ift.tt/1dDr4O9 Electromagnetic Pulse Protection Guides By Ben H. Herr As serious survivalists we are persistently on the look-out for diverse techniques to protect ourselves as well as our equipment. One major concern being expressed by various survival group members centers upon the issue of the dreaded EMP threat. Some proclaim it will create havoc upon our newer junction centered semiconductor products while other schools of thoughts dismiss the dilemma as mere speculation. [How To Protect From An Emp] People at home in their houses should have a safe, perhaps with an inner lining of these materials to park their electronics at night. Back up hard drives for important financial institutions, government operations, emergency services, military operations should be stored in rooms, which are underground and lined with these materials. Electronic Attack, EA, will be a bigger component of warfare in the future. Disrupting the enemy goes back as far as the theories of Sun Tzu in the Art of War and there is nothing more disruptive in our present period than a complete elimination of all electronic devices in our civilization. War planners today call it a major component in the Fog of War, where your enemy does not know what is going on. Increasing the uncertainty of events is part of warfare strategy and it is no secret to anyone who studies the game of war. When communication lines are down and you cannot get damage assessment reports, you cannot make decisions relevant to continue the fight, this causes hesitation and aides your enemy. You can bet that the United States uses these tactics when we go to war and you can be sure as the new net centric style of warfare continues so to will our enemies find solace in EA. Think for a moment about the inherent dangers associated with microwave ovens and the consequences if they are not properly constructed. With this idea in mind it would make perfect sense to use a microwave as a potential means of protecting our small electronic items. The microwave oven will make an excellent shield to prevent those pulses from damaging our devices. Following an EMP attack above the United States, a rapid and complete breakdown of our infrastructure would happen. Like a house built of cards when one supporting card is pulled out, our electronic infrastructure would come crashing down in seconds.Faraday Cage.You can protect your own devices by keeping them in containers made from aluminum or copper, commonly referred to as faraday cages. Your protected devices will be able to resist electromagnetic pulse effects.A galvanized metal trash can lined with insulation like thick cardboard makes a great EMP shelter. Metal filing cabinets work well too as long as the devices you are protecting do not come in contact with the metal cabinet.You can wrap smaller electronic devices in aluminum foil, but be sure to wrap them in plastic first and use two or three layers of foil. Next you will need to locate an old microwave oven. It does not need to be functional to be an effective EMP proof enclosure. Inspect the oven carefully to ensure that there are no gaps or leakages between the body and the door. Although it is possible that the microwave itself will protect again most EMP threats to guarantee us a better means of protection we will now solder a braided copper wire grounding strip from the cold water pipe to the metal body of our microwave.Several alternative methods of electronic storage and protection could be the use of a commercial metallic gun safe or a common aluminum garbage can for larger items. Make certain to solder the braided copper wire to these items and run it to a cold water pipe ground. These projects should protect most of your small electronic items in the event of an EMP attack About the Author: Get The latest News about How To Protect From An Emp , then visit ift.tt/15FQ7IG, to find the best advice on home organisation ideas for you.
