I am not sure if it effects humans. Electronic, yes. Someone told me my microwave oven, unplugged, can act as a Faraday cage for a laptop, and block the emps, but I haven't done the research to find out. If it is extremely bad, I would guess all cars after about 1971 ish wouldn't run, too, due to electronic starters, etc. Anyone wanting to give a crash course in one or two paragraphs? I think I'm prepared, except for not having a hand grinder for coffee and wheat. I do have an old meat grinder...'possum pot pie, anyone?

A well grounded cage of wire, or even a metal box, well grounded, is a Faraday cage. It will protect anything inside it.

I live in a steel boat. It is a giant Faraday cage, in effect, grounded in the ocean. So my shit inside the boat is safe. The antennas will get fried.

Possibly the stainless steel standing rigging will act as a Faraday cage as well. If so, everything is protected except the masthead antenna.

Anything you are worried about, if you can just encase it in steel mesh, and ground that, will be ok.

Of course, you have to somehow know when the EMP is coming, and put all stuff in Faraday cages. Aye, there's the rub.

Sure, but there are other means of protection being discussed.

For instance, there are these things…

[link to www.empshield.com (secure)]

And there are folks like this guy, who promote similar, but different techniques.



Thing is, if massive amounts of voltage come through a residential service entrance without some kind of protection, surely there will be fires…

Now, I am not an electrician or an EMP expert, but the likelihood of such an event seems to be rising by the day.

Just curious what glp thinks.
