Directory:High-powered Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP) -- EMP Cruise Missile - The U.S. Air Force and Boeing recently tested a cruise missile not too different from a drone that is capable of selectively targeting buildings with an EMP blast that doesn't harm civilians, but irreparably destroys electronics. How will you protect your family. Have you considered a hardened structure? (PESWiki October 27, 2012)
Benefit: Deactivating Chip Implants
Free Energy Blog:2016:02:11 – She said her body is riddled with electronic chips of varying sizes. She was hoping I might know of way to deactivate them. I suggested being present during one of the military’s tests of their localized EMP weapons – if they’ll let her. (Free Energy Blog February 11, 2016)

EMP long-term blackout: effects, preparation, remedies - If a Carrington type solar X-class flare event were to happen today, or the deployment of a weaponized EMP, it would wipe out the grid and unprotected electronics, not just for hours, but for many months or even years. Distributed energy solutions are not immune if they are not properly insulated from such an event. (PESN November 7, 2015)

Repentance Clause: Destruction of America not inevitable - Yes, there are many prophecies of the destruction of America, but these are based on America not repenting. If America does repent, then these can be turned away. Isaiah 66 describes a scenario of a nation being born in a day and the kingdom of God being born without tribulation first. It's not too late.

Free Energy Blog:2014:07:31 - Billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Singer has issued an unusual warning for investors, calling the threat of a widespread blackout from an electromagnetic surge the "most significant danger" in the world. (FreeEnergyBlog July 31, 2014)

Picture an instantaneous deathblow to the vital engines that power our society, delivered by a nuclear weapon designed not to kill humans but to attack electronics, crippling every aspect of modern society's infrastructure.

Directory: Remedies for Grid Vulnerabilities to Solar Flares - If a blast like the Carrington Event of 1859 occurred again, we could see 100 million people out of electricity for a couple years. However, installing 'surge protection' for the power grid would not be that expensive or difficult – especially when contrasted with the expense of unprotected components failing. A call to action.

China Developing Super Electromagnet Pulse Bomb - In gearing up for possible conflicts or war with the United States, the top weapon China is developing is a super electromagnetic pulse bomb that can blanket the U.S. and send America back to the dark ages in less than one second.

Zero Hour: The Day The Grid Stood Still - There are several causal factors, natural and manmade, that could bring out modern grid to a stand-still, arguing for the need for distributed, hardened power. Disruption could come from electromagnetic pulse (EMP) from a military nuclear detonation, or it could come from a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun. (PESN April 30, 2010)

Recent Near Miss Warning Shot (BOGUS): Huge Solar Flare Almost Knocked Out Power Nationwide - Two weeks ago an EMP event from the Sun flashed across the Earth's orbit about two weeks before the Earth got there. It would have knocked out power, effecting cars and iPhones, etc. “for a long time.” Do we deserve such a thing? Efforts to protect the 2,000-3,000 transformers in the US grid are meeting with political resistance. (

Planes Could Be Brought Down By DIY 'E-bombs' - Electromagnetic pulse weapons capable of frying the electronics in civil airliners can be built using information and components available on the net. All it would take to bring a plane down would be a single but highly energetic microwave radio pulse blasted from a device inside a plane, or on the ground and trained at an aircraft coming in to land.

Can solar panels withstand an EMP attack? - Forum responses: Most panels have bypass diodes fitted to the discrete series arrays within the panel. Panels are not normally just a mass of cells. With EMP exposure the inverter is the biggest concern since the PN junction of a microchip/fet/transistor is much much smaller than a PN wafer of a PV panel... (EnergyMatters May 03, 2010)
Workarounds
Tubes
Tubes were ubiquitous in the early generations of electronic devices, such as radios, televisions, and early computers such as the Colossus which used 2000 tubes, the ENIAC which used nearly 18,000 tubes, and the IBM 700 series. Vacuum tubes inherently have higher resistance to the electromagnetic pulse effect of nuclear explosions. This property kept them in use for certain military applications long after transistors had replaced them elsewhere. Vacuum tubes are still used for very high-powered applications such as microwave ovens, industrial radio-frequency heating, and power amplification for broadcasting.
Tubes are also considered by many people in the audiophile, professional audio, and musician communities to have superior audio characteristics over transistor electronics, due to their warmer, more natural tone. There are many companies which still make specialized audio hardware featuring tube technology. http://peswiki.com/index.php/PowerPedia:Vacuum_tube
