Hey guys look at the testing of this device by itself not attached to a car. The device can pass through a charge. Does this testing show that it works to protect a car in the application it’s being sold for?? No.... clever marketing. Your commoner will look at a report and be like ok 129 pages and some graphs it checks out. Someone who reads it realizes the device isn’t being tested in its intended application. Lots of DOD engineers in the comments that know what makes their planes EMP shielded. I’ll take their advice. I also ran it by my dad. He was a crew chief for the F15 for 22 years and he laughed and said “yeah... no” 🙄
Yo! I bought both EMP products for Home and Vehicle. Codes helped me out a ton, Thanks. Especially since shipping isn't free to Puerto Rico. I can't wait to have it installed.
Love the channel. Retired Electronics Warfare Officer on AC130s here. This will not save you from an emp. Take it from someone who shot electrons (RF) at ir/radar guided missiles for a living. You need a metal cage. Circuitry in the computer chips will fry even if your battery survives. The effectiveness of an emp depends a lot on the distance and power of the detonation. Best bet is to get an older backup car with minimal electronics (none-at least when it comes to the basic functionality) and throw an extra battery in an old microwave shell. You can store backup radios/batteries/anything you care to have at the end of the world in a microwave. Old metal garbage cans can sometimes work as well. If an emp is ever detonated DO NOT I repeat DO NOT immediately turn on your backup crap. A second or third attacking is coming to shut down backup systems. Wait at least a week or as long as you can to maintain your shelter in place strategy. Peace!
Yes it will happen young man! I saw it happen! It is good to be a prepper! You younger generation, y'all get ready to fight for your families! Something bad is coming. I pray God watch over all of you.
I have a spare ECM for my 1985 carburated Ram ...in a faraday box with my hand talkie kit. My rig runs on waaaaaay less than the new tinker toy vehicles. 12 v /5 to 7 psi fuel press its all good. Rugged simplicity is where its at..been driving my rigg 20yrs..yours, Mike N The Mechanics.
I'm an electrical engineer getting my PhD and I highly doubt this thing would save the electronics. The only thing that would help would be a faraday cage or a metal box without any holes or crevices around the vehicle. I mean come on, the warranty is worthless, when are you going to really put it to the test? And if an EMP or big solar flare does happen and it fails (it will fail), the warranty is the last thing you should worry about.
@@LastLineOfDefense I personally don't really care about the warranty. I just don't think, from an electromagnetics perspective, that this device is enough to protect a vehicle against an EMP. The truck has too many crevices where high power would get inside and create high currents that would burn electronics no matter what. I would love to see a device this small work though.
I'm not trying to be jerk or anything like that so I apologize if I'm coming off like one. I'm just trying to inform from what I know and from my experience.
This looks like the surge arrestor which is to protect cellular base station equipment from lightning strikes. They are effective about 80% of the time. But typically protect against a single strike. The pulsing you describe would most likely overwhelm this SPD.
Also, 48 hours is a good one too. Fun fact: the audiobooks for the OSA series is voiced by the same guy from a 1990’s sitcom called “Perfect Strangers”. His character on the show was Balky Bartokomous, his name is Bronson Pinchot. He does an incredible job bringing the characters to life. The first book in the series is read by someone else, he also does a great job. The Carrington Event is dealt with as a historical precedent in 48 Hours.
In case you didn’t know, the negative pole of your car battery is at chassis ground. The EMP will induce a high current into any metal product; including the computer chips in your car (there are a bunch of them). There is no physical way that double grounded black box can protect your vehicle or your house. If you could put it in a Faraday cage, that would work.
A '72 Ford PU and an '87 Chevy PU and a '93 Ford Ranger that has almost no electronics to speak of except fuel delivery. My '99 Toyota sedan is my everyday, at 30+ mph and I have a complete Control Module in the trunk in a microwave. Rehabbed older rigs are not only cheaper to buy, but there are parts in every auto store and junkyard in America.
Hey Mike, maybe I'm mistaken, but it looks you have the device installed with the hole for the wires pointing up. As a former automotive wire harness engineer, i highly suggest you point the opening down. I'm guessing it's a sealed unit, but water (almost) always finds a way in eventually. With a device you can't test, it would give you the best protection from water intrusion.
I'd say you got swindled. I worked on aircraft that were EMP hardened. Every harness was shielded. All critical electronics boxes had diodes to block the energy that came in on the wires. All the wires in your truck form antennas in an emp. You'd need to either shield the harnesses and have em tight housings or put arresters on all wires in and out of critical boxes, plus have em tight enclosures. Good news is government testing found about half of new cars might survive the event anyway. They also found you could pretty well protect most cars by shielding all critical wire harnesses. The bigger concern is the electrical grid which would fail outright. So do you have a couple years worth of gas stored away?
That was awesome. I'm glad you linked to the book one second after. That book is based on a military/government study on life after an emp. That book made me realize the reality of what an emp will do to the human psyche in a no hope situation.
It’s extremely unlikely this device would actually work in an EMP event. But, even it did how long do you think you’re going to be able to keep your truck if yours is the only working vehicle in your neighborhood, town, etc? If you try to drive anywhere you’ll be the biggest target there ever was.

