Abstract
An EMP-resistant (electromagnetic pulse-resistant) case for portable electronic devices is provided. The case includes a conductive external housing configured to enclose the electronic device. The housing includes a lower housing having a continuous connection surface. The housing also includes an upper housing having a continuous connection surface. The lower and upper housing are configured to releasably engage at the continuous connection surface. The housing includes a conductive gasket positioned at the continuous connection surface between the upper and lower housing. The case also includes a first insulative layer at least partially covering the inside surface of the upper and lower housing.
Claims10
An EMP-resistant (electromagnetic pulse resistant) case for portable devices, comprising:
- an upper housing and a lower housing connected by a continuous connection surface, wherein the lower housing and the upper housing each comprise:
- a first exterior electrically conductive layer,
- a first insulative layer disposed on an inside of the first exterior electrically conductive layer,
- a second electrically conductive layer disposed on an interior of the first insulative layer,
- a second insulative layer disposed on an interior of the second electrically conductive layer, and
- a third conductive layer having a third insulative layer disposed on an interior of the third conductive layer;
- wherein the first insulative layer is sandwiched between the first and second electrically conductive layers, the first insulative layer configured to maintain electrical separation between the first and second electrically conductive layers;
- and
- further wherein the third insulative layer is sandwiched between the second and third electrically conductive layers, the third insulative layer configured to maintain electrical separation between the second and third electrically conductive layers.
An EMP-resistant flashlight comprising:
- an external housing having an upper housing and a lower housing, the upper housing and lower housing each comprising:
- a first exterior electrically conductive layer,
- a first insulative layer disposed on an interior of the first exterior electrically conductive layer,
- a second electrically conductive layer disposed on an interior of the first insulative layer,
- a second insulative layer disposed on an interior of the second electrically conductive layer,
- a third electrically conductive layer disposed on an interior of the second insulative layer, and
- a third insulative layer disposed on an interior of the third electrically conductive layer;
- a continuous connection surface coupled to each of the upper housing and the lower housing;
- and
- a light source coupled to the upper housing;
- wherein the first insulative layer is sandwiched between the first and second electrically conductive layers, the first insulative layer configured to maintain electrical separation between the first and second electrically conductive layers;
- and
- further wherein the third insulative layer is sandwiched between the second and third electrically conductive layers, the third insulative layer configured to maintain electrical separation between the second and third electrically conductive layers.
