[@matthewcaughey8898]

Ok there’s a big thing I need to mention here. It’s that the EMP thing is a very old myth that continues to make people believe you need older equipment to survive. It’s not true and here’s why. New Mexico tech did a study a few years back and they repeat it every few years as cars get redesigned. Their outdoor EMP device was used to test a number of modern vehicles for resistance to a pulse. The study found that most vehicles if shut off durning an EMP will have no serious damage from the pulse. Running vehicles will shut off but can be restarted almost immediately. There might be some other non essential systems knocked out like the tire sensors or the radio or some of the safety sensors but the core vehicle systems will be unaffected and it will remain 100 percent operable. The reason is that a car is essentially its own faraday cage and it’s insulated from the ground via the rubber tires. Car computers if you think about where they are usually located are also insulated internally and are very robust internally they have to be. They have to withstand 160 plus degrees in 90 plus percent humidity for months at a time, followed by months of extreme cold with endless heating and cooling cycles. Stands to reason they’re going to be a lot more resilient then people give them credit for

[@markmcflounder15]

That sounds like they're testing resistance against a lightning bolt & not an EMP. How did they reproduce the EMP?

[@markmcflounder15]

Actually, it just dawned me. There's a difference between a solar flare EMP & nuclear. From what I've read appliances & cars would be unaffected by a solar flare but the transformers & grid would get fried. But, a nuke EMP would fry everything. So, did study differentiate between the two?

[@spacecoyote6646]

These things look like the surge protectors and not EMP protectors

[@asificam1]

EMP would damage the boards as well depending on the exact frequency of the EMP's pulse wave (the wave length as the wave washes over any circuitry). No shunt can protect against the boards and even the chips themselves being washes over by the EMP wave. These may protect from a longer wavelength pulse which uses a lower frequency wave which is a physically longer wave that washes over the wire harness and creates a voltage... assuming the current doesn't get shunted through the battery or other parts... here's the thing, your car is a faraday cage on wheels because all the wires are surrounded by metal which is both circuit ground and is slightly earthed via the tires and some coupling to the soil below you. To protect the delicate electronics, you'd need a spark gap and/or a MOV (Metal Oxide Varisor) on *each* wire that goes into each electronic circuit in the car along the CAN bus and other parts of the wire harness as the power wires are usually filtered because automotive 12V circuits are noisy, dirty, and voltage will sag and spike violently as the alternator cannot maintain a steady 14 volts when the RPM and loads are constantly changing, it simply can't adjust field coil current fast enough for the delicate and precise electronics, so they have their own solid-state converters that are laser precise and can hold a constant(ish) voltage with only a few milli-volts of ripple even if the alternator voltage is bouncing between 9 and 14 volts constantly. So the power wires, especially by the battery which is the thing that stabilizes voltages for you most of the time anyway, is pointless and a waste of time. I kid you not, wrap tin foil sandwhich wrap around the ECU, and any other important electronics, make a good connection from the metal foil to the car body, and then put MOVs and/or spark gaps on all inputs and outputs you can't keep shielded. Foil that is grounded to the body or the negative terminal of the car battery (they're connected together at the battery anyhow) will act as a decent little faraday cage and will severely dampen all electromagnetic waves that pass over then much like how your car's metal body protects you in the case of a direct strike by lightning, conducting the energy safely around you to ground rather than through you to ground. This of course all depends on how much distance you get from foil to circuits as the dampening drops off with distance (that is closer to the center of the cage is way way more damped than the outside) this is why your microwave has mesh on the door, it contains the 2.4 ghz waves so you don't cook you hands, the glass gap keeps you away from the mesh so that the dampening can take effect. The exact distance needed to block 99.9999999% of the energy depends on the largest hole in the foil and the wave length that hits it, but a few centimeters (or an inch if you're dead set on the dumb units of measurements) should be enough. Just wrap a spacer like some foam and then wrap the foil and then shield the wires, twist the wires carefully, or place MOVs and spark gaps on the wires and you'll be fine. OR you could drive the car into a metal container at night and that grounded metal container like a seacan will block all most all wavelengths or almost any power from reaching into or out of the car.

Seems much like the gas tube shunts used in telecom for lightning strikes, except they can dump excess voltage to actual ground.

