The biggest advantage of this system is that the tank commander could shout "polarize the hull plating" all the time, just like in Star Trek Enterprise

I had an economics teacher at Foothill College in Los Gatos, CA. She was great and talked about how the US is resources rich but they are harder and thus more expensive to get and process. She said when it is economically infeasible to get the resources. When the price of those reousrces gets high enough extracting the resource becomes feasible. She used as an example gold mines in the Southwest. Most of the time they are closed but when gold hits a specific price point they get opened again. They are left in operational state so mining can begin immediately when the price is right.

Many factors involved. There just may not be enough private equity available from people that are interested. In the case of an abandoned gold mine, an investor might actually be able to mine more gold at a profit; however, theres actually other ventures with far higher return on investment (ROI). Rising prices caused by increased demand, low supply are the usual means of dictating where resources go... with the expectation of getting more resources back. In the usual capitalist free market model anyways. Far as the video goes, the current EM armor requires components that are just too bulky, fragile to fit on tanks not originally designed for it, and the tech currently doesn't really provide sufficient, all-encompassing protection to justify the costs involved. The tech is certainly "cool" and is reminiscent of Star Trek's "polarized hull plating" technobabble they used in lieu of shields in the Enterprise series (2001-2005). Though iirc the in-universe explanation differs substantially from what is now publicly known of EM armor.

Arguably, it would be very effective against plasma weaponry. For plasma to be effective as a weapon at long ranges, you need some sort of magnetic containment field, so that it doesn't spread, then radiate it's heat away before impact. A strong electromagnetic field discharged on contact would both disrupt that magnetic containment field, and force the plasma away from the tank.

One of the things I feel might happen with APFSDS is that it gets vaporized but since it's already moving so fast, it basically just turn it into a HEAT round.

A double tap would render the armor useless. The first munition would be dumb frag/sabot type to destroy the electro plate, the second munition would have the shaped charge. Both in the same shot/missile. These double tap rounds already exist for reactive armor.

@neurofiedyamato8763

Yes, but just like ERA, you have to sacrifice the primary charge size which reduces its actual penetration compared to a unitary warhead.

High power, yes, though generally only during the few moments it operates for, hence the need for some kind of energy storage device such as capacitors. Most of these things are limited by just how quick we can use the energy rather than by how long it takes to build it up. For instance, some of the US's railgun testbeds use large hybrid flywheel-alternator devices to develop the tremendous voltage and current needed to drive a projectile at rates comparable to good ole explosives. These things can be charged across minutes or even hours of time, but have to discharge in single-digit milliseconds (~2-5ms in the case of a railgun)

This is really effective at stopping armor piercing explosive rounds but a solid penetators best defense is just as you said 3 foot thick armor

I think it could make penetrator rods _more_ dangerous. The penetrators rely on extreme velocity to create a "physics crisis" on the target armor. Basically vaporized penetrator rod bits (and armor bits) can't get out of it's own way fast enough, and you get an intensely exothermic reaction which draws it's energy from the velocity. All of the metal involved ends up molten, vaporized, and a small amount even ends up as plasma. Basically what happens is similar to if you were to jam an arc-welding stick into a block of steel, except penetrator rods use up the whole stick almost instantly, and the energy source is kinetic instead of electrical. A high electrical energy input into this could make the effect-on-target actually worse. Adding ultra-high energy arc welding might "stack" with the potency of the rod, which is already going for a (somewhat) similar effect. (this is all armchair mind you, my backyard high-energy testing facility is out of order).

Main problem is that this technology will only work against shaped charge, molten metal missiles. You just need to hit the reactive armour with an HE round, destroy the plates and then you can hit it woth a shaped charge. Javelins use a double charge round.

This was a very interesting video for someone that has worked with electrical equipment for years and has an armor background. If you look up Arc flash videos you will realize how much power is really in the transformers and wire we live with every day. I could see this working using high density capacitors to store the energy vs a power system always having to supply that is a surge. The biggest issue would be what energy density can they get in the capacitors to hold all of that power for an instantaneous fault current high enough to do what you want it to do and still fit in the space available. The capacitors themselves could also create a secondary hazard to the crew if hit so the risk assessment would keep swinging back and forth adding complexities to the system. Look up man made lightning for transformer testing and you will see what this type of system would be doing in real life off the battlefield.

Looks like a system for defense against top-down-attacks without increasing the weight too much. Probably for a Merkava style of tank with conventional armour protecting the front glacis (and the engine below) and electric armour for the top of the turret (covering the rest of the vehicle).

I like that it wouldn’t even be surprising if Warthunder had some classified info on the matter

Interesting idea.

This was the video that earned my subscription. Why? The following references to... Star Trek, Star Wars, Aberdeen Md.,the Netherlands, Stainless steel/ nickel...

I love that just throwing metal darts very fast beats this armour. High tech armour loses to lowest tech attack

The design you described sounds like the armor works mainly by expanding super heating and ultimately decintigrating the munitions but what about magnetically repulsing/repelling the munitions? Adding sufficient magnetic repulsion would potentially neutralize the ballistic trajectory of the munitions by pushing the munitions back with sufficient force to overcome the velocity and stop the munitions mid flight inches or even a few feet short of reaching you. This would work against any and all munitions made of magnetically responsive materials from rocket propelled missiles to anti-tank bullets and beyond.

The biggest manufacturing complexity of EM armor is the capacitors. Extremely expensive, hard to source, and challenging to maintain if damaged. Those factors increase exponensionally when you factor in the rare-earth metal content of the fastest/highest discharge capacitors.

I love how the sponsored part just became another interesting topic lol

yk, if its intermittent and thin, you could theoretically design autocannon rounds that can soak up a ton of that energy and convert it to expansion extremely fast, effectively taking that armour out within 1-2 shots, and if the true passive armour beneath is thin to cut weight, youve effectively made your MBT hyper susceptible to autocannon fire.

That Warthunder joke never gets old.
