In this video we repeatedly hammer an EMP Shield home protection unit (and several electric devices connected to it) with over 360,000 volts of static discharge energy which is regarded as a valid simulation of an EMP strike.
Before this video was recorded, we hit the same EMP Shield test-bed with multiple one to five second pulses, ranging from 20,000 to 200,000 volts. All totaled, the one EMP Shield device we used was hit well over 100 times.
If you want to protect your property and electrical devices from EMPs, CMEs and lightning strikes, watch this shocking video to find out if the EMP Shield home protection unit actually saved the devices we connected to it.

NOTE TO THE IGNORANT HIDING BEHIND THEIR KEYBOARD ... Before making a comment and confirming you're an ignoramus, read up on using a Marx Generator to create electrostatic discharges to mimic a high energy EMP threat condition. This is a widely accepted methodology. Nobody is interested in you spewing theoretical crap that nobody can prove. If you disagree with our testing process you're welcome to say so. However, if you break out the knives we'll respond in kind. THINK BEFORE YOU COMMENT. Our videos are NOT a soapbox for crybabies with a Hall Monitor complex. If you want more details on how we moderate the comment section see our friend NotARubicon Randy's video here ... ruclips.net/video/mAtkSLFx3PQ/видео.htmlsi=fyrCoYqw39aPqk3a. It's the gold standard for dealing with dickheads.
Ignoramus? I haven't heard that word in 40 Years thanks for making me smile you guys see the greatest
Nasty little SOBs. Something to hide?
I've deployed EMP Shields, in my home and cars, for several years but it's very reassuring to see an independent, compelling validation of their protection. Many thanks.
Thank you!
I want to take the testing to the next level now!
You are serving America. You guys are real HEROES. Thank you all. Keep doing what you are doing and please never give up. For America, for humanity, for our kids, for our future. Thank you 🙏❤️🙏
Kind comments! Thank you
I bought these at Christmas for 2 of our vehicles, our backup generator, our side-by-side, our shop, our home and another large storage building. Thank you so much for doing this. I’m sure my husband will appreciate your hard work. Thanks again. An avid listener and patriot in GA/FL.❤️🇺🇸💙
Godspeed friend
Your neighbors!
Can you please explain? They don't just make them for houses?
I thought about faraday cages for radios and a few electronics.
I'm 62 years old. I bought one of these for my suv, same brand 2 years ago. I also bought an emp trap for the cigar lighter port. I installed everything myself, it's very easy to do and took very little time to complete the job. I do feel much more secure.
That's awesome!
These are really not difficult at all to install. I am also making a few purchases as are a few of my co workers.
Where did you find the one for your vehicle? I'm new to all of this
@darylwalker256 I know EMP shield has them direct from their website
I bought one for my truck. I am very thankful that you guys tested this product. It's one thing taking a company for their word, but to see it in action working is a huge sense of relief. Great job!
Our pleasure!
Steve, your findings were SHOCKING!
(Achievement Unlocked: First Pun)
😂
Lol, punny guy! I got a bit jumpy after a couple zaps. That voltage coupled onto everything metal!
Thanks for conducting the test of the EMP shield. Has anyone contacted their homeowner insurance company or auto insurance company and inquired about a discount for having the shield installed?
Great video! These capabilities is exactly why we partnered with EMP Shield! Well done 👍🏻
That is great!
Damn!!!! This is epic! You guys are solid! Great work. Really appreciate the amount of effort that went in to your testing, and the layman's terminology delivery for all of us to understand it. God bless you and yours.
Thank you! Godspeed friend.
Thank you! I am constantly reminded that I take the knowledge for granted, and my wife tells me that I need to explain it because others don't know! I try to break it down to show the best I can.
@@AnythingOutdoorswithSteve yes sir. I am a welder by trade, so I can relate. It is easy to become immersed in our trades, and not recall that it is totally alien to others. But seriously, you knocked it out of the park. I followed almost everything y'all explained, and y'all's demonstration was super impressive. I was blown away that it impacted the rest of your home. Lol my friend said it looked like the world's biggest tazer
@@guyinthewrinkledwrangler even getting hit from the residuals, I don't want to get close to it! There is a reason all the lichtenberg wood burning videos were removed from tic tok and other platforms, a few people did the stupid test and failed, took the pavement temperature challenge. I do that with my 20 Kv transformer, it does quite well!
