I'm an Electrical R&D Engineer. They basically operate using Zener Avalanche Diodes. Their theory is sound...IF you have an earth Ground to dissipate the high voltage spikes that an Electrical Magnetic Pulse produces. When I called EMP Sheild to inquire about how they operated in an electrically isolated DC system with no reference to Earth Ground, such as a vehicles electrical system is, I received a stammered through, bull shit explanation about a "tornado effect", I understand their theory here, I don't see it protecting as advertised.......However, in a home electrical system, I can see it functioning as advertised, because you have a place to dissipate the charge, an earth ground....but we are talking about a DC electrical system that is Electrically Isolated from earth......and again, we are talking about Nano second reaction times. Everything in a modern, Microprocessor Controlled Vehicle, now with even more microprocessors. Everything references the Vehicles Frame Ground. Their theory is to "loop" the high voltage spike until it dissipates.....I'm going to have to call Bull Shit on this one. IF...IF you connected a chain, Copper Wires....something....that hung below the vehicle that at least touched the earth, then I believe this has a better possibility of actually working. This video did nothing other than act as another "Look how easy it is to install". Without testing it accomplishes nothing. I don't give a crap if the DOD bought a million of these, the Military Vehicles are not setup the same as Civilian Vehicles, and several of them have chains that touch the ground when stopped or parked. Look next time you see one. The government used to spend $1300 on a ballpeen hammer....not a comforting reference....

As the warranty states $25,000 equipment cost replacement. I've been working as a low voltage engineer for after market electronics from radio P25 EQ to emergency management systems. The issue is about EMPs. EMP (ElectroMagnetic Pulse) isn't a directional event in nature. If it happens it is a world wide issue and a event that will more than likely change our futures forever. If its a natural event from the sun, then i would call it a brute force attack on our entire electronic/electrical systems from low voltage to our extremely high voltage transmission switching stations that deliver our electrical energy throughout the world. With a coronal mass ejection which includes is a solar storm that deliver's a high energy plasma charge into our atmosphere. Our last noticeable event was in Canada in 2012 but you probably didn't know the event happened since Canada took the brunt of the storm, But in 1859 a large solar storm caused destruction to our newly formed telegraph system throughout the United States. Most of the hardware was burnt to a crisp and either burned in a fire or just melted. this event was witnessed world wide, but not many countries had telegraph systems. So, these little boxes will save the day, which I highly doubt. It doesn't matter where you would install the device, it just will not stop a brute force attack that high energy plasma will find its way into a cars electrical system causing your cars computer to short and die. The cars computer is a seal aluminum cased unit, but the wires that run throughout your car will act as antennas funneling these highly charged plasma energy right into your computer. The only real sure way to protect any electronic device is to place it in a faraday cage which will allow the electrical charge to fixate around the item inside the cage. Do not ground a true faraday cage as the cage will then act like a antenna. Always remember anytime of electricity DC or AC looks for only one thing in its life. The fastest path to ground. Now, Lets talk about these EMP Shields. If you are so lucky to be apart of a solar flare event with a high plasma coronal mass ejection that hits the earth, that company EMP Shield will not be in business anymore. The business itself is selling a product that once it fails, its going to fail big. So selling a $300 device until a CME happens is just a roll of the dice. The company is betting that during the life of the business that a CME will not happen. If it does happen, its just not your issue only, it will be the 200,000 other EMP Shields that will also fail. As they say get in line as your peice of the pie during its payout will be less then a penny! So they are betting on your paranoia and your prepping check list that you will have the sense (not commonsense) but peace of mind sense. Hey if it makes you fell good enough, pay the $300.00, but just don;t come crying when your EQ doesn't work anymore. Lets talk about Thermal Nuclear War and its EMP effects. When Talking about a nuclear device blowing up in the upper atmosphere, its trying to create a Carrington effect like a CME, but its going to be a lot weaker then a CME solar flare. But the one thing it does have is speed. Without getting too technical you want protection in the nanoseconds for at least two or more times in protecting electronic devices. Those surge protectors you by a WM or TRGT are similar in design and they do a relative decent job when lighting strikes as lightning does create a localized EMP of short. But its the speed of the device that will protect your equipment. According to EMP Shield its the fastest commercial EMP device on the market, maybe, maybe not. But you can build one your self just as fast has they do. You can create a large faraday cage that is EMP proof or build a fast reaction surge device under $50.From Ferrite suppressors, MOV's, Bandpass filters etc. Theres a host of on-line circuts that you can build for pennies vs. buying a $300 device. Oh, By the way, if someone detonated a nuclear warhead 200 miles above us, I can bet that again, once you find that your EMP shield failed, As you just can't bet the farm on a single device installed in a vehicle protecting the hundreds of wires leading to devices and computer that act as a antenna causing a death short or that your 6 flat screen TV don't work anymore in your house. Well, lets just say your going to have to wait until the war is over, which shall be short, but I suppose the customer help line will be lacking that human element. I'm sorry for such a long response, but I want to make it clear that these miracle devices to save the electronic world are nothing more then a miracle dream, as you will sleep better knowing that if you spent $300 on a protection device that it will work, OK Gumby, I do have some swamp land that isn't swamp land that you need to buy to put your underground shelter in. What you can do is buy a metal trash can, throw all your Electronics in it and seal it air tight, I just saved everything for you costing about $14.00. Good luck to you all. Bear, I think you are thinking the same as I, what the hell is in that box!

