The Congressionally chartered Task Force on National & Homeland Security (FNHS) will be holding a nationwide webcast on The Electronic Armageddon: EMP. The webcast is a combined effort of the TFNHS, The United West and the New English Review. There is a distinguished panel of experts, new videos and a discussion of solutions for addressing both man-made and natural threats.
LIVE STREAM EVENT -FRIDAY- AUGUST 3, 2012 - 11am Est.

Your solar panel’s wiring an circuitry is at risk. Keep spares in a grounded metal box, like a tool box. Spare circuits, not spare panels. ;-)
My home is in that red spot in southeast Idaho. We already have power outages during significant thunderstorm activity. Our fresh water is pumped from sub-surface wells using electric pumps. If the power fails, we'll be making regular trips to the river to gather what we can. Purification will be necessary.
“It is theoretically IMPOSSIBLE for any electromagnetic impulse to pass through any conductive barrier, even the metallic screen wire on the old “screen door”.”
Maxwell begs to differ.
Reminds me I need to get a metal garbage can as a Faraday cage. I found out recently current attempt is a fail.
“I’ve taught courses on this stuff...and your theory is correct...but remember that any small holes with conductors (wires, etc) leading into the “protected” space will allow the pulse (or at least selected frequencies of that pulse) to enter and do damage.”
At low enough frequencies, screen, even continuous foils will not stop a magnetic field from penetrating. It’s far more complicated than you are claiming.
We are getting an off grid system. Grid ties will get fried along with everything else.
The other issue is that the only factory that made those transformers in the US was closed. The building in Muncie, IN is being used to build locomotives. Any replacemens for any of the main transformers a power plants will probably have to come from overseas, unless the utility has spares which is unlikely.
The other issue I’ve seen was a freak loss and restoration of load at a power plant that resulted in the generator core being twisted. The plant did no trip. Everything was fine until the plant shutdown.On startup the generator has significant vibration issues which could not be repaired on site, The rotor had to removed and shipped out for repair.
We’re going to see lots of unusual events when the grid goes down and circuits are overloaded when they try to compensate.
No. Go back to microwave engineering class.
The intensity on the far side of a cutoff waveguide is proportional to the inverse-square of the distance where the intensity is measured. Depending on the frequencies that make it up, and its intensity, EMP will cause some problems with screened electronics.
But that ain't the main problem.
The main problem is the so-called E3 pulse, the long-wavelength geomagnetic currents that are induced in the earth and in long electric wires. Those are powerful enough to burn out gigawatt power turbines. Ask the Russians about that one.
Thanks to all for the info. I had to go without electricity for 29 hours due to storm damage and agree it is back to the stone age.
12 v.d.c. LED systems for backup seem ok for light, but all those other appliances are, as you say, goners.
It is a real problem that lead acid storage batteries are both expensive and short-lived. Static inverters are not bad.
“We are getting an off grid system. Grid ties will get fried along with everything else.”
There might still be trouble even on an isolated system. The wires leading from the panels (and perhaps the panels themselves) may act as antennas to harvest the EMP pulse, frying the charge controllers and inverters.
Most of this EMP talk is hype.
All signals weaken exponentially with distance.
If you try to calculate how many EMP weapons would be required to cover the country, you get close to looking at infinity.
Be afraid, be very afraid.
Most of the people listed above are well known globalist shills. I wouldn’t take their advise if it came with free gold bars.
I will be at work when it’s broadcast. Will it be available for later viewing?
