A Grummelnet Flux Compression Generator was a device that emitted a supercharged blast of electromagnetic radiation at a radius of 50 kilocubits.[1]
Clank's E.M.P.[]
After Ratchet and Clank escaped from Artemis Zogg's warship and landed on Veldin, they eventually stumbled upon their house and hid in the basement from Artemis Zogg's warbots. Clank found a Grummelnet Flux Compression Generator in the basement. Ratchet had the item for several years without knowing what it was and had almost once used it make pancakes.[1] With only minutes before a break in, Clank uses it to emit a supercharged blast of electromagnetic radiation, disabling all electronic devices within 50 Kilocubits, including himself. The affects of the device were only temporary, lasting for a total of 60 minutes, then any robot who was affected by the blast recycled it's CPU and then rebooted.[1] Ratchet managed to escape the house and make it to the Planetary Defense Center. Clank then rebooted, unharmed by the effects of the blast. The device may have been missing a few components, as Clank placed some sort of aerial on top thereof and then wrapped a piece of wire around it - alternatively the parts could have simply fallen off.[1]
