AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the meaning of "5T 5B" in the context of EMP bombs, with initial speculation suggesting it could refer to "5 top and 5 bottom" turns. Participants express skepticism about the reliability of the information, noting that much of the data on EMP technology is classified and potentially misleading. One contributor advises against further investigation into the topic, implying that the information may not be credible. The conversation reflects a cautious approach to understanding complex and potentially sensitive topics like EMP devices. Overall, the uncertainty surrounding the terminology and the credibility of the source leads to a recommendation to refrain from deeper exploration.

I'm reading a site about an EMP 'bomb' and they list the number of turns as "5T 5B"
does anyone know what that means?

is it something simple like 5 top and 5 bottom?

here's a link for the site if any is interested.
thanks.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
who knows ??

since so much if the info is so called classified, it could easily just all be a load of garbage on that particular site

I wouldn't pursue it any further

cheers

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Two capacitors, etc.'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
