Trump was speaking to top American military leaders who had gathered for a rare meeting at Quantico, Virginia.

    Take a steel wrench/spanner to the top of a telephone pole with one of those round transformers on top. Carefully drop the wrench so it connects with both of the connectors on the transformer. It will explode, so watch out. It will also create an EMP that should cover about a city block in radius.

      Shorting a transformer isn’t going to do anything with a EMP where are you getting that?

      What it WILL do is create an arc thats about 20k+ c that will kill you if you’re lucky. But yes it’ll probably knock out power for a few hours.

      A rifle bullet can easily destroy a transformer. All it takes is a hole to drain the liquid from it.
