Can we generate EMP yet? (outside of a nuke)

Of course we can. Have you not seen Ocean's Eleven?

Aegis cruisers can adjust the radar "beam" to a very narrow, and direct it at a single target. It can fry electronics on an aircraft from a certain range.

Popular mechanics once featured an article (and caught a lot of flak from some readers) on how to build an emp bomb for under $500. I think it was sufficient to knock out a city block (or larger area if you hit say, a substation)

So yes, its possible to do it without a nuclear explosion.

Heres a link. Not really a step-by-step, but probably anyone with some common sense and basic bomb-building knowledge could probably build it.

Oh, and the price was $400.