A great idea...for the seller. 1. Make a device that has a very good warranty....which of course when the event happens you have no way of claiming the warranty. 2. The testing on the devices are NOT tested with the amount of EMP we would experience. 3. Lets assume that the devices work, there is a huge EMP and your car is one of the very few that works. How long before everyone else try's to take your vehicle by force? Everyone from local hoodlums to law enforcement to government agencies need to confiscate it? So you have a vehicle that works but can't drive it anywhere. Having a running vehicle paints a HUGE target on your back. 4. You have to also consider there will be nowhere to get fuel if the power grid is down so what you have stored is all you will have. That's why I have a smaller atv because the 250 get around 75 mpg. I have an older 250 cc. atv that has very little electronics on it and I have ordered all spare electrical parts and have the stored in a very good Faraday cage. If an emp or cme hits then after a good wait I will swap out the old parts and be good. The plan is to stay away from people and just use the atv to haul meat back from the woods.

The strap has a trace wire in it to discharge built up static , like the grounding wire that must be connected before refueling an Aeroplane . Some branded tires also have a carbon in them to fix this issue . If you want to make your own "EMP Shield" device , it's called a capacitor Oh wait your ECU already has caps in it to fix this as the ignition and alternator boot out so much voltage ripple it makes a solar flare look like a match stick 🤣🤣🤣

[@christopherleubner6633]

The real issue is the voltage inducing on control wires. With an EMP all the wires are going to act like an antenna. The battery will be seen as a dead short to the EMP. I built an EMP generator that creates an E1 and E2 pulsed field. At that power and frequency everything is seen as a capacitor and inductor. The SKIM module will be toast as it has a large antenna coil.

[@asificam1]

Depends on wavelength of the pulse. If the pulse is a long length, then the wires all pick up a voltage depending on their orientation to the field waves, but if it's a short wavelength, then the voltage will be sky high across say 1CM (1/2 inch for Americans insisting on using antique units) of wire but will be 0 across a longer section of wire and then back to sky high as you move the probes so they fall on parts of the wire that are at different points of the wave... but the net current flow induced (and therefore voltage) should be low or unpredictable for the devices attached on either end. placing some cheap MOV (metal oxide varistors) on each wire to ground with a spark gap for absolute stupid amounts of voltage would EMP proof the cable and attached devices against long waves and some short waves, then again, so would twisting the wires around a "ground" or some form of differential wire as is used by differential signaling for long distances to avoid noise and electrical impulses (See USB cables, thunderbolt, displayport, ETHERNET, and even modern telephone wires especially if they are used for DSL internet). Failing that you could shield the wires not that differently from HDMI, Thunderbolt, Display-Port, and Cat 6A ETHERNET, a simple tin foil shield that is grounded would all but EMP proof the wires. Trouble really arises for shorter wavelengths. If a long wavelength hits your ECU, the entire ECU sees the wave at once and the difference between each side is quite small, a tiny tiny tiny portion of the total amplitude or wave height, so tiny that it won't hurt it unless a wave hit it that was so powerful it would also melt the car's body from the induced currents... at which point whether the ECU is fried or is literally burned by the molten body is fairly irrelevant. TO protect against this, the best way is a faraday cage, either park inside a metal container that is grounded, or wrap the ECU in foil and ground that to the car body, for the extra paranoid you can drop a ground wire from the body to the earth and drag it behind you if you care for extra grounding than what is possible through your tires. An EMP weapon I assume would either use a long ass wave length to damage the power grid... but would only blow fuses and the lines would be fine, it would suck for anything not surge protected though, like what happens to the grid each time a bolt of lightning strikes near the wires but not a direct hit, that creates a massive surge up and down the line. Fuses would blow and leave us in the dark. But if there are short wavelengths too as I assume some weapons may generate either intentionally or unintentionally, these would physically be about the length of the ECU or even the chips inside the ECU, and as they wash over the ECU they would place an extreme induced current across all the ECU parts both forward and reverse currents which create back EMF from the solid state components acting as diodes and blocking the reverse current... this then blows the chips up. Need to wrap the ECU and other computers in a faraday cage to prevent this, probably easiest and cheapest to use aluminum foil sandwich wrap.

