I worked for a company briefly that specializes in EMP protection for the military. And from what the electric engineer said was that the more metal the EMP signal has to travel the less dangerous it becomes to the electronics and that even some modern vehicles would be ok even after an EMP attack it just depends on how much electronics the car has for example vehicles model years 96 and below would probably survive with minimal damage but the newer ones would be screwed.

​​@@mcqtomm the whole point is less electronics. It's not like there's a finite year where the car would be fine. Points and condenser could be fried, it's less likely but possible. The more electronics you have the higher the chance a capacitor gets blown. Tough part is the EMP actually hits the wires, if the wires are shielded, the wrong length, etc, the car will survive. Odds are the rebound will blow the hardware through the wiring regardless of shielding. Keep spare parts.

@@jtdubi3 It's not as clear as all of that. Lightning passes through the car 99.99% of the time. The car will start and keep going. We're talking about an EMP and frankly we just don't know. The EMP is going to have a magnetic wave bouncing all over, if it energizes the car and goes to ground you're fine, if it hits the wiring of the car all bets are off.

Gentlemen, it’s 2023 and faraday cages have come along way. They now have faraday cage fabric that you can put up like a tent, they’ve got bags, and they even have faraday blankets. The easiest and best way to EMP proof your car/truck/bug out vehicle is to buy the faraday cage fabric and put it around your vehicle target points on top of putting the fabric as insulation in your garage. My uncle is not a prepper, but he went through a stage where he thought he needed to have some supplies on hand. he has some extra money and I was the first person in my family to go to college, falling in love with science. We built in his shop where he has his hunting/bug out area/man cave a EMP proof area. If you have the resources and the space, I would highly recommend that you build an EM proof area and leave all of your stuff in there so you know without a doubt that that area is protected. Whether you have a spare vehicle even if it’s a $500 vehicle or whatever you have out rigged as your battlewagon or hunting vehicle that you build a standalone garage/shop type area and put the EMP fabric. Now to reinforce if you want super peace of mind you can build into your shop a real faraday cage, then put the EMP blanket around the equipment. That is the most sensitive. So you’re doubling up you have all your sensitive electronics let’s say in a safe or whatever you can double up the EMP blanket over that with the faraday cage built around your shop and you have created a hard point that nothings going to get through that. I would just recommend doing that because anybody can make a faraday cage. It’s not that expensive and takes very little research on KZbin to Make.

[@TypicalShitShow]

Do you have videos you put together showing the set-up you built? It might help us all get our creative juices flowing. I had a thought about trying to make the standard metal storge cabinets you can buy from big box stores into faraday cages but I'm a bit fuzzy on where I'd have to grind down to bare metal and how I'd seal cracks, hinges, etc

[@domkelly1972]

A Faraday cage would not work by wrapping it around components. If your garage is a real Faraday cage then the tyres are rubber and the floor is not conductive so the car will be isolated from any current so no need to wrap anything further. The emp will travel through any exposed cables though even if you wrap components in anti emp fabric. Such as a battery charger connected to the car. The problem with this device is it might create a ground loop. It might work if the ground was something other than the car. I have protected micro electronics against emp from high frequency welders and it's not easy, even though the emp is not as strong as it would be if there was an emp attack. If you want to wrap you components up you will have to disconnect all the cables aswell. Any cable outside a Faraday cage that comes in will allow excessive current inside the cage and destroy any electronics it meets unless that cable is also fitted with a emp suppresion system..

The EMP Commission's 2008 report noted above is one of the few published studies that specifically addresses the effects of an electromagnetic pulse on both cars and trucks, in particular with an eye on whether the pulses would destroy the low-voltage electronics prevalent in then-modern vehicles. Pry, one of the authors of the report, said that no other report or study on an electromagnetic pulse's effects actually subjected cars to pulses and he's not aware of any similar study since then. As noted in the report: "We tested a sample of 37 cars in an EMP simulation laboratory, with automobile vintages ranging from 1986 through 2002. Automobiles of these vintages include extensive electronics and represent a significant fraction of automobiles on the road today. The testing was conducted by exposing running and nonrunning automobiles to sequentially increasing EMP field intensities. If anomalous response (either temporary or permanent) was observed, the testing of that particular automobile was stopped. If no anomalous response was observed, the testing was continued up to the field intensity limits of the simulation capability (approximately 50 kV/m). "Automobiles were subjected to EMP environments under both engine turned off and engine turned on conditions. No effects were subsequently observed in those automobiles that were not turned on during EMP exposure. The most serious effect observed on running automobiles was that the motors in three cars stopped at field strengths of approximately 30 kV/m or above. In an actual EMP exposure, these vehicles would glide to a stop and require the driver to restart them. Electronics in the dashboard of one automobile were damaged and required repair. Other effects were relatively minor. Twenty-five automobiles exhibited malfunctions that could be considered only a nuisance (e.g., blinking dashboard lights) and did not require driver intervention to correct. Eight of the 37 cars tested did not exhibit any anomalous response."

