He is handed a large box containing the body of a newly killed dog, still bleeding profusely. As the blood seeps out, he is told, "Inside this box is a wounded comrade. Take...
Like electrical current pulsing through a wire, the stream of electrons produces a rapidly expanding electromagnetic field-the EMP. Just as a moving magnetic field induces currents in the wires of a generator, the expanding EMP produces powerful currents in any electrical conductor it crosses. At considerable distances from the blast, these induced currents are strong enough to blow fuses or melt wiring and other metallic components in ground installations and aircraft. They would probably have the same effect on a missile's guidance and firing systems...
