HOMEMADE MICROWAVE WEAPONS

The US military is hard at work designing, building, and using directed energy weapons (HERFs -- high energy radio frequency or microwave weapons) for use against micro-electronics and fuel vapor. Unfortunately, directed energy weapons are much more valuable to global guerrillas than nation-state militaries due to the target imbalance between nation-states and non-state foes. The technology needed to build these weapons is generally available and inexpensive (numerous experiments, including this one, scroll to bottom, with a converted microwave oven demonstrate this). Homemade directed energy weapons will eventually become the weapon of choice for global guerrillas intent on infrastructure destruction.

A good reference on this is Col. Eileen Walling's "High Power Microwaves: Strategic and Operational Imperatives for Warfare" (PDF). She lists four distinctive characteristics of a microwave weapon:

• They don't rely on knowledge of the system.
  
• They leave persistant and lasting effects on the system through destruction of circuits and components.
  
• They can impact systems even when they are turned off.
  
• To counter the weapon the entire system must be hardened.

Here are some attributes of a microwave weapons:

• Entry to a system can be direct or indirect (through a variety of backdoor channels).
  
• Destruction occurs from the inside out.
  
• Extreme lethality for electronic components (and fuel systems).
  
• Repair is extremely difficult -- it requires high level systems analysis.
  
• Most systems are not hardened against microwave frequencies.
  
• Area attacks are possible.
  
• Insensitive to weather (rain, fog, etc.).
  
• Long reach depending on power used.
  
• Replenishment is easy (nothing except power is expended).
  
• Scalable size (a weapon that weighs less than 10 lbs is possible).
  
• Logistics are limited to battery/power source replacement.
  
• Limited collateral damage.

I'll point out that hardening against HERF weapons (or any electromagnetic weapon) is relatively trivial. If I remember correctly, one layer of grounded, old-fashioned metal window screen mesh will do, as long as there aren't any gaps.

Hmm. I wonder who still makes that stuff.

[John Robb]

Michael, hardening all microelectronics embedded throughout the "econosphere" may be trivial in concept but non-trivial in practice/expense.

The reason I "like" these weapons is that they are extremely simple to build (the parts, even for much higher power/frequency, needed to build these weapons are available globally), the expertise needed to build them is less than that needed to build a car bomb, their impact on systems can be much more severe than that of explosives, they are silent/stealthy, and they are cheap (mass production of these weapons would put their price at a level comparable to an AK-47 or RPG).

I agree with you about the potencially easy power to destruct found in microwave devices. I think it's a terrible madness but as you menctioned can be so easy to get the protection with the very simple Faraday's cage. It's a matter of physics(electrical?) design and this must be said by the same way. Mauricio

[lee clemmer]

to whom it may or maynot concern, i am now and have been a victom of these weapions and more for many years and it is now killing me! i have complained to the government many times to no avail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they claim these weapon are my delusion!!!

[owen griffin]

any tiny metal mesh should work fine to deflect microwaves. i think though, that it depends on the frequency of the waves, because that determmines the size of the microwave. standard microwave ovens have a small grille in them, you can get a general idea of how small the mesh should be to protect your system.

Anyone know what the smallest RF weapon advertised??

[jeeves]

im doin a project on EMP so i check out this forum if there is any one here could you give me some info on this microwave wep or whatever

9th grade by the way

The U.S. military has spent decades on this after the moscow embassy "event". Today these microwave weapons are used in conjuction with see through walls tech, see milliwave radar. They have reached vigilante groups who have turned mob stalking into a deadly sport where the "gang" can "cook" undesireable persons in their home. The DOD contractors have given us an Orwellian nightmare that can only lead downward unless a blocking tech is devised for personal protection. If you know how to block 3+GHZ microwave please let me know.

[Jean Weinbaum]

I have been attacked by Microwave Weapons.
for several Years, and it is no Fun. I have tried to
protect myself, but it is not possible, because those are criminal elements, who have much more know how and also Money and time. At long range, they will be able
to kill me. They did it bevore, and more and more people
will die from it, If nothing is be done.

[Lawrence Curtin]

The government is using microwave weapons on thousands on people to keep them from speaking out. I am one of the victims. Go to www.photovoltaics.com

However there are weapons coming that will stop this evil. They are called deturium/trintium bombs, nuclear fusion bombs, the midnight sun. This country can not get away with what this country is doing to its own citizens.

[R]

i live outside of camp lejune NC , ive been attacked constantly day and night by these weapons and much much more. i am a survivor not a victim as all of us, remember that if your being attacked your not alone and we will have justice one day... please never give up the fight. anyone who wants to talk or has advice on how to counter these weapons please contact me...