@@AnythingOutdoorswithSteve damn. Ya, I saw that it bit ya afew times. Not the same, but the tig machines that I work with have a high frequency option that allows you to start your ark without needing to touch your tungsten to the material but using basically an on/off button. So like your wires did, it will bridge a gap....only a gap of about an inch. And like your wires, it does make quite a bit of audible sound, and you can see the arc bridging between your tungsten and the base metal. If you do it instead to your finger, it won't really bite you, it just tickles..... Unless you elbows are wet from sweating, and you are leaning on the table....then it feels like someone punched you in the arm pretty hard, and you wind up violently throwing your tig rig. Lol Were you in danger of your heart stoping when that thing bit you? They say 120 is the most dangerous for that.
Cool video ,I'm an old electrician and love tech gear so this video was awesome.I think it's worth the cost if it saves your hones electrical system but it really dont matter if the grid goes down before your home..
I’m definitely not familiar with all this. But quick question. Wouldn’t you still get power if you have the EMP shield and a Generac that’s EMP protected? Thank you.😊
@dawnbrown7964 ... Yes you would.
@dougstanley7662 ... Many of us have solar PV systems and generators with everything protected from EMP strikes. If the grid goes down we'll still have electricity.
I agree with the grid comment as the main condition we all would experience. This is where you start building your small generator setup and then expand to battery backup with split phase inverter (I settled on aims) and after that, solar for extended outage.
Been waiting for this one all day. Excellent job fellas. I will be sharing this with some non-believers. Keep up the good work.
I now want to just increase the voltage and amperage on this! I want to build a 1.2 million volt and hit it. This cost about $300 in parts, and I lost several relays, power supplies, and my Ideal clamp meter (1000v). I lost the meter when I used the high volt test lead to attempt to catch the voltage spike. It was worth it to me, just to see if this thing really does what it says.
I have a house in town, homestead we are working on in the country, both of our vehicles and the side x side all protected by EMP shield. I trust it.
Where did you find and what are good brands. New to all of this.
Please and thank you
@@darylwalker256EMP-Shield is the brand & the product.
Just bought an EMP Shield for our house. Great Show.
Thank you!
First off, Steve welcome to testing and I'm quite pleased it wasn't resulting in a room temperature safety challenge. I'm an EMC Engineer and I started as an EMC Technician at HP.. I am grateful you have so much acumen as Master Electrician. Just to let you know, the testing by Keystone is not in house but totally independent accredited by an outside accreditation agency with equipment whose calibration is both current and traceable to NIST. Steve's data is interesting but unsupported.
Dr. Arthur Brown also has solutions for EMP mitigation.
Absolutely, this test is anecdotal. This is also my view when I see a company boast that they had their equipment tested at an independent laboratory! It sounds nice, but I can say grand statements as well. This is more to put my mind at ease- especially with rated specs of 100kv protection levels. That isn't a whole lot in the ESD/ EMP realm and if that is the maximum they laboratory tested, what happens above those levels?
Now of course, scaling this up to even 800kv presented quite a few additional challenges and subsequent failures.
This was a super educational video. I'm glad I have it on my vehicles. Need one for the house now. I just prioritized my investing to getting home or BO first
Killer acorns😂
We had to mention the acorn thing as it's totally a Florida Man thing. Lol.
@SurvivalDispatch oh I watched the video it's hilarious I see they are doing acorn challenge on x now too. I know the cop resigned but did the dude they put in the back seat get hit at all?
@@GlobalImpact1773 ... We will be cracking acorn jokes for many years. Lol. The first report we read said the guy in the backseat was killed, but the latest we've seen says he survived.
Definitely the BO first! At least, depending on the scenario, because if the BO is easy to get to after a collapse scenario, then maybe the house first. Of course I hale redundancy on each panel with at least a tvss. Thank you for watching!
You guys had me worried for a little bit! Thanks!
😎
YOU? As a safety guy... I was chewing my nails the whole time we were doing this test!!!
Me Too!😅😂😅
It was a lot of fun- coming from a guy hiking ridgelines to wind down. I made sure I was using the one hand rule and discharging the system multiple times before touching. I would let it sit for a minute (off camera) then discharge again. The ESD coupling onto conductive surfaces was not expected and still got me! The ozone in the air should have been my reminder...
I already have EMP Shields installed in my vehicles, another to be installed at the house
I think I am now most skeptical of the solar protector- only because the large range of solar output capabilities. I have not looked yet to verify if you purchase those specifically for the charge controller voltage to be properly matched. This would be the variable that brings me greatest concern, because you can have solar arrays voltage in excess of 600 volts (depending on inverter used), and as low as 12 volts.
Where do you find them and any suggestions about good ones or bad? Trying to catch up
Very informative! Thanks guys 👍🏻
Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Awesome! Thank you guys for going to all the work that you do!
Our pleasure!