EMP will fry the circuits immediately and having some wires to a battery will not stop that. Think of it this way, if you shuffle your feet on carpet, and then touch a light switch on the wall, you will experience the shock before the surge can get to the power panel and have it trip the main if it was that sensitive. The damage has already been done at the switch. Same with a vehicle CPU. The charge in the atmosphere will zap everything equally It would be a matter of chance that the charge in the atmosphere tickles and trips the EMP protector before the car circuitry. If it fails, how are you going to get your money back?

That’s an interesting analogy. A problem I see with the comparison between the two is the difference of how electrons move in a static DC environment (rug example) and an AC (EMP) environment. As another poster mentioned, it’s not easy to model these complex EMP events. USA and Russia both performed several simulations decades ago and that’s the data tables scientists still use to this day. We understand them in mostly theoretical (circa 1960’s) terms- long before our world became dependent on microchips. Frequency, exact duration and distance from any EMP will play the most critical roles whether or not our vehicles will be able to start afterwards.

[@ToXXicgaming]

Take the battery out 30 mins before the nuke hits itll be fine

[@Roadking1965]

To Protect you vehicle from an EMP event, you would have to cover all wiring and ECM module with wire mesh or a complete covering of metallic foil to prevent EMP from generating current in the wiring which would overload the ECM module (brain box). Many of the wires coming from the ECM carry very small currents and voltages going to sensors and ignition components. All your wiring will act like an antenna, charging the wires far above the voltages the ECM module can handle and will burn it out. Many of these devices sold for EMP protection contain a device on each wire lead called a MOV ( metal oxide varistor). These devices work by shorting an overvoltage condition for a short time but often times the MOV will be destroyed in the process or retain a residual resistance after shunting an overvoltage which would affect performance of the ECM module to run the vehicle so it's probable that this device would have to be removed after a protection event. I am an electrical engineer so i have had experience with MOVs and seen what they do when overload conditions exist. Each MOV in this device should be fused in case they short out after clamping the higher voltage, some MOVs will actually destroy themselves after clamping high voltages or the cicuit board traces of the MOV module will burn out trying to hold massive currents when the MOV clamps the voltage spike. Just FYI.

[@MrJameric]

They make a canvas cloth that has steel mesh incorporated throughout the material. It's pretty expensive and comes in 59 inch wide rolls. You can sew or glue it together for a "tarp" that will cover your vehicle and the ground around it.

[@ChefBoyarDEEZ]

What if you ran like 4 - 0 GA ground wires from like your negative battery cable to the earth, or from like a chassis ground to the earth, or maybe at all 4 corners of the car? Would that possibly be able to give a path of least resistance to the emp? So maybe when you park, you just get out and ground, at home you could put a quick connector of some kind on there. Obviously when your driving your screwed but what ya gonna do. As I wrote that question, I realize I may be way off the mark here but hopefully someone will explain it to me.

