In the case of an EMP attack anything electronic will most likely be fried. Toast thats right your PC your laptop cell phone land line Cable tv is gone Power grid down for months Oh that 401k you been banking on just did an Enron Dive all your money 1's and 0's just a zero now! So this thread is for some discussion on making your own Faraday cage (or Faraday box) to protect items around your home. In essence, this is a “container” that itself is conductive (e.g. steel), is “grounded” (e.g. has a wire attached, which itself is attached to the buildings grounding system by being screwed to an outlet, much like a 3-prong-to-2-prong plug adapter is supposed to be), and is thoroughly insulated (e.g. lined with plastic, cardboard, or other non-conductive material). Discussions of Faraday boxes included using anything from metal filing cabinets & trash cans (that closed tightly) to small metal boxes (e.g. metal 5x7 card file for watches, etc, on the bedside table, but also that closed tightly). The simplest/ cheapest Faraday box is probably just a box covered with foil and grounded, and with another box inside it where you put your stuff. (Note: Grounding is not absolutely essential for a well-insulated box, but increases its effectiveness dramatically ... if I remember my military training correctly.) Here’s a useful link: [link to www.endtimesreport.com]
BTW, my first experience with a Faraday cage was an entire metal building; and since then they have included special rooms within buildings. Also, I have heard of people storing a full set of replacement “chips” and stuff for their cars, ignoring the fact that they don’t even have a clue where to put them (if they had to replace them themselves) and the additional fact that an EMP burst that “fries” their car’s electronics is likely to knock out every gas pump around. So you see this can get out of hand.
Before you (or anyone else) go overboard in coming up with protection, take time out to seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance. Remember, the primary target in an EMP attack is neither your battery-operated watch nor the “smart chip” in your brand new refrigerator. Anyone launching an EMP attack would be more interested in knocking out power grids … so even your old-fashioned hotplate (which is just wires and an on/off switch) won’t work.
Practical steps include having some kind of home Faraday box, and storing in it items such as a battery-operated radio with batteries separately stored – items which you would be using for an emergency (such as a hurricane, earthquake, tornado, etc) and which you could even grab-and-go, if necessary. Have an alternative way of cooking your food, such as wood/charcoal for your fireplace, or a camp stove and fuel. (Don’t forget matches.) If you’re in the market for a new watch anyway, you might consider looking for an “automatic” one: these used to be called “self-winding” watches, and are easier to find that an old-fashioned wind-it-yourself model, today. (If you’re not in the market for that watch anyway, pray first. There may be a better place to put that $150 or so that it would cost … such as a good backpack for your “bug out” kit.)
Most important practical step: Remember who God is, and don’t live in fear.
