired doped face. The doped oxides are then developed into very thin single crystal of LGT (Lanthanum Gallium Tantalum) in large tanks, with alkoxides as precursors. The product is cut and the arranged in the shape desired to fit into the structure where EMP protection is desired.