[@Roadking1965]

@@ChefBoyarDEEZ that would make your vehicle wiring act even more like an antenna and still wouldn't protect the ECM or Traction Control unit from getting spiked. Covering the car with a faraday cage( screen wire basically) would provide some measure of protection but remember, a magnetic field that strong would go through screen wire also. Imagine throwing a rock in a pond, the waves created from the force of the rock world make waves and those waves are close to how you would visualize magnetic waves from an antenna pulse but more closely imagine a doughnut shape growing bigger as it travels away from the EMP source and an EMP pulse from an atomic bomb would be like an asteroid hitting the pond at 100, 000 mph for comparison. You could just keep you vehicle in a metal storage building, completely enclosed, even the floor too so as to redirect the magnetic wave. The metal building would create a bubble around whatever is inside it. The building itself would get very hot due to the currents developed in the metal but this would absorb the pulse mostly. The building would need to be made of ferrous metal like steel to most effective and all panels would have to be bonded to each other very well. I used to work on RFI (radio frequency interference) shield rooms for testing electrical power cables at up to 100, 000 volts at 20 amps and the rooms were covered inside and out with sheet metal that was soldered at every joint and the whole room (20ft x 20ft) had ground rods at each corner going 20 ft into the earth.

This is a very complex topic. More than likely your vehicle will survive a solar flare 'carrington event' and maybe even an emp. Depends where you are. EV's are another issue. If they are plugged in getting charged when it hits...done. But most of those chips in your car don't have a damn thing to do with whether your car will run or not. In fact, pick the ones that do, and buy a replacement and put it in a faraday bag. Once the last nuke has gone off, and most of the world is destroyed you can put it in and go for a drive. The issue is the grid. EMP's....well, if nukes are being set off....the problems are too numerous to even speak of or list or predict. The consequences are literally immeasurable.

If you are running a diesel then you'll be fine. You can run old low octane petrol in a 50-50 ratio with used motor oil out of the oil pans of cars and as long as you filter the motor oil it'll run fine through a diesel motor without doing damage.

DISCONNECT YOUR BATTERY BEFORE EMP FOLKS.. The video is helpful . The easy solution is disconnecting your battery

[@___HH___]

Disconnecting your battery will not do a thing to prevent the EMP from ruining your circuits. You'd better rethink your strategy.

[@tmonroe85]

It's painful to listen to him try to explain this. Here, let me try. A radio transmitter (normally) transmits enough power in a narrow frequency band that a signal (radio program, TV show, radio control, etc) for an antenna to receive a small amount of current - enough for purpose of the signal (the same whether its a radio broadcast, cell phone signal, garage door opener, over the air TV, whatever). An EMP is somewhat similar to a radio transmitter, except instead of a narrow band, it transmits on an extremely wide range of frequencies. Lightning is an example of this - if you've ever been listening to radio during a lightning storm and heard interference - this is a small EMP, and it will interfere briefly with all radio frequencies (so no matter where your radio is tuned, for that brief spurt, the signal from the lightning is stronger). A Nuclear bomb EMP works like that only it is 10's of thousands of times stronger - so instead of making a blip of static, the interference will damage the receiver. The signal is so strong, that it doesn't actually even need an antenna to do this - every piece of metal (think wire - each wire in a circuit) will act as an antenna and pick up this pulse which will then travel along the wire, seeking an electrical ground and burning out all the electrical components it travels through along the way. Since every piece of wiring acts an an antenna, the electronic doesn't have to be a receiver (it could be a computer, or your car's electrical system) - and it doesn't even have to be turned on. In the Navy, the radios I worked on all had components strategically placed in them to divert damaging high voltage pulses to ground. Another approach to this would be to make what's called a Faraday cage (basically a big metal mesh box that's connected to ground), and put your sensitive electronics inside it. I'm skeptical about this EMP shield. I think at best, it might protect the car's computer, but there may be other components that would prevent a car from being useful (think electrical fuel pump, all the fuses (for sure), probably even all of the lights would be burned out by an EMP).

I'm a little skeptical about an EMP event affecting shielded condutive material (i.e., wires and circuits made of aluminum, copper, silver, gold, and so forth). Exposed conductive materials (i.e., wires and circuits) are another matter and may pick up the free-floating electrons. But so would our bodies, which are less conductive. It's important to note, however, that an EMP event is not believed to be harmful to humans. Furthermore, when a cardiologist was asked about the effects of an EMP event on a peacemaker, for example, the doctor stated that the pacemaker would most likely remain unaffected because it's shielded. The same would be true for the wires and circuit boards in a vehicle because they, too, are shielded and are designed to work in rather harsh conditions of heat, cold, and moisture.

