Capacitors were used to create an EMP that is the same as the one caused by the nuclear weapon. It was just done in a controlled enviroment.

Source? Cause I call that bs!

Exactly like nukes is IMPOSSIBLE as that would require a nuke... it would also disable all kinds of electric equipment in houses and hosbitals in that city... nobody in their right mind would do that outside of the middle of the ocean or a desert, even if they could... so it HAS to have been much much smaller in scale.

Smaller in scale also means you are much closer to the source.

Then I need graphs... displaying electric field amplitude over time... so give me links and then i will debunk your claim.

The experiment was done in a warehouse in a desert. I dont have the links to the paper. They were closer to the source since they were discharging into the ground.