I have in the Electronic field for around 25 years.
Worked in everything from 2-Way radio to Home appliances to Computers.
This problem may be caused by certain people tinkering with modified Microwave ovens.
The typical household microwave oven operates at 2.45 Ghz using a tube called a Magnetron.
A magnetron tube could be used as a weapon to cause symptoms or damage reported by victims on websites like this one.
In my experience a magnetron is nothing more than a simple transmitter the puts out 1000 watts at 2.45 Ghz with a simple Waveguide and a Horn you could probly light up your neighbors flouresent lights in their house causing them to really freak out.
Engineers that work at local TV and Radio stations know of this andf have known of this technology for 30 some years.
The Magnetron is nothing new however the way people use the technology is new.
Who would ever think about using a big transmitter to cause harm to people--Black ops???
Back in 95 a buddy and i were playing with a CB radio with a RF amplifier that took the typical 5 watts out and made it 150 watts--When we would talk on it (Transmit) at a red light ,9 times out of ten the blinkers on the car in front of us would blink strange or their tale lights would blink.
This was caused by the radio waves coming off our little antenna on the roof of the car bleeding into the electronics of the other car in front or in back of us.
It must be stressed that our goal was not this outcome,we were simply just trying to get out farther like 25 miles farther so we could talk into the next town.
Technology can be used for evil and i would hope that people could be more responsible if they find their eqipment is interfering out causing damage to others eqipment or for everyones sake ,their health.

Continuation of last post;
Walked around for a bit sipping coffee thinking of my last post.
I offered nothing in the way of help to people that may be victims of this kinda thing so here goes.
Most if not all RF can be blocked by using METAL window screen with a wire running to a cold water pipe or tinfoil using same method.
You have to remember that with any transmitter the power falls off with the SQUARE of the distance if your so inclined you can do the math :-) If i was feeling i was under some attack i would use the tinfoil method and then just paint over that or use some type of lining in the walls made of some lightweight screen--but just dont connect the metal to any wiring in the walls or you could be risking a fire.

Anybody looking for an EMP generator?

[onwuks]

pls send me a good acount of this pls

[AnonymousCoward]

Radio Shack sells a nice Microwave leakage detector for about $60.00.
detects in the 2.4 Hgz range low power or high (100 Milliwatts to extreme power levels such as 1000 watts. Covers everything from 2.4 Ghz routers and cordless phones to microwave ovens with bad seals anything in the 2.4 Ghz range --seems alot of home apliances operate at that freq nowdays....

Where to start.
Last year I had a "sneak and peek" done at my house. This was done with a rather fancy new fiber optic camera, of which I saw the operator of one of the devices. There were at times 3 of these cameras in operation. Its black of course, about 4 feet long with a bend at the tip and a box that houses the operator controls at the back. Kind of like a fishing pole that's about 2 inches thick.
It is articulating, meaning it can drive the fiber around corners. It has about 75 feet of fiber optic wire which is made by lucent technologies. This camera was also show on the local news being used to search for landslide victims this winter where the 12 houses were covered in Calif.

The bug I pulled out of the phone box on the outside of my house (you need a special hex wrench)
was located between the incoming line and the house phone.
The microchip part number was 669E which I traced to the manufacturer which listed it as a "watchdog" chip.
I was lasered,green in color, and had numerous guys peering in the windows at night with newer type night vision goggles. The also used an infrared illuminator that was driven by the same fiber optics system that consisted of 2 thin disks about the size of dimes that folded up on them selves.

I have a ton of details but haven't been able to get them in order so far. It will be several pages.

The microwaving, which was accomplished by several methods was intense, and remain so.
The fancy rig that was used is made of "spider wire" that was strung though the treetops over a 1 block area around my house. This served as a moveable RF attenna.
it consists of two loops joined in the middle by a small lead wrap about 6 inches long and painted black. This was used at night of course and was difficult to spot.
A private investigator I contacted confided that he occasionally uses the same method and was impressed I saw it in action. At the disrance of ten feet above my head it gave off a VERY intense EM field that felt like a buzzing, crackling feeling , blured vision and loss of motor control and intense fear reaction.

The lead weight hitting the roof or side of the house is probably the banging sound Ive heard described by so many victims. Since it is moveable, the operator was able to follow me all around my property.
The lead wrap provided the weight and means to raise and lower in height, thus allowing the system full 3 dimension of movement within its range.

As a result of this, and the other hardware being used at and around our house both my wife and I have nearly died, both hospitalized with immune system disorders, and recently a 2 year old girl died across the street from immune system disorder.Her mother is a well know aids activist.

