The next Pearl Harbor will not announce itself with a searing flash of nuclear light or with the plaintive wails of those dying of Ebola or its genetically engineered twin. You will hear a sharp crack in the distance. By the time you mistakenly identify this sound as an innocent clap of thunder, the civilized world will have become unhinged. Fluorescent lights and television sets will glow eerily bright, despite being turned off. The aroma of ozone mixed with smoldering plastic will seep from outlet covers as electric wires arc and telephone lines melt. Your Palm Pilot and MP3 player will feel warm to the touch, their batteries overloaded. Your computer, and every bit of data on it, will be toast. And then you will notice that the world sounds different too. The background music of civilization, the whirl of internal-combustion engines, will have stopped. Save a few diesels, engines will never start again. You, however, will remain unharmed, as you find yourself thrust backward 200 years, to a time when electricity meant a lightning bolt fracturing the night sky. This is not a hypothetical, son-of-Y2K scenario. It is a realistic assessment of the damage the Pentagon believes could be inflicted by a new generation of weapons--E-bombs.
i read this article in a popular science mag a while back.

RFI is a wonderful thing
EGAD! that is not a communications device, that is an RF offensive weapon!

About 8 yrs ago, there was a CB'er down here (he's now a Ham )that had something like that in an old beat up Lincoln. He had the trunk filled with car batts, and two of the biggest, baddest black heatsinks mounted under a bank of 12v muffin fans. Key down, 5Kw RF output was claimed for a short duration...(I believe it.)
He had to go to dual alternators and mechanical points and condenser ignition. No solid state ignition module could stand up to that much RF field strength.
It was just that, an RF offensive weapon on wheels..., Drive up close to trashtalking "victim" and wipe out his Receiver...
Whenever I saw him on the road or in town, I hurredly jerked the antenna coax out of my ham rigs just in case he accidentally bumped the mike button.

BTW, most of those little key fob's work on or about 300mhz which is in the middle of the Military's historic UHF band(225 to ~420Mhz).. There are parts of this country close to big bases that when the mil 300mhz UHF freqs are used, none of the remotes in the whole town will work! It simply overloads the cheap UHF remote control receiver in the vehicle...
