I have heard of the Flux Capacitor... But Pumped Flux Generator?

[url=http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99992654]E-bomb" may see first combat use in Iraq[/url]

One unclassified approach to producing the required pulse is a device called an Explosive Pumped Flux Generator. In this a charged bank of capacitors energises a coil wrapped around a copper tube, which itself contains high explosives.

Far out!  A non-nuke EMP weapon.  I wasn't aware that they were working on those.

Is that what the thing in the new version of "Ocean's 11" was supposed to be?  I have to nitpick the use of it in the film, because it took out everything in Las Vegas, but all their cameras, remotes, and cell phones were soon operational again a couple of seconds later.  It should have fried everything permanently!
