I Know all about preserving the right to learn and the philosophy of education. However, you hit the "nutjob" flag in the way you posed the question. Do you realize you just offered to pay for a device that would be a potential terrorist tool of choice? Do you realize from a engineering point of view, you asked a absurd question? Do you realize that in this day and age, no one will answer those sort of questions, to a potential threat,in a public forum? Do you realize it takes the staff and resources of a major, if not world class, laboratory to answer your questions? Even though it would take a exceptional team of people to build a prototype, some things are just not for the asking. And the reason is, such small devices, IF they worked, would be used against "SOFT" civil targets such as hospitals and banks. If you can't even realize the notion that the explosive "IS" the switch, and do not know about storage time,...... Oh well, never mind.... Wanting to learn is one thing, but offering to pay made your post another... Good day. Steve

No, I will net help except to say his flux compression is just wrong. Efficient emission of the pulse is something to be considered. Now, one can look at web pages dedicated to conventional EMP weapons for some inspiration and to see what it might be possible for terrorists to do and how to defend against such Considering what terrorists might do is legit. Designing a device yourself may not be illegal but comes close to conspiracy if you give a design to somebody who might make it.

You may want to look up the notion of "Predator" and "plausible deniability".

One thing I've always found amazing about usenet, is that there are experts out there who will genuinely help people for free, or for a price. Once you get past the trolls.
