The Christofilos effect, sometimes known as the Argus effect, refers to the entrapment of electrons from nuclear weapons in the Earth's magnetic field. It was first predicted in 1957 by Nicholas Christofilos, who suggested the effect had defensive potential in a nuclear war, with so many beta particles becoming trapped that warheads flying through the region would experience huge electrical currents that would destroy their trigger electronics. The concept that a few friendly warheads could disrupt an enemy attack was so promising that a series of new nuclear tests was rushed into the US schedule before a testing moratorium came into effect in late 1958. These tests demonstrated that the effect was not nearly as strong as predicted, and not enough to damage a warhead. However, the effect i

Christofilos sugirió que el efecto podría tener un potencial defensivo en una guerra nuclear, ya que serían tantas las partículas beta (electrones) atrapadas que las ojivas que atravesasen la región se verían afectadas por corrientes eléctricas tan grandes que dañarían su electrónica. La posibilidad de que unas pocas ojivas amigas pudieran interrumpir un ataque enemigo era tan prometedor que se hicieron una serie de nuevos ensayos nucleares antes de que entrara en vigor una moratoria de las pruebas a finales de 1958. Esas pruebas mostraron que el efecto no era tan intenso como se habí (es)