[@36w3s.talbot4]

@@nunyabizness1257 a farady cage doesn't need to be grounded as it's designed for energy to freely navigate over it's protective cage. If you ground your cage you create a potential difference between the cage and ground. More likely attracting more energy to flow on the faraday cage. While a farady cage works, your not try to see just how much energy you can get to flow over it before bad things start to happen. Think of a potential difference like this. Why jump off a vehicle with live wires on the chassis vs. One leg at a time? You create a circuit by causing that potential difference. A farady cage is a shell only and should only be used as such. Now two things here, whatever devices you have inside the cage should not be connected metal to metal. Your device should be in a insulated blanket or a insulated ziplock bag to keep the metal structure of the device from touching the cage as anything metallic would become a part of a farady cage. Also, look at aircraft, are they grounded, no. Aircraft are the most attracted objects flying through the sky either creating a charge or flying into a charge, they are built EMP harden just for those purposes. That's why it's hard to bring a modern aircraft down due to lightning. You will read about safety of humans in a farady cage. If your cage is that big, I would recommend a purpose built insulated suit as you don't want to become a part of the cage. If you build a cage around a insulated airtight box then your devices or yourself will be 100% safe. But once you insulate then you become a part of a antenna to ground circuit of attraction, not a good thing. Better to be in a 737 at 29,000 feet.

@@ryanclark8257 if it's a $400 to $500 unit like mine you are really wasting your $ and time. There are numerous MOVs in there encapsulated in epoxy. If you don't know what that means look it up and save your $.

[@fiskfarm]

There are movs (metal oxide varistors) encapsulated in epoxy inside the box. Nothing to see even if you got it open. I used to install these on electrical panels as a master electrician about 20 years ago. I had a high voltage unit on the main panel in a very large fish factory in New Bedford Ma and the electric company screwed up and over voltaged the plant due to faulty equipment. Well the unit, which looked exactly like these, did it's job and clamped (shorted). Had it been a pulse all would have been fine but it was not a pulse but a long duration over voltage so the unit overheated and exploded. It then carboned up the entire huge panel full of $800 breakers and shorted every breaker in the panel with carbon resulting in thousands of dollars worth of damage. We subsequently rented a Drantz unit which records everything that happens on that line and proved it was the electric provider's fault but the plant had to be shut down for the day and the total loss was like $30,000. I asked the mov company owner what happens when you encase red hot wires in epoxy and wasn't that the definition of a bomb? He couldn't answer. I have one of those units on both my panels here. I inadvertently tested them when a motel customer just up the street from my house called to say they had suffered a line pulse that had wiped out their $7000 telephone system. Well I had just had to reset my two 20a breakers that morning and I was puzzled as all get out as to why they had popped. We were hit by the same pulse and the unit had done it's job. No damage at our house at all. The motel had me install one on their service that day. So there you have it. They work for a pulse👍😎👌I

Being almost March 1, 2023 has your opinion changed since install of this EMP Shield?

