“faraday cage “
Technical sounding term people talking about EMP love to toss around, makes them sound technical, but a farady cage against a partical wave has zero protection. E
ven when the military protects against EMP they do so because of direct nuclear blasts from 1/4 mile away and there isn’t a pinhole to be found in the welding. That’s right, welding. Their buildings are plated in 1/8 steel and welded and tested such that not a single pinhole is to be found. Of course, read what I wrote: Nuclear blast. They are protecting from a blast from a warhead detonated nearby, not high altitude.
bbzzztttt, try again. I used the term faraday cage because its a common term when discussing EMP. The devices known as a faraday cage certainly will offer protection against EMP.
I’ve worked INSIDE military facilities which were protected against EMP so there is certainly more than a pinhole in the welds. A 1/8 of steel will NOT protect against a nearby nuclear blast. Thats just silly. Having worked inside SAC Headquarters and also inside NORAD I am quite familiar with what it takes to protect against a nuclear blast.
A thin layer of metal will protect you against the EMP surge from a nuclear blast. All nuclear bombs create an EMP surge of some type. The bombs can be engineered to increase the EMP strength. EMP is line of sight so detonating the nuclear bomb in orbit vs on the ground, will increase the effective range of the weapon.