I've worked on many of traffic signal cabinets struck directly and indirectly by lightning. And they all have lightning and over voltage arrestor wired in. I have never seen the electronics completly survive a direct lightning strike. I've seen power company high tension lines touch a traffic signal ariel line and fry everything in the intersection including the light bulbs( LEDs). My opinion is these arrestors maybe better than nothing, but not full proof. A car is a Faraday cage in itself, thus protected from lightning. Who really knows about EMP protection proof!

[@research903]

Cars are NOT Faraday cages. Search "car lightning strikes" on KZbin for examples. A Faraday cage or Faraday shield is an enclosure used to block electromagnetic fields. A Faraday shield may be formed by a continuous covering of conductive material, or in the case of a Faraday cage, by a mesh of such materials. To a large degree, though, they shield the interior from external electromagnetic radiation if the conductor is thick enough and ANY HOLES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY SMALLER THAN THE WAVELENGTH OF THE RADIATION. Windows are very large holes; they do nothing to block electromagnetic radiation. The wavelengths of the pulse from a nuclear blast are very short. So, a solid metal sheet would be needed to shield anything effectively. For example, certain computer forensic test procedures of electronic systems that require an environment free of electromagnetic interference can be carried out within a screened room. These rooms are spaces that are completely enclosed by one or more layers of a fine metal mesh or perforated sheet metal. The metal layers are grounded to dissipate any electric currents generated from external or internal electromagnetic fields, and thus they block a large amount of the electromagnetic interference. ANY WIRES extending OUTSIDE of the mesh will act as ANTENNAS and conduct the electrical energy into any device to which they are connected. In that case, a LIGHTNING ARRESTER on each of those wires MAY provide some protection in that case. I have never found where this device or any like it have been independently tested in an EMP environment. Those testing facilities are very expensive to build and operate. The only ones I know of belong to the US Gov. Some utility companies have facilities to test their equipment against lightning strikes but that is a completely different beast.

[@karlschulte9231]

There is an antenna that is just a slot in a metal surface. Amazingly it is called a "Slot antenna". The longer the slot the lower the frequency it receives/ radiates. On jet fighters for example. So the hood to fender gap becomes one down to around 28 MHz. CB hello. To avoid this multiple grounding points along/around hood are needed. Ground exhaust pipe at multiple points. Car doors. Use phospor bronze spring contacts. Then use the device shown. Or get an old car. Laugh at emp. At home get an old microwave oven, cut off cord (emp path) and store back up cell - use for info storage. Chess, Bible copy, first aid, maps etc. etc. - sw/bcst portable, small ham radio, battery charger and small solar. Microwave is totally sealed for RF.

[@bobailanjian3700]

Exactly that. There have been several tests, using cars up to 2006, if I recall. They ran them through an EMP generator, and all but one either continued to run or restarted. The one that didn't start immediately, did so after some "minor" unspecified repair. Last thing I saw on the subject estimated that between 10 and 20% of vehicles would be killed totally, while the rest would run, but subsystems like radios, lights, and a/c units might fail to some degree.

Removing any sensitive electronics from a source of power and draining the residual power out of the electronics after would also protect against emp.

Not exactly. The incoming power you're worried about in an EMP is a radio signal that will be propagated along any wiring (or anything conductive).

@@bryanlewis7732 exactly, at best this device is an over-engineered surge protector.

It's all about impedance. With any electrical device. If this devise can provide the impedance and reaction time needed to shunt the spike it will work because it is technically a part of the entire electrical system in the vehicle or home or whatever...

Well let’s all hope that we never have to find out if this thing will work or not. I realize everybody’s concerned with bugging out. However, it really doesn’t matter if you have a vehicle that can take you to another location, a bug out vehicle, if you just got exposed to large doses of radiation. You now have radiation poisoning and you’re going to die a very painful and what you will consider too slow of a death. Let’s be realistic here. If there is a nuclear explosion, a country that sends a nuclear bomb to another country, the whole world is getting nuked. It’s not like one or two countries are going to send a couple of bombs towards each other. The whole world is going to get involved and every country in the world will have nuclear weapons going off in their country, several of them. There really will be no place safe. Even if you have a bug out plan and great stored resources if planet earth is in a nuclear winter and massive amounts of radiation are all over the entire planet your best hope is that you were close enough to where one of the nuclear bombs went off that you died so quickly you didn’t even realize you died. I had a physics professor who also taught World War III to the US military. When we got to the Chapters dealing with radiation and nuclear bombs he first said that we had to stick with just the textbook information because he couldn’t really give out any information that he taught to the military. The next thing was that he can appreciate all the hard and amazing work that preppers do. He said, however, that he really doesn’t think they fully realize what’s going to really happen when every nation that has nuclear weapons sends them all out to hit all the different countries. He was the one that first told me that if a nuclear war occurred to get as close as I possibly could to wherever one of the nuclear bombs is going to impact. He said that you don’t want to be alive afterwards. He said the ones that die instantly are the lucky ones. The ones left behind are not going to be feeling so lucky.

