let me greentext it
>be me, senior in HS
>graduation project is required, and it has to be somehow related to your junior paper
>paper was on network security
>have a brilliant idea
>build an EMP-proof fabric that you can simply attach to your electronics, and it'll shield it against semi-powerful EMPs
>talk with my project mentor on it
>he's a computer engineer at Coca-Cola that used to work for the state government
>he says we can totally do it, we have the supplies and the money
>create a blueprint for the fabric
>basically a 1/16 in. fabric made of copper, nanosilver, and cotton
>put that aside for now
>plan a prototype for the generator
>after all, we have to test the fabric against something
>of course it was more advanced, but it was basically three car batteries, a board, a transformer, some condensers, and two modified cavity magnetrons
>total supplies cost: ~$120
let me cont.

>>1150405
>about to build it
>mom has the idea that we should contact local police before testing it in the field we were going to use it at
>we go to the sheriff's office
>they refer us to the chief of the bomb squad for info
>the guy is a marine veteran, he's also pretty huge
>ask him if it's ok to test it in the field provided we use radiation shielding to vulnerable areas
>show him the blueprints
>"Yeah, it doesn't seem like it could really do anything too bad, especially with protection in place. I'll refer you to my man in Homeland Security, he'll talk to you about this soon."
>do some research, find the number for my local agency
>ask if i could talk to someone about the project, after all it's for the greater good in the end
>they said they'd get back to me soon

>we talk about my senior project
>tells me how cool it is
>i tell him what it's going to be for
>"i plan on selling the fabric to the private and government cybersecurity sector to protect against electronic warfare attacks towards the USA"
>he's pretty amazed
>the guy comes in, pretty redneck looking dude. beard, orange cap, camo hunting jacket, blue jeans

>he'd like to hear about my project from the source
>somehow remain calm physically
>freaking out inside
>talk to him about the purpose of my project
>he thinks it's pretty neat
>we talk about the device i was going to build
>tell him that unless i use it for malicious intent, it's perfectly legal to build
>ask him if i am allowed to test it in an open area with proper protection
>he smiles
>he tells me how dangerous this is
>"first of all, the modifications you'll be making with the magnetrons has like a 90% possibility of releasing radioactive material in the area. assuming you have protection for this, it's still extremely dangerous to be working with that amount of electricity."
>we discuss it further
>i bring up again that i have a project alt plan, but i really have my heart set on this
>everyone in the room agrees that this project has lots of potential, but it's dangerous nonetheless
>i ask him again if it's legal
>"There's not really any solid federal restrictions on the use of EMP devices (mostly because lots of devices naturally give of weak EMPs), so i won't tell you if you can do it or not, that's up to you, because it's technically legal. However, you'll be charged with any damages caused by the device".
>he reminds me that although the device is powerful enough to bypass military-grade EMP protection, and that my fabric can potentially protect devices against this, it still has a range of about 2 miles, even with protection

>holding back tears on the inside, i've been working on this for 4 months

>"Creating a virus, and testing it against my own computers, then creating a protective measure to prevent the virus."
>i tell him it's perfectly legal, because it's on my own devices
>he asks me if i even know how to do that
>"Of course! I'm extremely proficient in computers, and have even been reporting cyber issues in the county school system."
>he tells me that's a felony
>"Actually, i was given written permission by the IT director at the school i'm at, as well as approval from the county IT director."
>he's visibly stunned

>i pull up a real-time list of all the usernames, emails, passwords, home addresses, names, and payroll directories of all high school staff
