Effects temporary

burns out passives in electronics like a fuse

EMP effects are permanent

On electronics

to running equipment @kreskin1 right? turn it off, no damage.

b4 hand I mean...

Cars electronics are on if batteries connected

I’m not sure of that @Groot . There are induced currents that could do damage even if turned off.

I expect that if u are right next to it even equipment not running can be ruined.

That’s why ammo cans work so well. Fully shielded.

Need faraday cage

That works as faraday

Times like this, the old rat rod is king!

welp, anyone with a pacemaker is doomed then?

only way I am aware of to prevent damage from EMP...

very much @Watkig2

Put wire mesh on outside walls of house

Fortunately mine only fires when my rate goes below 60 @Watkig2

Grounded

welp, if my stepmom went near an emp she is diabetic type one and has a pacemaker

chicken wire is used to hold stucco onto wall's here in cali..

and sleep apnea lol

I'm diabetic type 2

diabetic type 2 runs in my dads family ik that much

My house has concrete siding

Mine too

That would work as a faraday cage @shai'enne , but given the magnitude of an emp, you’d likely need a solid metal container. The mesh wouldn’t be enough protection.

where would this emp going off

Over north America

so my computer and video game console go poof

Supposedly over all north America

amplitude of signal determines the effective geometry of faraday cage..

True

I think

so probability of it actually happening is?

I dealt more with ESD and nuclear hardening.

None

depends on where and how close emp is ...😂 no joystick control😂

lol

It would kill millions

Those who depend on electricity to survive
