Re: [TCML] EMP/RF interferance

[Scott Bogard <teslas-intern@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok guys,
     I am not going into details about what I am building (it would be 
way too off topic,) except to say I am not trying to make an EMP 
generator.  The devise should be fairly small, so I was thinking of 
putting it in some kind of container so if it does make an EMP (slim 
chance) that my electronic stuff is good.  I guess a steel box is the 
way to go.  Because of what it is, I am a little concerned about making 
an EMP by accident (just so you don't worry about it, it is not a small 
nuclear bomb or such similar devise, I am not a terrorist, or insane (or 
both.))  Anyway, thank you to all those who responded on list or off, as 
always I appreciate your comments and will see to it that when I am 
ready to test this devise, it will be well shielded, just in case.
