EMP

Electromagnetic pulse – generator


The electromagnetic pulse is a radiation surge that couples with electrical and electronic circuits and cause damage to the current and voltage of a device due to the resulting impact on both electric and magnetic fields.

In the earliest days of nuclear testing, the effects of the EMP are studied. In the year 1945, during the US operation starfish (by US military), the detonated nuclear bomb above 250 miles from the earth surface over the Pacific Ocean has discharged a electromagnetic radiation which effected Hawaii which is located 1445 km away. This explains the effect of the EMP on the power grid and all electrical and electronic appliances. The latter was nuclear electromagnetic pulse (NEMP). But at present each capable country has begun to include non-NEMP devices into its weapon arsenal.

After the US operation star-fish , Russia has also detonated a nuclear bomb over Kazakhstan which completely disrupted the power grid of the country which resulted in blackout of the country for weeks.

These detonations lead to the study of the EMP further and they lead to the invention of the non-EMP weapons, which are used to disrupt the enemy signal systems.

This weapons are used by USA in Iraq to capture Saddam-Hussein and they also used them in Afghanistan. 

Non- NEMP is a weapon generated EMP which is created without using a nuclear technology. This has gained a high importance in the military. They can be used to disrupt the enemy signal operating systems, radars and other security systems. With the security systems being crippled, the enemy cannot actually locate the troop’s incoming and they will be taken by surprise.

Snap-lock , Snaphance and flintlock

Snap-lock, Snaphance and Flintlock These three fire arms work under same mechanism. The difference is the protective measures development  in each of the fire arms. The order of the fire arms is snaplock snaphance flintlock percussion cap Mechanism: The operation works on the old concept of fire sparks ( when two rocks are rubbed against each other the friction between them causes a spark and eventually fire when the sparks are in contact with a dry grass or to be more precise, a conductor which ignites under a slight high temperature). The firearm consists of a flint material and a steel plate placed against each other. When the flint is held with a spring, potential energy is stored in the spring. When the trigger is released the potential energy is transferred to the clamped flint and the clamp moves forward and strikes the hardened steel producing sparks. These sparks flash pan travels through the touch hole and ignites the gun powder and boom. ...

History of firearms

Pistol/Guns/Fire arms 1       history All about the pistols, hand guns had begun in early 12 th century in China. There took the birth of the firearm named hand cannon in 1200 and from there the knowledge has spread throughout the world. It is believed that the gun powder technology has spread to the west through Silk Road. Europe and Arabs have been using them in 14 th century, and japan has started mass producing them in 1543, but they know about the gun powder in the beforehand. After the gun powder was invented by China the advanced firearm was introduced by Portuguese in 15 th century. These were used until 1720 when they were replaced by flintlocks. The evolution of firearms is shown below: Hand cannons (14 th century) Hand locks- hand gonne (15 th century) Match lock Wheel lock (15 th century) Snap lock Snaphance (1550) Dog lock (17 th century) Flintlock (17 th century ) Percussion cap...

Match lock

Match lock: Now that we have reduced the cannon balls or projectiles and made them into a compact size, the barrels used for the projectiles are also small. The force that must be applied for the projectile must be enough that it penetrates the enemy. The guns which are used in the early 14th century have used match lock technology. match lock nothing a defined technology. It works on the same concept of the cannons. But he thing is it is lit by a fire using a combustible substance. The gun has a barrel in which the projectile is placed and pushed tightly towards the gun powder. this gun powder is lit by a dry thread/wick which has its extension into the chamber in which the gun powder is filled. As soon as the power is ignited, it creates a blast and throws the projectile toward the target. These match locks were remained in the use until 17th century. These matchlocks had a great disadvantage- They take time to lit the wick and even when the wick is lit it takes ...