Based on my knowledge about EMPs, I'm not buying the claims of the manufacturer. However this vid has generated a lot of knowledgeable, informative commentary. something you don't see too much of on social media these days.
That's completely useless against an EMP. It'll maybe help against lightning and a CME. But an EMP has multiple phases -- E1, E2, and E3 -- and the E1 component is much faster (5 nanoseconds) than the response time of virtually any surge suppressor designed for lightning. Lightning is very similar to the E2 component of an EMP, which is a pulse in excess of 1000 nanoseconds. The E3 component is similar to a coronal mass ejection (CME) and can last tens to hundreds of seconds. Most lightning surge suppressors are voltage-limiting devices -- zener diodes, TVS diodes, varisters, spark gaps, gas discharge tubes, etc. -- which respond faster than current-limiting devices like fuses and breakers, but they're usually not fast enough for the E1 pulse. It will have done its damage before they can shunt the voltage to ground. The E1 component of the EMP can also destroy lightning protection devices, thus allowing the E2 and E3 components to do additional damage. The "EMP Shield" appears to be a spark gap arrester. Spark gap arresters have a relatively slow response time (microseconds) and high let-through voltage (3-6kV), which makes them wholly inadequate for EMP protection. They can also cause fires with ionized gas released. I don't believe their claims whatsoever. No shunting method works in half a nanosecond. None. One way you can help suppress the E1 component is by using ferrite chokes with the Fair-Rite 61 material mix, which has the greatest coercive field, giving it a super fast reaction time. Ferrite chokes convert common mode voltage transients into heat energy through both resistance and reactance. They won't necessarily stop a strong EMP, but they'll attenuate it, giving other protection devices a greater chance of working and also possibly providing sufficient protection on their own if you're at the edge of the affected area. I'm not sure an air choke (popular with HAMs) is effective against E1, but ferrites should be. Another way is with bypass capacitors in parallel to your protected circuit, but these can blow out at high voltages, so you'd have to find capacitors that can handle the 50kV/m (multiplied by the length of the wire acting as an antenna) generated by an EMP. Capacitors can be used with ferrite chokes as well. You can also add shielding to any wires that aren't meant to act as antennas using grounded metal conduit. I think the conduit should also act as a choke in addition to a shield. But you have to be careful that you don't accidentally cause your conduit to act like an antenna. These "EMP Shield" guys can get away with selling you snake oil because if there's ever an EMP, they can just declare bankruptcy and walk away (assuming they survive the EMP). You'll never see a dime of their so-called warranty. This thing is just a really expensive lightning surge arrester (e.g. Siemens FS140 Whole House Surge Protection, doubled in price) and a fancy sales pitch. I invite them to discuss the true internals of the thing to prove otherwise. Siemens isn't going to claim that their surge protector stops an EMP because they're a real company and have real credibility. A whole house (or vehicle or boat) surge protector isn't a bad idea, and it might help along with other things like ferrite chokes, bypass capacitors, buffering batteries, Faraday cages, etc., but it won't stop an E1 pulse on its own.
Is it true you can remove The power source from a Electrical device To prevent EMP surge? Pull the battery out of your car. To prevent Emp from damaging the Vehicles Computer?
@@hodlfast1104 Removing the power source does not alleviate the fact that any wires in your car will act like an antenna and create voltages that will destroy your wires and computer components. The surge doesn't come from your battery, it comes from the EMP.
@@andersonalternative6223 underground parking garage? There is a five or six story underground garage near me. Do you know how deep it can penetrate the ground? There's no radio or cell phone reception at the bottom
@@hodlfast1104 An EMP cannot penetrate ground at all if the space is completely enclosed because it's effectively a Faraday cage. However, any openings larger than a fractional wavelength will allow it to enter. The maximum intensity of a nuclear EMP is at approximately 100 MHz, which is the same frequency as 100 FM on your radio. If you drive to the bottom of the parking garage and tune into 100 FM or channels nearby, and you still get a signal, then you're not protected. If the signal is gone or extremely weak, then it's offering decent protection.
You'll need to store gas, because gas pumps won't work. I have gas available, because I use so much on the farm. I hadn't contemplated doing this for my vehicles, but I will now. I've had a whole house surge suppressor for several years. It was easy to install and not terribly pricey. Great video as always!
You would just have to gain access to the storage tank at a gas station and use a mechanical pump. Problem solved. Don't forget to leave the cash at the abandoned register lol
Propane conversion if you have a faraday cage for all of the electrical parts to make a combustion engine operate after an emp then the government will confiscate any engine that runs in the name of national security . Learn how to build a rocket stove for heat and cooking
EMP's also happen in close lightning strikes. We had lightening hit the chimney of the house next door and blow up their chimney. Our homes were only 6 feet apart. The EMP caused from the strike fried over $4000 of electronics in our home, including a music Amp that was not even plugged in!
@@famousamos778 With lightning, only whats plugged in. During most thunderstorms I unplug all electronic things. I keep a check list to make sure I don't forget something.
YES, if a emp happens your credit cards are paid off.... of course your credit number is also gone, so you better have CASH on hand to buy what you need. (dont expect to be able to sell your body for food).
@@tammydundon2171 I’m gonna go ahead and say cash in an event like this might not be in high demand, so you would probably want precious metals and other barter goods (or services).
What a great product! The only way to test it is an EMP. If it doesn't work and the whole country is fried no one is gonna sue or even call to complain!
Look, I retired from the Army in 2018 and still work for them. We don’t use this to protect our equipment. An EMP is not a point effect weapon it an area effect which means the whole vehicle is being hit by the EMP almost at the same time ( please account the roof will be impacted a split second before the rest). It travels through our the frame as well as the wiring.
@@bseidem5112 Its not worth protecting your car, build a faraday cage in your workshop and put your generator there, thats worth way more then a dozen cars. All streets will be blocked by cars anyway, gaspumps dont work..so yea. The only way to 100% protect your car is park it underground (if you still get radio signal its not good enough), an emp hardend bunker or park your car in a faraday cage. But like i said, you will run out of gas anyway and dont have space to drive to anyway. Also, you think the enemy doesnt know about emp hardend bunkers or faraday cages? They will fire multiple EMP's. Many people will bring the generator out and bam hit by the second one.
Thank you thank you! I knew military has this, but not talking. Exactly what I want. Now, another episode you could do is on how to protect your cat converter from current widespread theft. I'm painting mine red high temp paint, inscribing my DL number, placing loud motion sensor under car.
@@matthartsburg6589 That is a myth... A military generated EMP will not be stopped by most of the super cheap methods.. metal trash can, aluminum foil etc...
Awesome point on the gray man/when to use it stuff. I read an account from Katrina that said they could only use their generator during the day (sound/light discipline) because they'd have people show up who wanted free stuff or wanted to TAKE their stuff.
Pretty cool idea and I want to believe this would work but I'm pretty skeptical... I'm not sure how something attached to ur battery can protect the entire electrical system in a vehicle unless the source of the surge was inside the battery itself. And with a $300 price tag I'd want some proof that it actually does it's job lol
You can pick up some cheap carb'd motos for use in an emergency. An EMP would leave roads cluttered with disabled vehicles so having a two wheeled option is a plus.
Very cool!! This has always been the gaping hole in my preparation. I do have two older dirt bikes that shouldn’t be affected by an EMP but their uses are a little bit limited …but it’s something to get me around. This little unit is a game changer. BUT you better have a good supply of ammo in your truck because if you don’t lay low, people are coming after it!! 😂😂

