Which Devices Will Survive a Putin Tactical EMP Strike?

- Many of you know the basics of EMP's where your electronic devices will be wiped out and you will be back in the 1800's. But actually if you understand the technical details of an EMP, you might be surprised to find out that some devices will survive. This will make sense when you understand things like the frequencies of the pulse and the resonance of devices. Plus there are ways to be a prepper and be ready for this with as little as $100.

I'm much more concerned with Klaus Schwab than I am with Putin.
Thats right WEF has Biden in his pocket. How about we just elect the prince of peace Trump. Lets get rid of the war pig slow Joe. Wouldn't that be a much easier solution?
I don't care about Putin. Wether he's a good guy or not. We can deal with him. That's why we have The Navy. Klaus Schwab, on the other hand, is a Menace. He considers Libertarians the Biggest Threat To His Plans. He's a Statist Authoritarian Control Freak of the worst possible kind. His plans include total disruption of everything involving Freedom. Little Moustache would be so proud of him!
Like I said, we can deal with a threat like Putin, if he's a threat. The forces represented by Klaus Schwab are an imminent and real threat to our whole way of life.
Remember, Putin was a member of the Young Leaders program of the WEF.
@@RickBelt And now he is fighting them.

Yup. Our government first and then Iran.

They got to cover the worthless dollar which many say it about to collapse . If number is correct they create 100 billion dollars of debt every 90 days .
On point
On purpose, or by mistake!😮
👍
Putin will not be our worry...the US is our worry.
That's exactly what our enemies abroad want you to think. Also, we have enemies here.
Be careful who you perceive them to be or you may become the enemy. Welcome to the age of confusion.
Agreed, Putin is too level headed...thankfully given how DC keeps goading Russia. However a simple fission device can be used which means a rogue country like North Korea could employ a HEMP attack, which is probably the greater concern. On the other hand a Carrington level CME is virtually a certainty at some point. In fact earth missed being hit by such an event by just a couple of days back in 2012, if I recall correctly. And there is no reason a solar CME couldn't be even more powerful than the Carrington event.
@@Ef554rgccthe most dangerous enemy is always the one within, like all the nonelected dual citizenship Israelis in DC with their puppet politicians using and abusing Americans in the name of safety and democracy.
Our un-frustructure
Sadly, only 5% of the American 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑realize that the U.S. is the greatest threat to the U.S.
Basically, if the power grid goes down; we're dead. Unless the damage to the power grid was minor and temporary, even the machinery needed to make the necessary repairs, would not operate for long without fuel. We would be finished as a human race. Our cities would produce mobs of people, roaming the countryside, pilfering and destroying any food, water and fuel supplies we might have on hand. We wouldn't even have the ability to protect ourselves and property without manufactured ammunition supplies. Any electronic device that might survive an initial EMP blast would be the least of my concerns.
Not everyone… some of us spent our childhoods in the middle of nowhere and could do just fine without electricity 👍
If you have to plan on going to the store for ammunition you have already failed.
Rob, I appreciate the way you put this in layman's terms so the less tech savy of us can better understand
What will survive? .22LR, .223, 5.56, 9mm, 10mm, .357 mag., .45 ACP ... you get the idea. If you have power and no one else does, when you run out of the above, you lose your power.
That's why it's also important to have basic survival skills along with the knowledge in tech
tell me one "survival" thing you can do, without looking it up on your phone. You won't have network access after a sudden, unexpected EMP pulse. Can you make a fire, in the dark? Filter water to drink? I mean, everyone can lie die down in a tent and claim "Able to survive in the wild" ;)
yes . like a firearm ..

Thank you for showing up Rob in spite of your allergies. Hope you got better! Thanks for illuminating me on the wire length problem. So this also means our Starlink might be effected. See you soon.
The main issue is not much of electronics getting fried(eventhough its rea!), its more of electric grid going down, and the limited availability of the large transformers used for transmission, making it for a prolonged outage for several weeks, if not for months. The issue is the ensuing chaos due to network and internet outage, lack of water supply etc. High quality whole house nanosecond TVS might improve survivability.
