EMP novel "One Second After" has a sequel coming out soon

cool!

Sounds like a winner ! The original book was very good.

I will check that out. I loved One Second After.

Did you know our fear of EMP vis a vie automobiles
is WAY overblown?

The EMP Commission actually TESTED vehicles and
most passed with no effects.

We tested a sample of 37 cars in an EMP simulation laboratory, with automobile vintages
ranging from 1986 through 2002. Automobiles of these vintages include extensive
electronics and represent a significant fraction of automobiles on the road today. The
testing was conducted by exposing running and nonrunning automobiles to sequentially
increasing EMP field intensities. If anomalous response (either temporary or permanent)
was observed, the testing of that particular automobile was stopped. If no anomalous
response was observed, the testing was continued up to the field intensity limits of the
simulation capability (approximately 50 kV/m).
Automobiles were subjected to EMP environments under both engine turned off and
engine turned on conditions. No effects were subsequently observed in those automobiles
that were not turned on during EMP exposure. The most serious effect observed on running
automobiles was that the motors in three cars stopped at field strengths of approximately
30 kV/m or above. In an actual EMP exposure, these vehicles would glide to a
stop and require the driver to restart them. Electronics in the dashboard of one automobile
were damaged and required repair. Other effects were relatively minor. Twenty-five
automobiles exhibited malfunctions that could be considered only a nuisance (e.g.,
blinking dashboard lights) and did not require driver intervention to correct. Eight of the
37 cars tested did not exhibit any anomalous response.

Not a sequel, his new novella is called "Day Of Wrath". It is required reading for all doomtards, like myself.

Shut it shill. They only tested to a certain level, nothing close to a nuclear bomb's fallout.

Also shill those years were cars that were more metal than pleiglass. Did you look into modern ones that are boxes of glass and not metal?

Who the fuck would he be shilling for? GLPs favorite response to facts!!!

Who the fuck would he be shilling for? GLPs favorite response to facts!!!

Which should I read first?

One Second After

Or

Going Home?

Said the shill that mislead with "facts"

Going Home

That was a sad book. I guess I am so used to modern medicine. Diabetics dying and all that jazz.....

The level they tested to is consistent with a nuclear high altitude EMP burst.

SGEMP refers to system generated EMP and only applies to the EMP received by satellites.

And thus the cash for clunkers deal.

cars 2002 and up are DOOOOOOOMED.

most people have cars 2000 and up now.

They should have tested the new cars. So much electronics in the new ones, some can't even be opened with a key. I'm all for technology but every car should have a manual solution if the battery goes flat or the computer chip dies. Have seen a woman trapped in her car, couldn't wind down the window or unlock the door. Had to be rescued.