I use a shipping container, i made sure all hole were welded shut, and laid a sheet of rubber on the floor. I park my truck atv and motor cycle in it... with the doors closed tight... dont worry i have another truck... ✌
That's actually a pretty good idea - especially if the right insulation and air tight seals are made. Earthed to solid copper rods buried in damp soil to ground any charge. Most sensitive electronics even a car would be protected. You'd probably need to hide it or better still, get it buried as many survivors will want it.
But what about the concept of induction. Like a pulse is a little difficult to understand. where would the current land first? I mean if it flows through to the motherboard at all and not directly where that device is then the amps should be to much and it will heat and melt the smaller wires. Not sure if this would actually protect it. But maybe it is peace of mind
Before I spent money on a device like that, I would want to know how it was tested. My understanding is the ECU (or ECM) would be ruined during an an EMP because their would not be a countering electromagnetic field device like a Faraday Cage taking the EMP pulse away from the the ECU/ECM on the firewall or inside the car. If you cannot ground the EMP charge away from your device, they will fail. And some modern cars have as many as 4 or more sub-Control Modules in the vehicle.
Hunting them with dogs would be fun! But , their product probably works just fine if it is on the DHS list. Just remember to carry a Long chunk of hose to siphon fuel from gas stations and something smaller to drain other vehicles.
@@LastLineOfDefense you'd have to, because their email and cell phone probably won't work.... unless they were in their emp proof truck at the time. ;)
@@LastLineOfDefense you'd have to, because their email and cell phone probably won't work.... unless they were in their emp proof truck at the time. ;)
I'm a retired Aerospace Technologist and you just wasted your vlog! You have grounded the battery to the device but that's it (if the PVC (94 volt) box isn't shielded inside then even the battery won't be either. Best way to shield the car or truck in your case would be to individually ground each component with either copper, silver, Gold fingers is best or mesh with o-ring gasket. The gasket must be placed on the base and top of shielded boxes that are made of metal or plated like baby shoes (copper etc). Don't forget your truck is sitting on rubber tires which is shielding it too. AND yes you can Die from a SOLAR FLARE too!
One Second After by William R. Forstchen is a good book about a small town dealing with an EMP event. The main character drives an old Ford Edsel that wasn’t affected. Very realistic portrayal of a possible emp e1 event.
You kind of addressed my question at the very end. If this works, you’re left with a vehicle, but you won’t be able to get gas because the stations will be fried. The only use for a post-EMP vehicle is to get you to a bug out location...if you have enough fuel.
I saw some comments about Faraday cages. A cage is mainly to keep out electrostatic fields, which include RF fields. It does NOT shield magnetic field. Your compass will work in a Faraday cage LOL.
You've brought up some good points and I suppose the device for your car is better than nothing, however, where is the best place to be in a lightning storm ... your car. Why? Because the tires insulate you from earth ground and unless you have a way to make contact with the ground, I doubt it will be of much use. OK, a way around this would be to take another wire from the frame and have a drive pin or short ground rod and when you are stationary drive the rod or pin into the ground so when the EMP hits there is actually a path for the energy to go. On the other hand if you are mobile when it hits, you're probably screwed anyway. Just sayn'
I would make sure to get the tools to be able to recondition batteries so that when it craps out you will be able to make due. I would also stock up on the cells, plates, and caps from a battery manufacturer/reconditioner or from old batteries. I know with the dry cell batteries you won’t be able to recondition them very easily if at all. It may be wise to get a secondary battery that has regular old acid so that you can recondition that one and use the other battery for other accessories. Getting a solar power battery charger also in case of an alternator crapping out would be wise as well and having extra rebuild kits for the alternator/starter/pulleys. You better be ready to guard your property with your life in an end world scenario when nobody has a working vehicle. Ensuring it is a dark color would be wisest, driving at night, using a night vision camera to avoid using lights, and have tap/bags to cover up your lights inside your vehicle because a lighted up vehicle in the complete darkness would be an easy target for a needy person with a rifle. We don’t want to make ourselves easy targets by any means. If you’re trying to avoid the forced jabs I would start producing your own foods (meat & veggies) because back in September Klaus Schwab admitted that they will start to put the mRNA technology along with nanotechnology in the food & animals that are going to market for consumption. The nanotechnology is considered “GRAS” (generally regarded as safe) because the larger granular sized particles of the same type of elements/minerals/matrix are considered safe without doing any tests with nano sized technology/particles. It is commonly known in the scientific community that nano particles nearly always have properties that aren’t anywhere near the properties of the regular minerals. This can be viewed as Carbon is 6 atoms, then you assemble 6 carbons together into graphite, and when you put 6 graphite molecules together you form Graphene oxide. Graphene oxide is known to have the same properties as water being both hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and electrically conductive. These 3 traits aren’t present in carbon or graphite at all. Just a little extra science for the survivors out there to stay on top of their survival game.
It’s a pretty expensive component. I’ve got one on my pickup. I’ve often wondering if the devise fails there’s really no way of holding the manufacturer accountable for the failure
There is a great book on Jack Carr's reading list called "one second after" by William Forstchen ... takes place in the Mtns of Western NC and details the aftermath of an EMP attack on the us. Great fast paced read for Preppers
I read the book "One Second After" by William Forstchen and it is spot on! He did his research before he wrote the book and it is as good as it gets in describing an apocalyptic EMP event. The best reading for anyone concerned about their future.
@Daniel Giller, I need more info regarding your expertise on this matter, could you elaborate a little more on this? Are EMPs a credible threat to civilians, would a device like this EMP shield offer protection as advertised, if not, what literature can you point me to so I can do a little more research on this. Thanks in advance.
Just so you know, like tankers you need to have a harness that tappers to the ground to discharge the power. Reason being your tires act as a insulator therefore it needs a out point which is the harness tapering to the ground.
I got one just like it only thing I don’t like about it you can see the light to see if it’s working if you have it set up you have to look at it from a straight angle but I’m happy it didn’t cost me anything
I have my doubts about this. I think the most foolproof method to totally protect against an EMP is to get an old truck and have all the wires and electrical components on hand in a faraday cage. The problem with new trucks is the amount of electrical components and wiring. Unless you work on them for a living, you're going to be way in over your head. Sometime after the EMP, change out all the electrical parts. There would likely be multiple EMPs so it would not be wise to change them out immediately and it would be wise to have multiples of each component. This is certainly a cheaper option than buying all the parts multiple times over but will it protect against the EMP? My guess is it would get fried like everything else and even if it did manage to stop the first EMP, it would take the full brunt of the pulse, and get fried, leaving your truck vulnerable to the next attack. Nevertheless, it's a good option to have. All I'm saying is don't solely rely on it and think it will get you through.
IMO an emp microwave wouldn’t do anything to a modern day vehicle because the metal vehicle is it’s own faraday cage and rubber on the ground to keep from grounding. So your Saturn might be affected. I haven’t personally tested this but if a trash can could protect a ham radio then my theory can’t be far off.?
I think the only thing that may save a modern vehicle from a genuine emp is having it stored in a metal shed. I have all my vehicles in a quonset hut, 60x 150ft x 30ft all steel and I believe that is about the best you can hope for.
It's a little more complicated than this. Your vehicle electronics must be contained within a faraday cage. The vehicle must also be located in a shielded bunker.
The engine wire harness would be a huge conductor for that EM energy and the ecu processor would be fried as a result. The engine bay is not perfectly shielded.
Having an ultra fast TVS on the supply lines is only one protection as there are many ingress points in a vehicle such as ECU’s IO ports and radio antenna. Just my two cents.
After reviewing the military testing data offered in the link, it looks like it would take out some of the A phase of an EMP event, but, what about the B and C phase components? What about repeated A phase compromises of the device? I might have missed it, but, didn't see any of that test data in the link. Best EMP protection is in a well grounded, sealed faraday cage.
Best thing I think would be to buy a vehicle before 1975, buy an extra ECM, coil and starter and chuck it in a faraday cage. Oh buy a fuel siphon for tour free gas and a can of orange spray paint to mark the vehicles whose tanks you’ve emptied.
Your back up emp car or truck you should make sure it has points and condenser, not an electronic ignition. Also, make sure you can set points and a dwell analog meter and spare condenser and points in your metal shielded container.
My question would be whether the numbers add up, such devices can't have been tested on anything anywhere near as big as a Carrington style CME flare and so how do the numbers compare with the actual data we have on such events.
One picosecond actually. Also, EMP Shield is a veteran owned, American company who has enormous contracts with the DHS, DOD, Texas DEMSO team for their independent grid, & on & on. I have had them on my cars and home for over 3 years. We got hit directly by lightning and it saved everything in the house. That isn't the impressive part! As I was looking for any damage and went to the breaker panel, I noticed that my EMP Shield was blackened on the surface and had a dark black burn line between the screws that mount it on the wall. I couldn't figure it out. I went outside and where the ground terminal is for the entire house is also the young bear's favorite place to sneak into the fenced area of my property to look for food, bird feeders, etc. Well even a cub that is taking day trips out on his own weighs quite a bit and one of them ripped the ground wire off of the terminal in the actual ground, which was run through, the middle, wrapped around several times and secured by two tightening screws and a clamp. The ungrounded EMP Shield took the brunt of a direct lightning strike to the house and fried out the unit but saved everything, I lost not one cent. The customer service is so fantastic there (made in Kansas, Kansas Business of the Year 2020-21) that I explained what had happened, thanked them profusely and they asked me to take a picture of the unit properly hooked up to the panel and send the fried unit back to them on their dime for a free replacement unit! (They told me they had a team that took apart atypical happenings to units and analyzed them to see what worked and how for any possible upgrades to be made on newer generation units) They're amazing! If you have ANY problems, which you will not but were you to, ask for Andrew. He is a fantastic guy and a member of a community I belong to online. He's a part owner of the business and will personally speak with you about any issue that customer service and product support cannot remedy. Amazing company, amazing product, our government and Military vehicles as well as installations are all being fortified with these, as well as all the other ham/comms unit, solar unit, boat, etc etc. I can not overstate how amazing of a product and company they have and are! 💯👈🏻
Thanks young man, you might consider me a old fart, I've been wondering if there was anything to protect my electronics on my Tahoe, I've been a outdoors nut for most of my life, to give you a idea how old I am I'm 63 , keep up the good work, and pass it on to the younger generation, so we can protect the greatest country to ever exist. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Even if worked. Gas stations won't. For almost everyone you can only get as far as what you have in your tank to carry you & what you can scrouge. I'd recommend After Armageddon It's about a family that's unprepared for any castrophy. Lots of useful info about what will probably happen if things go South.
I'd say it's for people who already have their ducks in a row. Putting that money towards a good running vehicle, savings, or just having a couple weeks worth of food would help a lot more people. But if I had the money for say, a new Tacoma, then I'd find the money for this.

