To put in perspective -a small charge w/deionized magnetic particles binded w/graphite
was to detonate 55,000ft. above kansas,the entire US would become "offline"-Any
device using any voltage would catastroficaly fail for at least 2 weeks or until replaced.
Think of bull in china shop,any charged particles dispersed near power grid attracts to
inductance(magnetic fields)which in turn shortout all electronics.Now for your question,
I would use an overload circuit.Imagine hitting a cars computer w/a stun gun,it would fry internal components.There is several ways,still got questions,e-mail me.
