We don't make nuts and bolts and screws here in the USA anymore. Everything is power hungry CNC, manual lathes and mills are almost non existent. ditto the skills to use them. |

Would you think an insulated foam cooler would work as well if I could get it to fit? Or, how about Great Stuff foam inside the trash can? I’m just trying to figure this stuff out and do it up right.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77351197 United States 08/14/2022 03:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My grandfather (who was a rocket engineer for Rocketdyne - (Apollo through Challenger missions)) made me promise to never live anywhere near that gulf. Before he became a rocket engineer/ he was an oil prospector - very rough and tough charector - (there was nothing mechanical that he could not fix). He signed non-disclosure statement's @ AeroJet) so I don't know "why" it is unsafe - (but I suspect it is cracked and leaking under there) - and that it is an extra dangerous area - due to potential hurricanes (and maybe even attacks). Having traveled to central America - that area on tha side is like a honeycomb. Who knows what lies under the water in the "gulf of mexico?" - just sharing w/GLP - nobody else cares about this $h1t - (and it's kinda important). Quoting: ruser grandfather intel trumps uncle intel every time. |

I am not a fan of Great stuff foam because it makes a horrendous mess, and will offgas some nasty gases over time, that then will likely condense on things like the clear plastic on radio dials. And old cardboard box can be cut up pretty easily to make the insulation layer, and you don't permanently destroy the trash can if you need it for something else later. I suppose an old towel or blanket would work as well. The other thing to be aware of, is the trash can joint and any pinholes needs to be covered with that foil HVAC tape. The slightest path for the EM to get through, really spoils the protective effect. There is a guy on Youtube that demostrates the amount of DB shielding by using some fancy equipment he has in a lab.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76530180 United States 08/14/2022 04:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I always imagine the huge disgusting mess an EMP would make. Wouldn't that be something of a deterrent for a country wanting to invade and take us over? I mean, roads filled with useless cars and crashed planes and dead bodies stinking up the cities. Seems like an overwhelming wreck to clear out. Ruins. |

We cannot manufacture many of the things we use in everyday life on our own, even just one hundred years ago a couple of guys in a garage could build a car, good luck making a computer chip, or some foam... |

If you have a radio that survives, there will prob be no repeaters or such If your car works or is fixable, you will only go so far, because gas stations won't work |

When it all goes, they want most of us dead, and those that survive, thats your business if you want to live in the loony nwo run from tel aviv, seeing you as 3rd class citizens, that do what they want, as these star of david people were sexually abused as babies, means they believe they are speical race. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84012448 If you have a radio that survives, there will prob be no repeaters or such If your car works or is fixable, you will only go so far, because gas stations won't work Well, you say that. After the event happens, the clock will be ticking until nuclear power plants run out of fuel for the backup generators. If you have a shortwave radio that still works, you can help arrange for fuel deliveries to keep the nuke plants from going critical. And you can call other countries that might still be functional to order replacement parts for the power grid, or road vehicles, or generators and parts for same. You can also have a vast library stored on a small computer stored in the can. If you are a high speed military guy, you can have your night vision scope or whatever stored in the can. If you have stored the critical parts for your vehicle in the can, you can replace the fried ECM etc components and still have transportation as long as your fuel lasts. If you can keep a generator and a fridge going, you can store insulin for a whole town. Saving countless lives. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! or you can die. It's all good. Justme |

User ID: 71362394 United States 08/14/2022 05:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | you can get EMP rated surge devices for your home, vehicles, generator, solar inverters. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73693825 i have them on my vehicles and breaker box. if the big emp hits i will lose power but my appliances will not be damaged. the military/DOD is known to be hardening their own assets...but there is no Federal pressure on counties to protect their citizens....even though the fix is affordable. something is rotten there it's worth the effort to test the awareness of your county officials on this matter and encourage them to harden local grids. I can understand you wanting to protect yourself, but I'm afraid you've been sold "magic beans" that will do absolutely nothing to protect you when the time comes. An EMP generates 50,000 to 100,000 volts in any exposed wire that is not sufficiently shielded. That means any wire even a few inches long will have thousands of volts induced in it. Even traces on a circuit board will be energized far more than the board's design allows, resulting in blown components. There is no EMP shielding you can do in your electrical box that will shield everything in your house. Most electronic devices that are *unplugged* will be effectively destroyed instantly. Close lightning strikes also induce voltage in nearby wiring, although it is generally only harmful when you have long runs of wire. |

Good points you make about the great stuff. I didn’t consider the off gassing. I guess it will be cardboard box lining for me. I like your point that it won’t permanently alter the trash can. Those Behrens metal cans are not inexpensive. I really think they are beautiful too and esthetically pleasing. I did watch some guy on YouTube I think he was called an Emp doctor or something but he didn’t line his trash can that I can remember. I did use the silvery HVAC tape and tape all seams and afterwords taped under the lid all around. I first did a cell phone test and it worked that no call went through. Last night I checked everything, undid it, and now I’ll have to drain the Jackery to about 80 percent and then do the whole process all over again except I’ll line it with cardboard this time! Thanks again! |