@@LastLineOfDefense Joe Blazer is not kidding. Read the EMP Commission report to Congress for yourself. It has a lot of indepth information that you have not obviously been exposed to.
:D this is good. especially that you are grounding that box to vehicle frame which bay the way is connected to battery negative terminal:D. So at the end there is no any protection. Best solution on a cheap side what you can do is ground your car to earth like it was done with old cars which had special rubber strips at the rear tacking ground. But this will not gonna protect your car and probably will not work for your house as well. This could work ass good surge protector but not as EMP protection, unless you have whole house under Faraday blanket and the only way how EMP can get in your house is threw electrical wiring coming in a house.

Lots of DOD engineers in the comments that know what makes their planes EMP shielded. I’ll take their advice. I also ran it by my dad. He was a crew chief for the F15 for 22 years and he laughed and said “yeah... no” 🙄
@@JoseArmenteros Thank you.

Yo! I bought both EMP products for Home and Vehicle. Codes helped me out a ton, Thanks. Especially since shipping isn't free to Puerto Rico. I can't wait to have it installed.
Love the channel. Retired Electronics Warfare Officer on AC130s here. This will not save you from an emp. Take it from someone who shot electrons (RF) at ir/radar guided missiles for a living. You need a metal cage. Circuitry in the computer chips will fry even if your battery survives. The effectiveness of an emp depends a lot on the distance and power of the detonation. Best bet is to get an older backup car with minimal electronics (none-at least when it comes to the basic functionality) and throw an extra battery in an old microwave shell. You can store backup radios/batteries/anything you care to have at the end of the world in a microwave. Old metal garbage cans can sometimes work as well. If an emp is ever detonated DO NOT I repeat DO NOT immediately turn on your backup crap. A second or third attacking is coming to shut down backup systems. Wait at least a week or as long as you can to maintain your shelter in place strategy. Peace!
Appreciate the expert advice, I’d heard about the old microwave thing, glad to hear it brought up again!

