The main issue is not much of electronics getting fried(eventhough its rea!), its more of electric grid going down, and the limited availability of the large transformers used for transmission, making it for a prolonged outage for several weeks, if not for months. The issue is the ensuing chaos due to network and internet outage, lack of water supply etc. High quality whole house nanosecond TVS might improve survivability.

@atomicsmith

Ай бұрын

Supply chain for new transformers is already months. Grid providers usually stock a few for the occasional outage. Even a fairly localized event could take out thousands of transformers. That area would be mostly without grid for at least a couple of years. The secondary effects would probably be worse than just the loss of power. The worst case is probably a mega CME taking out a hemisphere. The secondary effects from that are almost unimaginable.

I was on the electronic workbench at work where we had a monitor on the grid with a line voltage monitor. It was mostly on 60 Hz at about 120 VAC. We had a 4.3 earthquake and the monitor burned up in front of my eyes in a second, after moving the needle to the right fullscale. Way over 200 VAC. The needle had paint on it that burned up. The unit itself had a coil that smoked up and shorted. I ran out of the building, a few minutes returning. That was the only piece of equipment that was damaged at the bench. Out in the field, that was another story and 4 people worked for about a month doing repairs.

Humans can live without electricity and modern electronic devices. That is not the problem. It is the lag time that it would require for humans to adapt to the 1800s lifestyle that would kill millions.

Yourself, as is below is above. Juice cleanse, spiritually awaken, learn morality and natural law, become independent , stop paying thieves, learn survival skills, etc. The less you depend on the system the less of a system there is.

Some mistakes. AN NEMP is unlikely to cross open breakers as the pulse is very short, lasting 10s of nanoseconds, in circuits because of inductance & capacitance 10s of microseconds. What happens is that the EMP will induce a current inside all of the buildings wiring. Basically wiring acts alike an antenna collecting the EMP energy. The more surface area (longer wire) the more energy will be collected. Another issue is that EMP will increase the ground state voltage of the earth, which means a grounded wire connected to a device can travel up from the ground & into the electrical device I believe the Russian NEMP devices are capable of inducing up to 200KV per square meter, which is far higher than 50KV. As far as RF devices, it does not matter the RF frequency of the device. Radios use a tank circuit (inductor & cap) as a band pass filter to block out frequencies not needed. The antenna will still collect all RF energy some more, some less depending on the antenna length. The issue is going to RF pre-amp which is designed to boost picowatt signals into the receiver, which cannot tolerate the power the antenna will collect regardless of the devices frequency. Consider that antennas will be resonant to multifrequencies. Most antennas are a fraction of the wavelength (ie 1/2 Wavelength, 1/4, 1/8. 1/16, etc). Another words, your cell phone is going to get fried. The only way to protect RF devices is have them in a faraday cage. This includes AM\FM radios, Wifi, cell\smart phones, etc. That said the cell towers are also going to get fried & also lose power, so even if your cell phone isn't fried, its still useless. Solar panels will also get fried, as the all have a reverse blocking Diode will will fail. Solar panels have a lot of wiring as the individual cells are all connnected. Solar cells are just Diodes that collect light to create current. That can be damaged by an EMP especially considering they have a lot of surface area & are typically wired in series to produce a higher voltage than each cell can produce on its own. To protect devices using alum foil you have to insulate it from the foil. For instance put the device in a plastic bag, and then wrap it with foil. A cardboard box wrapped in Alum foil will also work. Note the entire surfaces of the box must be completely covered and the must also be in contact on all sides.

I’m glad I read through the comments and found yours before replying. (Thanks for saving the time). Radios, Geiger counters solar controllers etc. need to be isolated and shielded. Protection of led optics also. Gas discharge tubes for E2/E3 pulses. The rise time of the NEMP is problematic for many devices. Pre-1967 vehicles and old diesels will be Mad Maxing around. Also, don’t forget most shipping containers have wooden floors and those pulses can reflect off the dammedest things.

