In TV shows such as 24, ALIAS and Jericho there are references to EMP's.  Do they actually exist or is this just science fiction stuff?   

I am kind of reluctant to look online as I already read a fair few political /current affairs sites and I don't really want to spend New Year in a cell  Cheesy.

It is only recently that I have heard this word mentioned on TV shows and wasn't sure if it was real or invented. I know it stands for electro magnetic pulse, but what does this actually do and how could it work they way it is shown on TV.

Electro Magnetic Pulse...

Basically a large surge of electricity which can knock out electrical devices around a certain radius.

The electromagnetic radiation from an explosion (especially a nuclear explosion) or an intensely fluctuating magnetic field caused by Compton-recoil electrons and photoelectrons from photons scattered in the materials of the electronic or explosive device or in a surrounding medium. The resulting electric and magnetic fields may couple with electrical/electronic systems to produce damaging current and voltage surges.

That's a quote from Wikipedia.

I studied them a while back though out of interest. The USAF have created systems that are immune to them.

I didn't actually think of wikipedia.  I am always reluctant to type things like that into google, just incase it looks dodgy. It is like taking out library books on things like this, you never know who may be paying attention and getting the wrong idea.

An EMP weapon is the most efficient weapon in the theatre of war, unfortunately war has changed since it was developed and it holds little use now.

Careful Sark, they may be watching the blonde Forum, too.

Could have been them that kidnapped Nem.

Maybe - here's a thought - Flushy is a "plant".

Or Kev is not really Kev.

Best to log off at night too, in case they steal your Password. They stole Bolt's Passsword & turned him into a normal person.
