A nonlethal weapon of mass destruction that produces an EMP, which wipes out any electronic device within the blast radius.
The
weapon is silent, and if dropped above
Kansas, one could wipe out all electronics in the USA, essentially pushing us back to the 1800s.

You come home and turn on the
TV. Then the lights go out, but the TV still glows eerily, its been overloaded. Your
cell phone feels very
hot, its battery also overloaded. You look out the window and see that almost all the traffic has stopped,at least gasoline powered ones made after 1990. You recognize the signs of an e-bomb strike and look for your survival kit and gun.
