Electromagnetic radiation that blocks the operation of engines
The video (recording of the TV show, about 6 minutes) shows the process of the work of a new high-tech non-lethal weapon developed by Norwegian scientists commissioned by NATO. In a number of science fiction films and books, the protagonist with the help of an "electromagnetic field generator" or something else like that could stop the operation of car engines or airplanes - a similar goal was set before the developers in this case as well.
The meaning of the development is as follows: a powerful beam of electromagnetic radiation can block the work of an automobile engine, a water scooter, a drone, a terrorist transmitter at a considerable distance: in other words, all devices whose operation depends in one way or another on electronic components. At the same time, as you can understand, the radiator is freely installed in the car, the size of an ordinary SUV, and does not look cumbersome due to the abundance of batteries or some other power source, as one would assume. As it happens with military developments, technical details are not reported - they just offer to see how it works. The video shows that the journalist, being behind the wheel of a passenger car, stops smoothly (probably, knowing all the same what will happen) in front of another car, which is the source of the electromagnetic blocking beam. And from the further words of the scientist - Dr. Ernst Krogager (Ernst Krogager) - one can understand that the principle of operation of the device is obviously connected with the car ignition system.
A little further it is shown that the development is capable of working at a considerable distance and, probably, selectively. In the video you can see how the engine of a water scooter is blocked from a car installed on the shore of the lake (although it’s still impossible to estimate the distance). ')
