Rednecks and EML

In 'When The Devil Dances' John Ringo mentions the dangers of letting rednecks play with anti-matter. I've been having a look at the Wikipedia and the University of Texas CEM site, and I think rednecks playing with electromagnetic launchers are even more fun. I want a compulsator! Those things rock! A power storage/supply unit that can pump out multi-megajoule microsecond bursts of electrical power is just what I'd like in the back yard. And these Texans were producing these things in the late 80's. Now I just want that article about reactors which use billiardball-sized balls of graphite wrapped around 10,000 tiny granules of Uranium.
Give it a few years, and we could nuke-powered Abrams with counter-rotating compulsators on the turrent powering the 50mm flux concentrator gun. Now that would be cool.
