GrummelNet Flux Compression Generator

The Grummelnet Flux Compression Generator is a device found in Issue 5 (Multiple Organisms) of the Ratchet and Clank Comic Series.

The device was buried in Ratchet's basement on Veldin, and must have been there for some time, as Ratchet states he 'almost used it to make pancakes last summer.'. Upon landing on Veldin, Ratchet and Clank eventually stumble upon their house and hide in the basement from Artemis Zogg's warbots. With only minutes before they break in, Clank uses it to emit a Supercharged Blast of Electromagnetic Radiation, disabaling all Electronic devices within 50 Kilocubits, including himself.

The affects of the device are only temporary, lasting for a total of 60 minutes, then any robot who was affected by the blast will recycle it's CPU then boot up again. The device works successfully, and Ratchet manages to escape the house and make it to the Planetary Defence Center. Clank then wakes up, unharmed by the affects of the blast.
