Microwave

Hi guys.

this is not a serious topic.Posting mainly for fun

I was bored (that is how everything starts)
so I was reading something about a new technology that might be used to stop car chases (it can actually be used for a lot more also )
Here is the link :
http://www.wired.com/news/autotech/0,2554,66473,00.html

the idea is to Burn computer chips using Microwave Energy making ur car stop,ur computer...the university computer, the computer at work(to take that long trip vacation),cell phone ..
in on sentence everything that has a chip in it

i completed my quest on microwave weapons.. and i found that you can build a microwave weapons for cheap price at home, here comes the link:
http://globalguerrillas.typepad.com/globalguerrillas/2004/05/journal_homemad.html

i would like to ask the hardware geeks couple of questions :

1- I want ur thoughts on this (not only jokes :P ) [do u think that it is possible or just some articles on the
internet cheap talk and hype . ELABORATE
2-

microwave energy to interfere with microchips inside ur computer. Once the chip is overloaded with
excessive current, the computer ceases to function

is that a possible scenario ... how do u think microwave weapons would work ?
3- Is it detectable? can u immagine the harm that can be done lol, can it operate in normal conditions or just
in labs

So guys.... first i want ur feedback on this first.. w later on the discussion i would ask other questions.
I don't understand lot of hardware stuff.. but i will manage

Yeah i read about this technology like 5 months ago :p in Popular Science

you have EMP bombs, so the theoretically, it does work. but the fact that it's still till today a "secret" weapon, without much known about it (besides how it works) and that there are no official tests or places they have been used on (besides nuclear EMP) show that it's not that simple and obvious to make, so i don't think you'll be able to do one with your microwave.

so i don't think you'll be able to do one with your microwave.

i didn't mean ano using l microwave yaleh bitbokh fi, it is about microwave technology

too bad i won't be roaming the streets any soon with my microwave weapon ! :(

battikh

hehehehehe
ur laughing? i saw tutorials on how to make weapons with your kitchen microwave...

rolf

So, is there any way to stop these microwave radiation? Copper? Gold plates?
Just seing how i want to equip my car.

a faraday cage... but it wont be easy to see threw the window :P