[@christopherleubner6633]

@asificam1 yup that's what I noticed it did. Emp simulator was built from a spiral line driving a fractal style HDTV antenna with a bit of copper clad as the ground plane, then used a small satellite dish to stack the modes on top of each other. The center was tuned using an inductor. All of it was submerged in transformer oil. The thing made pulses that peaked well into the MV per meter range and had a rise time of about 4nS with ringing lasting for a few tens of nanoseconds. The most expensive part was the oil believe it or not. The HV generator itself was made of Bakers and chefs heavy duty foil rolled like s jelly roll with several turns of the outer foil in the middle. A spark gap made of ice maker tubing was the switch that triggered the pulse. Electrically it acts like a tidal wave that creates a massive current that when it hits the shallow bits it becomes a tsunami of voltage that is compressed in time. Rise time is 60ns. This hits the fractal antenna and all sorts of nonlinear effects occur creating everything from microwaves to AM bands, these are all stacked by the dish on top of one another compressing the EM pulse further to about 4nS rise time.. fast pulses of powerful RF like this do not see electronics as anything other than capacitors, inductors, and antennas. ❤️

[@asificam1]

@@christopherleubner6633When you make varying wavelengths you get varying effects. A long wavelength would have little effect on the smaller circuits because if the wave is tens of meters, then the tiny hand size circuit is across a very small part of the wave and so only gets a tiny tiny tiny voltage, but a larger circuit like the grid can see the full voltage of the wave. The reverse is true to shorter waves. At the right wavelengths, electronics act as inductors and capacitors as you say, generally these effects become a problem when the circuit is about half a wavelength in length, at that point you need to treat signals as radio waves not as currents. Having a spiked square wave is probable the most destructive as square waves cannot and do not exist anywhere except on paper, so the universe imposes some bandwidth limit which creates high frequencies with a massive spike and then dip as it rings and overshoots. A square wave is basically made of infinite frequencies and so will generate all frequencies that your system can oscillate at. If the receiver can't oscilate at those high frequencies then you get higher amplitude ringing artifacts for even more destruction.

Toroid chokes block transients very well. That's why they are installed on almost every cable I own. They also block specific frequencies. Even DC is not static when it goes from off to on. A Zener Diode is a specially doped diode that allows an amount of current and voltage "the wrong way" but blocks the rest.

[@bojiguy2005]

Essentially the first device uses an MOV (metal-oxide varistor), the MOV, essentially acts as an avalanche diode and will shunt a high volt to spike to ground. There are so many things wrong with what you’ve said in this video it’s hard to even begin to address them. Vehicles don’t have a neutral. They have a ground. There is a difference between, a neutral and a ground in conventional AC electrical systems however, in a vehicle, there is less differentiation between the neutral and the ground. This is because the entire chassis of the vehicle is assumed to be ground in most vehicles. In this condition, there is very little electrical potential difference throughout the vehicle. If we look at the second solution that you are implementing, which is a ferrite based approach. This is referred to as a choke in electrical terms. That approach works by reducing transient spikes. If you think about what you’re doing here, the goal is to get transient voltage shunted to ground. However, by adding the second solution, you are actually inhibiting that transient from passing through the ground cable back to the battery and to the MOV, that’s attached. The result is that you are combining two solutions that should not be combined in that manner. I believe if you wanted to add the choke on the positive terminal it may be helpful in reducing the amplitude of a high frequency spike. However, a much more effective solution would be to install an inductor in series with the positive lead from the battery. Similarly, you could build a much better power control system by adding capacitors in parallel with the battery. Those things would be much more effective than the approaches used here. Various people have commented here on whether or not this solution could be tested. I believe this could be tested using something like a very large Tesla coil. The thing I would point out is that you really need to keep all of these transient away from all of the digital components in the vehicle, which would be , an incredibly difficult thing to do. Those types of things need to be addressed at the engineering stage of each one of those components. Things like this are commonly done routinely by using a ground, plane in circuit boards and by using proper power supplies within those components. However, when you start throwing a few million volts at a vehicle that doesn’t actually have an earth ground. The entire chassis of the vehicle will be energized in the event of an EMP or high voltage situation. I believe at very high voltages you would experience an arc to ground as the spike occurs. I generally think while people may be wanting solutions like this, that these solutions are probably ineffective, since there is no earth ground on a vehicle. On the other hand solutions like this are common in data centers which are carefully engineered and which have an Earth ground. The problem in theory is that the EMP is transferring energy to electrical devices through radio frequencies. So, in order to deal with this, protected electrical equipment, such as data centers need to be encased in Faraday cage. Ships in the US military have radio rooms that are especially designed to deal with EMP and the lengths that are taken to protect those systems are extraordinary. Sadly is very difficult to replicate anything even close to that in a vehicle.

