theres a place in england just like this near Windsor i cant remember where ill dig up the thread out of my old car website thats now dead
but it did this with crap car alarms,
Now my theory
is that its not a electrical interference or anything like that nor is it a jammer what it is, is just that there are other devices occupying that frequency and therefore acts like a jammer, think of it like using a remote control car on one frequency then i come along and use the same frequency from another remote.
its going to interfere with it. so there in NYC must just be so many items and channels flowing around and doing the same effect. cars use this type of system to activate alarms using a certain frequency i reckon its just certain types of cars with a certain alarm running on a certain frequency. and it doesn't matter if the alarm excepts a different code to what is flowing in that frequency, depending on the frequency it can flow in various different tones therefore and change in the spikes will act like a code to the receiver and make the immobilizer cut in.
reason u cant get back in is the unlocking requires 4 spikes of the exact frequency to activate or unlock it(I THINK)
now i could be totally wrong. but thats what i believe is doing it as same as the one in Windsor move it out of the area where the signal goes and car will unlock and start
unlike what games make you believe, there is no "EMP" bomb. EMPs are caused by nuclear explosions, thus somebody would have to detonate a nuke in, or in the stratosphere above NYC...
A widespread all-frequency encompassing and really devastating EMP would come from a nuke, yes. But who cares about the EMP when there's a nuclear explosion at hand? However, specialized frequency EMP generators don't require something as drastic - the only "hindrance" (if used as a weapon) is that you have to focus on specific frequencies (however, again as a weapon because of that it can be kind of accurate). I believe the aeronautic industry uses such contraptions to test an aircraft's resilience to electromagnetic disturbances.
Hehe, as above said, if theres a nuke explosion, I don`t think the EMP would be the problem. However, there are EMP boms, but they are no near as powerfull as they are shown in movies and games. As wikipedia tells it : "can disable some of the electronic systems", so saying theres no EMP bomb is wrong, but it`s not really a total devestation thing eighter.
Well, I meant a large scale EMP bomb that would cause a total failure of all electric devices... I am aware of the fact that you can cause EMPs by other means, but as far as I know, they are not really feasable for a terrorist attack to paralyze a whole city
And it was my intention to subtly point out that the EMP effect of a nuclear strike is probably the least thing to worry about.
Depends, I'd want to be able to chill to music for those last few seconds before the heat burned me alive and the shock wave turned me to dust. The EMP would piss me off.
Not true. You can build an EMP weapon large enough to take out an entire city-block for under $200. A bigger one could be built - thought it would be more expensive and difficult to transport. A nuke DOES create a very powerful EMP, but that is not at all the only way to create one. An EMP weapon is essentially a bomb with an electrified coil around it. It is not at all complicated. Look it up!
if you need something of the size of this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wi ... _command_post_EMP_sim.jpg to EMP a 747, I highly doubt you can disable the electrics of a whole block for 200 bucks... but feel free to post a link to your sources.
That's because they are 'EMP-ing' Air Force One, which needs to be able to withstand the force 17 nuclear explosions, three missiles and the impact of 55 fully-fueled small aircraft all blowing up within 10 feet.
Do your research before you make claims based on your intuition - cause apparently you don't know too much on the subject. This was the topic of my High-School project/paper.
You might want to check your definition of "evidence", as I didn't see evidence in that link, but speculation. And I highly doubt that a FCG could cause enough output to pose a thread to anything larger than a single building.
