[QUOTE="WoodsCraft, post: 4075112, member: 51836"] Guys you need to quit drinking the EMP boogey man koolaid , there is a lot of credible evidence that contradicts what the fear mongering has been saying for a long time. Most modern consumer electronics , cars , computers have been built with survivability in mind . While some things will indeed not work many others will , an EMP natural or man made will not put civilization back into the dark ages . Please see the below .. Questions about the potential damage to vehicles in the aftermath of an EMP are quite common. An exhaustive study by the EMP Commission to determine the effects of an EMP on the United States ([URL='http://www.empcommission.org/']available here[/URL]) were conclusive: most vehicles would survive an EMP. [B]U.S. EMP Commission Test Results – Key Points[/B] [LIST] [*]50 vehicles built between 1987 and 2002 were exposed to a spectrum of EMP blasts (up to 50kV/m in strength). [*]3 out of 50 vehicles shut down while driving. [*]All 3 of these vehicles continued rolling until they safely coasted to a stop. [*]1 of those vehicles was disabled completely and would not restart. [*]2 of those vehicle restarted without an issue. [*]Many nuisance issues arose from the 50 exposed vehicles including radio interference, strange and erratic behavior from headlights, turn-signals or brake-lights, and one vehicle needed to have its dashboard replaced [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