Supply chain for new transformers is already months. Grid providers usually stock a few for the occasional outage. Even a fairly localized event could take out thousands of transformers. That area would be mostly without grid for at least a couple of years. The secondary effects would probably be worse than just the loss of power. The worst case is probably a mega CME taking out a hemisphere. The secondary effects from that are almost unimaginable.

@@africkinamerican I’m not sure if it’s ALL, but a lot. It used to be common for grid operators to have their own machine shop that could turn those things out, but in the name of cost cutting they are all made by just a hand full of firms.

"you have to think beyond what i've said here." i like your style hahaha
This is YT! I can't talk about actual survival...
I think bringing this to people's attention is a wonderful public service, even though I know there's going to be some argumentative people that argue with your conclusions😊
Like Microwave ranging from 300 MHz-300 GHz. 'im know... nit picking. 😉
how is fearmongering "wonderful public service"?
@@wrrrrrrrrrrlol what are you doing here? Bye boy
I was on the electronic workbench at work where we had a monitor on the grid with a line voltage monitor. It was mostly on 60 Hz at about 120 VAC. We had a 4.3 earthquake and the monitor burned up in front of my eyes in a second, after moving the needle to the right fullscale. Way over 200 VAC. The needle had paint on it that burned up. The unit itself had a coil that smoked up and shorted. I ran out of the building, a few minutes returning. That was the only piece of equipment that was damaged at the bench. Out in the field, that was another story and 4 people worked for about a month doing repairs.
Rob, thanks for doing this video! You demystified a lot of EMP characteristics for me with your explanations of E1-E3 pulses, induction, and resonance.
He forgot to mention the Diminishing Square law, which renders EMPs nothing more than science fiction.
Some mistakes.
AN NEMP is unlikely to cross open breakers as the pulse is very short, lasting 10s of nanoseconds, in circuits because of inductance & capacitance 10s of microseconds. What happens is that the EMP will induce a current inside all of the buildings wiring. Basically wiring acts alike an antenna collecting the EMP energy. The more surface area (longer wire) the more energy will be collected. Another issue is that EMP will increase the ground state voltage of the earth, which means a grounded wire connected to a device can travel up from the ground & into the electrical device
I believe the Russian NEMP devices are capable of inducing up to 200KV per square meter, which is far higher than 50KV.
As far as RF devices, it does not matter the RF frequency of the device. Radios use a tank circuit (inductor & cap) as a band pass filter to block out frequencies not needed. The antenna will still collect all RF energy some more, some less depending on the antenna length. The issue is going to RF pre-amp which is designed to boost picowatt signals into the receiver, which cannot tolerate the power the antenna will collect regardless of the devices frequency. Consider that antennas will be resonant to multifrequencies. Most antennas are a fraction of the wavelength (ie 1/2 Wavelength, 1/4, 1/8. 1/16, etc). Another words, your cell phone is going to get fried. The only way to protect RF devices is have them in a faraday cage. This includes AM\FM radios, Wifi, cell\smart phones, etc. That said the cell towers are also going to get fried & also lose power, so even if your cell phone isn't fried, its still useless.
Solar panels will also get fried, as the all have a reverse blocking Diode will will fail. Solar panels have a lot of wiring as the individual cells are all connnected. Solar cells are just Diodes that collect light to create current. That can be damaged by an EMP especially considering they have a lot of surface area & are typically wired in series to produce a higher voltage than each cell can produce on its own.
To protect devices using alum foil you have to insulate it from the foil. For instance put the device in a plastic bag, and then wrap it with foil. A cardboard box wrapped in Alum foil will also work. Note the entire surfaces of the box must be completely covered and the must also be in contact on all sides.
CMEs concern me far more than a nuclear EMP strike. I remember how long the people in New Jersey were living in tents after Hurricane Sandy in 2012...
And if the grids large transformers are destroyed time down will be years. A large portion of the population will be dead and gone before a functional grid is brought back.
That was intense
Shout-out to Katrina. 😉🫡
I would put HACKERS as the top threat, then a CME.
CME can be human made , as super EMPs are very very similar. Wouldn't it be nice if you could blame humans for their own demise as they're destroying the atmosphere ? Destroying as well the financial system so you can reset it all based on CBDCs that work off line and personal carbon emissions? Wouldn't everybody who survive accept the only solution to the chaos ? Wouldn't it be credible if it happens during a solar maximum? Let's say.....2025?
