I gave the number of talks at hacker conferences about injecting EMP into digital devices. I plan on doing a new set of talks using EMP created by a tesla coil the summer of 2014. I will demonstrate robots and injecting EMP into them in particular. I am planning to create a robotic zoo consisting of Spiders, Ants and Beatles. Next pulse them so they are unresponsive for a couple of seconds. The trick here is to adjust the power level and pulse parameter to temporally incapacitate them and not burn them out. One episode of StarTreck inspired this experiment. The Enterprise created a short term power pulse on the power grid of a planet and caused a momentary power blackout.
I’m also doing a demo of a wireless drone helicopter. This device will be linked to the remote by an infrared signal. It might be too ambitious at this point, but I may also try to pulse different Boolean logic gates (and or not) and perform a forensic audit on them to see which one’s more sensitive to an EMP pulse.
