    I mean, you can build one yourself, but a real damaging version would require a lot of power.

    Unfortunately due to the inverse square law, they don’t have a very long range.

    I guess a phased array emp would be the best way to do it.

    Not easily done with the DIY hacky way of doing it with a coil and teaser generator, but I’m sure with some decent mosfets and transformers, it should be possible.

      Unfortunately due to the inverse square law, they don’t have a very long range.

      Possibly for the better. Last thing you need is people accidentally hitting a plane with one of them.

      People already do it with lasers. Something that destroys the electronics would be even worse.