I was thinking the same thing about a microwave having a fariday cage , might have spelled that wrong
Wouldn't the cage need to be connected to ground?

You are on the money my Friend.Good LUCK from Australia, At least you guys have real firearms to fight with!
Facts it's just a matter of time. We get closer and closer each day.
When have you seen this happen? What's the story?
I have a spare ECM for my 1985 carburated Ram ...in a faraday box with my hand talkie kit. My rig runs on waaaaaay less than the new tinker toy vehicles. 12 v /5 to 7 psi fuel press its all good. Rugged simplicity is where its at..been driving my rigg 20yrs..yours, Mike N The Mechanics.
I'm an electrical engineer getting my PhD and I highly doubt this thing would save the electronics. The only thing that would help would be a faraday cage or a metal box without any holes or crevices around the vehicle. I mean come on, the warranty is worthless, when are you going to really put it to the test? And if an EMP or big solar flare does happen and it fails (it will fail), the warranty is the last thing you should worry about.
Those who complain about a device with a warranty - would they also complain if the device had no warranty? Serious question.
@@LastLineOfDefense I personally don't really care about the warranty. I just don't think, from an electromagnetics perspective, that this device is enough to protect a vehicle against an EMP. The truck has too many crevices where high power would get inside and create high currents that would burn electronics no matter what. I would love to see a device this small work though.
I'm not trying to be jerk or anything like that so I apologize if I'm coming off like one. I'm just trying to inform from what I know and from my experience.
You are correct. This device will not work with an EMP. This is snake oil.
This looks like the surge arrestor which is to protect cellular base station equipment from lightning strikes. They are effective about 80% of the time. But typically protect against a single strike. The pulsing you describe would most likely overwhelm this SPD.
The " One Second After" series is a must read fictional story with nuggets of wisdom and truths of survival after an EMP hit the US.
Man what a scary book. I have no doubt what it will be like if I survive it. I need an Edsel not a box that may or may not work.
Yup, great read
Also, 48 hours is a good one too. Fun fact: the audiobooks for the OSA series is voiced by the same guy from a 1990’s sitcom called “Perfect Strangers”. His character on the show was Balky Bartokomous, his name is Bronson Pinchot. He does an incredible job bringing the characters to life.
The first book in the series is read by someone else, he also does a great job.
The Carrington Event is dealt with as a historical precedent in 48 Hours.

In case you didn’t know, the negative pole of your car battery is at chassis ground. The EMP will induce a high current into any metal product; including the computer chips in your car (there are a bunch of them). There is no physical way that double grounded black box can protect your vehicle or your house. If you could put it in a Faraday cage, that would work.
My thoughts exactly.
@@chrisalexander2478it's a scam
Yup. Its a hoax to sucker people out of money. Probably costs them $7 in parts to make each "device"
A '72 Ford PU and an '87 Chevy PU and a '93 Ford Ranger that has almost no electronics to speak of except fuel delivery. My '99 Toyota sedan is my everyday, at 30+ mph and I have a complete Control Module in the trunk in a microwave.
Rehabbed older rigs are not only cheaper to buy, but there are parts in every auto store and junkyard in America.
Hey Mike, maybe I'm mistaken, but it looks you have the device installed with the hole for the wires pointing up. As a former automotive wire harness engineer, i highly suggest you point the opening down. I'm guessing it's a sealed unit, but water (almost) always finds a way in eventually. With a device you can't test, it would give you the best protection from water intrusion.
I'd say you got swindled. I worked on aircraft that were EMP hardened. Every harness was shielded. All critical electronics boxes had diodes to block the energy that came in on the wires. All the wires in your truck form antennas in an emp. You'd need to either shield the harnesses and have em tight housings or put arresters on all wires in and out of critical boxes, plus have em tight enclosures. Good news is government testing found about half of new cars might survive the event anyway. They also found you could pretty well protect most cars by shielding all critical wire harnesses. The bigger concern is the electrical grid which would fail outright. So do you have a couple years worth of gas stored away?
Sure do. 🍻🍻
Government testing? I tend to believe the opposite of most stuff the government tells us these days.
That was awesome. I'm glad you linked to the book one second after. That book is based on a military/government study on life after an emp. That book made me realize the reality of what an emp will do to the human psyche in a no hope situation.
That’s right. No hope.
It’s extremely unlikely this device would actually work in an EMP event. But, even it did how long do you think you’re going to be able to keep your truck if yours is the only working vehicle in your neighborhood, town, etc? If you try to drive anywhere you’ll be the biggest target there ever was.

