| #13 I've looked at this for my solar generator. From my readings, heavy aluminum foil of a couple of layers properly wrapped and sealed around the panels still in their shipping containers will suffice. |

| #10 EMP attack and the Smuggled Nuke Option This would result in a ground blast that would destroy anything that the EMP might touch. EMP wants to detonate at high altitude, preferable in space. |

| #9 #8 My personal thoughts: There's no way any add-on box can prevent all possible damage to all possible pieces of gear. The only way to know if the product would actually work for your application would be an actual test, which of course is out of the question. Postedby: M. Murcek 2023-05-29 08:18 M. Murcek, well put, sir. A couple of thoughts here: *Keep in mind unless you're in a fairly rural area, there won't be any radio stations, AM or FM, broadcasting, even if they somehow escape the pulse - most urban area stations now rely on satellite feeds, and those will be gone in the opening seconds. *A friend of mine who worked as a strategic analyst asked this question about an EMP attack and the Smuggled Nuke Option: If it was so easy to accomplish, why hasn't anybody tried? This is not to say that there isn't a threat, far from it. But it is much more likely that the effects of EMP would be much more localized to the area of the detonation, and that to pull off a truly effective EMP strike, it might require so many weapons as to be indistinguishable from a first strike anyways.

| #8 My personal thoughts: There's no way any add-on box can prevent all possible damage to all possible pieces of gear. The only way to know if the product would actually work for your application would be an actual test, which of course is out of the question. That said, if you are willing to devote the resources to hardening say a room in the corner of a basement, you'd probably have a pretty good chance of having the stuff stored there still work afterwards. Then the issue is, how long do your batteries last? Will the grid recover soon if at all? Will there be any radio stations operating at all, and will any radio station help you survive? If it fails in an actual EMP situation, your problems will be much bigger than filing a consumer lawsuit. |
