Would it stop an XUD?? - r3k1355 - 03-12-2013 Well possibly http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25197786 Quote:A British company has demonstrated a prototype device capable of stopping cars and other vehicles using a blast of electromagnetic waves. RE: Would it stop an XUD?? - Dum-Dum - 03-12-2013 It would be f*cked against a DTurbo or an old carb driven car. I'm slightly skeptical about it all although I accept it is possible what about cars with electronic PAS and braking systems? EMP is a very blunt instrument for stopping cars and could well destroy the vehicle they are trying to stop and anything else nearby. It would also probably jam communication devices and anything electrical really. RE: Would it stop an XUD?? - Rippthrough - 03-12-2013 Pretty much, dead electronic systems, steering, transmission, ABS and ESP all at the same time is not a good idea.... RE: Would it stop an XUD?? - ozonehostile - 03-12-2013 Wasn't that the plot of one of the fast and furious films?

And yeah - DT would quite happily drive on if it has it's immobiliser system removed which most do.

RE: Would it stop an XUD?? - puglove - 03-12-2013 The only way i can see that working is on a simular way to an EMP which as said would render any electrical systems usless. I cant ever see it being mainstream. Besides health and saftey madness wouldnt allow a copper to hang out the window and fire the thing. And millitary use wise. Most things in these 3rd world countrys we are in are going to me carb or manual injection anyway so again usless lol RE: Would it stop an XUD?? - Grant - 03-12-2013 What if the driver has a pacemaker fitted?

Yeah, we've got the technology but it won't be used to stop cars. There'd be uproar. RE: Would it stop an XUD?? - Diggers - 03-12-2013 the problem is, it would snag so many health and safety problems, such as the pacemaker scenario, they cant take the risk of killing the driver to stop a car, this isnt the US. RE: Would it stop an XUD?? - Piggy - 03-12-2013 Just have snipers on bridges.... drive like a dumbass...get shot. Its the only idea of Jeremy Clarksons that I like RE: Would it stop an XUD?? - Grant - 03-12-2013 Out of everything clarkson said, that's your favourite? lol "Britain’s nuclear submarines have been deemed unsafe… probably because they don’t have wheel-chair access" “If we are being honest HIV is a pathetic virus, it can only live in the air for 6 seconds and it does what ebola does to you in 10 days in 10 years” “Racing cars which have been converted for road use never really work. It’s like making a hard core adult film, and then editing it so that it can be shown in British hotels. You’d just end up with a sort of half hour close up of some bloke’s sweaty face. ” I could go on.... lol RE: Would it stop an XUD?? - Dum-Dum - 03-12-2013 I suppose the issue isnt so much the using the EMP to stop the Criminal/Car and it killing them its what they hit if the car veers off or any other cars or electrical items within the range of the pulse Its like tasering someone, what if they have a pacemaker, what if they fall on the knife they were holding, what if theyd covered themselves in petrol, what if they fall and crack their head open etc. RE: Would it stop an XUD?? - Mattcheese31 - 03-12-2013 NOTHING CAN STOP AN XUD!!!!!!!! . . . . ![]() except slightly higher than usual coolant temperatures . . . . . ![]() RE: Would it stop an XUD?? - Niall - 03-12-2013 (03-12-2013, 09:28 PM)Mattcheese31 Wrote: NOTHING CAN STOP AN XUD!!!!!!!! . . . .