Gas station pumps are electronic. Good luck after your only tank of gas goes dry.
Based on my knowledge about EMPs, I'm not buying the claims of the manufacturer. However this vid has generated a lot of knowledgeable, informative commentary. something you don't see too much of on social media these days.
That's completely useless against an EMP. It'll maybe help against lightning and a CME. But an EMP has multiple phases -- E1, E2, and E3 -- and the E1 component is much faster (5 nanoseconds) than the response time of virtually any surge suppressor designed for lightning. Lightning is very similar to the E2 component of an EMP, which is a pulse in excess of 1000 nanoseconds. The E3 component is similar to a coronal mass ejection (CME) and can last tens to hundreds of seconds.
Most lightning surge suppressors are voltage-limiting devices -- zener diodes, TVS diodes, varisters, spark gaps, gas discharge tubes, etc. -- which respond faster than current-limiting devices like fuses and breakers, but they're usually not fast enough for the E1 pulse. It will have done its damage before they can shunt the voltage to ground. The E1 component of the EMP can also destroy lightning protection devices, thus allowing the E2 and E3 components to do additional damage.
The "EMP Shield" appears to be a spark gap arrester. Spark gap arresters have a relatively slow response time (microseconds) and high let-through voltage (3-6kV), which makes them wholly inadequate for EMP protection. They can also cause fires with ionized gas released. I don't believe their claims whatsoever. No shunting method works in half a nanosecond. None.
One way you can help suppress the E1 component is by using ferrite chokes with the Fair-Rite 61 material mix, which has the greatest coercive field, giving it a super fast reaction time. Ferrite chokes convert common mode voltage transients into heat energy through both resistance and reactance. They won't necessarily stop a strong EMP, but they'll attenuate it, giving other protection devices a greater chance of working and also possibly providing sufficient protection on their own if you're at the edge of the affected area. I'm not sure an air choke (popular with HAMs) is effective against E1, but ferrites should be.
Another way is with bypass capacitors in parallel to your protected circuit, but these can blow out at high voltages, so you'd have to find capacitors that can handle the 50kV/m (multiplied by the length of the wire acting as an antenna) generated by an EMP. Capacitors can be used with ferrite chokes as well.
You can also add shielding to any wires that aren't meant to act as antennas using grounded metal conduit. I think the conduit should also act as a choke in addition to a shield. But you have to be careful that you don't accidentally cause your conduit to act like an antenna.
These "EMP Shield" guys can get away with selling you snake oil because if there's ever an EMP, they can just declare bankruptcy and walk away (assuming they survive the EMP). You'll never see a dime of their so-called warranty. This thing is just a really expensive lightning surge arrester (e.g. Siemens FS140 Whole House Surge Protection, doubled in price) and a fancy sales pitch. I invite them to discuss the true internals of the thing to prove otherwise. Siemens isn't going to claim that their surge protector stops an EMP because they're a real company and have real credibility. A whole house (or vehicle or boat) surge protector isn't a bad idea, and it might help along with other things like ferrite chokes, bypass capacitors, buffering batteries, Faraday cages, etc., but it won't stop an E1 pulse on its own.
Perhaps the most underrated comment of all time
Is it true you can remove The power source from a Electrical device To prevent EMP surge? Pull the battery out of your car. To prevent Emp from damaging the Vehicles Computer?
@@hodlfast1104 Removing the power source does not alleviate the fact that any wires in your car will act like an antenna and create voltages that will destroy your wires and computer components. The surge doesn't come from your battery, it comes from the EMP.
@@andersonalternative6223 underground parking garage? There is a five or six story underground garage near me. Do you know how deep it can penetrate the ground? There's no radio or cell phone reception at the bottom
@@hodlfast1104 An EMP cannot penetrate ground at all if the space is completely enclosed because it's effectively a Faraday cage. However, any openings larger than a fractional wavelength will allow it to enter. The maximum intensity of a nuclear EMP is at approximately 100 MHz, which is the same frequency as 100 FM on your radio. If you drive to the bottom of the parking garage and tune into 100 FM or channels nearby, and you still get a signal, then you're not protected. If the signal is gone or extremely weak, then it's offering decent protection.
You'll need to store gas, because gas pumps won't work. I have gas available, because I use so much on the farm. I hadn't contemplated doing this for my vehicles, but I will now. I've had a whole house surge suppressor for several years. It was easy to install and not terribly pricey. Great video as always!

Look, I retired from the Army in 2018 and still work for them. We don’t use this to protect our equipment. An EMP is not a point effect weapon it an area effect which means the whole vehicle is being hit by the EMP almost at the same time ( please account the roof will be impacted a split second before the rest). It travels through our the frame as well as the wiring.
Prevention?
@@bseidem5112 Its not worth protecting your car, build a faraday cage in your workshop and put your generator there, thats worth way more then a dozen cars. All streets will be blocked by cars anyway, gaspumps dont work..so yea.
The only way to 100% protect your car is park it underground (if you still get radio signal its not good enough), an emp hardend bunker or park your car in a faraday cage. But like i said, you will run out of gas anyway and dont have space to drive to anyway.
Also, you think the enemy doesnt know about emp hardend bunkers or faraday cages? They will fire multiple EMP's. Many people will bring the generator out and bam hit by the second one.

Awesome point on the gray man/when to use it stuff. I read an account from Katrina that said they could only use their generator during the day (sound/light discipline) because they'd have people show up who wanted free stuff or wanted to TAKE their stuff.
Pretty cool idea and I want to believe this would work but I'm pretty skeptical... I'm not sure how something attached to ur battery can protect the entire electrical system in a vehicle unless the source of the surge was inside the battery itself. And with a $300 price tag I'd want some proof that it actually does it's job lol
Does not work !! Will not work !! Blow $300.00 on food and hope it does not hit any closer than 200 miles or your tost!
You can pick up some cheap carb'd motos for use in an emergency. An EMP would leave roads cluttered with disabled vehicles so having a two wheeled option is a plus.
Very cool!! This has always been the gaping hole in my preparation. I do have two older dirt bikes that shouldn’t be affected by an EMP but their uses are a little bit limited …but it’s something to get me around. This little unit is a game changer.

@@computerguru70 that's a fire hazard
Encase it in lead.
That's actually a pretty good idea - especially if the right insulation and air tight seals are made. Earthed to solid copper rods buried in damp soil to ground any charge. Most sensitive electronics even a car would be protected.
You'd probably need to hide it or better still, get it buried as many survivors will want it.
But what about the concept of induction. Like a pulse is a little difficult to understand. where would the current land first? I mean if it flows through to the motherboard at all and not directly where that device is then the amps should be to much and it will heat and melt the smaller wires. Not sure if this would actually protect it. But maybe it is peace of mind
Before I spent money on a device like that, I would want to know how it was tested. My understanding is the ECU (or ECM) would be ruined during an an EMP because their would not be a countering electromagnetic field device like a Faraday Cage taking the EMP pulse away from the the ECU/ECM on the firewall or inside the car. If you cannot ground the EMP charge away from your device, they will fail. And some modern cars have as many as 4 or more sub-Control Modules in the vehicle.

