Hopefully I'll be relocating in a few month, then I'll work on getting the house protected with these items. Thank-you

[@gregorythomas333]

Massive score...thank you very much Dr. Bradley!

Hi sorry it's off topic. I remember you said that a 2way radio is a good way to test a faraday. Do I need an expensive set or is there something cheap that would give a very strong signal? Any direction would be helpful . Thanks!

[@disasterprepper]

Actually, a 2-way radio is both good and bad to test a Faraday cage. The good news is that the frequency is in the right range. However, if you just use a set out of the box, it's way too powerful to block. It requires about 120 dB to block a good set of radios. I designed a Faraday cage tester that uses 2-way radios as the source and receiver, but it requires additional hardware. Check out kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpmQdJmGgt6Jh68.

I will be placing an order today for sure one question I have an indoor garden and I use ballast that run about between three and five amps well those ferrets work for those devices?

[@disasterprepper]

With a ballast (which just controls the levels of voltage and current typically to lights), you can use a broadband ferrite around the wire bundle. See disasterpreparer.com/product/emp-ferrites/. Just pick one that is large enough to go around the wire bundle.

I'll write this here because it's your latest video, the X class flare that went off the other day had a radio burst up to 750mhz, in 1 of your videos you stated solar type emp's from flares were low frequency, confined to the hf band!! Could you update us with faraday cage information for much higher frequencies please?

[@disasterprepper]

It's not solar flares that are necessarily low frequency. It is coronal mass ejections. Those are the solar events most likely to cause a large geomagnetic disturbance at the Earth's surface. Flares can cause their own issues, including hazards to those at high altitudes and radio interference.

I've got a question, my niece has a pacemaker, how will that be affected by an EMP or CMA, and is there anything I can do to prevent the danger to her? Thank you.

[@disasterprepper]

I did an analysis of a Medtronic pacemaker a couple of years ago, and it look like it would survive an EMP without damage. That was one particular unit, but it's promising.

[@19delta32]

@@disasterprepper thank you for your response, it actually makes me hopeful.

[@Bri_bees]

I built the largest EMP generator in the world back in the 90's , i don't know if thees products will work but they asked if i could build another one in 2017. :~O

[@houstonlady1]

How would we protect ourselves against a energy microwave weapon?

[@disasterprepper]

Even thin conductive barriers can usually block the energy.

[@heidipucci9078]

@empdoctor is that thin thing the ferrite you referred to in this video? Thank you

[@Dreadlockyx]

Would shipping to Switzerland be cost-effective given that you are US-based ? Thanks

[@disasterprepper]

It really depends on what you're interested in ordering. Usually, it's not terribly expensive to ship a small box of components, perhaps $30-$50 depending on the number of items.

[@Dreadlockyx]

@@disasterprepper Most likely ferrite beads and some gaskets for shielding boxes. Unfortunately, radios can't be imported w/o a ham license so I'll have to pass on your dB tester. Thanks for the reply !

[@disasterprepper]

@@Dreadlockyx Fair enough. Let me know if you end up needing anything.

[@harveyblack2699]

Awesome!

[@NickFrom1228]

I've been curious about various metalic paints. I see copper, aluminum and even the iron (paint for magnets to stick to). Have you tested these?

[@disasterprepper]

We tested about six of them a couple of years ago. Several did fairly well, offering anywhere from 20-40 of shielding, but some are very expensive to use for large projects.

[@NickFrom1228]

@@disasterprepper Ah interesting. It was on my mind because Lowes was clearancing their magnetic primer (stuff you paint on to make a surface that magnets would stick to). When I picked up a quart can of the stuff I realized it weighed around 2-3 times what normal paint does so I thought "man this has a lot of iron in it". Did you by any chance test this kind of paint or any of the "aluminized" paints like Rustoleum or anything else that a person could just pick conveniently in their local hardware store? I queried your channel for paint and didn't see anything but if you have a video on it I'd like to check it out. Thanks.

[@disasterprepper]

@@NickFrom1228 The ones we tested were all specialty paints, not offered at Lowes or places like that. One brand I remember doing well is YShield HSF54 and MAX54.

[@NickFrom1228]

@@disasterprepper Much appreciated. I'll see what I can find. Thanks.

[@TheGravygun]

question if something's not plugged in or powered up will it still fry?

[@disasterprepper]

While having a connection to the grid certainly causes greater risk, even disconnected items could be damaged. Anything with modern solid-state circuitry is susceptible to damage from an EMP.

[@jefftiger9258]

will your products work for solar flares more likely than an emp

[@disasterprepper]

The products are designed to suppress transients from any source, EMPs, solar CMEs, etc.

[@RealWorldReport]

Is this all month or just for the 4th?

[@disasterprepper]

We haven't set an end date, but it's probably for 1-2 weeks.

[@RealWorldReport]

@@disasterprepper Thanks, hoping you go till the end of the month.

[@adamgibbons8135]

can you please do a video on how good copper is protecting against an emp?

[@disasterprepper]

Do you mean a copper barrier? If so, I can tell you that it's very effective. Actually, and good conductor is effective... aluminum, silver, copper, etc.

[@adamgibbons8135]

@@disasterprepper what i mean is like what you do with the aluminium foil, I have started to make a aluminium and copper faraday cage and i am wondering if the copper is good enough to protect my most valuable things

[@adamgibbons8135]

by the way thank you for replying so fast it means a lot

[@disasterprepper]

@@adamgibbons8135 You can use any conductive material (copper or aluminum foil) to wrap a box. As long as you fully cover it, the box will give at least 50 dB of shielding (99.7%). That's enough for something inside to survive an EMP.