Anyway the street theater is in full swing next door.
Any help you can send my way will be appreciated
Thanks, Brant Mccarthy

Microwaves are typically transmitted from the end of a waveguide and follow a straight line. This is why microwave relay towers are line-of-sight, the antennas must be "looking" directly at each other in order to communicate. There is no power loss over distance since the wave does not spread out like a lower frequency radio wave transmitted via a normal antenna. Only contact with objects will dissipate the power, such as collisions with water vapor in the atmosphere, etc.

In the case of a magnetron being operated outside of a microwave oven cavity, the RF energy would emerge as a beam, kind of like an RF laser (but not really). The RF will not spread like the light from a flashlight but will stay in the straight and narrow line making it highly directional.

A magnetron, factory installed in a microwave, cooks by filling the cavity with deflected waves. The microwave beam enters the cavity, hits the wall of the cavity and bounces until it hits another wall and bounces and this continues until the entire cavity is filled with microwave RF energy. The introduction of food and containers into the cavity will cause “cold” spots in the cavity as a result of the waves being blocked or attenuated. This is why most modern microwaves have a rotating carousel, so that whatever is being cooked can get the best RF bath possible.

With all of this being said it is worth noting that microwave radiation DOES NOT cook from the inside out. That is just ignorant urban legend folklore crap. The first water molecule that the wave hits will attenuate the wave. Why would a microwave favor a water molecule inside of a chicken breast over one on the surface? Rather the microwave heats from the outside in (after all, it has to strike just as another radiant energy source would, on the outside first.) This is not to say that microwave radiation does not penetrate into whatever it is that you are cooking, my only point is that the “inside out” thing is crap.

So, microwaves can be used to communicate over long distances or can be used to warm anything with molecules small enough to attenuate the RF at the specific operating frequency. Any of you out there who are smart enough to calculate RF wave lengths will appreciate that only a specific frequency of microwave will heat food since the wave length must be of a size that will be attenuated by fat or water in the item that you are heating (this is why an empty glass will not get hot in a microwave.)

If you truly believe that the government (or whoever) is controlling you with microwaves, there is some good news. First of all, the power that is being used must be extremely low or you would have cooked by now. Second of all, microwaves can only warm/heat when directed at a person. If you do not notice any warming sensations then you can relax. However, the best news is that it does not take very much in the way of shielding to block microwaves. A metal roof would do the trick like killing a mouse with a sledge hammer. Simply installing some aluminum foil in the attic would also do the trick at a fraction of the cost of the metal roof.

Paint with a high metal content (lead, aluminum, etc.) would adequately shield your entire home and you could even paint over the metallic paint with a more pleasant color if you desired.

Sorry to hear of so many people being controlled by the government’s microwaves. I’ve not had that problem personally but if I notice any warming sensations I’ll get out the aluminum foil hat and hope for the best. Good luck to you all.

Im curious if i pulled the magnetron from the microwave to use its beam potentials how would i know to direct the beam ??? so i wouldnt hit someone or myself ???

Hello from snowy Russia!

We now makin' this shit & i must say be careful. This is not a toy :)

I have lost 2 guys (they are in hosp. now)
Use parabolic antennas. And cover your balls if ya now what i mean.

And... BEWARE!)

P.S. sorry 4 my english)

e: Shelly
You made a mistake with a statement you made (There is no power loss over distance since the wave does not spread out like a lower frequency radio wave transmitted via a normal antenna).

(NOT TRUE !!!!)

If you are technically trained you should know that the (power) falls off with the square of the distance.

Power ratio=ALog of DB/10
3 db horn=2 times power
6 db=4 times power
9db=8times power
12db=16 times power
18db=64 times power

So lets say we started with a 1000 watt source and added a horn with 18db gain
64x1000=64,000 watts now you have to calculate the distance it has to travel in either air or a vacuum.
(Yes it makes a difference)
With 64,000 watts-2.4 Ghz at a distance of a hundred or so yards away the disruptance to ANYTHING would be minor.
This is not Star trek stuff here,we are dealing with RF not plasma weapons or class 4 lasers (The type used for cutting steel)Take it from me--ive dealt with this stuff--It would take way to much power to make a dent in anything unleess you are right in front of the antenna or are firing up that tube with no horn and sitting in front of it.
In that case paln on getting glocoma or cateracks early in life.
Don't play with this stuff unless you are qualified cause the voltages reqired can kill you.
I say -Walk your dog -tell your kids you love them,voluteer at a homeless shelter.
Don't dwell on such crazy notions that cannot be of any benefeit in your life.

I have no technical expertise; am not an engineer or even an electrician; have no interest in learning about gigglewhats or mumboes of jumbo; to boot, I live inna wheelchair. Pigs snoop. Wife says I can't shoot'em. Where can I get SIMPLE easy-to-follow instructions to build a microwave weapon that will fry pork from 50 to 200 feet away?