Thank-you so much, for everything you guys say and do fir a lot of people, definitely a blessing to many. 💯🎯🙏🙋♂️🇺🇲🇨🇱
We're flattered. Thank you Russell!
Thank you!
Awesome. Good to see someone test it instead of talking crap on Reddit.
Thank you. Stay tuned for the next round. We’re in the process of building a 1.2M volt Marx Generator. And yes. You read that right. 😎
Most informative channel on You Tube that Ive found up to this point. Thank you gentlemen.
Thank you for watching!
You just gained a sub! Love the content but love the "Note to the Ignorant..." even more!
Whew 😅 great purchase then lo. Had me worried there for a bit. Great video! I would love to have y’all on my podcast. I was an infantry paratrooper for 14 years and started my podcast not too long ago. 👍 I got so many questions.
There is too much information! I realize that if you are not completely compelled to learn the information, most people's eyes start to glaze over as soon as you start talking about the math and science. They just want the answers!
Great video, guys. I think I've solved the e.m.p. issues. All these electronics run on smoke. Because every time you let the smoke out of them, they stop working. So maybe we don't run them on smoke. 😂😂😂
My destruction test, sadly I lost the footage, but it wasn't super compelling visually. Other than the smell, there wasn't much to see. The 24v transformer I used for the hvac power supply took the brunt of the destruction and the gfci. The LED lights simply stopped working. The power supply had to be taken outside, where it remains.
All electricity runs on smoke! Once the smoke is let out, it stops working! Too much cheech and chong.
Love the Klink imitation, lol. They don't make shows like that anymore.
Indeed. Those were the good ol' days.
I have EMP Shield on my main breaker panel to my house, my EG4 solar inverters, my home GMRS radio base station and my lifepo4 batteries... Im now looking into the EMP Shield for my cars. Ive had all of mine for over 2 years now. Ive spoken to customer service many time with questions and they have always had answers.
Thank you for adding your experience
Thank you 😊
The "DOE EMP Resilience Action Plan January 2017" in its introduction has a good description and graph of the E1, E2 and E3 events. Additionally "19_0307_CISA_EMP-Protection-Resilience-Guidelines" has info on what you can do on four levels from basic to advanced.
The information they provid is helpful as long as you can grasp what it means! We all try our best to provide the actual solutions for anyone to digest. My first appearance on the Survival Dispatch show was, glaze your eyes over- type information. More of the, why you need to do this for proper protection. I have promised Chris that I would make a video for quick and simple Faraday solutions that won't break the bank.
@@AnythingOutdoorswithSteveA simple Faraday solutions video, done like you did with the EMP Shield, I think would be very helpful to many people. Many don't understand the subject well and with your testing, you would be showing them what does work.
All of f my comments were like a question about the Marx generator , how it works and how it discharges. And how the EMP sheid can combat the issues of such high energy pulses. I was comparing the things I mentioned to the Marx generator to see if it's basically the same energy pulses. Sorry if you misunderstood, I was trying to find out how the EMP shield works internally.
I am assuming you researched majority of your answers already, but essentially a series of high voltage capacitors that discharge all at once from an dielectric breakdown on an air gap, causing the cascade effect.
As to the emp shield, it shunts the excess voltage to ground. The internal operation of the unit was my question as well, and only assumed they utilized MOV (metal oxide varistors) to complete this function, but sadly the box is epoxy filled. I could destroy for science!
I didn’t understand most of what you were saying & doing. Not because you weren’t clear, it’s just that I don’t understand the “electrical” terminology. As a female, this does not come naturally to me but I’m learning. I bought 2 of the EMP Shields a year ago. I installed one in my car. The other I will have someone install for my SHTF home. TY!
The inductancy is what get to your house and affect the electronic equipment in your house. You don't have to be connected in the way that that happened. Also, you can use a small mirror if you work with resistance hycapacity resistance in your line and you can use Alex capacity for theater.
That was experienced first hand with the ESD induced onto any conductive materials nearby- I believe even my house wiring, which I was not expecting. This is likely why my battery backup went into fault mode for high voltage for my refrigerator and freezer upstairs.
Good video. Don't forget that we will like the bugs as well.
I have eaten plenty of bugs already. Mealworms are better than grasshoppers.
Great content! 💥🇺🇸
Good video. What size X class CME would the EMP Shield protect from?
I am confident this will protect against any CME. An EMP blast close enough and with a blast wave parallel to conductors will induce a high amperage load. The voltage will build to exceed the dielectric breakdown of the air gap and discharge. There will be a maximum voltage experienced on any grid lines before that discharge. This is one reason I want to bump this up to 1.2 million volts and test again!
