The EMP Museum ( formerly known as Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame or EMP | SFM ) is a museum dedicated to the history and exploration of popular music, science fiction and pop culture located in Seattle, Washington.

The EMP Museum was founded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, and opened its doors in 2000.

EMP struggled financially in its early years ; as a result, Allen established the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame ( SFM ), which opened in 2004 in the south wing of the EMP building.

The EMP Museum showcases rare artifacts from popular music history and allows the visitor to experience music through interactive exhibitions like Sound Lab and On Stage.

On June 4, 2011, the EMP Museum opened Avatar: The Exhibition, housed in the former SFM wing of the building.

The most common type of glycolysis is the Embden-Meyerhof pathway ( EMP pathway ), which was first discovered by Gustav Embden, Otto Meyerhof.

McCoy drives away in a truck to retrieve his wife and child in Sedalia, but it is disabled by the EMP blast.

As the chase moves across the globe, the nuclear satellite is shot down, causing an EMP effect that wipes out all unshielded electronics worldwide.

An electromagnetic pulse ( commonly abbreviated EMP ) is a burst of electromagnetic radiation.

Formal documentation of some of the EMP damage in Kazakhstan exists but is still sparse in the open scientific literature.

The E1 pulse is the very fast component of nuclear EMP.

According to the United States EMP Commission, the main potential problem with the E2 component is the fact that it immediately follows the E1 component, which may have damaged the devices that would normally protect against E2.

The E3 component is very different from the other two major components of nuclear EMP.

" At ground level, however, " solar EMP " is not known to produce an E1 or E2 component.

Older, vacuum tube ( valve ) based equipment is generally much less vulnerable to EMP than newer solid state equipment.

This is simply because electrons ( ejected from the air by gamma rays ) are stopped quickly in normal air for bursts below roughly 10 km ( about 6 miles ), so they do not get a chance to be significantly deflected by the Earth's magnetic field ( the deflection causes the powerful EMP seen in high altitude bursts ), thus the limited use of smaller burst altitudes for widespread EMP.

This current is asymmetric in general and gives rise to a rapidly rising radiated electromagnetic field called an electromagnetic pulse ( EMP ).

Typical nuclear weapon yields used during Cold War planning for EMP attacks were in the range of 1 to 10 megatons ( 4. 2 to 42 PJ ) This is roughly 50 to 500 times the sizes of the weapons the United States used in Japan at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The geomagnetic storm-like E3 component of nuclear EMP is more closely proportional to the total energy yield of the weapon.

A unique and important aspect of nuclear EMP is that all of the components of the electromagnetic pulse are generated outside of the weapon.

For high-altitude nuclear explosions, this means that much of the EMP is actually generated at a large distance from the detonation ( where the gamma radiation from the explosion hits the upper atmosphere ).

In other words, the electric field strength in the entire area that is affected by the EMP will be fairly uniform for weapons with a large gamma ray output ; but for much smaller weapons, the electric field may fall off at a comparatively faster rate at large distances from the detonation point.

It is the peak electric field of the EMP that determines the peak voltage induced in equipment and other electrical conductors on the ground, and most of the damage is determined by induced voltages.

Within the range of gamma ray deposition, simple laws no longer hold as the air is ionised and there are other EMP effects, such as a radial electric field due to the separation of Compton electrons from air molecules, together with other complex phenomena.

The range of NNEMP weapons ( non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse bombs ) is severely limited compared to nuclear EMP.

This technology advancement is referred to as Electronic Music Production or EMP.

It is also relatively unaffected by EMP and radiation.

One Whooping Crane from the Eastern Migratory Population ( EMP ) has been the recipient of special attention from conservationists for several years.

And excessive crossposts ( ECP ) are also a likely beginner's error, while excessive multiposts ( EMP ) suggest deliberate usage of special software.

InfraGard has a nationwide focus group that reviews threats that could disrupt critical infrastructure nationwide for a month or more named the electromagnetic pulse special interest group ( EMP SIG ).

Lastly, two special actions can also be set as linked actions: Antilock and Salvage from EMP and radio backpacks, respectively.

When SFM opened, EMP and SFM were treated as separate museums, and visitors had the option of purchasing admission to one museum, or, at a higher cost, a combined admission to both.

The subsequent Operation Fishbowl tests gathered more data on the high-altitude EMP phenomenon.

These new calculations, combined with the accelerating reliance on EMP-sensitive microelectronics, heightened awareness that the EMP threat could be a very significant problem.

The concept of the explosively pumped flux compression generator for generating a non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse was conceived as early as 1951 by Andrei Sakharov in the Soviet Union, but nations have usually kept their most recent work on non-nuclear EMP highly classified until the technology was old enough for similar ideas to be conceived by physicists in other nations.

In deep space or on worlds with no magnetic field ( the moon or Mars for example ) there will be little or no EMP.

How the peak EMP on the ground varies with the weapon yield and burst altitude.

The damaging effects on orbiting satellites are usually due to other factors besides EMP.

Since the E1 component of nuclear EMP depends on the prompt gamma ray output, which was only 0. 1 % of yield in Starfish Prime but can be 0. 5 % of yield in pure fission weapons of low yield, a 10 kiloton bomb can easily be 5 x 8 % = 40 % as powerful as the 1. 44 megaton Starfish Prime at producing EMP.

The same reference book also states that, "... over most of the area affected by the EMP the electric field strength on the ground would exceed 0. 5E < sub > max </ sub >.

During the Hardtack Teak test in 1958 observers noted the damaging effects of the electromagnetic pulse ( EMP ) caused by the explosions on electronic equipment, and during the Starfish Prime test in 1962 the EMP from a 1. 4 Mt warhead detonated over the Pacific damaged three satellites and also disrupted power transmission and communications across the Pacific.
