EMP doesn’t blow fuses, it blows chips.
What protects chips from absorbing the charge? What is that little thingy that your computer is plugged into? How does it work? Why do they recommend that you connect your electronics (including your TV) to those little thingies with the extra outlets in it?
As I understand it (and I don't claim to be an expert), an EMP amplifies or nullifies the charge that exists in a circuit. But the amplification by % is equal based on what amperage is flowing. Then, products are designed to ground (protect) other components.
I don't understand the magnitude to which a chip running .05 MA could be surged to with an EMP. 15 amps? 1 amp? .10 MA? I don't believe it is like the same bolt of lightning striking every single component at the same time. But enlighten me.
Forgive me for being skeptical about all alarmist potential. These days, I don't trust "studies".