A home made spiral line generator would output far more juice than that marx bank will. You can make one from a couple rolls of bakers aluminum foil, lascsping plastic a 5 gallon bucket of transformer oil, some pipe for the spark gap and some battery operated source for charging up the spiral line cspacitor assembly. On its own it peaks in 60nS, but with an antenna and reflector the pulse can be cut to only 4ns. The output can be well into the MV range. Most importantly it will accurately simulate the E1 wave.
I was initially working with a DC collapsing field transformer coil to produce the high voltage, but it wasn't giving the desired results I wanted. I also kept burning up my relays as I increased the amperage and voltage with their rapid open and close to collapse the field. Without a high induction on a coil, I struggle to get the output voltage high enough and keep the insulation properties intact for the conductors, so I settled on the marx generator. I do want to increase this output to over 1.2 million volts and fire up the test bed again, but I have to get more test equipment (mostly the hvac controller) after I destroyed all the equipment.
Good info
Thank you for watching!
Bad Wolf LLC manufactures units here in the USA
What components do they use for their circuitry? I guess you may only be able to answer if you have one or are an insider.
Very interesting conversation - Thanks y’all! I guess I will invest in a few shields. Question: Do you have any info on the US govt had AM radio stations hardened against cme/emp?
I really wish emp shield made a plug in device for electronics.
I believe Chris held one up towards the end of the video. It appears to be a cord plug, 120v device. Keep in mind, I showed this shunts the voltage to ground, so a good ground is needed. It would also only provide protection to 1/2 of your household split phase, and I would mount it as close to the panel or service as possible.
@@AnythingOutdoorswithSteve Thank you for your reply. I just need to save my freezer. LOL Electronics and electricity is way above what my mind can process.
@patriciacox8169 ... Steve is correct. You can get the EMP Shield with a plug on one end and a six gang receptacle on the other here when they have stock: inergytek.com/collections/accessories/products/emp-shield-ac-power-protection-module
Great episode gentlemen. Thank you all for the episode, Steve, TY for risking your life for science. ? Who would you recommend installing EMP shield for my house and should I let my local Electric company know this? Thank you for the great work you are all doing!!!. Army Strong, “If you see me running, try to keep up”.
If you know someone local who’s familiar with EMP Shield they can handle it. Or, reach out to Mike at Switch It Up. He has licensed and insured electricians across the country. survivaldispatch.com/switch-it-up/
Its just a double-throw 20A breaker switch and 4 wires, 2 for "hot" on L1 and L2, and a ground, and a neutral(ground back to powerco). I was fairly new to this stuff and got mine installed just fine, its really not too difficult in most cases.
Thank you guys for putting this out!!!
One question: You mentioned at approx 11:00 that it may not work with a floating ground. Is that referring to the test or the EMP shield? If the latter, does that mean it may not work in a system with a floating ground, like a vehicle? In that case, do you suspect that the vehicle EMP shield may be ineffective if it isn’t connected to true ground?
Steve was referring to an old method of grounding buildings by using the metal conduit that the wires we run in, as opposed to an 8' or 10' ground rod.
As Chris mentioned, the household unit shunts to ground, so you must have a good ground connection for your panel, proper ground rods and at some point in your system, a bonded neutral- which is a code requirement at any separately derived system.
The vehicle version had me skeptical as well initially, but the battery (lead acid) is the device that absorbs the voltage spike. It is fully capable of handling this. The one caveat to this is if you also use high saturation ferrite cores to clamp voltage spikes, then the negative must be connected either directly to the battery or before any ferrite core on the negative. I would check with EMP shield for the proper connection because I only assume that it shunts to negative for the automotive version, as being the most likely. Either way, if one were to put a ferrite on the shunted path, it would impede the ability to shunt the voltage.
Hopefully this clears up your questions, but I may be able to explain more or differently if you still have questions.
I've had an EMP Shield on my truck for a couple years and I call it my $390 insurance policy for my $30k truck. It's the best investment I've ever made. I'm still working on saving up for another unit for my solar generators, but the problem I've come across is that EMPS doesn't make units for the various solar generators like they did the Inergy. I was told to get the plug-in model for my RV and keep the generators plugged into that. That option has recently gone out the window because I'm about to move to a more "primitive" location and I'm not taking the RV. Do your experts have any ideas?
Chris showed a unit that was a 120volt cord plug version. This could simply plug into the portable power bank. Be sure to remember the mention of "this shunts to ground " and drive a couple ground rods to hook your ground lug of the power bank to the ground rods!
@@AnythingOutdoorswithSteve Thank you.
