Offensive and defensive nuclear magnetic resonance technologies

Abstract

Methods are disclosed for neutralizing weapons carried on a person or in a vehicle. This is accomplished using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. The information in this abstract is not meant to limit the scope of the claims in any way.

1 . A method for detonating a weapon or weapons, on a human target or targets, using nuclear magnetic resonance, comprising:
 a) applying a magnetic field or fields, with said magnetic field or fields source strength between zero and 100000 gauss, to said human target or targets,   b) sweeping said human target or targets one or more times with an electromagnetic field or fields resonating with the gradient or gradients of the applied said magnetic field or fields, such that the combination of the magnetic and electromagnetic field or fields activates nuclear magnetic resonance in the weapon atoms or weapons atoms, if present, and increases the temperature of said weapon atoms or weapons atoms, until detonation occurs of said weapon or weapons on said human target or targets.   
     
     
         2 . A method for detonating a weapon or weapons, on a target vehicle or vehicles, using nuclear magnetic resonance, comprising:
 a) applying a magnetic field or fields, with said magnetic field or fields source strength between zero and 100000 gauss, to said target vehicle or vehicles,   b) sweeping said target vehicle or vehicles one or more times with an electromagnetic field or fields resonating with the gradient or gradients of the applied said magnetic field or fields, such that the combination of the magnetic and electromagnetic field or fields activates nuclear magnetic resonance in the weapon atoms or weapons atoms, if present, and increases the temperature of said weapon atoms or weapons atoms, until detonation occurs of said weapon or weapons on said target vehicle or vehicles.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , for detonating a weapon or weapons, on a human target or targets, using nuclear magnetic resonance, further comprising:
 a) said weapon atoms or weapons atoms comprising copper found in brass firearms cartridges, atoms found in blasting caps, and any atoms found in any primary or secondary explosive.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , for detonating a weapon or weapons, on a target vehicle or vehicles, using nuclear magnetic resonance, further comprising:
 a) said weapon atoms or weapons atoms comprising copper found in brass firearms cartridges, atoms found in blasting caps, and any atoms found in any primary or secondary explosive.
