Скачать или смотреть What is and isn't impacted by an EMP?

An EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) might sound like sci-fi, but its potential impact is all too real. Here’s a quick rundown:

✔️ What’s Generally Safe:
Simple batteries & solar panels (without complex electronics)
Basic electrical devices like flashlights
Older vehicles (pre-1980s)
Electronics in a Faraday cage

❌ What’s Vulnerable:
Devices with integrated circuits & microchips (Yes, your smartphone, computer)
Electrical grid infrastructure (Think big blackout)
Modern home appliances (Fridge, HVAC, you name it)
Medical equipment (Pacemakers, hospital machinery)
Solar power systems (The inverters, specifically)
Financial systems (ATMs, online banking)
Most cars post-1980s (ECU, ignition, ABS, power steering)

🔌 Grid Connection Could Matter:
Devices connected to the grid are at higher risk due to induced currents.
Off-grid might be safer, but no guarantees—various factors influence EMP effects.

🧐 The Bottom Line:
The science behind EMPs is clear, and the potential for societal disruption is significant. What remains uncertain is if or when such an event might occur.
