Did Britain develop high-voltage armour, and what other electrical protection ideas were discussed?
Short answerHigh-voltage armour is recalled as an intended protective system. The answer also mentions proposed measures against magnetic charges and detonators, then gives accounts of electrified armour used to keep people off vehicles.
NotesSeveral different electrical-protection ideas appear in the answer. High-voltage armour is recalled as an intended system, followed by proposals concerning magnetic charges attaching to ships and magnetic detonators. A Bovington museum example introduces an armoured car whose armour could reportedly carry current when surrounded by rioters. Another panel member adds family testimony about electrified slat protection on vehicles in Northern Ireland. These accounts concern different threats and mechanisms, and the discussion does not establish them as one interchangeable technology.
