Dont think it was real probably something dreamt up by the movie makers, the purpose of the "gun" i think was like a EMP shock wave through the cars metal shell to effect all electrical components like the ecu etc...since 100% of electrical items a grounded they can be shutdown buy this form of a "gun". Dotn know if it's correct but *shrugz...

  • 3 months later...

EMP = electrical magnetic pulse

But the gun in the movie is strictly fictional.

How can they shut down the car in 3 stages, they made it look like it taped into the engine management and started to close it down in stages ...

there are real devices like it but they just fry the electrical system, not shut it down in stages .. but only in america ..

a necleur bomb will stop a cars electrical system .. hahaha and the explosion will do the rest ...

fictional based upon the technology that i believe was used in the gulf war? I remember reading somewhere that some of the missiles were equipped with a form of bomb which only had the effect of frying computers, in particular nano devices like CPU's used in military equipment. harmless to humans (apart from the impact of course)

Wouldn't laugh though, it may just become a reality some day, although i'd doubt they'd waste it on petty boy-racers. :(

yeah there are such things they fall under the 'non lethal weapons' catagory.

The US cops were trying a device that looked similar to a shoe box on wheels, that was shot out from under the front their car, and designed to go under the car they were chasing and discharge an EMF powerful enough to fry the ECU and chips in the car. There is only one problem with this, just imagine if the person in the car has a pacemaker!

Id doubt it was real be pretty wicked if it was but

It is real people!!! USA has proto type and seen discovery channel on that EMP.

Its not used at the moment only cuz, scientist doesn not know the effect on Human Brain.

and it is dangerouse to use while vehicle travelling high speed. when engine turns off the car go stray and hit other pople on the road.

cheers

It would be difficult for that sort of device to be legalised due to the firing of a projectile with spikes on the end.

Can you imagine the shitfiight if the cops aim was off and he put it through the window and into the driver/passenger? LAWSUIT, it is america after all!

Sounds like a good idea, haven t seen the movie yet and dont really care to *shrugs*

Can u imagine the amount of power it would take to shut down a car making however many kw through the alternator. I dont think u could do it with another car battery.

The weapon they used in the gulf was a kinda experimental to say the least.

"1991: DESERT STORM: According to Defense News, April 13 - 19, 1992, the US deployed an electromagnetic pulse weapon (EMP) in Desert Storm, designed to mimic the flash of electricity from a nuclear bomb. The Sandia National Laboratory had built a 23,000 square meter laboratory on the Kirkland Air Force Base, 1989, to house the Hermes II electron beam generator capable of producing 20 Trillion Watt pulses lasting 20 billionths to 25 billionths of a second. This X-ray simulator is called a Particle Beam Fusion Accelerator. A stream of electrons hitting a metal plate can produce a pulsed X-ray or gamma ray. Hermes II had produced electron beams since 1974. These devices were apparently tested during the Gulf War, although detailed information on them is sparse... "

Thats alot of juice and these thing would not be cheap, would proably be cheaper to blow a bunker to simtherines instead.

More reading for any interested More

Yepp, they are around, if you have the right Taliban and US contacts !! LOL

They are a 'little bit' different to whant was shown in the movie though.

For propolsion, the one in the movie would have been using presurised gas or air.

Underwater spear guns use compressed air, and on the flat out setting are totally wicked :cheers:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