[@genabuksuet]

[@nonokodog622]

After reading some thoughtful comments and responding to a few, I think I've wrapped my head around this a little better. Do not shunt high voltage to ground on the battery. If that did work, you'd be creating a negative really high voltage on the positive. Remember that Voltage is short hand for "potential difference", or Delta V. If put 100KV on the black wire then the red one will read -100KV. But really, the whole damned chasis is what's getting energized by ions in a solar flare or EM waves in an EMP. So how would "grounding' the ground help ??? I think the clear choice is the toroid clip on chokes added all over the vehicle. That will probably fuck up my trucks radios and do I'm not going near that. But I also don't think a vehicle has enough surface area to gather enough voltage to matter all that much. I am more worried now about my home. Good video.

[@spockmcoyissmart961]

The Red is + positive, the Black is - negative, the Green is - negative in your car. Nothing goes to 'ground' since your tires isolate the vehicle from the earth . You have created a circuit between the positive and negative dumping any 'surge' back into the battery. That is how I see it electrically. I'll guess there are Mosfets in these little boxes to absorb the surge.

[@steveolive9991]

If your vehicle survives an EMP attack, that wouldn't do any good because you will need gasoline to power your vehicle. Gas pumps use an electric motor to pump the gasoline from the ground tank into the fuel tank in your vehicle. The EMP will most likely wipe out the electric motor in the gas pump, so no gasoline is going into your vehicle's fuel tank.

Several of which were blown open. Fact, if anything is directly hit by lightning, there is nothing that protect any electronics in that item. If a static spark one gets from walking on a carpet floor and the touching a metal object reaches a voltage of around 8-10 thousand volts to jump a gap of 1/4 inch, well that lightning bolt just traveled a mile plus to discharge that static imbalance will be well over several million volts and about one thousand amps plus. Nothing on todays market will protect an electronic item. As for EMP'S it is dependent on the size and altitude a nuke is detonated in the atmosphere as well as to lateral distance to you.

I just don't see how this would actually work compared to a full House in EMP shield. The reason I say this is because the full House goes to Earth ground the car has no Earth ground. The chassis and the battery are pretty much almost at the same potential so the juice from the EMP would have nowhere to go. When you look at the house it sends it straight to Earth ground which makes more sense. But when you have a car that has four insulated tires all it does is stay in the car. Now I did see somebody say you shouldn't have to worry about your car from an EMP. And then another person I see that had posted one time that EMP shield never did any testing for a car like they did for a house.

I am not an electrical engineer but I am really confused by this. As I understand it, any electronic item that has wires attached to it is at risk as the wires would act as antennas for the energy of an EMP. So we have shielding devices supposedly protecting the battery of the vehicle which by design should be safe anyway. However, none of these protect the wires going to the ECU or the computer for the transmission. So how do these items keep the vehicle running exactly?

[@genabuksuet]

[@evorider4133]

Please explain how this works. Because I don’t understand how this works. A DC system doesn’t have a neutral. Only a positive and a ground. Now I understand that a neutral in an AC system makes its way to earth, ground, but is a completely different system. Your vehicle isn’t grounded to earth. And shunting the voltage to vehicle ground, won’t that just put the voltage into the negative side of the battery and every other electrical part in said vehicle? I’m not trying to be difficult but I don’t think that this item would work the way it is claimed to work.

[@asificam1]

It doesn't theoretically, if there was a voltage that was say either backwards or a voltage that was way way too high for a cars 12 volt system (so above the usual 14 volts the alternator makes to charge the battery) these devices claim to act like an AC surge suppressor and its MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors) which short out the high or reverse voltage and drain the energy before it blows up the electronics. Here is the issue, ALL signal wires will also pick up the signal wires, and the 12 volt power wires are themselves filtered internally by the computers as they can't cope with how shitty the alternator is at maintaining constant voltage, the alternator sags low under high load and if the RPM falls, and it spikes if the RPM rises and the electrical load is suddenly removed. You can see your lights flicker if they're the wrong kind of cheap LED replacement when you activate high loads like rear defrost or plug in a high load 12 volt device at low rpm with small alternators for that reason. The field coil current can't change fast enough, in the time of a flicker, most cheap and shitty microcontrollers and other CPUs execute anywhere from a few thousand instructions to a few million instructions, this would cause a crash if you're lucky. So the computers have their own power supply circuits that step up and step down the dirty, spiky, ripply DC power from the engine and make it clean and constant with a few thousandths of a volt of ripple (+/-0.001V). The signal wires may not be as protected, so not protecting them with a MOV across them and ground means that the most protected lines are protected right next to the giant battery which protects them anyhow, and the more delicate, sensitive, and less protected lines are left exposed. Just wrap computers in tin foil that you connect to the vehicle body (ground), twist exposed wires so that induced fields cancel themselves, wrap the wires you can in foil that is grounded, and keep a spare ECU handy in a faraday cage box. These scam products only protect you against say the alternator suddenly spiking more than the battery can absorb. They can't protect against and EMP, ask any electronics guy why and his answer will be similar to mine. Also your car already acts like a faraday cage anyhow as your car body is made of metal which is usually rather conductive and is wrapped around the ECU which again resembles a faraday cage. Only the bottom of the engine bay and the headlights are places that the EMP could enter. And even then, only some frequencies will significantly make it across the bend. Trouble is that you're likely going to be fried because the exposed radio antenna for the radio and the antenna that your remote uses to talk to the car, and the antennas inside the cabin for keyless start or the NFC coils on the ignition for regular key start would also pick up the EMP.

