sourcing from this forum

Okay, I already looked in the FAQ but it wasn't there. So how do you source information learned from this forum in your science binder? Need help.

I'm pretty sure most of the race sail boat hulls like lasers and such are made from hollow fiberglass.

More EMP Questions...

Okay. I am going to do the idea with the dimmer lights to make electromagnetic interference and test the disturbance on a handheld radio. I understand the concept of it now. I am also going to test different shields on the radio to find if I can block the disturbance. The big questions I have now ar...

I just tried the light dimmer and did the inbetween station. It worked wonderfully. Now I need to know if the disturbance is coming from the actual switch or the light. Thank you.

Thank you. I don't think i can use the microwave unfortunately because it is already shielded to keep its electric charge from escaping into the kitchen. For the light dimmer thing, do i put the antenna near the light or the dimmer? Also, you say I don't need to set the radio to a station?

funny you mention that book. It is what gave me the idea for the experiment. However, the book is more of a joke book. I don't think that any of the things in the book actually work. Its kind of like the time machine in napolean dynamite.

ive tried most of that already

i tried the spark plugs on the AM radio but it didn't work. The microwave worked really well, but I just wanted the EMP to look legitimate instead of testing with a microwave. (It doesn't look very professional). I was planning on using the AM radio to pick up the disturbances, but i really wanted t...

How to make an EMP?

My science fair project was to test different types of shieldings to see if they could properly block an Electromagnetic Pulse. My problem is producing the EMP. I have done lots of research on it and most of the ways are not practical and i found them from questionable sources. I have talked to a fe...
