In the book - "One Second After", the U.S. gets hit with an ElectroMagnetic Pulse (EMP) as a result of a nuclear detonation above the continental U.S. This EMP cripples almost all of the electronic circuitry in the U.S. This includes our power grid, communications equipment, GPS, etc. Anything with circuitry would basically be disabled. :shakehead
?? What would happen to an LED torch with a protected 18650 cell??
I'm in the early stages of planning how to survive such an event, whether man-made or solar induced.
My question is this: Would wrapping a torch in aluminum foil protect it from an EMP?
Yes - I realize that having my torches go out is probably the least of my problems, but in my (Law Enforcement) profession, it could be invaluable for survival and protection.
No - I'm not running around my house wearing a tin-foil hat and I would appreciate serious replies only. lovecpf
Thanks in advance,
Dave