[@research903]

I spent over 20 years in the USAF working with highly classified comm equipment. All the gear and the vehicles in which it was installed/transported were completely EMP shielded (MIL-STD-188-125-2 - Transportable Systems). When you raised the hood of one of those vehicles, you did not see any wires running in a loom. You saw solid metal tubes with very short, very heavily shielded flexible sections terminated with water tight Amphenol connectors. This even included all the lights. The lights were even layered with what looked like a flat screen wire. The buildings in which the equipment/vehicles were stored were also EMP shielded (MIL-STD-188-125-1 Fixed Facilities). Radio signals could not propagate through the buildings. None of the commercial, handy-talkies or man portable radios (PRC-25) could send/receive when in the building. I have grave doubts that the "EMP Shield" they have for retail sale could even begin to match the performance of any of those systems. Especially with all the antennas (unshielded wires) coming out of the devices and those of the items they are supposed to protect. One added benefit of all that shielding was that the vehicles were rated to ford water up to 2 meters deep, already had the elevated intake/exhaust. We all thought that was silly since at that dept the only thing above water would be the drivers head.

[@sobelgar9289]

This magic box might work if your vehicle is running, but when the ignition key is turned off their are multiple circuit’s that are now isolated from this box. For example the fuel pump circuit, the wires go from the relay box under hood all the way back to the fuel tank, the wires will get charged with electrons and will find ground through the fuel pump motor windings destroying the pump. You would need several magic boxes wired in to all the vehicles separate key off circuits to protect it. And a eight foot ground rod driven into the earth connected to the vehicle body or frame.

[@racciacrack7579]

@WILL I AM D IV No, I have not, it is more of a future possibility among other home ideas. I’ve been keeping an eye on a lot of building techniques, trying to see if shipping containers would be the best approach. I think a combination of shipping container(s) with other building styles would be nice. Also the shipping is another factor. A lot of the base prices are lower, at $1,200 to $2,300, yet the shipping is typically around $5,000. I’d say if you can find shipping containers with a low shipping cost consider it (but I’m am definitely NOT an expert in any sense of the word).

To compare this product vs the Eaton whole home surge protector: EMP Shield: $369 105.5kA surge, Voltage protection L-G 270V, L-N 270V, L-L 540V. or the Eaton CHSPT2ULTRA for $90 108kA Surge, Voltage Protection L-G 600V, L-N 600V, L-L 1000V, N-G 800V. Eaton is the clear winner on performance and price. Of course the Eaton doesn't have the MIL-STD testing but that is a moot point. In the event of a high altitude nuclear detonation the EMP wave will be coming into a home from the power grid and the internal wiring at essentially the same time, flooding surge across the circuits. A better use of $400 would be to cascade surge protection devices at the main power panel ($80), sub panel ($50), AC ($70), and then use strip surge protectors ($10-20 each) at the outlets. Google "cascade SPD" to see the various testing and papers on the topic.

Eaton is way too slow. It would work with a solar flare, but not E1--it would be fried before E2 even arrived. I don't know about the automobile version, but I have installed these on some hill top facilities that have let electronics survive a lightning strike. Eaton would be toast.

[@bigdog8008]

@@innocenty1bystander Not sure how you can say that. The 'Eaton' and 'EMP Shield' have the exact same response time -- 500nS. NOTHING survives a direct lightning strike. But both could survive an indirect strike depending on how far away and whatever else is in the path. The EMP Shield box and Eaton box have nearly the same current shunting capability. In fact, the Eaton box actually has a slightly higher surge current rating so I cannot possibly see how the EMP Shield version would do better. A newer and better solution would be the Siemens FS140. 40% higher current surge rating than the EMP Shield and the Siemens FS140 is cheaper.

