Sorry to tell you, but you wasted all your time and money. Very few electronics today would be effected by an emp. It was an extremely rare event when they tested the first bombs. And now it would be even rarer.Just plain old scare tactics. No truth to it. Don’t let the enemyies of freedom distract you from the real fight happening now by wasting your valuable resources on decoy worries.

And can you provide information Backing up this opinion. And ..not based on the strength of a lightning strike, but an E M P. Thx.

” Very few electronics today would be effected by an emp.”

Incorrect. The truth is that we aren’t really sure. EMP damages electronics by inducing a voltage across a semiconductor junction - something that usually damages the semiconductor junction. Electronics have dimensionally smaller junctions - so by this measure are more susceptible, provide a voltage can be induced upon them.

It was an extremely rare event when they tested the first bombs.

No it wasn’t. it requires only the production of gamma rays. gamma rays happen every time a nuclear weapon is detonated. if a nuclear device is detonated in the upper atmosphere - above 30km you ARE going to induce an EMP. Actually, according to research, the strength of an EMP is remarkably independent of the yield of a particular device. “Any Nuke Will Do” is the unfortunate fact.

“No truth to it.” You are wrong. What we don’t know is how strong the EMP will be for any specific altitude/device scenario.

All that said - we don’t know how much damage an EMP will do, because we haven’t had an opportunity to find out with an actual device against modern electronics.

An EMP is more complex than I’ve explained but it is no a hoax.