[@tekki2060]

What if you disconnect your battery.will an emp still affect your electronics

[@ThePitStopTirePros]

Even if the battery is disconnected the large and small conductors which are nearly every wire in the vehicle, and of which very few are shielded will still absorb and distribute the pulse from incoming EMP. The shield is essentially a surge protection device, which vehicles can handle some kinds of surges within their system but not large surges and not typically fast enough as to not overheat and fry small circuits. The Emp shield detects over surges between 16-20 amps or more and shunts them within a fraction of a second. There’s no method on any factory built vehicle that could provide this type of protection. Which is why this device is utilized by the DOD.

[@asificam1]

This device protects the car about the same as the battery does just by being connected... the excess charges would charge the battery or actively fight the battery which is rather large and can absorb small transients quite nicely as it does when the car is running and the alternator field coil strength can't change fast enough to stabilize the voltage as the RPM or load changes suddenly (Alternators kind of suck at maintaining a constant voltage). This device is probably internally a lot like a surge suppressor power bar you buy at the store for most electronics. Probably just a few MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors) and maybe a spark gap if they want to stop a HUGE transient. So if you take off the battery but leave this on, it will be a lot like the battery is still there because this would clamp the induced voltage to whatever they're rated to clamp at. But this does NOTHING to protect the delicate electronics themselves nor the signal wires in the wire harness which are quite vulnerable, nor does it stop the cars antennas from frying anything that's connected to them too.... so your car wont hear your key fob anymore, and all the electronics will still be fried anyhow. Want to protect the electronics? The car body is a faraday cage because it's made of metal which last I checked was rather electrically conductive. Place metal sheet around any holes in the engine bay like under the engine where you change oil, leave a hole or a mesh that you can remove to change oil and filters. Shield the wire harness, and then also place MOVs onto the signal wires where possible at either end of the wires. Any electronics outside the engine bay you want to have working should then be surrounded by metal which is connected to the car body, tin foil is fairly cheap and works shocking well in a pinch, even electronics guys like me have used it for protecting naked chips and power MOSFETS from static discharge which is far more powerful than an EMP because static discharge is right on the device where an EMP has to be picked up the by the circuitry first. Protecting against an EMP is cheap but requires a shit load of work. Easier to just keep a spare ECU in a faraday cage just in case. And also this product protects at the battery which essentially does its job for it... while being inside the most shielded part of the car... turns out metal cages for engine bays are inherently good at stopping EMPs as well as holding the engine inside the car. Do not buy unless you are worried about like accidentally having the alternator try to put out 24 volts on a 12 volt system... this can stop that, but it wont do squat against an EMP.

[@ThePitStopTirePros]

Most of the best information on the subject comes from Dr Bradley (aka EMP Doc) and his studies and research. But TRAPS are typically most effective as a multi unit protection which would always depend on the proximity to Emp emission from its source point. Which is why Dr Bradley suggest multiple point of protection, TRAP on battery TRAPs in 12v outlets inside the vehicle. These are somewhat inconvenient as they take us space in your outlets. The EMP shield is a single point of contact shunt that acts like a surge protection device rated for the speed that an EMP would hit, at a fraction of 1 second. EMP shield is more expensive and they also make a home protection device as well which Dr Bradley also advocates for on his website. Bottom line I don’t think having all of them would make sense but more one or the other. We use both companies for our own personal capacities, vehicle protection, home protection and solar array protection.
