I like how they cut out just before the answer to how much ground they could cover...

So.. it fried to car computer? Why didn't they inspect the "damage"??? Maybe it just blew some fuses from long wire induced currents. Did the radio still work. That would have been what they should have kept on, plus they had a wireless mic, and in car camera? Those were still working. How dumb, they are trying to really push this star trek concept on to the masses.

OMG, I almost went into this video to post the same comment.

They didnt need to prove that the radio still worked because the major thing about EMP is that it knocks out radio, and that has been proven already. Yes his radio would probably turned on but like my radio it would have been white noise. EMP radio black out lasts for about as long as it takes for the communications people to replace their radios. EMP is a proven working weapon system, because it happens with the splitting of atoms, so naturally a Nuclear Device will cause black out. The military has to prepare for this, although they cant just detonate a Nuke to prepare for EMP attack.

http://www.fas.org/nuke/intro/nuke/emp.htm This pretty much tells the truth, its not about stopping a car, its more about stopping communications, and radar tracking systems. What we need to be worried about is that the only weapons with enough power to cause a comm black out, or really do any damage to electrical systems is a Nuke, provided the electronics survives the Blast Wave, and the Operators survive the radiation. So, yea this weapon they show is not really practical, because look how big it is? It only effects 50 miles, when a nuke causes blast damage, EMP, and radiation.

50 FOOT radius, not mile. 50 MILE radius would at least be useful.

something like this would only be good for dropping on comm facilities or towers.