I just happened across this channel, lot's of info,
You have a new sub,
My question is will a metal cage protect a generator,..❓
I've seen videos on it. But don't want to waste my time and money
Anything that provides a minimum of 120db of suppression with no gaps in continuity will protect anything in it. Obviously you couldn't run your generator in a Faraday container, but you could store it in one.
Chris beat me to it. No holes greater than .29 mm, solid continuous highly conductive materials are required for the best Faraday cage foe EMP protection. CME, a mesh is acceptable. If you were to build a snail shell room of conductive material, then an opening is possible for ventilation. My understanding is that a switchback corridor or multiple 90° corners will also block the EM effects- similar to radiation protection for underground shelter corridors. Hopefully I described this well enough to understand.
coould you please add the links in the video details of your guests. Thanks fan of your content and these roundtable talks.

What links are you seeking?
Really helpful thanks! Can you do a video about how we can protect cars and motorcycles - with electronic fuel injection? Is there any way? Thanks for all your great work!
Will old microwave ovens make an effective far away cage?
No. The door seals are easily penetrated by EMPs and electricity in general.
Microwave Faraday cages are designed for 2.4 Ghz frequency, and the door leaks EMF. In other words, don't stand close to the door of an active microwave. This is above the 1 watt safety threshold. They also will not be effective for EMP attenuation on any sensitive electronics.
Hi guys awesome video loved it I believe in EMP shield so much I bought two one for my pickup and one for my buddies Yukon. I have two ecoflow Delta pros so I can go to the inergy website and buy the EMP Shields to protect those? I also have 6 200 watt solar panels how do I protect those from CME or EMP thank you
That's awesome!
Yes, both inergy and emp shield have devices for the portable power banks and solar. I do still have hesitations on the solar protector since solar array voltages vary drastically. I am not sure if they sell voltage specific devices or if the assumption is that panels can be wired in series to voltages around the 1500v range and to protect beyond that? I would love to have someone from EMP shield answer some of these questions.
I have a Question other than a Comment. Will I need to connect an EMPShield to my HVAC unit if I already have one connected at the table end of the house main breaker box?
2 -4 years on substation transformers
💯
Potentially longer to indefinitely! If foreign competition is our sole provider, and we are in a pickle...they may let us pickle.
I used to test traction motors on locomotives.restance, test hipot ,meger don't mess with the hipot the motors run on 440 dc.we did have acdc motors both types.we had to test run the motors on wood blocks with a switch and power supply at about 300 volts .
Curious what your take is on the difference between the DEFCON product and EMP Shield and which is more effective
We haven't had the opportunity to look into DEFCON products, but if they're reading this comment sections we'd be happy to do so at some point.
I remember seeing their emp alert box and was highly critical of it because it is a passive device only. It's great if it happens to be in a location that it's audible and you immediately run to your electrical panel to open the main breaker.
The car protection they sell, the high saturation ferrite cores are a great idea to limit surge currents, so if installed correctly, they are a great addition. I would assume their device also uses MOV's, so it may work similarly. Just be sure to attach the return lead (shunt lead) to the battery instead of after the ferrite core. Otherwise the ferrite will limit the shunt current as well!
Hi
What satellite radio do you recommend having in the city where you don’t need a license.
What about these electronic key fobs. If I put an EMP protector on my vehicle whats protecting my key fob.
Please can yall buy the emp defcon device and do the same test to it please
We will reach out to them tomorrow. Thank you!
How quickly will it trip the main 200 amp breaker i home power panel, removing my house from to extremely long power grid lines
It doesn't open the main breaker but instead shunts any voltage over a set parameter, to ground. I am assuming they are utilizing MOV metal oxide varistors, but have not confirmed that or VDR- voltage dependant resistors. Some areas have included VDR's on main transmission lines to help with CME and EMP effects- both natural and unnatural.
I have them on my house and vehicles.... I believe something is better than nothing. I'm ex-military and have dove in nuke stuff, and its pretty nasty. Salute
By the way last year March 22 2023 we did have a G4 electromagnetic storm that was in the severe range. Also I believe the KP index did reach close to 8 and this was a long duration event. I am an electric plant operator retired when that happened but they were notified.
look up the emp doctor
We are familiar with him
Ok so can you tell me everything that’s needed to protect a home and the setup.
@Dan-bj1cz ... Hey Dan, just click this link , go to the Shop link, select home protection, and select the flush or surface mount model. When you use this link you'll get $50 off. After you receive the product call an electrician, we recommend Switch It Up 720-726-3326 as they have national coverage and specialize in this type of equipment, and that's it. You can also call Switch It Up and have them provide the EMP Shield device and installation services if you want them to look after everything.
