Here at home the disruption is near 100%. I would suspect that it effects
cell phone operation for up to 100 ft, television reception for up to 100
yards, and AM radio reception for up to a mile but I am just guessing. I
have heard similar reports from discussions in the sci.electronics groups.

What I would like to know if there exist a device wich you can carry and
wich is hidden, and then fry cellphones of people talking loudly about
very private things in public. It has to be directional so one would
have to aim it at the abuser.

This is drifting off-topic for this group but if you can develop a large
enough electromagnetic pulse you can fry just about any piece of electronic
that is not radiation hardened. It wouldn't be cheap and it would require
a signifigant amount of development capitol.

Ok - now REALLY off topic, but yes.

The U.S. military did some theoretical studies into the use of high altitude
nuclear weapons that were designed to dump most of their energy into a groud
directed electromagnetic pulse. The purpose would be to burn out most or all
electronic equipment in a LARGE area.

Of course, most sensitive military electronic systems are housed in faraday
cages, which negates this kind of attack - but most financial systems are
NOT protected in this manner.
