Wonderful field expedient test !
Thank you AGAIN, love your EMP Book !

How do we determine if it’s protected from EMP and not just exhibiting a signal loss??

[johnbauman]

Hmmmm...and how do we know you're not a ventriloquist, huh? What about that??! Maybe the radios weren't even turned on!

I know this is serious stuff, but when I heard your muffled voice come out of the bag all I could think of was every ventriloquist I've ever seen...and the ventriloquism lesson ads from the old comic books showing a voice coming from a trunk - "Help! Help! Let me out!" LOL! Cracked me up. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

On a serious note, so helpful as always. Ordered a bunch of bags today.
Kind regards!

So i just tested my Faraday Defense bags by using the same method. The walkie talkie was able to transmit voice clearly after four layers of bags. Looks like their claim of >40 db is doubtful.

[ModernCentrist]

You could always just use 2 layers of EDEC black hole faraday bags. That's what the military uses, they are quite expensive though.

same question also for cars would it just basically fry the computer ? I'm thinking about going junkyard shopping for spare computers for all of my vehicles. but I guess my question is would it fry anything else in the car ?
also I have been following a lot of your videos and speeches and they are awesome thank you very much !and you did answer a lot of questions with the vehicles that I did not know before that most of them would just quit temporarily. but in your extensive testing and NASA you said that some Vehicles did receive severe damage. can you state which ones or would that be kind of damning and cause you problems with the car companies ?

How do you know that 50db of protection is enough for an EMP? Just curious how this number is determined. Great video. Really appreciate the insight.

[TORCHBROTHERS]

if an EMP did occur, would it damage all of the components on a circuit board or just certain ones ? and would it fry them visibly ? or without any sign of damage. if it would only damage a few components on a circuit board what would they be? I would almost just rather have a bunch of spare parts to replace things instead of keeping all of my items sealed up in bags all the time or in a metal garbage can.

[Handsworthalpha]

Great info Arthur thank you. I'm dying for a good read anything new?

[arvelrayvaldez]

they say that nuclear emp have 3 components: E1, E2, &E3. is this effective for all these components?

[stubby]

Thanks, I always love your videos. I have very minor knowledge as far as what a large CME or an EMP would create that I would need to protect equipment from. Has anyone ever figured out how much energy the worst case scenario (perhaps a CME) would create? I guess that's what I would like to plan for. Is the 50 dB that maximum number? Thanks again.

Please add a link to your site in the notes.

make each bag 3 layers to begin sheesh

[Lonewolf]

just put them in a steel ammo can that you can buy at gun shows!
