ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NEUTRALIZING EXPLOSIVE DEVICES AND ELECTRONICS

摘要

Disclosed are a system and method for discharging electrical potential into the earth to disable or destroy electronics and/or explosive devices. The disclosed system includes an electrical power supply providing a pulsed electrical potential exceeding 30,000 volts with at least 30 Joules of energy in each pulse. The system includes a cathode emitter configured to be moved along the earth in close proximity to the earth. The electrical potential is discharged into the earth through the cathode emitter.