I'm a retired Aerospace Technologist and you just wasted your vlog!
You have grounded the battery to the device but that's it (if the PVC (94 volt) box isn't shielded inside then even the battery won't be either.
Best way to shield the car or truck in your case would be to individually ground each component with either copper, silver, Gold fingers is best or mesh with o-ring gasket. The gasket must be placed on the base and top of shielded boxes that are made of metal or plated like baby shoes (copper etc). Don't forget your truck is sitting on rubber tires which is shielding it too.
AND yes you can Die from a SOLAR FLARE too!
EMP affects electronics directly - namely ICs, not just through wires. If the circuitry isn't shielded with metal directly, it will fry.
One Second After by William R. Forstchen is a good book about a small town dealing with an EMP event. The main character drives an old Ford Edsel that wasn’t affected. Very realistic portrayal of a possible emp e1 event.
excellent young man, I am 68 and that your video is clear and piece if mind, thank you
You can keep small devices in an old microwave. Microwaves are perfect faraday cages. You can also build larger faraday cages for vehicles, etc
1930s hand crank tractors , perhaps some older moped and motorcycles using magneto kick starters
You kind of addressed my question at the very end. If this works, you’re left with a vehicle, but you won’t be able to get gas because the stations will be fried. The only use for a post-EMP vehicle is to get you to a bug out location...if you have enough fuel.
That’s where you siphon gas from everyone who’s car isn’t emp proofed
Fellow Gear Queer here! Gear is life and life is gear.
I saw some comments about Faraday cages. A cage is mainly to keep out electrostatic fields, which include RF fields. It does NOT shield magnetic field. Your compass will work in a Faraday cage LOL.
Sorry, it’s a scam, listen to the PhD in the comments.
The best thing about your vehicle being EMP proof is that after an EMP nobody needs the gas in their tanks and you have some extra fuel to gather 😅.
Looking forward to seeing more Gear Tuesdays! I would never of even thought about EMP proofing my truck lol
You've brought up some good points and I suppose the device for your car is better than nothing, however, where is the best place to be in a lightning storm ... your car. Why? Because the tires insulate you from earth ground and unless you have a way to make contact with the ground, I doubt it will be of much use. OK, a way around this would be to take another wire from the frame and have a drive pin or short ground rod and when you are stationary drive the rod or pin into the ground so when the EMP hits there is actually a path for the energy to go. On the other hand if you are mobile when it hits, you're probably screwed anyway. Just sayn'

I would make sure to get the tools to be able to recondition batteries so that when it craps out you will be able to make due. I would also stock up on the cells, plates, and caps from a battery manufacturer/reconditioner or from old batteries. I know with the dry cell batteries you won’t be able to recondition them very easily if at all. It may be wise to get a secondary battery that has regular old acid so that you can recondition that one and use the other battery for other accessories. Getting a solar power battery charger also in case of an alternator crapping out would be wise as well and having extra rebuild kits for the alternator/starter/pulleys. You better be ready to guard your property with your life in an end world scenario when nobody has a working vehicle. Ensuring it is a dark color would be wisest, driving at night, using a night vision camera to avoid using lights, and have tap/bags to cover up your lights inside your vehicle because a lighted up vehicle in the complete darkness would be an easy target for a needy person with a rifle. We don’t want to make ourselves easy targets by any means. If you’re trying to avoid the forced jabs I would start producing your own foods (meat & veggies) because back in September Klaus Schwab admitted that they will start to put the mRNA technology along with nanotechnology in the food & animals that are going to market for consumption. The nanotechnology is considered “GRAS” (generally regarded as safe) because the larger granular sized particles of the same type of elements/minerals/matrix are considered safe without doing any tests with nano sized technology/particles. It is commonly known in the scientific community that nano particles nearly always have properties that aren’t anywhere near the properties of the regular minerals. This can be viewed as Carbon is 6 atoms, then you assemble 6 carbons together into graphite, and when you put 6 graphite molecules together you form Graphene oxide. Graphene oxide is known to have the same properties as water being both hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and electrically conductive. These 3 traits aren’t present in carbon or graphite at all. Just a little extra science for the survivors out there to stay on top of their survival game.

So, not trying to be difficult , but, what protects the Shield box thingy from an EMP?
The thingy is the sacrifical circuit instead of your car
@Daniel Giller, I need more info regarding your expertise on this matter, could you elaborate a little more on this? Are EMPs a credible threat to civilians, would a device like this EMP shield offer protection as advertised, if not, what literature can you point me to so I can do a little more research on this. Thanks in advance.
Just so you know, like tankers you need to have a harness that tappers to the ground to discharge the power. Reason being your tires act as a insulator therefore it needs a out point which is the harness tapering to the ground.

I have my doubts about this. I think the most foolproof method to totally protect against an EMP is to get an old truck and have all the wires and electrical components on hand in a faraday cage. The problem with new trucks is the amount of electrical components and wiring. Unless you work on them for a living, you're going to be way in over your head. Sometime after the EMP, change out all the electrical parts. There would likely be multiple EMPs so it would not be wise to change them out immediately and it would be wise to have multiples of each component. This is certainly a cheaper option than buying all the parts multiple times over but will it protect against the EMP? My guess is it would get fried like everything else and even if it did manage to stop the first EMP, it would take the full brunt of the pulse, and get fried, leaving your truck vulnerable to the next attack. Nevertheless, it's a good option to have. All I'm saying is don't solely rely on it and think it will get you through.
Best to go stone age a 2021 Chevy truck has 13 different computers in it not counting all the other components.
IMO an emp microwave wouldn’t do anything to a modern day vehicle because the metal vehicle is it’s own faraday cage and rubber on the ground to keep from grounding. So your Saturn might be affected. I haven’t personally tested this but if a trash can could protect a ham radio then my theory can’t be far off.?
Thanks for giving out some tips. We gain more from helping each other than we do from a lot of politicians
I think the only thing that may save a modern vehicle from a genuine emp is having it stored in a metal shed. I have all my vehicles in a quonset hut, 60x 150ft x 30ft all steel and I believe that is about the best you can hope for.
It's a little more complicated than this. Your vehicle electronics must be contained within a faraday cage. The vehicle must also be located in a shielded bunker.
Would an aluminum shed work good as a faraday cage?
No, In fact an emp would pretty much leave most vehicles intact as they are already surrounded in metal
The engine wire harness would be a huge conductor for that EM energy and the ecu processor would be fried as a result. The engine bay is not perfectly shielded.
Massively overpriced and doubtful if it works. I'll stick to the faraday cage, thanks.
Having an ultra fast TVS on the supply lines is only one protection as there are many ingress points in a vehicle such as ECU’s IO ports and radio antenna. Just my two cents.
After reviewing the military testing data offered in the link, it looks like it would take out some of the A phase of an EMP event, but, what about the B and C phase components? What about repeated A phase compromises of the device? I might have missed it, but, didn't see any of that test data in the link. Best EMP protection is in a well grounded, sealed faraday cage.
The problem is you never know if something is emp prof until it’s too late.
Sovereign Citizens are exempt from EMPs
Gearing up for Tuesday
Best thing I think would be to buy a vehicle before 1975, buy an extra ECM, coil and starter and chuck it in a faraday cage. Oh buy a fuel siphon for tour free gas and a can of orange spray paint to mark the vehicles whose tanks you’ve emptied.
Your back up emp car or truck you should make sure it has points and condenser, not an electronic ignition. Also, make sure you can set points and a dwell analog meter and spare condenser and points in your metal shielded container.
Don't forget about the voltage regulator. Alternators are vulnerable, a '55 Corvette generator wouldn't be
@@whitewolf30f Yes, alternators can be knocked out with an EMP, but a non-electronic ignition vehicle should keep running till the battery runs down.
My question would be whether the numbers add up, such devices can't have been tested on anything anywhere near as big as a Carrington style CME flare and so how do the numbers compare with the actual data we have on such events.
One picosecond actually. Also, EMP Shield is a veteran owned, American company who has enormous contracts with the DHS, DOD, Texas DEMSO team for their independent grid, & on & on. I have had them on my cars and home for over 3 years. We got hit directly by lightning and it saved everything in the house. That isn't the impressive part! As I was looking for any damage and went to the breaker panel, I noticed that my EMP Shield was blackened on the surface and had a dark black burn line between the screws that mount it on the wall. I couldn't figure it out. I went outside and where the ground terminal is for the entire house is also the young bear's favorite place to sneak into the fenced area of my property to look for food, bird feeders, etc. Well even a cub that is taking day trips out on his own weighs quite a bit and one of them ripped the ground wire off of the terminal in the actual ground, which was run through, the middle, wrapped around several times and secured by two tightening screws and a clamp. The ungrounded EMP Shield took the brunt of a direct lightning strike to the house and fried out the unit but saved everything, I lost not one cent. The customer service is so fantastic there (made in Kansas, Kansas Business of the Year 2020-21) that I explained what had happened, thanked them profusely and they asked me to take a picture of the unit properly hooked up to the panel and send the fried unit back to them on their dime for a free replacement unit! (They told me they had a team that took apart atypical happenings to units and analyzed them to see what worked and how for any possible upgrades to be made on newer generation units) They're amazing! If you have ANY problems, which you will not but were you to, ask for Andrew. He is a fantastic guy and a member of a community I belong to online. He's a part owner of the business and will personally speak with you about any issue that customer service and product support cannot remedy. Amazing company, amazing product, our government and Military vehicles as well as installations are all being fortified with these, as well as all the other ham/comms unit, solar unit, boat, etc etc. I can not overstate how amazing of a product and company they have and are! 💯👈🏻
Protect yourself from the looters and thieves after an EMP