@@SurvivalDispatch Great thank you so much. Also your saying switch it up provides a service to monitor the equipment?
@@Dan-bj1cz ... No sir. They can provide the EMP Shield and services to install it. Or, if you buy it direct from EMP Shield you can have them install it.
A good solar storm will knock out the grid, too.
Carrington Event, anyone?
If you watched the entire video you'd know that we addressed CMEs and specifically discussed the Carrington event.
@@SurvivalDispatch Sorry, had to skip out.
We're due for another as Earth magnetic field continues to weaken and shift.
@williamevans6522 we are overdue for a multitude of events. See; pole shift, super volcano, CME, earthquakes...
Plan for what you can, don't worry about what you can't! Water, food, shelter, first for your most likely of disasters and you won't regret it!
@@AnythingOutdoorswithSteve Yup. Campi Flegrei ( Italy) is quite large and active supervolcano.. ..couldn't pay me to visit anywhere in Europe/ Asia.
Eyes open, no fear.
Be safe everyone
One question about the test was he didn’t use a 20 amp fuse that is supposed to be the feed to the EMP shield. For a whole house shield it is fed through a double pole breaker but for this experiment he could have tried to use a single pole 20 amp breaker. I believe that breaker is only to protect the EMP shield but it did show it could take high voltage hits. I did share the video.
I will definitely add this to the mix on the next testing session. We are not close to a 20 amp load for the breaker to trip, and most breakers are similar to snap switches in function with no susceptible electronics (leviton, gfci, arc fault excluded.) I am saving up $ for a higher voltage testing coil with high frequency vs 1 second pulses. I attempted to scale up the existing with tons of failures, back feeding that bit me and fried electronics. I did get a couple 800kv bangs before the power supplies got fried!
@@AnythingOutdoorswithSteve , I think about a possible CME as more of a possibility because of the active solar cycle we are in. If given enough notice I wonder if opening up the main breaker would be some form of protection or I have thought of pulling my electric meter. I have experience with electric meters. After watching your demonstration I think electrical arc could jump the 4” between the sockets the meter goes in. Now I am thinking of adding some type of translator between the four legs, line and load. Maybe heavy duty rubber 1/4” mat.
@donalberda1344 in the full length video I had done both a static and dynamic test (dynamic being less exciting). CME will be highly damaging to transformers and motor loads in operation at the time. Yes, sensitive electronics could also be susceptible, but basic Faraday principles will provide adequate protection. If you absolutely know what you are doing (deadly mistake easily made) you could pull the meter base and ground the secondary side. This would *¹shunt any static discharge jump straight to ground. Opening the main would add to this protection as the only path to ground. The EMP shield *¹ does this automatically, but a low impedance ground is necessary for proper protection (closest to the source is recommended). I highly questioned its ability to offer protection anywhere in the circuit, but thinking through the fundamentals of electricity "flow" as not really a flow, but movement of electrons back and forth from atoms, it made sense that it worked as a protection device. Similarly when I became the path to ground on my scaled up 800kv generator. Even using an isolated relay with separate power source on the coil, a plastic switch, closed with insulated grip tool, while standing on a tire and getting hit with back fed collapsing coil voltage. When I utilized an insulated fiberglass rod from 6' away, I no longer was the path to ground, but it blew up the isolation relay, then all the power supply transistors. I was the shunt to ground previously and removing that destroyed all the electronics. This could be an hour long conversation causing unintended involuntary sleep!
I am filming a video tomorrow hopefully, if I can get a congruent storyline, showing that a milkjug thickness of hdpe plastic will insulate at least 20kv. This could also be unrealistically used as an insulator, but the above story shows just how tenacious electricity is in finding a path to ground. If that ground is provided in the meter can ( as it should) then it would likely jump from the lug to the can first, before making the leap to the secondary lugs.
Static electricity is a DC current correct? Via, an emp or CME or lightning. I know they operate differently, especially lightning. With lightning, it's a static charge that is trying to balance the electrons between the atmosphere and the earth. And the actual damage occurs when the electrons leave the earth and travel up to the atmosphere. I could be wrong about lightning but just what I have learned. But I know that an emp or CME have several waves. E1, E2, and E3.. which of those are the most damaging? The emps and cmes, are they trying do do the same thing, are they trying to find the shortest path to ground?
With the SpaceWeatherLive app at least we could see a CME coming. Question, would the bigger CME be faster or slower than the smaller ones? Smaller one have taken 24 to 36 hours to reach the Earth after notification.
The slow-moving, large CME is the one that will cause massive damage. It has more time to saturate the transformer cores and cause meltdowns on those and motors.
