This is a easy, portable and cheap DIY project to make a electromagnetic pulse (EMP).

Follow the few steps and you got yourself your own EMP to disable or destroy electronic devices (this EMP is only strong enough to destroy a calculator).

Step 1: Schematic

I made a easy to follow schematic of the device.

basicly it`s just a coil thats connected to the capacitor whit a switch on the positive wire.

I used a DPDT switch to arm and fire it. If I turn the switch to the right than it charges the capacitor, in the middle it´s off and to the left than the voltage goes to the coil.

Step 2: Parts & Tools

For this project you only need 4 parts (thats what I used)

- DPDT switch, I would recommend using a plastic switch so you won't get a nasty shock.

- Thick isolated copper wire.

- Disposable camera.

- Some wires

Tools:

- Soldering iron.

- Soldering tind.

- Desoldreing pump.

- Tape.

- Toilet paper roll.

- Cutter plier.

Step 3: The Coile

Making the coil:

Make a small hole on the top of the toilet paper roll and stick the wire thru the hole like shown in the picture.

Take the copper wire around the roll 7 times.

Slide the copper wire off the toilet paper roll and tape the coile when you get it in its shape.

Step 4: Removing & Soldering

Open up the the camera and take out the circuit board but be careful if you get your fingers in the wrong place than you are going to get a nasty shock (if the capacitor is charged).

Remove the flash and the switch for the flash.

Solder 3 wires to the charge switch as shown in the photo and just follow the photos and the schematic.

Step 5: Finish

Now you are ready to do whatever you need a electromagnetic pulse for, you can make a nice enclosure for it to. I am not responsible for any destroyed phones or damage!
