[quote:Springsongs 226702:MV84MzIyMzhfMTI5MDQ0MjlfNzcwNTQyRg==] [quote:Douggie] Well I have a question for ya'll....well 2! 1) would a big fireproof safe be secure enough from an emp? 2) how would I find out what electrical components I would need to replace in my car if an emp did hit? [/quote] If the safe is made of lead, probably. I would look into the Faraday Cage for your whole care http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage not terribly practical unless you are a fabricator or have money. I still think an underground parking garage - multiple levels down would work. Unfortunately there aren't any where I am that I know of. So I guess I better make sure my bike is working [/quote]
Original Message
Since there is a lot of discussion about crop circles and a possible solar flare in about 48 hours that could affect electronics on our planet, what, if anything would one do to protect their electronic equipment from damage? If you buried your car battery in a hole in the ground (LOL) would that save it? Is that all you would need to save in order for your car to be able to run after an event like that?
Would parking your car in an underground parking garage save it? Maybe I will load my car with all my electronics Tuesday morning and park down below for the day. lol