@@AnythingOutdoorswithSteve Thanks!
An EMP doesn't just travel down wires.
Am I missing something? @16:12 I feel like I've seen the test conducted with the power to the lights disconnected? I hope I've missed something because I don't know when the EMP is coming to go turn everything off before it hits...
Without question, these were tested in the unenergized state- as I didn't trust emp shield claims, plus this is beyond their specifications. What you don't see is that I drove a separate ground rod and tied it to a chain link fence for a lower impedance ground- bypassing and isolating my entire household from the tested voltage. The 120v is a nominal voltage that has little reference whether applied or not when pushing 400,000 volts.
The side effects of doing this test indoors was the induced voltage that coupled onto the internal house wiring, and did have adverse effects, including taking out my UPS running my freezers. I thought that it might be salvageable, but today, continues to go into fault mode often. That being said, I could now use that UPS as the isolated power source, driving the 120v to remove any potential concerns! It would be my luck that it would go into fault right as I zap it...
The alternate intent to removing a power source, is the potential of alternate paths to help reduce the overall voltage spike. It'll it is on a stand alone and isolated circuit, it only has one pathway to travel, and that is through the EMP shield alone. I hope this explanation helps.
@@AnythingOutdoorswithSteve so in effect, if you'd had an EMP shield on the House's breaker panel, you think the negative effects of affected electronics would have been prevented? ....Which would have been the ultimate test?
@@ahuggins6 yes I do. I do have a whhouse surge suppressor (leviton brand) but something got by it. The ups has new batteries installed roughly 6 months previously. In operation for the last 2.5 years. No load changes and under rated watt hour specs. It used to run both freezers with compressors running for an "estimated run time" of 45 minutes- not that the compressors run continously. Battery backup systems are known to fail on the converter circuit, but this would be a random failure during AC power mode- which happens less frequently.
Random induced voltage to the house wiring is a lesser test than a direct strike to an isolated setup- in my opinion.
There is another company that sells a unit. I will find the info and send it to you guys
Are you guys familiar with tasers? I had one that was over 900,000 volts but very little amperage. I know that high voltage, ac or DC, can do you or your electric goods some damage. But, I think you have to have some current ( amps) before it will do any damage. Amps is the current through which the voltage is the force that pushes the current. So there has to be both present in order for any damage to occur, correct? So extremely high voltage with no current is the same as high current with no voltage. Neither will harm you.
I bought a youczon faraday bag from Amazon. When that alarm went out to everyone’s phone, I thought “great! I’ll be able to test this faraday bag”. I folded down like I was supposed to. When the alarm happened, I heard my phone. It was clearly muffled sounding, but it did get a signal. So now I don’t trust buying any faraday bags or any EMP anything. Plus, if I spent money on some kind of EMP protection, and ‘it’ finally happens and the protection doesn’t work. There wouldn’t be anyway to get my money back.
That's very unfortunate. We have multiple Faraday bags from multiple companies and they all block cell signals, WIFI, RF, everything. Our favorite vendor is Offgrid.co. We've done videos showing how effective they are at disabling connectivity for cell phones, HAM radios etc.
I wouldn’t be so sure we would t do it to ourselves. They did 9/11 allowed the border invasion and countless other scams so again you can’t count USA out
100% correct! Not all Faraday bags are created equal. If you can see through it, it will be a low level protection. The thicker material, highly conductive, with no holes, will give you anywhere from 40-80db of attenuation.
Antistatic bags offer minimal protection. These are often the Amazon specials. I can attest that my Faraday room will drop my cellular and wifi signals completely, but that is in the 2.4Ghz ranges.
@@AnythingOutdoorswithSteve talk to me about faraday rooms please. How?
Algo comment
Small to moderate EMP or CME, the distribution network would survive and be back up. If a major EMP or Carrington event occurs, the grid goes down long-term, so individual home protection isnt likely to restore your home power. I protect my computers, fridge, and important home electronics, but if a big voltage spike occurs, the grid goes down to my area, so big spike protection is moot.
BTW, I worked 29 years in large-scale renewable power, so I'm not uninformed. If you're seeing 50kV spikes in your home other than from a nearby lightning strike, likely would fry the distribution network to your neighborhood.
Many of us have backup power options (solar, propane/gas generators, hydro electricity, wind etc.) that are protected by EMP Shield devices. It's not a moot point for people who are properly prepared and protected. We're the only group that's ever tested EMP Shield and published a video of it. The 400k volt Marx Generator we built put out double what the most powerful nuke could created for an EMP and the product did exactly what it's supposed to. We built an 800k volt Marx Generator and Steve almost killed himself. We're currently building a 1.2M volt Tesla Coil for our next video on this subject which will be forthcoming by the fall.