Youre great Rob!
Thx for your service n keep the humour too☺️
Thank you Rob, your presentations are always appreciated.
Awesome that you bring this up, i'm also a techy privacy oriented prepper
Thanks for the info, Rob.
Thanks for the better understanding of what to expect and how to prepare, possibly.
Wow, great video. I will need to watch this a few times. So much information. Thank you
That was an extremely informative video! Thank you for posting this important info.
The experts have always said that a nuclear EMP from a bomb exploded at the right height above the center of the US will absolutely fry all electrical and electronic devices, unless they are stored in a Faraday cage. There are some problems even with that. Suppose you save a cellphone or portable radio. The cell system and all the radio stations will be destroyed as well, so the phones and radios will be useless, unless you have a shortwave radio and other people have one too. Computers would be useless to most people, as the internet would be dead. On the other hand, mine will be useful to me because I have thousands of books and entire websites stored on my hard drives, and I have enough solar panels to power a laptop, a hard drive, and a printer, so I would still have a ton of research material available. Plus, I already have hard copies of the most important references. I also have a stereo system, so I could still play my records, tapes, and CDs. But so many people today get all their media through the internet. They will be SOL if there is an EMP. The E1 pulse is the one that will kill devices that aren't even plugged in. Nuclear EMP puts out E1, E2, and E3. A solar EMP only has the E3 burst. Mr. Braxman seems to believe that we won't get a strong enough E1 to kill portable devices. Experts say that the portable devices will be killed. I'm surprised that Mr. Braxman hasn't already stored his electronics in a Faraday cage of some sort. I use multiple layers of plastic and aluminum foil.
In short, I don't believe he's done much research on this problem. I've been researching it for over 25 years and have a lot of information printed out in hard copy so it won't disappear. I have seen demonstrations showing components in radios that have been fried by EMP. Some cars will die from EMP, but some of those will restart.
I agree with you. If you look at a car it’s a group of electronics attached together. It’s easy to say a car will be damaged. But I any given pulse it’s impossible to predict WHAT part will be be damaged. Wipers, radio, ignition or charging. Really it comes down to can You repair your own gear? Without ordering parts? That’s the real question
He is well enough versed in the subject. And there are flaws in your own comments here. Specifically in coms.
I’m not sure who the real enemy is anymore..
The US government. On ALL levels
That's intentional
It is the one whom despots thirsty for power name. You should believe them.
Marxist socialist commies
Yourself, as is below is above. Juice cleanse, spiritually awaken, learn morality and natural law, become independent , stop paying thieves, learn survival skills, etc. The less you depend on the system the less of a system there is.
I keep extra diodes for my solar panels and my old charge controlers tucked away. They say the panels could survive even plugged in. One interesting tip I got from the EMP commission was that resetting some cars after an event may get them started again. At the very least a temporarily running car is a generator even if you have nowhere to go.

Thank you sir for these advises 🥂
Excellent topic Mr Braxman! Soviet project K tests fried over voltage repeaters for hundreds of miles, I can’t recall the fission fusion arrangements of the devices, but America did similar tests that were foia’d - it’s very important to take into account your latitudinal position on earth, because these strikes have to occur even more northward the higher up north the target is. Very scary topic.
It’s really not. Maybe to those who don’t know how or cannot live without electricity it is but🤷🏽♂️ sucks for them
You are correct. The only positive thing that I can say about your comments is that it would be tit for tat. Mutually assured destruction. That is what keeps potential opponents from utilizing these technologies on other countries. The US Government Incorporated has used EMPs abroad, so they know what the outcome will be. Humans can live without electricity and modern electronic devices. That is not the problem. It is the lag time that it would require for humans to adapt to the 1800s lifestyle that would kill millions.
great presentation , this cleared up a lot of questions i had that most discussions simply dont cover or misinform you with jack of all trades homegrown idea's not based on fact , , i'm going to watch this one several times over , cheers big ears from down under
This video should be watched by Everyone, Great Info .
The strongest CME ever recorded happened within the last 4 years, it was so powerful that it has it's own category name, as it was an order of magnitude more powerful that a Charington Event... Lucky for Us it headed the opposite direction, away from Earth...
Kiwix seems like a good topic for this channel. During the part about storing data offline, for when the Internet was out, I was little surprised that it wasn't mentioned.
