  2. Nuclear electromagnetic pulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_electromagnetic_pulse

    An EMP would probably not affect most cars, despite modern cars' heavy use of electronics, because cars' electronic circuits and cabling are likely too short to be affected. In addition, cars' metallic frames provide some protection. However, even a small percentage of cars breaking down due to an electronic malfunction would cause traffic jams ...

  3. Cougar (MRAP) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cougar_(MRAP)

    The Cougar is a mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) and infantry mobility vehicle structured to be resistant to landmines and improvised munitions.. It is a family of armored vehicles produced by Force Protection Inc, which manufactures ballistic and mine-protected vehicles.

  4. Electromagnetic pulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_pulse

    An electromagnetic pulse (EMP), also referred to as a transient electromagnetic disturbance (TED), is a brief burst of electromagnetic energy. The origin of an EMP can be natural or artificial, and can occur as an electromagnetic field , as an electric field , as a magnetic field , or as a conducted electric current .

  5. Electromagnetic propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_propulsion

    Electromagnetic propulsion (EMP) is the principle of accelerating an object by the utilization of a flowing electrical current and magnetic fields. The electrical current is used to either create an opposing magnetic field, or to charge a field, which can then be repelled.

    Image of the smallest Orion vehicle extensively studied, which could have had a payload of around 100 tons in an 8 crew round trip to Mars. [21] On the left, the 10 meter diameter Saturn V "Boost-to-orbit" variant, requiring in-orbit assembly before the Orion vehicle would be capable of moving under its own propulsion system. On the far right ...

  8. Automobile drag coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_drag_coefficient

    Lowering the drag coefficient comes from streamlining the exterior body of the vehicle. Streamlining the body requires assumptions about the surrounding airspeed and characteristic use of the vehicle. Cars that try to reduce drag employ devices such as spoilers, wings, diffusers, and fins to reduce drag and increase speed in one direction. [4]

  9. List of vehicle speed records - Wikipedia