Why can’t you just emulate Ben Franklin - go fly a kite in a thunderstorm, connect it to the _EMP Shield,_ and … 😀
Glad i found this. Finally got answers i was looking to. Also. The emp shield only covers like 250-350 feet. (I forgot) ooops Your sights and stuff won't matter as it dont have anything a emp can pop. Anything plugged in could be saved but highly doubt a computer sitting by itsself will be saved. Only thing that worrys me about the car is its a ground on the car and nothing to send that directly to the ground less you have a chain/s hanging to the ground. Other wise i would wait to get into a car for it to actually decharge after an event of an event was to come. Trump was putting these in place when he was in office from a video i have seen he was taking action to protect what he could. Who knows what is going on now as we know nothing.
Hey guys, let's agree to disagree. Here's why; The CEO(?) of EMPShield was on Marfoogle News, & he or "Marf" said they are setting up to do business with DHS & "Another 3-letter agency". DHS & whoever the unnamed 3-letter agency is as far as I'm concerned are every freedom-loving American's & prepper's mortal enemy. I cannot do business with EMPShield company. I choose not to of my own free will. That's my only gripe, otherwise you guys do a great job of keeping the Prepping community informed.
Thank you for the information. I hate to fund companies that hate us. I will have to look into this, but it is also no secret they have contracts with the military. It isn't much of a leap to then provide product to any government agency. I also work for a government agency that hates me!
1. We buy stuff made in China all the time, and they sure as hell hate us.
2. What equal alternative product is available in industry?
Can i gather from this video that anything plugged into this unit will be protected. Say i wss charging my ecoflow solar unit. Would it be protected?
Correct
@SurvivalDispatch thank you for the reply! Is there a solar generator review in the future? Still on the fence about which one I should buy and value the whole groups opinion. Thanks again!
@@slawlor100 ... We've reviewed the INERGY FLEX power stations in the past. They are second to none and reasonably priced. Designed in America, domestic customer support, and American engineers on the floor doing QA/QC overseas. They're the closest thing to American made power stations as it gets. That's not to mention they're super durable and if there's an issue they cover the warranty. Good luck with most of the Chinese compnies in that regard. If you buy an INERGY FLEX use the code "survival" to get 5% off.
@@SurvivalDispatch thany you for the recommendation. I didn't even know of more than one American company that manufacturers them.
@@slawlor100… My pleasure!

How do I sign up for yalls class
@Crazy_Anglers28 ... We offer multiple classes. Which one are you referring to?
Siemens makes a similar device
Anyone no where I can get 20”x24” faraday bags for solar panels
Reach out to Offgrid.co. They’re our go to guys for Faraday bags.
Yes, Amazon. I don’t know how many panels you have but mine fits two roof top panels. Sorry not sure if the actual size.
this type of device would only protect against conducted electric current as demonstrated on this and countless other videos and offers no protection at all against an electromagnetic field. Its basically a glorified surge protector that only protects against a certain type of EMP.
I would like to add; according to your video, a Marx generator will shock a person. Now an Emp or a CME will not shock a person. Correct me if I am wrong, just trying to understand the difference between the Marx generator and an Emp or a CME.
Good content not so good audio quality
Very 🆒️ 😮🎉
Thanks for watching!
Soo what exactly happens to the electricity that hits the device? If it doesn’t send it straight to ground like required to prevent an emp, where does it go?
It goes to the ground rod that the EMP Shield is/was connected to.
And do we know how all the HAARP stuff going on lately is effecting this?
While I agree with EMP shields,.. and protecting the house,.. if any point in the grid coming to you isn't protected,.. you'll still be as down as everyone else. :(
Not true. Many of us have solar PV systems and generators.
@@SurvivalDispatch The only problem there is bugs are attracted to the bright lights. And if the remainder is down, there will be bugs nearly instantly.
I don't claim to be an electrical anything, With all this video does to explain I was still lost as to where in the breaker panel it hooks up in a house? Pos and Neg Bus bars? would have liked to see a diagram.
This is not a how to video and we’re not a DIY channel. This was a test of EMP Shield’s product which NOBODY has ever done but us.
Go to EMPShield.com for specs and installation instructions. We specifically mentioned in our video that their website site has all of those details.
First!!! 😂
😂
SO THE SHIELD WONT WORK BC OF THE HUGE VOLT BLEED EFFECT. *ATMOSPERIC CHARGE
Huh? The EMP Shield device worked flawlessly.