A manual timer Rice cooker will always survive an EMP attack
old electric stoves also might because they just have big resistive heaters and bimetallic strip to control the heat output.

Russia has already tested the most powerful EMP to date.
@@MyTube4Utoo According to "unnamed sources". 🤣
Amazing stuff Rob and thanks.
Let me ask... If for example a cars or boat battery was totally disconnected so as not to still have a continuity either the circuit wiring and to ground, would that survive/eleviate the EMP affect?
2nd, IF you have in place a designated back-up (UPS) system that is totally disconnected and isolated from circuits and ground and thus would need to be manually connected and started; could this also survive an EMP event?
Cheers from Ontario Canada
One of the reasons why I had a whole home surge protector installed when we had to replace the main panel a couple years ago.
You expecting that to survive the 50,000+volts of a emp?
Thank you
I would be worried about water after an EMP attack or CMV event.
CME - Coronal Mass *Ejection*
I fell asleep watching this.
Then, I dreamed this happened.
Scary situation as it was lucid but felt like reality 😳
I had a dream like that in early 2019. Kind of a weird one to
My wife and I live and cruise fulltime on our 40ft sailboat. For the last 7 years, we have worked to become totally self-sufficient with solar, watermaker, and even replaced our diesel engine with electric when it died. At present, we live as though we were in an apartment, with sufficient LiFePo4 storage for indefinite periods of time. Should an SHTF scenario occur, we will not bug out, as we are home. That being said, we have prepared for a poasible EMP with a solar oven and a portable gas generator. Like you, I am a licensed Ham operator and use my station regularly and consider this equipment to be vital for communications. I use a 20 meter Hamstick with 15ft of RG316 coax. Other than disconnecting the coax, what would your recommendation be for protecting this gear at sea and in use? Great video.
No grid and no coming back. No more communication, no more financial system, no more transport, no more trade, no more industry, no more medicine. And no coming back. Due to the intertwined nature of global supply chains, such an event in US, Asia or Europe would mean the end of civilization. As much as I like the sailboat idea, I'd say it would be only a delay. Eventually you would need to come close to shore for shelter against storms/hurricanes, or even land to gather supplies, fix the boat, etc. Pirates and starving thieves wold be waiting for you. I don't think anyone would survive such an event except perhaps some small tribe-like gatherings reverting back to the stone age. Really, I wouldn't worry about it.
@@EdBender , you put a lot of thought into your reply. We are both over 60. The boat is stocked with essential medical supplies and antibiotics. We have havens to go to for storms and hurricanes where there is nothing and no one. We have tested this lifestyle for the last six years. Five hurricanes, so far. Can't count the number of storms. The difficult part will be forecasting and tracking but that is where communications shine. We have plenty to offer pirates and it isn't food or rum. You are right about it being a delay. All systems degrade, over time, on a boat and on land. I never suggested it was a panacea, only a plan and that's more than most have.
Unless detonation is really close, Emp has near no effect on home devices.
Emp events couple to large low frequency transmission lines such as our power grid.
Our atmosphere stops space x-rays from nuke-ing your cpu.
Rob what is your opinion of EMP SHIELD? for home EMP and lightning protection?
I knew most of this from another CZcams creator, but I really enjoyed the breakdown on wavelength sizes and how the resonate with different wave lengths.

I keep old gensets in running condition as they are less likely to be harmed than those with solid state regulators. Keeping a form of transportation that is devoid of computers would also be a plus.
What is your opinion of these plug in shields for your car?
Personally, I think they are bunk and they really don't expect you to find them after it fails. Like Hawaiian property insurance...
EMP strikes go both ways. Of course the US will never, never do such a thing first. They have shown their willingness to restrain themselves already in Japan, by dropping both nuclear bombs they had at that time instead of only one.
They were going to drop 3 but the emperor surrendered at the last minute.
The US Government Inc. has already used EMPs in combat situations. The second invasion of Iraq was preceded by an EMP to soften them up. The cost to rebuild their grid fell on US tax payers.
ThanQ!
Topical and clearly explained. Great video, Rob. But what happened near the 11:30 mark? You said "I also wrap them in non-conductive addish" as if you were going to say additional, then the edit takes us to the next related topic.
