If we used an EMP over North Korea, would they ever notice?
I mortgaged the house and bought 2 commercial freezers and 4 large homeowner freezers, maxed out the credit cards to fill them with four years of food, and wrapped the electrical cords in aluminum foil, so I’m pretty much covered for whatever North Korea can throw at us.
Michael Maloof is simply wrong. 1 EMP weapon at high altitude over the center of the nation would not destroy the entire electrical grid.
It is much more complex than that.
Has to do with field density and other parameters. It might under ideal conditions destroy the electrical system in a 500 mile area. Possibly.
But not the entire nation.
It is a sobering prospect, but not the death knell.
Haha. Weirdly, I watched this last night. A little better than people gave it credit for.
Some people think the satellite launched into orbit could deploy such a weapon and we’d have trouble stopping it. Others don’t think the satellite is big enough to be carrying such a thing.
Whatever the case, you should be vigilante. Remember, the Chinese HAVE been probing our computer systems. Its perhaps the case that you wouldn’t need an EMP to shut our computerized world down. In the meantime though, I see Obama’s regime as a bigger threat than Kimmy’s.
Read “One Second After”
The movie quickly died and now can be found on any sharing site. Most of the people on the file sharing sites don’t even like it.
When all your computerized cars stop dead in their tracks my pickup and my 36 Chevy hot rod will still be running!
Why would Russia, China, or N. Korea risk a war with America when they can just sit back and watch Obama destroy us from within?
The spike from an EMP device is similar to a large single pulse from a very powerful spark-gap transmitter.
Basically you charge up a bank of capacitors to 2000+ volts and discharge across a small gap. The rig I saw had a sort of short dipole with the gap at the center. It was discharged inside a large metal shipping container. The pulse did fry modern electronics. The pop from the discharge was very very loud outside the container...I can only imagine what it was like inside.
If the rig had been discharged outside the metal container the rf pulse would have been detectable thousands of miles away on an hf receiver as a static pop.
The leads and copper traces of the tested electronics had a current spike induced in them from the pulse... every piece of electrical conductor worldwide has current from rf sources flowing in them. This is how radio works...but when the current is very large it will damage modern electronics in much the same way that you can ruin your computer if you are poking around inside and a static charge jumps from your hand to the circuitry.
There are small non-nuclear weapons that create short-range EMP effects. They use the power of an explosion to create the short pulse.
Life will get kinda rough if/when an EMP knocks out ALL electrical and electronic devices.
Bank ATMs, automobile batteries, home heating thermostats, home computers, telephone service, radio stations, television stations, and on and on.
It wouldn’t take an all out nuclear attack to bring the perpetual American partee to a screeching halt.
But, of course, Obama would blame Bush, or the Republicans, or the Tea Party, or bankers, or gun owners, or anyone and everyone but himself, even if he couldn’t broadcast his asinine speeches over the airwaves any longer.
...
Solar panels are also massive EMP antennas. Because they are giant diodes with long wires to gather the current, they will be rendered worthless in less than a microsecond.
The original was better.
It was better for many reasons, personally I liked that kids just kids were able to pull it together and make the enemy suffer.....kids who before only cared about football and dates.
Would he do ANYTHING to protect our Republic?
