When they were ready
for their first test, they rolled their aircraft
onto the platform and then they
turned on generators which then fired
16 million volts. [narrator] As the structure
was blasted with the massive current, with the massive current, to Bill's relief, it worked. It was the first of many
ATLAS-1 experiments which showed
the U.S. Air Force how to shield
electronics from EMPs. [Bill] We then added
protection to the plane to stop that electrical energy from getting through
into the plane

When they were ready for their first test,
00:00:03.001 --> 00:00:05.533
they rolled their aircraft onto the platform
00:00:05.006 --> 00:00:07.533
and then they turned on generators
00:00:07.006 --> 00:00:09.009
which then fired 16 million volts.
00:00:12.233 --> 00:00:14.333
[narrator] As the structure was blasted
00:00:14.333 --> 00:00:14.614
with the massive current,
00:00:14.614 --> 00:00:15.233
with the massive current,
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:19.001
to Bill's relief, it worked.
00:00:20.008 --> 00:00:24.133
It was the first of many ATLAS-1 experiments
00:00:24.002 --> 00:00:26.399
which showed the U.S. Air Force
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:30.433
how to shield electronics from EMPs.
00:00:30.499 --> 00:00:34.233
[Bill] We then added protection to the plane
00:00:34.299 --> 00:00:37.001
to stop that electrical energy
00:00:37.001 --> 00:00:39.399
from getting through into the plane.
