RADIO GUN
Leave a comment
Washington. - Everything you need to create a device in the home environment that can at a distance of disabling computers, automobiles, medical equipment, and virtually any other devices that use electronics, can be purchased in the usual hardware store. So says an engineer from California, demonstrated on Wednesday held a conference here InfowarCon'99 improvised beam "protivokompyuternoe gun."
Former engineer of the Navy, David Schreiner (David Schriner) brought its cumbersome installation, consisting of a parabolic reflector, horn-shaped antenna and the two automotive ignition coils, two PC, is at a distance of about 6 m. When the assistant has included a creation of inventive genius named Ruba Goldberg , connecting it to the car battery, the conference hall was filled with a loud buzzing siren, and PowerPoint presentation on a projector screen blinked and fell apart. After switching off the installation the two computers do not respond to commands.
Shooting radio waves
The devastating effects of high-energy radio waves (High Energy Radio Frequency, HERF) on electronics is well known, and engineers have long expressed concern that the hostile states may include in their arsenals protivokompyuternye gun. Protecting Electronics military aircraft can withstand electromagnetic pulse generated by a nuclear explosion. But the atomic bomb specifically designed for this purpose, according to Schreiner, can bring down all the electronics on the East Coast. The demonstration was to draw attention to the fact that even a tiny budget by terrorists to create a dangerous power electronic weapon. "All the components we bought yesterday at the store Wal-Mart», - said Schreiner.
Radio-gun uses technology dating back to the time of Tesla, essentially creating the antenna 20-megawatt burst of indiscriminate radio noise. This is enough energy to cause in sensitive components of nearby computers interference, leading to unpredictable effects, ranging from minor deviations in the work and ending with complete failure. Schreiner Who builds a more powerful gun, capable of demolishing computers and turn off your car engine in a radius of 30 m. The costs of its production amount to only $ 300.
After the computer restarts, participated in today's demonstration, worked fine: According to Schreiner, failure usually occurs forever. But how long it takes to reboot, if this happens to your computer or a medical device for the tank? .. In such cases, it becomes a deadly weapon.
The organizer of the conference and the author of the idea of an information war, Winn Schwartau (Winn Schwartau) said that the demonstration held on Wednesday confirms the existence of the threat, which he warned Congress in 1991.
