why would there be an emp attack?... i mean it's great to know how to deal with one.... but i don't think there will be zombies playing gameboys creeping around...

Supposedly, after an atomic bomb is detonated there is an EMP emitted.

Sector 7 - I would love to join or put together a team in the Lower Bucks / Bensalem area. Message me if you are interested or have any info.

A nuclear detonated bomb designed specifically for the EMP blast (multiple governments have these), detonated high enough in the atmosphere can wipe out the entire country's electronics.

It's basically just a nuke, but by it being set off so high in the atmosphere, the EMP is able to spread out over more area instead of being blocked by natural barriers and the curvature of the earth. A nuke set off that high in the atmosphere would have almost no effect in terms of radiation or explosive power, but the EMP is more than effective enough at that distance. That being said, in the event of a ZPAW, the radiation and blast itself might be used to clear out an uncontrolled outbreak. IIRC, Future Weapons did a segment on the EMP bomb. They also had a smaller EMP device for doing tests on electronic equipment, if I remember correctly that was at Los Alamos.

How does the EMP break electronics?
What is EMP itself? A pulse of radiation? A radiation wave? Can it pass through solids? Water? How does it work exactly!

My bad, thought you were talking about the emp bomb. An Electro-Magnetic Pulse works basically by causing fierce micro-vibrations inside of Integrated Circuits. It can pass through some solids better than others (depending on how thick), it can pass through water, but also only to a limit. It is radiation in the concept that visible light is radiation. Unless you're subject to a high density of EMP, there is no real effect on living material. For that matter, vacuum tubes are unaffected. The EMP only really effects the newer (relatively), more densely packed electronics that tend to have IC chips in them. Almost every electronic produced nowadays does, for many years at this point. IIRC, the insides of the IC chips are so densely packed that the magnetic vibrations inside them destroy them, whereas the older styles have more space for the vibrations to not really effect them.

if an emp hits were screwed...think lights out by (sorry not on my pc, it is in an earlier thread however..) read that stuff for a good novel, Zpaw occurs due to emp...MutantZombieBikers appear...MZB's, our equivilent to zpaw...damn good read for structering order...which we may not have accordign to some threads...democracy is 100X better than republic in small scalle of less than 2000 people