Don’t forget the fact that he stands there talking about his preps...!
It’s a glorified surge protector and it does THE EXACT SAME THING. $349? Are you joking?
Thanks young man, you might consider me a old fart, I've been wondering if there was anything to protect my electronics on my Tahoe, I've been a outdoors nut for most of my life, to give you a idea how old I am I'm 63 , keep up the good work, and pass it on to the younger generation, so we can protect the greatest country to ever exist. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Even if worked. Gas stations won't. For almost everyone you can only get as far as what you have in your tank to carry you & what you can scrouge. I'd recommend After Armageddon
It's about a family that's unprepared for any castrophy. Lots of useful info about what will probably happen if things go South.
$390 For a what if?!?!
I take it you don't pay for insurance
@@LastLineOfDefense I understand but you must have oprah money .
Johnny Brock just like a lot of preparedness items
@@boromir57368 that's a expensive one all I'm saying for a what if. $390 and go a long way into other areas...
I'd say it's for people who already have their ducks in a row. Putting that money towards a good running vehicle, savings, or just having a couple weeks worth of food would help a lot more people. But if I had the money for say, a new Tacoma, then I'd find the money for this.
Thisbis great if you live in the woods. Good luck in populated areas. I live in ny and you can get anywhere during rush hour and thats is a normal day. When shtf hits its to late.
Some areas will be difficult to navigate post pulse due to dead vehicles clogging up exits and intersections.
*US Government has entered the chat*
@Loonytoones85
Hi there, it's one of your friendly neighbors to the North eh!
Everyone else in the World are pretty certain you have lost control of at least two of your co-equal branches of government and that you are a dictatorship.
Good luck with your next "elections"
PS. We're considering closing the border and pretending we don't know you, very sorry.
Apologetically yours,
Canada
;)
@Loonytoones85
LoL the only boot licking going on in North America is in the US Senate.
We've never actually needed the US but the US definitely needs us, just imagine if we were to align with any other super power.
You'd have them right at your doorstep and no access to all those cheap resources, your GDP would plummet over night.
We'd never do it though not without further crazy from your side...well I guess we all know where that's headed.
Naw they’re somewhere on his property watching him already
It dont matter where your at America or Canada when or if shtf its gunna citizens against the evil governments. So no need to argue we are all better off together!!
Call it tactical Tuesday all the tactical gear you need for intense situations
I'm def gonna get one .. why not be prepared right? Goin on my overlander built beast.. '20 Ranger XLT FX4 crew- cab. She has 33" on 18" wheels & Fox 2.0 shock kit. Has best frame (stock) T6 & powertrain (CAI only) in midsize class to boot.
Listen to the Electrical Engineers...this device is a waste of money.
What about the other electrical engineers who performed all the military testing, and those at DoD that endorse it?
They're what you'd call "profit-driven".
Like yourself.
Lol a testing facility is profit driven? You funny
@@LastLineOfDefense Joe Blazer is not kidding. Read the EMP Commission report to Congress for yourself. It has a lot of indepth information that you have not obviously been exposed to.
Put you rig in a shipping container.
They are a faraday cage and might protect your ride if it's in there when this goes off.
I bet you are glad you invested into the emp shield now with all the talk of EMPs lately 😊 I am planning to purchase one myself
Good Luck young man.
Thanks for the EMP info to protect vehicles and home!
thank you for the code man still works and got us a 100.00 of our order
I'd like to see inside of the weather proof box and if you get into water you'll have issues unless it's sealed where the wires come out.
:D this is good. especially that you are grounding that box to vehicle frame which bay the way is connected to battery negative terminal:D. So at the end there is no any protection. Best solution on a cheap side what you can do is ground your car to earth like it was done with old cars which had special rubber strips at the rear tacking ground. But this will not gonna protect your car and probably will not work for your house as well. This could work ass good surge protector but not as EMP protection, unless you have whole house under Faraday blanket and the only way how EMP can get in your house is threw electrical wiring coming in a house. Sorry for my bad English.
