@histoire3 no no that’s fucking garbage

@silas@noauthority.social

Cope roundie

@histoire3 @silas yeah. I mean, I live in Europe myself and being an engineer I can see how round logs are just better durability-wise. But then, considering how many standards we have in Europe.... Ya know... 🤣
BTW, I recently replaced all my sockets with UNEL ones - they cover most of the plugs

@cjd @silas @ThatCrazyDude @histoire3 haarp?

@cjd @bonifartius @silas @histoire3 HARP - need even longer barrel and more propellant lol

IDK what that is but I'll take 2

@cjd @silas @ThatCrazyDude @histoire3 while we're at exploding things, we all need explosively compressed magnetic flux generators

Isn't that how EMPs work? They charge a coil and then fire a magnet through it using a shotgun shell?

@cjd @bonifartius @silas @histoire3 nah, not quite. You're probably thinking about a gauss gun where you use a solenoid to accelerate a slug but that's pretty much proven to be just a cool toy by now. These days they use rail guns for that. Similar principle, but you can get way more power trough that. And EMP devices are totally different things - no projectiles there whatsoever, just the electromagnetic pulse that fries electronics and shiet

@ThatCrazyDude @cjd @silas @histoire3 the explosive compressed flux generators can be used for emp, you compress the magnetic field lines to generate high currents. it's effectively a coil with explosives, shorting out windings from one end to the other

@bonifartius @cjd @silas @histoire3 I suppose you're right, but there are easier ways of generating pretty darn devastating EMP. All you need is a strong enough current source and piece a wire to short it. The moment the wire evaporates you get a super high amplitude square wave, because ya know, the cutoff, and you're frying what's unshielded and in the range.
