EMP How it works - The single greatest man made threat to North America ever and North Korea has it.

Individual use of them is affected if they are confiscated.

After reflecting on the above statement have to disagree. Weapons technologies are far more advanced that we are allowed to know. Nanotechnology has enabled the creation of weapons of mass destruction that are invisible! For instance, nanoreplicators could be released over a target area. They could be programmed to remain dormant until a command was given them to replicate at a very rapid pace. They would consume the stuff of which humans are made of, such as water, and the invaded humans would simply die of dehydration. Lots of other scenarios too!

Anyone who thinks that this "scenario" isn't possible needs to read the following:

“We can envision a more insidious possibility. In a two-phased attack, the nanobots take several weeks to spread throughout the biomass but use up an insignificant portion of the carbon atoms, say one out of every quadrillion (1015). At this extremely low level of concentration, the nanobots would be as stealthy as possible [Freitas’ “Build” phase]. Then, at an “optimal” point, the second phase would begin with the seed nanobots expanding rapidly in place to destroy the biomass [Freitas’ “Destroy” phase]. For each seed nanobot to multiply itself a quadrillionfold would require only about 50 binary replications, or about 90 minutes.”

Now, lets add this little bit of information one way to combat a nanobot "attack" using guess what? AN EMP!

"Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP). Nuclear weapon explosions are known to create very sharp pulses of high-intensity electromagnetic radiation that can destroy electronic equipment. EMP can also be generated by non-nuclear systems. Ecophages with onboard nanoelectronic components, including sensors, computers, electrical motors or generators, and power conduits, would be seriously damaged and probably rendered entirely inoperative, if exposed to EMP. Only ecophages with all-mechanical inner workings or that are heavily shielded would be immune to EMP damage."

I haven't read any of the info you provided because I have a fairly good idea of the devastation this would bring on us.


This thread irritates me for the same reason the series "24" did.

Geeeeeeez .. why give them a play by play how debilitating it would be.

This thread should be locked with security clearance mandatory for anyone wanting to get in.

RF paint? I'll have to look into that. Does it come in my favorite colors? In all seriousness, I am grounded with copper and I have aluminum siding. However, I don't have a metal roof. One room is all I need. What impact would an EMP have physically on a person if any? I know a nuke would be bad news but what about the energy?

I'm buying a book soon called 'One Second After', its about a man and his survival as soon as the emp hits. It was recommended that all Americans read it since it could very well happen, and gives some good survival tips.

EMP weapons technologies were developed and perfected in the "Star Wars" programs. Any missle launched from NK that even appears to be headed toward N. America will be hit with a high energy DE laser. They are mounted in satellites, on ships, in aircraft, and on other platforms.

Please read this PDF file I found...Report of the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from
Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack.

I wrote this little abstract for GLP because knowledge is power.


Electro-magnetic pulse or EMP in short can be achieved in 2 ways, by nuclear and by non-nuclear means.
Due to the greater threat I will mostly cover the nuclear scenario. There is another way for EMPs to form and that is by solar storms but since its a natural process I will not cover this scenario here.



All nuclear explosions can create EMP's but there are several factors that determine the strength of an EMP burst. If you say the yield of the bomb makes all the difference, you are deadly wrong. The main factor is the altitude of the explosion and after dozens of tests by the USA and Russia back in the late 50' and early 60', they have determined that a 300 miles high detonation would be the most effective. If the explosion is within the atmosphere or too far out in space then there would be little to no EMP effect. This is due to the way an EMP is formed, our Magnetosphere is the key for an EMP to be effective here. The strength of the magnetosphere at the moment of the explosion is another factor.



I will now go into details regarding the actual formation of an EMP.
Nuclear EMPs creates a complex multi-pulses and are made up of 3 components and they are called E1, E2 and E3.

The E1 pulse occurs very fast, in the order of nanoseconds, and is produced when gamma radiation from the detonation knocks electrons out of atoms in the upper atmosphere. the free electrons then travel in a downward direction at close to the speed of light but here is where the magic happens. As the electrons travel downwards they are captured by Earth's magnetic field and are re-directed in a right angle flow, following the magnetosphere field lines.
This causes the EMP to "spread" out a lot further than in the absence of a magnetic field. In short, the interaction with the Earth's magnetic field produces a very large but very brief electromagnetic pulse over the affected area. This is known as the Compton effect and the results are devastating for even the most shielded electronic apparatuses.

E1 can be measured in the order of hundreds of KeV's (100,000 electron volts plus) and up to 2 MeV (million electron volts) which was achieved in a 1.44 megaton experimental detonation back in 1962 in the high-altitude test code named "Operation fishbowl"

The E2 pulse is generated by scattering gamma rays produced by the weapon neutrons. It lasts a bit longer and behaves like lightning therefore lighting protection devices have a better chance to do their intended jobs. The main problem is the fact that E2 immediately follows E1 which may have already damaged surge protection devices thus leaving the door wide open for E2 to destroy the protected apparatuses.



The E3 pulse is quite different from the first 2, it is very slow and can last 100's of seconds due to it moving the Earth magnetic field out of the way, followed by its restoration to its natural place.
E3 acts like a Geomagnetic storm and induces currents in long electrical conductors such as high voltage wires and transformers.



Remember when North Korea conducted those underground tests and US intelligence detected only low yield nuclear explosion? In the order of 3-5 kilotons?
Some engineers thought they were failed nuclear detonations but other suspected that they actually were “Super EMP's".

Again, I reiterate that to produce an EMP large enough to disable a nation, bigger is not necessarily better. North Korea has only to launch 1 of these in orbit and then guide it above the USA and its game over.

Here is an old article I found that substantiates my claim.

“Super EMP” Capable of Disabling Power Grid Across Lower 48 States.

"For many years U.S. Intelligence agencies believed that North Korea’s nuclear weapons program was a failure due to the low explosive yield of their tests. According to EMPact America’s President and former

CIA nuclear weapons analyst Dr. Peter Vincent Pry, this is not the case: North Korea’s last round of tests, conducted in May 2009, appear to have included a “super-EMP” weapon,
capable of emitting enough gamma rays to disable the electric power grid across most of the lower 48 states, says Dr. Peter Vincent Pry, a former CIA nuclear weapons analyst and president of EMPact America, a citizens lobbying group."

EMP's aren't as effective as you think. They definitely disrupt electronics, but a lot of stuff will be ok, and even more will come back online shorty after. Hawaii came back online after starfish prime, and very few electronics were permanently damaged.

NK has shit, I get his Majesty, Cheney and Bush but a bomb? Get a Country and a life! When they work together! Call on the Quenn, wait for Henry or Kate, ya know the girl, Not preggers and the boi who will take the throne. Mark my words,

Kate is not pregnant and Henry will take the crown.

a simple reading on my palm. A whisper and it is gone like a leaf or a simple butterfly wing. Harry will take the crown.

The combines would stop harvesting, the food delivery trucks would be dead on the highway. Within a week or two the canned food would be gone. Guess what the final currency would be.

"And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say: “Come!” 8 And I saw, and, look! a pale horse; and the one seated upon it had the name Death. And Hades was closely following him. And authority was given them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with a long sword and with food shortage and with deadly plague and by the wild beasts of the earth." Rv6:7