At the most it might save the battery from the field effects of an EMP but the rest of the electronics would be fried. I know this as I have worked at places that make EMP hardened semiconductors. 3. As you mentioned the only way to test would be able to test the WHOLE vehicle at one time to a EMP field "DOD". 4. Who is going to hold them for false advertising after SHTF. ???

[@Kriss_L]

The way an EMP destroys stuff is that as the magnetic wave/pulse passes a conductor, it induces a current. If the resultant current is too much for the circuit to handle, something fries. To protect against this, the circuit needs to be isolated from the passing wave/pulse. A faraday cage allows the current to build up on its surface, thereby preventing a current buildup inside of it. A strong enough field could pass through, but nesting multiple, isolated cages, may provide enough protection. What a couple of wires and a magic box would do, or how it could work, I would not even hazard to guess.

[@paulduncanson9898]

Wires and other stuff is typically rated for CONTINUOUS power. Run 400 amps through a 14 AWG wire and it will burn up very quickly. Run 1000 amps for the less than the 1usec maximum duration of a T1 EMP pulse and it won’t even get warm. Faraday cages don’t need to be grounded. That can even cause problems in many cases. If they did need to be grounded, they couldn’t protect circuitry in military planes. The idea behind this is that what matters is the max voltage across a electronic device, the max current Through it and the duration of the event which determines the power dissipation. The other factor is does the protection circuitry have a fast enough response time. A T1 EMP pulse rises in 1 ns and is over before 1 us. If it can shunt the high current for that time. Years ago when I designed this stuff for military aircraft, MOV’s were not fast enough. But that was a long time ago. There may be modern devices that are and can dissipate the power which is not that much. As that work was classified, I really can’t say more. The other question is if the inductance of short wire runs is high enough to effectively isolate the EMP protection device from the circuitry. Haven’t had time to do those calculations. Many experts say solar panels will survive a CME or a HEMP. Some say only the panel blocking diodes will be damaged and that could be easily repaired. I keep spares of all electronics in Faraday cages. Usually at least twice and often 5 times what I’m using. The sources EMP Shield supplies are impressive and it may vary well work. I have money and may buy some. I don’t understand how it can protect car or house electronics that are turned off. But, these are complex systems and trying to model them with simplistic models can give false results. Metal cases and short wire runs may be enough protection. At this point I’m not sure. More analysis is needed. Frankly all the analysts that I’ve seen here is lacking. Remember the 1859 Event had those long wire runs. Having my ranches completely on solar with back up Generacs makes me more secure. The power grid scares me.

Tip: you can build one of these for about $10 using parallel TVS diodes and some wires.

[@Yhrim70]

Questions... why is there Zero videos anywhere (that I can find at least) where someone has torn one of these things apart? There are videos of almost any other device out there where someone has torn it apart and showed the guts and even how it works, even starlink satellite dishes. But no one has torn one of these down? Or at least no one has torn one down, made a video, and that video wasn't deleted....?? **How do we know it isn't just some wires with a green led light covered in epoxy? Its not like we're going to go back after an emp and get our money back. ****Also how do we know that this isn't a device thats true purpose is to make preppers "think" they are protected from emp, when they aren't? Again, we won't find out until its too late. And no, in my opinion we shouldn't care about "dod" or whatever other "government/military testing" certifications and ect. ***Further, from what I have heard from other channels, although these are supposed to protect from a lightning strike... it will burn the unit out.... a standard surge protector will do that. So how does these units burn out from lightning strike but yet is supposed to protect from emp? -->I'm not saying these don't/won't work, just asking questions how do we know they will work? And that we're not just wasting our money and putting our "faith" _(so to speak)_ that a device/car or electrical system is protected, when it actually isn't? new sub btw. good channel

[@TROU1984]

If that happens you get a replacement for $50 what other options do we have?

