WOW! Most CZcamsrs out there could run their mouths for 2 hours on that subject and only spend 3 minutes talking about the meat of the subject, this guy did it in two minutes!
Got a sub just for that
No doubt, LOL, some prepper channels are just , well, over the top!
He "forgot" to mention that all the vehicle in the test were only tested to the point of having a problem occur. NONE of the test vehicles even reached the low end of a nuclear EMP event at 50,000 volts per meter. A super EMP weapon would generate 80,000 volts per meter. Hence the government standard protection level of 80 dbi for shielding of electrical equipment and components. The only car we know for sure will run after such and event is the Hummer. It contains a purely mechanical engine. A 6.2 liter Diesel.
Valuable comment. Thanks.
I was told that many old Mercedes and WV diesel cars would still run.
yeah but you would also be dead if you were near that
@@user-ue4nq3kc3jyou are correct t on older VW's for sure.
Many older vehicles are not affected by emp.
Hey Eng775, how goes it? I've been a subscriber for years and years. I have a question. My 2022 ATV has e.f.i. would it be fried in an emp? Is there anything affordable I can do to protect it? Any help would be great. Thanks.
Any chance of updating the link / tiny URL to protect critical items, please?
Such a great video 👍
If your car trunk is insulated cant it too be some what of a Faraday cage and protect its contents??
I bought a 'cloth faraday cover' for my truck. Still in the shipping box as it was sent to me, ... but I've got it.
looked in the report and saw nothing of what he spoke of, can anyone provide a page # or link on the cars tested?
Which is a better vehicle one made of metal or standard vehicles or fiberglass ? ? ?
As long as your car isn't on when the EMP goes off and has no power source then your car will not be affected same goes for all their electronics as long as they are not on and have no power source they will survive
How about my pacemaker?
Sorry you're screwed... People could even hack into it remotely nowadays.
Read “One Second After” for an accurate description of life after an EMP event. Spoiler- not a lot of fun
If you grounded your vehicle would that make any difference in an emp event.
Vehicles are grounded through the battery and also rubber tires
I'm trying to find a "List" of vehicles that could withstand an EMP So far I have only been able to find that they tested vehicles in the range of 1986-2002 it didn't specify - Does the report specify which vehicles can withstand an EMP or which exact models? Thanks.
The EMP commission did not specify the vehicle make and model. I am still looking for that.
i was going to mention that too. they only tested vehicles up to 2002. we really have no way of knowing how newer vehicles would handle it. just saying.
It's best to convert over to Propane since if I'm right Propane doesn't go bad like gas does? Since you can have storage tanks underground for "heating" it could be used to fire up that Buick, No?
@@SachiWI Yep, propane is the only fuel for running the generator, car and anything else that has to have its fuel sit for a long while and not have the fuel go bad.
Any update?
I wonder if removing the ground on the battery would save it from any affect
What about electric vehicles or hybrids with on board generators or regeneration.
Probably "EMP and Generators" will answer that question.
Those cars would become highway ornaments, vehicles that do not rely on electronics ie mechanical diesels, and non fuel injected gasoline powered vehicles ( almost anything with a carburetor and mechanical ignition would be unaffected)
Yeah I'd like more info on the study as well. This has been on my mind as of late. I even went so far as to buy an old m1009 Blazer just the other week that I knew would be EMProof. I'm sorta having buyer's remorse now, especially after seeing this video.. >_
I would not have this remorse. It's always better to have than have not. And if you watch some other videos you will be ready.
Read the study he referenced lol
BTW if your gonna post a video, have the class to respond!?
The report he is referring to is put out by the government. Do you trust your government?
The test was with limited power vs a nuke or the sun
Deuce and a half multifuel
So my classic cars from the 50s and early 60s will be fine... nice
Crazy mess for sure.. And the people that's buying the EMP Shield now.. Lol.. I'm glad I didn't fall for it. I have an older 94 Dodge ram anyway and that thing is tough..
The only cars able to survive a true EMP or cars from the 80s and 70s and a very very very select few of early 90s vehicles but mainly the ones that will guarantee to survive an EMP are cars 86 and older
No
Emps only take out Electronics that are on when the EMP goes off any electronic that isn't on And has no power source will not be affected
In other words don t buy a $389 emp shield. A better investment is a generator onan 7.5 for surge start up . I m only gonna buy a honda 2 or 3k watt and cover it with Faraday sheet cover. This guy makes sense.
A blanket ANYTHING won't work.. any device must be envelope wrapped.. much like storing your electronics stored in a metal garbage can and sealed with aluminum tape
If cars are not affected, nothing is. I'm a mechanic.
The Grandparents were right! Don’t buy that modern electric plastic bodied car!!
