The EMP threat is no different now than it has been for decades. Our dependence on the electrical gris is what makes it a threat. The EMP itself is not a threat to living beings. In truth we simply do not know how bad such an attack will be because we have almost no real world exeperience with EMP devices outside of small lab based ones. The only experience the US has was the Starfish Prime device used almost a thousand miles from Hawaii some 60 years ago. The USSR may have done some experimentation also but we don’t have that data. It’s a wild card threat. And certainly a much smaller threat to society than the threat posed by the DNC, the WEF and the rest of the criminals seeking to kill 90% of us.
Actually, there is a fair bit of data on the soviet EMP testing.
Electromagnetic Pulse -- Soviet Test 184 -- EMP (futurescience.com)
Note this is from 1962 and how TINY the warhead yield was used.
Note that household fires occurred often so expect such.
Snip It is clear from the data that has been released on the E1 component of the pulse that the thermonuclear weapon used in Test 184 was particularly inefficient in producing EMP. In all thermonuclear weapons, pre-ionization of the upper atmosphere from the gamma radiation of the first stage of the weapon limits the peak electric field generated by the final burst of energy; and it appears that the peak electric field produced by Test 184 was not much more than 10 kilovolts per meter over any point in Kazakhstan. If the weapon had been a simple single-stage pure fission weapon of the same yield, the fast E1 component of the pulse would have been 3 to 5 times the intensity. (Even the W49 thermonuclear warhead used in U.S. Starfish Prime test would have yielded a fast E1 component that was more than twice the intensity of Test 184 at that location.)
The radar and the radios that were damaged in Test 184 were probably all vacuum tube equipment. Other than small consumer transistor radios (which were usually made in Japan during this time and used germanium transistors), the only solid-state devices that were commonly used in 1962 were selenium rectifiers in radio power supplies. The Soviet Union always had difficulty in manufacturing silicon solid-state devices due to their inability to achieve sufficiently accurate temperature control during the fabrication process. Even today, Russia is the leading country in the manufacture of vacuum tubes, with Svetlana tubes of St. Petersburg, Russia claiming to be the largest manufacturer of vacuum tubes in the world.
So, I’d presume that with more powerful warheads DESIGNED for EMP, higher attitude detonations (Like the Chinese Balloon 60K altitude) AND that very little of our electronics are EMP resistant Vaccuum tube tech the results will be harsher by several factors.
Worth a through reading, especially about the US welded steel railroad tracks and EMP effects on computer-controlled items like Diesel-Electric Locomotives and switching devices.
The recent HAZMAT-Fire issue on the still burning train in the mid-west comes to mind.
Pray for wisdom and protect your family. The District of Criminals will not.
I have kept all my old tube test equipment, while all my solid state com gear is protected, I am still looking for tube com stuff.
Be sure to have old-fashioned test meters, as well as protected dvms.
Look for tube receivers, CB and amateur gear and spare diodes.
It never hurts to keep antennas disconnected, with lightning suppression.
Something that most don’t even consider, because it’s kind of a disgusting topic, is the fact that not only will the water supply fail (along with electricity, fuel, internet, etc), the sewer system will fail. Anyone on a sewer and not a septic is in for a very unpleasant experience after a couple of days (maybe longer if their home is at the top of a hill). The system will clog, then back up. All the way up.
Better think about a way to install a cutoff valve that will prevent this from happening.
Very few articles on dealing with waste of any type in a grid down. Disease and pestilence. City after two weeks? The stench would reach far into the countryside.
THIS is when a real pandemic will occur.
REDUNDANCY!! REDUNDANCY!! For heavens sake get out of the city!
Back in the seventies I heard the lament, “if there is a war I don’t want to survive”, that is fine but if you aren’t hit directly, death may take weeks or months and you get to watch family members suffer and die and then you get to know you could have prevented it!
An EMP is a likely event as we are at war with Russia! The Russians realize, throwing nukes around, poisons the planet, a few nukes and an EMP will do as much damage but will result in less fall out accept from the nuke power plants!
Listen to SP1 the man knows what he is talking about!
Parents don’t have that luxury.
Generators:
There are basically three types, the modern inverter type, regular ones and the older simple ones, gas or diesel. All should be disconnected from your home, when not in use!
The inverter types are likely to be damaged by an EMP and should be shielded as well as disconnected. The regular cheap one’s have some electronics and should be shielded also. The older ones with large generator housings and running at 1800RPM will likely survive an EMP, as well as older welder generators, with robust wiring. The diesel ones usually run at 1800RPM and are robust as well. PTO driven are usually robust also. Again all should be disconnected from the grid, and I mean disconnected, not just switched off.
The problem with any fuel generator, is fuel storage and cost. My 4KW older Kohler uses about five gallons of gas per day, I usually keep fifty gallons on hand. If I had the money I would get a 500 gallon propane tank and generator, as small as I can get by with!
Diesel engines are usually EMP resistant, or much easier to repair than gas!
I primarily use solar, with a generator for cloudy days. Remember one is none and two is one!
