Facts About EMP Protection: Interview with EMP Expert Andrew Bucchin

Which devices are destroyed by an EMP and which are not? In today's video, we interview Andrew Bucchin who is an expert in high-altitude electromagnetic pulses (HEMP), coronal mass ejections (CME), solar flares, and lightning strikes.

Pretty bold statement that Mr. Bucchin makes regarding standing behind their product. If it does work, there would be no reason to contact them. If it doesn't work. it doesn't really matter because society (as we knew it) would be gone anyway. Not much risk on their part.

I just had a lightning strike hit a large oak tree about 25 ft. from my home. We did not notice any electrical problems until my wife tried to use the electric clothes dryer. It wasn't working. We went to the electrical box and saw that the breaker was tripped. Hit the breaker and a flash bang it tripped again we hit it a few times and finally looked up on top of the panel the EMP SHIELD was almost black like it had been burned. Then we knew lightning had hit our electrical system. We had an electrician come out that day and he knew what happened. He took off the panel cover and showed us what happened. The EMP SHIELD has to be connected to a 220v line and that was the dryer. He disconnected the wires to the dryer and all was well.

The EMP SHIELD took the hit from the lightning and did its job with on harm to our electrical box or service. We called The EMP people and they sent a new unit out to us in 2 days at no charge (usually its a $50. charge).
THANKS GUYS.

In a world gone dark, your home lit up will be a beacon emblazoning provident prepping. From across the valley they will come.

Everybody is worried to death about their cell phones. What good will it do when the cell phone tower is fried?

[coffeefirstthenspeak]

This was great!! I actually had a phone get hit by lightning back in the 80's. My mother used to yell, don't talk on the phone in a lightning storm and I alway blew her off...then one night. huge bang, phone across the room smoking. lol. believed her after that :) I am thinking about this for my home, more for lightning then anything else. If an EMP or CME took everything down, my car wont do me any good running. Either, it will be taken away from me, just over run by people (ever see war of the worlds ) or I just wont be able to pass all the cars and people blocking the road...Live in a very populated area. But lighting strikes, thats the biggest possibility and something I really never thought of. Thank you for this !! its was very informative !

[theoriginaldashriprock]

You are correct, an EMP will likely be the worst case scenario we could experience. And a hard reality that most Preppers either do not realize, or refuse to see is that there really is no way to prepare for an EMP. Once Society collapses, likely within a few days of an EMP, it will be every man for himself. Those who have prepped will be able to survive a little longer, but only some of them. If anyone knows that you are a prepper, and have stockpile food, you are a Sitting Duck! Once your neighbors kids start dying of starvation, those neighbors and friends of yours will turn to desperation and will take from you whatever they have to do to survive. And I feel sorry for these YouTube Preppers, everyone knows that they have a stockpile of food and supplies. They will be the first ones to go down, and likely lose their lives in that process. The key in prepping is to not let anyone know. That will buy you a few more days, a few more weeks maybe longer depending on where you live.

If it doesn't work for an EMP, how are you going to contact customer service? Communications will be down and nothing will be able to be done about it. Genius! 😂

[oldmarriedcouple]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for this great interview with Mr. Bucchin! Amazing information that us regular folks can understand! You all are such a blessing to the world.

Read the book “One Second After” by William Forstchen. Very scary to read what will happen to civilization after an EMP 😳😩

[g-whiz]

HEMP is a high energy (megawatts), broad spectrum (all frequencies), nano-second pulse. While the device inside Mr. Bucchin's EMP shield may be an extremely fast avalanche device, the wires (or inductors) leading in and out of the device slow down, attenuate, and basically isolate the device at extremely high frequencies. Furthermore, while I don't doubt Keystone's ability to create a testable pulse disturbance in the lab, no one really knows if a device is EMP proof unless it is subjected to a real-world EMP. As far as I know, I don't think anybody has actually detonated an EMP to see if their stuff says what they claim. IT"S ALL SPECULATION!

That’s why I have a 1972 Ford Courier with the old points style ignition as a “ hopefully it works” backup.

[julieth]

Thanks so much for sharing this! This answered some lingering questions I had. We had an EMP Shield installed on the new home we built and I’m grateful.

[tacocat]

When i think of DHS. I am immediately filled with a warm fuzzy feeling of trust... NOT!😂

[ArnCital]

My '85 Ford 4x4 w/ 460 engine carries 55 gallons of gasoline which I keep fueled all the time. It has a factory electronic ignition; that is all the electronics the engine needs to run as it has a carb. I have a mechanical distributor with points anda voltage regulator for the alternator that I can install in under several hours which is immune to emp. These older vehicles (damn Cash for Clunkers via obummer) are well worth having when SHTF after EMP. I have material and plans for a gas fuel generator using wood and vegetation gasses through the carb.

[Gunnyfelker]

Depends on the EMP. If its a Superflare, which we are expecting any day now, you are looking at a X1000 to X10, 000 flare. The magnetosphere is down 25% (3 auroras in low latitudes this spring alone). Those flares will burn anything with wiring. Like every structure in a first world country. All cars. Big threat.
Great points guys but think bigger.

[bobhoward]

Great guest and information ❤
Thank you

[MsAce]

Thank for this!! I have considered EMT shield. Didn't believe it could work. I've watched so many EMP videos that really haven't made it easy to understand. This 35 minutes has cleared uo 3 years of confusion. Now I will add EMT shiled tk the list for my cars 😀

[theimperfectpantry]

Excellent explanation. I really appreciated the concise answers .

[lowmanite]

Thank you so much for this video. It clarified a lot of questions that I had about the EMP Shield. Using your discount code, I bought one for my home and some hours later, I bought one for my vehicle. It seems like a lot of money, but if needed, they will be the best bargain ever. About 24 years ago, I spent a fair amount of money on Y2K, though it never panned out, I have no regrets. It is all a matter of which side of the door do you want to be standing on: prepared or not prepared for such an eventuality. Thanks again and God bless.