2024 getting close
Well my car and my truck have both been converted to run with carburetors, and mechanical ignition so I’m good either way 😎
What vehicles are able to be converted?
@@Dubz101 if your vehicle has a distributor you can convert it. If you have coil packs you'll need something to trigger the ignition at the appropriate time, fords EDIS system can be adapted with units for 4,6,&8 cylinder engines, they can be found in junk yards in early 90's through early 00's
@@Dubz101 don’t bother mate, just buy an older car
No you're not. Apparently you don't understand shit. I've disabled a carbureted vehicle, it's easy. You're not safe period.
I found it - yeah I'm basically SCREWED! LOL oh well what you gonna do? I sure can't afford to pick up and move and there isn't enough land where I live to to produce enough food to live.
What did you find and why are you screwed?
IF and I say IF our grid goes down from a CME or EMP we are screwed - I don't have the kind of money to buy freezers and buy all this food everyone says you need to have. I can barely put food on the table every day of the month let alone buy a shit load more for a "rainy day" only the wealthy people can afford to do that. I'm lucky to not have any loans on anything. If I did I'd be starving right now. I can live where I am for $500.00 per month - that's internet, heat, lights, a/c phone taxes. the necessities there's NO money for anything extra
Start a community garden
Check into hydroponics. Using vertical PCP pipes with fish. I would also check into using window fans to run a small generator to charge batteries, golf cart batteries, produce energy for refrigeration. You can raise quail in a cage in a corner of your apartment and get more eggs then a chicken and use the waste to feed the plants; just mix it with water and run through the pipes. It takes four eggs to make one chicken egg; but very quiet and breed quickly and you can have a small meal out of the one male bird. I know of people in foreign countries and cities that are growing food in these pipes and quail in a rabbit pen and are growing enough food for them and two other people. They also took their balcony and are raising food outside in the summer with fish in a garbage can. They also have hard wood that they bought, and mushroom plugs, and are raising medical, and food mushrooms. Try to think outside the box and look on You Tube and just don't give up. God Says if their is a will their is a way. You can also use these plants to filter waste for water purification with a few extra steps. Many times you can find all the supplies you need to set these up by going to the junk yard and check at yard sales, Craigslist, and trash day. I threw out a vacuum cleaner and the man that took it took the pump out of it and used it for a project. You can do this just keep your head-up and keep researching and never give-up, never give-up, never give-up. ( Church Hill). Good luck and find Christ; he is the only way that you will survive what is coming. I look at facts and try not to get caught-up in the doom and gloom environment; but something is happening in the solar system that is coming and if we all share our knowledge and we all help each other become more self- reliant we will thrive.
As some other people have said.... look into building up.... not out. Lots of great videos about pallet gardening, trellis, PVC, etc You can even grow a lot on an apt patio. Don't give up. It's more difficult but there are options. Good luck and may God bless you.
I have welder and can build mad max mobile
That study STOPPED when damage started because they borrowed all the vehicles and could not afford to replace all of them, so the full force wavelengths never even got generated. Furthermore, the study is ancient history--far different electronics are in newer vehicles. The results from experts who have done actual testing are extremely unpredictable. There is one exception--pre 1980s vehicles with NO microchips generally survive. Newer vehicles it depended in line of sight, which way the vehicle was pointed, and a host of random factors that add up to total unreliability. Do not count on your modern vehicle working ever again after an EMP. Read more.
fun note, Cars today are more plastic than metal lol.
No EMP will kill bicycle
not buying this
Me either!
He sure was afraid to tell us the best cars. Chicken little.
This is actual Fake News. I read through the "EMP Commission from 2004" he referenced.
This is what the Study says:
"Based on this assessment, significant degradation of the transportation
infrastructures are likely to occur in the immediate aftermath of an EMP attack. For
example, municipal road traffic will likely be severely congested, possibly to the point of
wide-area gridlock, as a result of traffic light malfunctions and the fraction of operating
cars and trucks that will experience both temporary and in some cases unrecoverable
engine shutdown."
The study DOES NOT mention "just turning the key to off then on again".
Why say this nonsense. Fake AF
You are right, he underplayed it majorly. Altho' I'm sure it did mention somewhere that some of the vehicles which stopped could be re-started this way. We are also talking quite old cars by today's standards and limited power being used for the test. I've also seen it reported that the cars were loaned not donated by the manufacturers and not purchased by the EMP Commission and they wanted them back so the testers weren't allowed to destroy them or damage them too much. The bottom line is no one knows what these events will really do until it happens. We can only make educated guesses. Well, maybe the gov't knows but they're just not disclosing. As you point out, transportation includes the road system and other things, not just the cars themselves. Fuel supply infrastructure will affected too. It's gonna be a lottery. Best bet is to buy an ex-mil vehicle as many of those are EMP hardened.