4:00 Well I just did some research on how to protect my PV system, and it turns out there are so called surge protection devices, which are made to clamp a short pulse above it's rated voltage.
There are 3 types apparently, type 1 is heavy duty that offers some protection even against direct lightning hit. Type 2 is somewhat weaker, which supposed to protect against short duration pulses due to induction, and is becoming increasingly common even mandated in some areas even in residential areas. Type 3 is the weakest, but lowest voltage which meant to clamp the already clamped surge and thus protect sensitive appliances in which it is installed. High quality switch mode power supplies often already have type 3 protection devices already built in.
I just purchased a set of Type 2 for my apartment last week, to protect my AC unit and my inverter against short surges until I have some money to install a more serious type 1 device. The Type 2 device I have is rated to clamp surges above 275V (we have 230VAC in EU, so 275V device is appropriate) up to 40kA (that is a short pulse of up to 40,000 Amps)
So I suspect the effect of an EMP may prove to be overrated in some areas, and cause far less damage then expected due to the abundance of surge protection in some region, while in poorer region and where it's not mandated it may be devastating.
Man has been through a lot of things in the past
A metal trash can, with the seams sealed with Faraday tape inside a larger similar metal trashcan with non-conductive foam between, is what I use for my Faraday Cage. I keep a couple portable solar panels, a spare larger charge controller, a couple UHF/VHF handheld radios and my Xiegu G90 HF radio and some other goodies.
Just commenting on the title of the video... More concerned about North American gov't than other "countries"
Sir thank you always for your videos. I trust you over anybody in the MSM these days.
Thanks
just one word... bravo!
Doesn't matter if your devices are fried being that there won't be any infrastructure to power them, or any mobile towers emitting signals for phones. Anyone with a heart pacer wont survive either.
The only problem is that your devices might survive, but you won't 😅 .
In the USA the long distance electricity transmission system operates at between 250 and 750 kV. A mere (nominal) 50kV from an EMP won't notice, because the isolation barriers are easily strong enough to protect against such surges. You have to think though that power stations are going to be a significant target. If you survive, your phone and your microwave oven will still work. There just won't be any power, that's all.
I'm not aware of what "Putin tactical EMP strike" is even supposed to be. Did I miss the news or something?
its possable to make small-scale nukes (think sub-kilo-ton range and look up the 'Davy Crockett' device). now have one of these hooked up to a EMP-bomb.
Yes. In February Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Moscow has no intention of putting nuclear weapons in space. And we all know it always starts with an official denial. Later, in March 2021, Russian President Vladimir Putin told government officials that space projects, including setting up a nuclear power unit in space, should be a priority and get proper financing.
As near as I can tell, Iran will launch on America, and it's set up to blame on Russia.
The end game is Total Global Fascism, and they can't get there without destroying/bypassing the US Constitution (some kind of 'tomic emergency, or something).
Instead of focusing the tactical nuclear device on the ionizing radiation and blast it is "tailored" to radio non-ionizing energy, and it will fry all electronics...forever...
@@michaelstreeter3125 Biden is spelled with a b not a p.
My buddy stores all his stuff in metal office file draw cabinets with metal tape on the gaps on the drawer openings. Will that protect things ?
This is never going to happen as a weapon over large areas, the environment is too big and will soak up most of the energy:
1. Impossible to concentrate that much power over all bands across huge areas.
2. The solar flare of 1859 could have been fake reporting to make up for lack or service when their phone lines failed and or caused fires which might have been another way of getting out of trouble, by blaming it on the sun. No proof!
It can be made as a directed weapon, concentrating the burst at a smaller area but to cover all wavelengths at once is still almost impossible. A laser weapon is an example of a wavelength burst that can destroy but look at radio stations that use 1,000,000 Watts. They don't damage a thing. Now can you make a laser weapon at lower wavelengths? No because you couldn't fit a long wavelength transmitter into a small enough device, let alone a broadband transmitter and antenna. This is what makes laser weapons and directed audio possible, they are higher frequencies or directed devices making them either small enough to fit in a portable device or to direct painful sound waves over a small concentrated distance. Another example of this is directed microwave technology which actually starts to heat people up but, similar to directed audio weapons it can only be used in a concentrated area.