@@scottzehrung4829 I use TVS Diodes in my surge protection devices, since they don't degrade like MOVs & can clamp on the very fast pulses. Another option is to use a air inductor in series before any TVS clamping devices which will slow the pulse as the air inductors provides high impedience for fast pulses. I have three stage Surge that uses: air-inductor, TVS's, GDT's and a crowbar & set up to clamp three way: L-N, G-N, L-G. since its possible the surge can travel via ground wire. The Crowbar will clamp three way, even if there is a pulse breach on just one of the three paths, which will isolate the protected device . However it cannot address issue if the EMP dumps enough power inside the device using the devices internal wiring. The most practical option is store your electronics in a metal trash can lined with plastic bag on the inside, and metal foil tape over between the trashcan & body to make sure its fully isolated & encapsulated. However the issue is going to be the Nuclear Power plant Meltdowns & spent fuel pool fires. If the EMP (or CME) takes down the grid its pretty much game over for everyone in North America. Once those spent fuel pools catch fire, it will contaminate just about every square meter with about 1 megabecquerels. Fallout Shelter become tombs as it will be impossible to ever leave.

The experts have always said that a nuclear EMP from a bomb exploded at the right height above the center of the US will absolutely fry all electrical and electronic devices, unless they are stored in a Faraday cage. There are some problems even with that. Suppose you save a cellphone or portable radio. The cell system and all the radio stations will be destroyed as well, so the phones and radios will be useless, unless you have a shortwave radio and other people have one too. Computers would be useless to most people, as the internet would be dead. On the other hand, mine will be useful to me because I have thousands of books and entire websites stored on my hard drives, and I have enough solar panels to power a laptop, a hard drive, and a printer, so I would still have a ton of research material available. Plus, I already have hard copies of the most important references. I also have a stereo system, so I could still play my records, tapes, and CDs. But so many people today get all their media through the internet. They will be SOL if there is an EMP. The E1 pulse is the one that will kill devices that aren't even plugged in. Nuclear EMP puts out E1, E2, and E3. A solar EMP only has the E3 burst. Mr. Braxman seems to believe that we won't get a strong enough E1 to kill portable devices. Experts say that the portable devices will be killed. I'm surprised that Mr. Braxman hasn't already stored his electronics in a Faraday cage of some sort. I use multiple layers of plastic and aluminum foil. In short, I don't believe he's done much research on this problem. I've been researching it for over 25 years and have a lot of information printed out in hard copy so it won't disappear. I have seen demonstrations showing components in radios that have been fried by EMP. Some cars will die from EMP, but some of those will restart.

IIRC in the 1600's there was a stronger storm than the Carrington Event in the 1800's, but since wires and electricity were quite rare then, no damages were reported.

Unless detonation is really close, Emp has near no effect on home devices. Emp events couple to large low frequency transmission lines such as our power grid. Our atmosphere stops space x-rays from nuke-ing your cpu.

Questions. Are there any whole house surge protectors that would protect against a CME? Is it possible to protect unused/unplugged equipment stored underground? If so, how deep would it need to be?

4:00 Well I just did some research on how to protect my PV system, and it turns out there are so called surge protection devices, which are made to clamp a short pulse above it's rated voltage. There are 3 types apparently, type 1 is heavy duty that offers some protection even against direct lightning hit. Type 2 is somewhat weaker, which supposed to protect against short duration pulses due to induction, and is becoming increasingly common even mandated in some areas even in residential areas. Type 3 is the weakest, but lowest voltage which meant to clamp the already clamped surge and thus protect sensitive appliances in which it is installed. High quality switch mode power supplies often already have type 3 protection devices already built in. I just purchased a set of Type 2 for my apartment last week, to protect my AC unit and my inverter against short surges until I have some money to install a more serious type 1 device. The Type 2 device I have is rated to clamp surges above 275V (we have 230VAC in EU, so 275V device is appropriate) up to 40kA (that is a short pulse of up to 40,000 Amps) So I suspect the effect of an EMP may prove to be overrated in some areas, and cause far less damage then expected due to the abundance of surge protection in some region, while in poorer region and where it's not mandated it may be devastating.