[@Yhrim70]

@@TROU1984 i agree. Since my original comment, I've actually bought several of the EMP shields for different items plus I installed one in my house and one over at my Dad and Moms house. I come to the conclusion that if things still get fried by an EMP, then I did all that I was able too. But if I didn't get these, and an EMP happened and fried everything, then I would regret not getting the EMP shields. So I'd rather pay the $ and hope they work, then to regret not getting them. Shortly after I installed one on my Dad and Moms house, their house got hit by lightning. First time that had ever happened. It burned out the EMP shield, as they said it would, but didn't damage anything in the house including their new refrigerator and washer. So if it protected that, it paid for itself. And yes they did send me a replacement. They do have good customer service.

The pulse is distributed on both sides of the device at the same time, if you had a large enough toroid coil to set up a counter emf but the pulse effects all surfaces at the same time so I am some what leery, so what do you do if it does not protect your devices send it back? just put away spare parts in a faraday cage for after the event.

People had better be VERY careful about this device. I have one on my breaker box and I have no REAL idea if this thing will work, or not. However, I also attached one to my solar controller and it immediately damaged it. I had to replace the controller at $750. The previous controller was working just fine until I attached that damned EMP Shield. It then discharged my batteries and incorrectly caused the controller to display them as fully charged. The replacement has been working just fine. They wouldn't even call back to see what was causing the trouble. Do NOT put this thing on ANY solar or wind controller as you might experience the same situation and wind up replacing your controller.

[@larrya7822]

I'm retired lab. tech. and I have done time responses before. How are you timing its response to the time of spike to the time of open circuit ? In the lab, We used a multi channel oscilloscope to judge the difference.

[@bigdog8008]

They are simply using the manufacturer provided response time of the inner MOVs which is 500nS. This is not time to open circuit, it is response time of the MOV to start clamping the high voltage. If the box is hit hard enough by a big spike, it simply blows the 20A breaker to their suppressor. From then on, the rest of your equipment open to future hits.

[@richgarrett4082]

See Admiral Grace Hopper explain a nanosecond. The wires are over 11.8 inches (distance light moves in a nanosecond) the reaction time will be limited by the length of the wires. Can't have a reaction time less than a nanosecond. I see the green wire coiled in the video. This would act as a significant inductor at high frequency.

[@-jimmyjames]

Pretty sure that only having items unplugged and in a faraday cage will help as any circuitry even just metals are excited by emp and electrons are oscilated rapidly frying microprocessors etc as the emp pulse move thru materials. So yeah. Even unplugged electronics fry. No common. No ground needed.

[@bjbuckley6108]

how dose that stop an emp from going through your whole vehicle ? dose a metal cage fly out and cover the vehicle

[@joek511]

It's a surge protector, by the box size, some beefy super capacitors, electromagnetic switch or switches. DC unit easy, AC would require a rectifier. Think of a lightning strike. How fast is it? How long dose it last? Same principle, the problem is, the energy is coming from everywhere., not a single point of entry. I don't believe it will work. You would need ground wires hanging off your vehicle

[@silvertailfins]

Looks very suspicious to me. The green wire and the black wire connect to the same exact circuit! The ground and battery negative are one in the same on EVERY car, unless you've got something made before 1960 that's positive-ground. The effectiveness could be tested with a very, very large Tesla coil, although that still wouldn't be as powerful as an actual EMP.

EMP Shielding is a LOT more than, an "Interrupter", folks! It is actually much better to have Spare Computers in a Shielded Metal Container, Ammo Cans, are good! The Hinge, and all openings MUST be sealed with Metal Tape, making contact with Bare Metal, upside down, and then Sealed with a Layer over that! As any Circuitry acts as an Antenna, and fries the Electronic Components inside! I have worked with EMP Shielded, Mil Spec Devices, being in Ground Radio Electronics, and Aviation (Avionics) in my 22 Year, USMC Career, and Several More in Rocketry Manufacturing! Certain Circuits, Crucial to Safety, even the wiring is Shielded! There are many Military Books Available that deals with this, and since this is "Supposed" to be MilSpec, rated, I'd like to know who was hoodwinked into that Purchase for our Governmental use? I won't even glance at the "SO Called, White Papers" To me, this is all simply a Bogus Product, that I'd only endorse, if they Installed it on one of my vehicles, and had them "Tempest Test" it! That is a very special building that EMP's can be Generated in, safely, and Demonstrate their claims! Doubt that was performed??? I'll stick with my Spare Computers! As far as Household items, just forget that! All Electrical wiring going to any device, and the device itself, again, acts like "Absorbers" of EMP Frequencies, or an "Antenna", if you will! Yes I am Skeptical, I'll just say that! But hey, if you take comfort in it's effectiveness, shell out those Big Bucks! LOL

