Not funny. Because everyone who uses Facebook has rights there. Like the right to keep our own kitchen clean and then next for example choosing to block one or more Facebook pages so for example you don't have to see rows of erected penises on your screen again thanks to bpth pornography and human trafficking and how human traffickers like to enslave men too.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the balanced take on this.

[@melgibson6331]

We took an almost direct hit last summer from a sun EMP. I was in the bulls eye and i heard a transformer blow down the road but the power did not go out. At the time I did not know about the EMP until later in the day and then it made sense why it blew. I also noticed a couple days later that just the tomato plants in the garden the leaves edges started to curl and turn brown. I cant say it was from the EMP but I am pretty sure that is what caused it.

If equipment is not plugged in or attached to anything that would surge. Could they still be effected?

[@ScottiesTech]

As I understand it, yes... but damage would probably be worse if stuff is plugged in. Any incoming power lines, comm lines, etc. will be a source for surges. Not fiber, tho!

[@White_Night_Demon]

@@ScottiesTech but if u have one of those inline surge protectors plug inbetween the outlet and your appliance then ur all good!

[@slcoareschannel1943]

A couple of thoughts... first, I appreciate the fact that you weren't screaming "the sky is falling" as far as the threat level of EMP's go. I also believe that I would rather spend most of my time and effort and money is preparing for something that has an 80% chance of affecting me than for something that has a 3% chance. Saying that, it is still wise to understand what EMP's are and how they can affect you. You mentioned a couple of times the threat of CME's and even compared the E3 wave to CME's, although you didn't come straight out and say it in those words. It is very true that we have a much bigger threat of seeing a direct, head-on CME than an HEMP... so, understanding CME's I believe is really important. You thing that you didn't mention is reason why the power grid is so susceptible to CME's. And understanding why it is is critical in learning how to protect against it. IF we had a direct CME hit we would most definitely have lots of hours to prepare ourselves for it. We would be unplugging anything and everything from the power grid. Anything left plugged in could then be affected. But here's what's not so evident in your presentation. CME's could take down the power grid because of the type of damage it causes. When a CME hits the power grid the CME looks like "quasi-DC" current, which, when hitting an AC power grid does all kinds of crazy stuff to the electronics that make the power grid work in the first place. The transformers (both the hyper-critical as well as the transformers that are on the pole outside of your home) are expecting AC current. CME's produce a DC like current. Not compatible. This is the reason why there could be many transformers that are damaged and/or completely destroyed by a direct hit CME. Where do we get parts to the hyper-critical transformers? We don't. The government, in its infinite wisdom, as decided on buying these transformers that are critical to keeping the US power grid operational (there are about 300 of these types) from outside sources.... and it would take 1 to 3 years to order them if they go ka-boom from a direct hit CME. One last thought... even if there is a 3% chance (that number I pulled from the air.... but it is much less than the possibility of a direct CME hit)... that we could be hit by an HEMP and although the chances of having a successful HEMP affect us, we should prepare as if it would. Simply saying, like you did in your presentation, that it "probably" couldn't happen, or "probably" wouldn't happen isn't good enough for me.

[@mikeharrington5593]

Thanks for that Scottie. What level of sunspot/CME activity should we be worried about which could affect our electrical/electronic appliances ? We would get 15-18 hrs warning of such activity, time enough to employ protective measures if the activity is predicted to be particularly damaging ?

[@ColdWarPrepper]

Do you think that the law of inverse squares applies to EMP the same way it does to radiation?

[@joeb5327]

Scottie, I think you missed the point of the EMP threat or you're interpreting it differently. It's not the threat of an EMP on all devices that's the problem. It's the impact an EMP could have on just a small handful of critical substations. If those go down, it's lights out. There are several ways they can be destroyed, and the concern is that a local, small EMP device, is apparently one of those ways. That's the EMP threat.

[@ScottiesTech]

Well, if it's a small handful of critical substations, power can be restored relatively quickly. The only time an EMP would be a real, serious threat is if it caused widespread infrastructure outages. In many places, the grid has redundant connections. But IMO, no matter the case, I think it's wise to have a backup generator - even a small one - to power key equipment. You don't want to be caught without power in the dead of winter for a week. If you never need it, it was still money well spent for peace of mind.

[@georgeclark7208]

I would feet more optimistic if the digital breakers for the E3 pulse would survive the E1 pulse. If the digital breakers fail during the E1, when the E3 pulse comes through the lines will still be fully charged which sounds like a disaster.

[@alanblair3]

in the event of an EMP what would happen to those who have crypto currency if there servers where destroyed, would they be wiped out completely or will they have a fail safe procedure to store info? my belief is they would now be the poorest people in the world as they have no digital money or records of what they have or had.