Why Putin 😂😂😂

He identified someone/something familiar and relatable. That’s all.

I am retired from the power company after working 40 years as an electrical engineer for that company as well as 4 other defense companies. Based on design I have done with microwave paths, my intuition tells me that if you are close enough to an EMP to cause damage to circuits you are probably in the blast zone and that will be more than likely to take you out before the EMP damages your electronics. I think you are making a lot of assumptions about what frequencies will be present in an EMP and the magnitude of their energy. An EMP is mathematically described as an impulse function. An impulse function has wide bandwidth as calculated by the Fourier transform. The greater the amplitude and shorter it's duration the wider it's bandwidth. All of the transmission and distribution lines in the grid are protected by breakers that are controlled by protective relaying circuits. These circuits will open breakers to power lines in milliseconds should a fault occur including a fault caused by an EMP. Again my intuition tells me that the damage to power lines caused by an EMP will be moot because the blast will take the power lines out if it is close enough to deliver enough EMF energy to cause damage to the power lines. As far as an EMP coming from the sun causing damage to circuits, this makes no since to me due to the distance the sun is from the earth and I have never heard of a single instance of an EMP from the sun causing damage to circuits. I would be interested to know if anyone has a documented case of this happening.

Do not confuse a nuclear explosion on the ground with high altitude explosions. The atmosphere will block the dangerous radiation

I live on a sailboat as well. after installing my water maker I'll be self sufficient . pushing for 1000w of solar. definitely a good feeling to have a comfortable space that manpower itself and move across vast distances. I install Victron equipment here on the east coast.

That CME warning at the end came sooner than he expected. Prepare for possible grid failure this weekend.

How's that grid failure?

I live on my boat. In summer I can unplug from the grid completely. Thunderstorms or a Carlington event seem much more likely to me than Putin. Russia is doing quite well. No hyper inflation, Plenty of food, gas and oil reserves, good trade with the free world. Most money for weapons in the Ukraine is stolen before any real harm is done.

It's interesting that both party's voted for another 60+ billion with no mention on how it will be traced. As long as the US military industrial boys get their billions.

The only problem is that your devices might survive, but you won't 😅 .

also you should look into high saturation ferrite.good info thanks.

In the USA the long distance electricity transmission system operates at between 250 and 750 kV. A mere (nominal) 50kV from an EMP won't notice, because the isolation barriers are easily strong enough to protect against such surges. You have to think though that power stations are going to be a significant target. If you survive, your phone and your microwave oven will still work. There just won't be any power, that's all.

EMP strikes go both ways. Of course the US will never, never do such a thing first. They have shown their willingness to restrain themselves already in Japan, by dropping both nuclear bombs they had at that time instead of only one.

The US Government Inc. has already used EMPs in combat situations. The second invasion of Iraq was preceded by an EMP to soften them up. The cost to rebuild their grid fell on US tax payers.

Your brain is electric.

Thank you

People might want to check out 'EMP Shield's. US Military is using this product, also built into the Energy solar generator. I've seen some testing, and it works well.

The threat is Russia? A recent poll asked Americans who they considered was the biggest threat: China, Iran, Israel, or the US. 70% responded the US. I'm in that category.

I'm surprised that the US was ranked so low. I'm a US Navy Veteran and I know first-hand that there is no country more dangerous to all life on this planet than the US.

It is more likely the current admin would use something like that against us, long before Russia.

Two things should also be noted: (1) EMP's are strongest directly beneath the explosion, which is likely to be over the eastern seaboard and (2) If there is an EMP, an all out strike is likely within the next few minutes.

It's a shame you put such a title, like any mainstream folk

Ignition coils have more delicate wire than an alternator but none of those wires are laid out to absorb a low frequency pulse. Coil over ignition systems are fairly well protected by the head assuming it's metal... most are. Much will depend on the incident angle of the wave and the machine's vulnerabilities.

ThanQ!

That is a VERY blatant and REAL observation sir. Appreciated! A shame knowing these factors in advance, THEORETICALLY the system could be designed to not only endure an EMP event.
