Electromagnetic pulse: Difference between revisions

** Blaster uses an EMP gun. It blows up normal electronics but Transformers, being more resilient, only suffer from seriously impaired movement coordination (still very painful if you happen to be in jet form at the time).

* In ''[[Small Soldiers]]'', the kid blows up a power transformer in the back yard. This generates an EMP that fries the circuitry of all the evil toys. The good toys are shielded by a downed satellite dish, somehow.

** Assuming that such a device could be built, the rapid restoration of power is a [[Artistic License Physics]]/[[Artistic License Engineering]] double-header. Not to mention the additional affects that would certainly kill people given the loss of power would also affect anything with an engine and anyone on any kind of life support.

*** Circuit breakers, surge protectors?

* Also in the US [[Made for TV Movie]] nuclear holocaust drama [[The Day After]].

* [[Jericho]]

* In the first season of ''[[Heroes (TV)|Heroes]]'', {{spoiler|HRG got Nuclear Ted to emit an EMP instead of his normal nukes in order to shut out the power at Primatech so they could escape.}}

* In ''[[Dark Angel]]'' the United States is a third world country because of a terrorist EMP attack.