During EMP, internet could shut down in the US, but if only one computer still runs in Russia or Bolivia or any country, only one minner can protect the network. And lets say all the electricity goes down in the entire world, the computer will shut down and the btc network will stop (no transactions) but as soon as we turn on 1 computer and we run the software , bitcoin network will revive

Thank you Scottie, those of us who've been paying attention over the past few years are hoping for the best but are preparing for the worst, we're stocked up.

Thank you for the great insight on this. Quick question though... do metal barns offer any protection for vehicles and equipment? Just a thought.

They can, although how much depends on things like the frequencies in the EMP, the type of metal, the number and size of gaps in doors/windows, etc.

[@christophercancel934]

[@DavidByers1eye]

Thank You my friend . . .

[@65gtotrips]

I wouldn’t think fiber optic would be affected because it uses light as its vehicle to T/X not actually RF, even though light itself is a frequency, albeit extremely high on the spectrum.

[@ScottiesTech]

It wouldn't be, except that on either end of the fiber you have optical-to-electrical conversions taking place. So if the grid or the equipment itself is affected, then it might be damaged. But the EMP itself would do nothing to optical fibers themselves. In that sense, fiber is the most resistant!

[@henryhomes2664]

That was "informative", thanx!

[@RynaxAlien]

Shielding doesn't need to be 100%. Afterall electronics are always exposed to EM waves and have some voltage tolerances. I'd imagine most pulse would come from top and only weaker waves reflect of surfaces? Laptops and phones come with some protection already, have metal chassis that can act as EMP shield, however some parts are made of dielectric materials. Surge protector is necesity in rural areas because of lightnings so owing UPS or power strip with it can be good idea

[@markashcraft9624]

[@terryheller6510]

Well thank goodness we don't have to worry about our gizmos from winkie EMP's.

[@gregf9160]

Yes, high-altitude EMP's are massively amplified by the Compton Effect. A very low yield nuclear warhead _could_ easily cripple an entire continent -- as was noticed in the Starfish Prime test in 1962 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starfish_Prime). The results were far more intense than expected and if it had been detonated in a slightly different orbit it could have taken out a LOT of critical systems and blacked out entire major cities. Especially how dependent everything is on computerisation including, as you point out, vehicles. As another Scotty once said "The more you overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drains".

[@bax737]

Thanks for bringing up the Compton effect. You’re right - it’s a huge factor and unfortunately not factored in by many internet “experts.”

[@jackspratt4343]

Scottie, would the passengers of EMP'd cars be electrocuted ? Thanks

I don't think so. The zap should flow through the metal frame of the car, and then jump from the wheels to the ground.

[@jackspratt4343]

No charge can exist inside of an closed conductor, that's how farraday cages work. See Maxwell's laws. So no, the passengers would not be affected.

I am writing a fiction non-fiction sci-fi book, and require some medical expertise to assist with anatomically accurate procedural information, according to the theme of the story: When Axel was 5 years old, he was sold to an underground criminal organisation where an evil doctor forcibly inserted a torture-surveillance-spyware bug into one of his frontal sinuses. 40 years later, Axel has a head injury in a near fatal motorcycle accident, and when observing his skull x-ray, he finds that there is a bug in his head! By this time, the underground criminal system, has infiltrated the global medical industry, and there is no way any governmental or institutional doctor will acknowledge his situation or even try and remove the bug for fear of the criminals. If he doesn't get it out soon, it will most likely fry his mind, brain and eventually kill him! (this is the part where I need medical advice) How would he remove it? And he must do it alone! Can he fry the bug with an EMP device, and what would you suggest?

[@ScottiesTech]

Well, I'm certainly no medical expert, but if I had to do that, I'd try an EMP - assuming it's electronic. The other thing I can think of is directed radio waves - sort of like trying to microwave the chip in place. It's possible, but would be rather uncomfortable and cause the chip to heat up. The EMP is a better option since to target the implant directly with microwaves, it would be best to triangulate it: IOW, you'd have 3 radio beams that cross at the point of the implant. The 3 waves would interfere constructively (as opposed to canceling each other out) and effectively target only the implant. That's not easy to do though and would prolly require computer control and targeting, like radiotherapy for cancer. So yeah, EMP is much easier!

Sorry son, but _all_ nuclear attacks are a very big deal indeed. And it's "neutron bomb attack" not "EMP attack" because the nuclear weapon is the neutron bomb. Indeed it's the neutrons that kill all the people; the EMP just destroys the matériel that uses electronics. Perhaps 'engage brain' before 'open mouth' next time. And if you don't know what you're talking about, don't make a video documenting that.
