Its called PPK - Ressurection.

Im really trying to think (its late here and i was inhaling helium ballons at a party...dont ask ) but what does EMP stand for? And is it similar to the devices put in aircraft (like F4-G and E6 Prowler) to eletrically jam and mainly jams radar?

Electro magnetic pulse I think?

Electro Magnetic Pulse is correct.

Basicly a magnetic pulse (as oposed to a field) induces current in wires (or anything metal... basicly) as it passes through it protional to the the rate of change of the field and stuff to do with the material.

What happens is these current (and ascosiated (sp) voltages) can fry the equipment by e.g. reverse biasing any diodes or polarity sensitive capacitors, or even simply overvoltaging or currenting given components (actually overheating basicly).

Think electrostatics might come into it too.

Oh, so it works the same way as if you put a desk fan next to a pc monitor/tv. The magnets inside the motor make the screen shake.
