US12704364 - Bullet projectile producing electro-magnetic pulse upon impact

The patent describes a bullet projectile designed to generate an electromagnetic pulse upon impact, utilizing an internal sliding magnetic hammer that moves through a cylindrical coil. This mechanism creates a voltage that results in a spark discharge, effectively damaging electronic devices within the target.

Claim 1

1 . A bullet projectile for producing an electromagnetic pulse upon impact with a target comprising: a cylindrical hollow fuselage, a solid cylindrical internal hammer, and a nose cone; said cylindrical hollow fuselage having an inner diameter (ID) and outer diameter (OD) and length (L F ), and one end of said cylindrical hollow fuselage being closed, and the other end of said cylindrical hollow fuselage being open, and said closed end of said cylindrical hollow fuselage being faced towards the back end of said bullet projectile, and said open end of said fuselage being faced towards the front end of said bullet projectile; said solid cylindrical internal hammer being inside said cylindrical hollow fuselage and having a length (L H ) less than length (L F ) and a diameter (D) which is between one mil and ten mils less than inner diameter (ID), and said solid cylindrical internal hammer being free to slide back and forth within said cylindrical hollow fuselage and, said solid cylindrical internal hammer being composed of a material with a permeant magnetic moment thereby said solid cylindrical internal hammer is a cylindrical permanent magnet, and said nose cone being attached to the open end of said fuselage; said nose cone having a base and said base being the end of said nose cone which is in contact with the front open end of said cylindrical hollow fuselage, and the opposing end of said nose cone defining the front end of said nose cone which is the front end of said bullet projectile and, the position of said nose cone further defining the front end of said bullet projectile; when said solid cylindrical internal hammer is positioned to be touching the closed end of said cylindrical hollow fuselage a volume of internal space exists between the front end of said solid cylindrical internal hammer and the base of said nose cone, and said volume of internal space being empty space within said fuselage, and within the solid walls of said cylindrical hollow fuselage is a conductive path forming a cylindrical coil, and wherein two ends of said conductive path are positioned in said empty space within said fuselage and are unconnected to form a spark gap therebetween; and whereupon and when said bullet projectile is accelerated from rest from a launching device, said solid cylindrical internal hammer is forced to slide to the rear of said bullet, and whereupon and when said bullet projectile strikes a target and undergoes deceleration said hammer is forced to slide towards the front of said bullet projectile, and as said solid cylindrical internal magnetic hammer slides forward towards the front of said bullet projectile it moves through the inside of said cylindrical coil causing a time changing magnetic flux through the coil thereby generating a voltage between said two ends of said conductive path causing a spark discharge therebetween, said spark discharge causing an electromagnetic pulse to emanate from said bullet projectile upon impact with a target. a cylindrical hollow fuselage, a solid cylindrical internal hammer, and a nose cone; said cylindrical hollow fuselage having an inner diameter (ID) and outer diameter (OD) and length (L F ), and one end of said cylindrical hollow fuselage being closed, and the other end of said cylindrical hollow fuselage being open, and said closed end of said cylindrical hollow fuselage being faced towards the back end of said bullet projectile, and said open end of said fuselage being faced towards the front end of said bullet projectile; said solid cylindrical internal hammer being inside said cylindrical hollow fuselage and having a length (L H ) less than length (L F ) and a diameter (D) which is between one mil and ten mils less than inner diameter (ID), and said solid cylindrical internal hammer being free to slide back and forth within said cylindrical hollow fuselage and, said solid cylindrical internal hammer being composed of a material with a permeant magnetic moment thereby said solid cylindrical internal hammer is a cylindrical permanent magnet, and said nose cone being attached to the open end of said fuselage; said nose cone having a base and said base being the end of said nose cone which is in contact with the front open end of said cylindrical hollow fuselage, and the opposing end of said nose cone defining the front end of said nose cone which is the front end of said bullet projectile and, the position of said nose cone further defining the front end of said bullet projectile; when said solid cylindrical internal hammer is positioned to be touching the closed end of said cylindrical hollow fuselage a volume of internal space exists between the front end of said solid cylindrical internal hammer and the base of said nose cone, and said volume of internal space being empty space within said fuselage, and within the solid walls of said cylindrical hollow fuselage is a conductive path forming a cylindrical coil, and wherein two ends of said conductive path are positioned in said empty space within said fuselage and are unconnected to form a spark gap therebetween; and whereupon and when said bullet projectile is accelerated from rest from a launching device, said solid cylindrical internal hammer is forced to slide to the rear of said bullet, and whereupon and when said bullet projectile strikes a target and undergoes deceleration said hammer is forced to slide towards the front of said bullet projectile, and as said solid cylindrical internal magnetic hammer slides forward towards the front of said bullet projectile it moves through the inside of said cylindrical coil causing a time changing magnetic flux through the coil thereby generating a voltage between said two ends of said conductive path causing a spark discharge therebetween, said spark discharge causing an electromagnetic pulse to emanate from said bullet projectile upon impact with a target.
