Z-trigger thingamabober...
Let's say you were to encase some caked lithium into a molded cylinder of PETE plastic, throw a neutron gun on one end, then build as small and crude a Z-machine that you can around it. Make sure the magnet part has a flux pinch point in the lithium doodad. Then take that ol' goofy idea for the e-bomb and use the its pulse to power a ramping coil for this thingamobober instead of making an EMP... Would it fizzle or sizzle? It's probably a stupid idea anyways, but thats one of the abstractions that come to mind when reading Popular Science, sci-fi, and stuff on the internet while being half bored.
