  • Abstract
    The author describes his experience on electromagnetic pulse generated by a lightning bolt. The author also gained a lot of respect for the electromagnetic energy that must be released from an airborne nuclear explosion, seeing as how one blast can easily destroy all electronics within a 1,000 mi radius.
