This is a conductive box connected to an earth ground. Or an anti-static bag...you can pick those up at a good electronics supply or online. And they come big enough for lots of stuff like iPods, phones and laptops. Or you can get a roll of metal tape, and the bags, slice them open and seal them with the tape. This way you could line a big box - like a footlocker - and keep a pile of stuff safe from emp and lightning. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 424777 United States08/26/2008 12:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When it comes to heart pacemakers, are they devices designed to have shielding which protects them from EMP ? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 490674yes, pacemakers have no antenna, and are well grounded. However those with pacemakers will not likely survive a post EMP event, as those with pacemakers have very little utility in a post EMP environment. |