The only thing that could happen is a high voltage spike over the power grid, this can damage electronic devices that are plugged in, if the grid doesn't throw it's breakers in time. But it's very unlikely that it will damage devices running from batteries alone. Solar grid tie inverters may be damaged but it's almost impossible that a solar charging and battery inverter system will be damaged if it's off grid gear.
Wow! this was a masterclass in explaining EMP to the common man.
Just wondering would hard drives be wiped clean as mentioned in the film Blade Runner 2049 (the blackout ?)
He states at 4:33 min that an EMP would pulse the grid to “50,000 volts…which is quite a lot more than the 110 volts we use in our houses”. The last power plant I worked construction on in Texas was sending around 375,000 volts into the grid. He he said 50,000 volts, I didn’t waste any more time watching him. Goodbye!
First time I'm glad someone has the Amazon links in their profile XD
Storing books on an original model Kindle will be better than a cell phone. The old Kindles sell for $10-15 although I'd also change the battery. They can go 2-4 weeks on one charge, unlike a phone. Newer Kindles will cost more, but still can be bargains.
Two things should also be noted: (1) EMP's are strongest directly beneath the explosion, which is likely to be over the eastern seaboard and (2) If there is an EMP, an all out strike is likely within the next few minutes.
People might want to check out 'EMP Shield's. US Military is using this product, also built into the Energy solar generator. I've seen some testing, and it works well.
Some of us have been ready for this for years
can you make a video about that special circuit breaker that prevents spark by encasing the wires in a special gas?
You can install protection in your incomming power, similar to lightning protection, but there will not be a grid
I live on my boat. In summer I can unplug from the grid completely. Thunderstorms or a Carlington event seem much more likely to me than Putin. Russia is doing quite well. No hyper inflation, Plenty of food, gas and oil reserves, good trade with the free world. Most money for weapons in the Ukraine is stolen before any real harm is done.
It's interesting that both party's voted for another 60+ billion with no mention on how it will be traced. As long as the US military industrial boys get their billions.
IIRC in the 1600's there was a stronger storm than the Carrington Event in the 1800's, but since wires and electricity were quite rare then, no damages were reported.
I'm sure you meant to say the WEF s EMP
So in a nutshell how worried should we be about laptops small handheld gaming consoles and cellphone?
Putin isn't who im worried about.
You should be
@@matthewk4930 He's not the one taking away my first amendment right to free speech (amongst other things).
@@matthewk4930 The house of what is supposed to be representatives of the U.S. citizens just passed a bill that strips the first amendment and even would deem quoting parts of the Bible illegal. Yeah it isn't Putin that's the problem.
Neither am I. I’m more worried about our greatest ally and their continuous stabbing us in the back problem. And I’m talking about the ones that are relentless victims of their own actions.
@@WTF-vv8ic Yep that's who I'm worried about too...smol 🎩s
Water heaters, standard home stoves, and gas lines in general will be vulnerable. Forests with power lines in them will catch fire…
Rob, there is an edit around minutes 11:31-11:33, when you add a comment; ''...I also wrap them in non conductive..'' and it is cut off right there without the sentence being completed,
Iam a UK ham radio operator & have bought 3 trash cans & lined with cardboard (checked with FM radio inside, goes dead) I will put my equipment in & other items like TV will insulate with cardboard & wrap in foil & hope for the best. Wrap any power cable inside foil & insulate plug. This building is a faraday cage as it has metal in the walls,
Are you thinking you are going to get advanced warning that a EMP is going to occur? Or do you have a way to watch TV thru cardboard and metal. For that matter all the TV stations will b gone. Fortunately I haven't turned mine on for almost 4 years so sure could not care less.
@@RonaldSkancke I have my gear already in their protective environment & using my stand by gear. So yes I do expect it all to survive.
Can you elaborate on those special surge protectors you mentioned
I would welcome the 1800’s
Yeah, I don't know why but if it happens I'll look more in the Langley, Virginia direction.
Some military vehicles have protective circuits preventing burn out.
If you have solar panels, you will want to get duplicate Bi-Pass Diodes that they have. So you can replace the Diodes if they fail.
Great explanation of the EMP. Would you please explain in more detail this "ALUMINUM FOIL" and could I place my gas powered generator in a box made of aluminum roofing panels including floor?
