Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system for triggering improvised explosive devices (IEDs) with an alternating magnetic field. In one embodiment, the magnetic field is produced by a magnetic field projector in the shape of one-half of a torus, the half-torus being composed of several conductive segments referred to as toroidal wedges. A poloidal current flows in each toroidal wedge, producing a magnetic field that is projected by the half-torus. The magnetic field may induce a current, producing heating, in a conductive loop in an IED and triggering the IED.
