King's Plasma Cascade Discharge Bomb

Both USA and USSR have been working on EMP weapons, and they all come up with wither conventional (coil, capacitor, electric discharge) or nuclear methods of producing an EMP. King Yarl has used his Adiabatic Cannon at his own High Energy Physics Institute to process krypton-containing kleistonite, aluminum and carbon to produce an explosive that is at least 5-10 times more powerful than TNT, produces hellish shock wave, an incredible EMP, and zero nuclides or radiation.

From what I found out on U6 web (education@public@kshepi), is this 2-shot process:

Shot 1: a target of pure dry ice (carbon dioxide) is shot with a slug of Aluminum Hydroxide, in the adiabatic cannon using a 2 to 5 ton high explosive charge, producing a solid Aluminum Carbide (Al4C3), just the kind that is found in cyalith.

Shot 2: At the National Accelerator Complex, a target of finely powdered cyalith, especially the kind that is high in deuterium, is bombarded with a series of particle beams ( of unknown sequence) of D2O deuterium water, xenon, lead, and magnesium alloy, resulting in a stressed latticed dispersion of xenon, and lead deuteroxide.



The two targets are kept well-separated from each other, and in a well-grounded container.

The principle behind the explosive potential is unlike the critical mass that is necessary for nuclear fission of isotopes.

What causes the explosion of hellish electric discharge is the third shot, when the two targets are fired at each other as quickly and snugly as possible. The Electron-rich xenon, packed too close for comfort into the cyalith homogeneous lattice, exerts repulsive interatomic pressure on lead and Aluminum Carbide, both in a structured but superstressed unstable lattice state. Further lattice formation is impossible, causing a massive oscillation of electrons that hit against deuterium and lead, and, soon thereafter, all these atoms become jarred till they start shedding their electrons, becoming ionized to a plasma state, and attempting to recapture any electrons around. The electrons have been expelled by deuterium into the surroundings, forming an electron cloud, destabilizing atoms of nitrogen, carbon and oxygen in the air, short-circuiting the air and ground, and in the result producing a flash, then a positive lightning of one stroke(in weapons over 600 kg (approximately 7 KT TNT equivalent), and a third, large flash.

Understandably, when shot out of a military weapon, the two targets cannot be juxtaposed, since it would lead to an immediate detonation inside the barrel. Instead, the targets are microencapsulated and dispersed with high explosive powder.

In missiles and dropped ammunition the targets are juxtaposed just like in a gun-type nuclear device.

The extremely destructive explosion produces little or no mushroom cloud, and low amounts of clouds of dust and debris.

When exploded in a rainy, wet weather, the device produces a more powerful first flash, and a weaker third flash.
Exploded underground, the device produces a lightning bolt, and a destructive third flash that excavates a deep crater.
Exploded in midair the weapon causes a minimal first flash, a powerful lightning strike, and an extremely powerful large flash.
Underwater explosions create a extreme energy discharge in the form of a shock wave.

Characteristics of this EMP (plasma cascade discharge, particle-discharge, Ударно-волновой излучатель) explosive:


Peak electric field of the first flash 100,000-1 million volts/meter
Peak electric field of the lightning 50,000-100,000 volts/meter
Peak electric field of the large flash 12-30 billion volts/meter

Speed of the first flash 50-100 km/s
speed of lightning 300-400 km/s
speed of the large flash 60-90 km/s

temperature of the large flash 4-6 billion Cenigrade
lightning current - at least 400-500 kA
voltage, depending on terrain, air and detonation height - 1-3 teravolts
pressure towards the end of the last flash 2-3 billion atm
