They can=B4t even differ between energy and power! In a contect= where it is obvious they would mean peak power (wats), they state "peak= energies of tens of millions of Joules" Bah. Who would believe the rest they write? Interesting way to make a "sweeping resonator" thugh, by crushing the= inductor in the LC cirquit with dynamite...! I really doubt a th eenergy in a bunch of capacitors can destroy anyting on= a distance though, as 99.9999999999 something of the released energy will= go to internal loss and all surrounding earth/water/space... Unless the target set up a very huge antenna... It will only make a noise peak. /Morgan -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
