Electronics Destroyer

Imagine that you have a device that can destroy any electronics from a distance. Agree, it looks like the script of some science fiction film. But this is not fantasy, but quite reality. Almost anyone can make such a device with their own hands, from parts that can be freely obtained.

Device Description

An electronics destroyer is an electromagnetic gun that sends powerful directed electromagnetic pulses of high amplitude that can damage microprocessor equipment.

The principle of operation of the shredder

The principle of operation is vaguely reminiscent of the operation of a Tesla transformer and a stun gun. The battery powers an electronic high-voltage boost converter. The load of the high-voltage converter is a series circuit of a coil and a spark gap. As soon as the voltage reaches the breakdown level of the spark gap, a discharge occurs. This discharge makes it possible to transfer all the energy of the high-voltage pulse to a coil of wire. This coil converts the high voltage pulse into a high amplitude electromagnetic pulse.The cycle is repeated several hundred times per second and depends on the operating frequency of the converter.

Device diagram

One switch will be used as a spark gap - it will not need to be pressed. And the other is for switching.

What is needed for assembly?

- 3.7 V batteries – aliexpress
- Frame - aliexpress
- High voltage converter – aliexpress
- Two switches – aliexpress
- Super glue.
- Hot glue.

Assembly

We take the case and drill holes for the switches. One from the bottom, the other from the top. Now we make the coil. We wind around the perimeter of the body. We fix the coils with hot glue. Each turn is separated from each other. The coil consists of 5 turns. We assemble everything according to the diagram, solder the elements. We insert an insulating gasket between the contacts of the high-voltage switch so that the spark is inside and not outside. We secure all the parts inside the case and close the case cover.

Safety requirements

Be especially careful - very high voltage! Perform all manipulations with the circuit only after turning off the power source.
Do not use this electromagnetic shredder near medical equipment or other equipment on which human life may depend.

The result of the magnetic gun

The gun famously knocks out almost all the chips, of course there are exceptions. If you have unnecessary electronic devices, you can check the operation on them. The electronics destroyer is very small in size and fits easily into your pocket.
Check with an oscilloscope. Keeping the probes at a distance and not connecting, the oscilloscope simply goes off scale.

Tests

We disable the flashing Light-emitting diode with built-in controller.


We break the microwave oven.
