The military has to be working on a "gun" that can fire an EMP burst without harming itself. I just subscribed to Gemini Advanced and am on a kick. Here's what AI has to say: Q: Does an EMP 'gun' exist that can fire an EMP burst without harming itself? A: The feasibility of a true EMP "gun" poses some challenges and depends on how you define the concept: Traditional EMP Weapons
The idea of a portable EMP device is often found in fiction, offering a seemingly non-lethal way to disable technology. However, reality tends to be more complex:

Just the basic stuff in Google Photos. The auto settings obviously washed it out dramatically - it seems to struggle with a dark photo with one bright spot. I upped the contrast and virtual HDR and lowered the brightness.

Musk's Optimus humanoid robot isn't that far behind anything Boston Dynamics is building. This kind of product isn't like social media. There can be several big players all selling essentially the same kind of thing....humanoind robots. |

Maybe this time.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/techn...8&sc=shoreline NASA veteran’s propellantless propulsion drive defies laws of physics Dr. Charles Buhler, a seasoned NASA engineer and co-founder of Exodus Propulsion Technologies, claims his company’s propellantless propulsion drive defies the laws of physics. The NASA veteran states the propulsion drive is capable of generating enough thrust to counteract Earth’s gravity without expelling mass. It’s a bold claim, and this may end up being filed alongside similar controversial concepts like the propellant-free EmDrive. However, Buhler’s history as NASA’s subject matter expert on electrostatics has forced people to take note............... More at the link.. |

That's really interesting. If it works, I wonder how much power it requires. Do you have to keep feeding energy into the electrostatic fields, or is it like magnetic energy where it's a constant force without input? |