On Second thought, IF, this is used in Conjunction with a completely Shielded, Computer, on Vehicles, and is Terminated where the "Interrupter" here, is, it may work? I'm Still wondering just how to do this with a Whole House Setup? If the Company could share that with me....I'm game!

[@bodysnatcher8122]

An electromagnetic pulse (EMP), also sometimes called a transient electromagnetic disturbance, is a short burst of electromagnetic energy. Such a pulse's origin may be a natural occurrence or man-made and can occur as a radiated, electric, or magnetic field or a conducted electric current, depending on the source. EMP interference is generally disruptive or damaging to electronic equipment, and at higher energy levels a powerful EMP event such as a lightning strike can damage physical objects such as buildings and aircraft structures. The management of EMP effects is an important branch of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) engineering. Weapons have been developed to deliver the damaging effects of high-energy EMP.

[@randyscott4478]

[@kevinkall8547]

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?

[@kratkyhomesteader9043]

[@SurvivalReadiness]

I'd like to consider myself a jack of all trades including electrical but I don't see what the purpose of that shield does. It's just 2 wires going to the battery and one chassis ground. It doesn't interupt the power to the vehicle ecu (computer) or interupt the power from the main battery. I get the idea of what it should do, but don't see how it accomplishes it. I would have been more impressed if you had to cut and splice the power wire from the ecu into the shield box, or if the box was a buffer between the battery and the vehicle electronics. I guess I'll have to look at their site for an explanation of how this is supposed to protect from power/emp surge before plopping down any money on one.

[@shadowbay22]

My first job out of college was working for the DoD doing EMP testing on the B-52 and B-1B. It was a fantastic job, I had a semi trailer to myself with all the latest tech and toys. The EMP Pulse is so fast basic solid state devices don't really do anything (they are better now vs 30 years ago). The only protection for a device not grounded is shielding - the energy has to dissipate. The other protection is careful circuit design to block or minimize the transients - very complicated. EMP will just reboot your devices in most cases, you don't have to worry about it. If you experience an EMP then the world is is shtf mode and the least of your worries.

Why on your truck? Because if it does something stupid and fries the entire electrical system in the middle of nowhere, you want it to happen to you, not her and the kids. Because you're taking one for the team. But I'm also super curious what's in the box. I mean, if the switch throws fast enough and sends the surge to ground, maybe? But all I see is a black box that is in parallel to the rest of the circuit(s), so failure would just be a drain. If there was an EMP I just don't know if the ICs will survive. Only need a couple components to get zorched and it doesn't matter what all survived. There is so little hard data that isn't buried to death.

[@wraith67]

Hard to say what will work or not, there's not a lot of EMPs to work with, certainly not the kind you'd get from an ICBM over the Midwest. My understanding of an EMP is that it creates the voltage in the lines, so attaching something at one end of a line isn't really going to stop anything. The vulnerable part of your truck (my truck) is the ECU (probably wouldn't hurt to have extra fuses) - the paranoids really worried EMP all suggest having an 1970s truck with a carburetor, others say that if you really want to protect your stuff, have it in a fairly well sealed metal shed (aka Faraday cage) - unless you have something tied in pretty close to your ECU, I don't think it would do much, every segment of the wiring harness would develop the surplus charge which has to go somewhere, either a fuse or an end item (light bulb, ECU, heater, AC, etc). You can make a Faraday cage out of a metal 5-gallon bucket with lid and with insulating material inside, I would imagine you could stuff some comms and electronics in there along with a spare ECU and fuses and probably be good to go till the gas ran out.