Thank you for this video, it's so important, but I wonder how much our governments, US and UK have thought to harden essential equipment? Power stations, emergency vehicles, communications gear, computers etc. I'm not being over dramatic when I say that EMPs now will be used as a weapon and can be made artificially by bombs and not only the sun. I do not expect too much equipment is 'hardened' in the UK which is frightening. Spare parts to fix all this equipment will probably have to come from China and Taiwan. Deliveries are already being disrupted by strikes at ports, but the hold up to get parts after an EMP will be very long and possibly never arrived, depending which countries are affected. I'm making my Faraday cage for my electronics better this weekend.

Sounds like another gimmick. So all your fuses will be fine? All your small gauge wires will be ok? Doubt it. What happens when your entire vehicle is electric? How does the body handle emt? We are all electrically charged inside and out.

@@EMPShield I don't know enough about this to really have any opinion on the claims being made. But following that link you show just seems to indicate that you are a partner for an academic research center, is there anything you can share that shows that these have been tested by some sort of federal/standardized body and has been independently evaluated to pass the claims that are made?

[@PunkNPetty]

I’m not sure if this is a dumb question, but would an EMP affect batteries? Like anything from a AAA battery to a car battery?

[@icn3d]

With all due respect those wires look awfully small and I don't think you fully understand how an EMP works I hope you didn't spend much on that. Also you might want to put a bike in the back of your truck just in case.

[@EMPShield]

we get that question a lot. It comes down to speed. The wires will be just fine because of the speed the device is able to shunt and the induction rate the vehicle will have. The device shunts at 500 trillionths of a second and continues until the charge is dissipated. EMP Shield is currently working on the grid pilot program. Here is a link showing our partnership with the United States Nation Security Collaboration center - nscc.utsa.edu/partnerships.html

​@Benjamin Fletcher First your perception of how a EMP is going to effect your vehicle is incorrect An EMP is going to hit the entire vehicle at once meaning all the sensitive electronics are going to be exposed to the EMP blast at the same time as the shield rendering it useless. Second Electric current produces heat proportionate to the conductor and the conductor's conductivity. A small wire is a small wire an EMP can be astronomically larger than huge. It doesn't matter how fast the unit is if the wiring can't handle the load it does however, mean the wiring in this unit will burn out 500 trillionths faster than the rest of the electronics effected by an EMP blast. Shinny object Vs reality. If your looking down the barrel of a loaded and charged gun when the trigger is pulled during a flood that your drowning in how effective is body armor?

@@EMPShield can you show us any paper work about the DOD tests on this product?

[@scottstevens2752]

Great explanation sir!

[@glenwaldrop8166]

Skeptical, I get the feeling that we may find out... Best of luck. Maybe I'll meet you on the road in my old ass car.

[@StealthyNomadica]

I got one for my SUV quite a while back. I would hate to be traveling in my vehicle and have an EMP or CME knock out every vehicle in the entire area. There won’t be any LYFT or Uber drivers available. I would hate to have to hoof it in the snow for 20 or 30 or 50 miles. Since I don’t have any way to test the device, I have to rely on the testing that they do which is military grade. They guarantee their devices for home and vehicle use. That said, if my vehicle is still running when everyone else’s is down, I’m suddenly going to be very popular. So, I have a plan for that as well. My rig is outfitted to sleep in it for a couple of weeks if I have to and provisioned with everything I need to get by and survive until things quiet down enough for me to drive more safely. If the product works, it’s a good product, but if it doesn’t work, it’s not that expensive so it’s Insurance that increases my likelihood of prevailing under those circumstances.
