ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NEUTRALIZING EXPLOSIVE DEVICES AND ELECTRONICS

摘要

Disclosed is an apparatus that includes an electric power source that powers a Marx generator that is electrically coupled to a cathode emitter that is configured to discharge electrical potential into the earth. The apparatus also includes a load resistor that is coupled between the output of the Marx generator and either a relative ground or the input to the Marx generator.
