Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for producing an electromagnetic pulse (EMP). Charged-particle intercalated graphite is disposed at least partially around an explosive and both are positioned within a non-geomagnetic magnetic field. The non-geomagnetic magnetic field accelerates charged particles released by the detonation of the explosive. The non-geomagnetic magnetic field may be generated by permanent magnets. The explosive may be formed in a layer with the non-geomagnetic field being oriented perpendicular to the layer. The layer may be form in the shape of a disc. The explosive and the charged-particle intercalated graphite may be positioned within a resonant cavity that is configured to amplify one or more specific frequencies of electromagnetic energy.
