Solar CMEs correspond to EMP pulse 3. CMEs can occur at any time during the solar cycle. You may get 1-2 hours warning, but authorities may be scared of crying wolf.
It will last for hours. It may affect the night-side of the Earth. Higher latitudes are more at risk. It consists of low frequency pulses, affecting long conductors (miles) and their connected equipment (transformers).
It will probably not affect your phone, laptop, car, kitchen ... unless your home devices are plugged into the mains, and the fuses/surge-protectors cannot cope (unlikely). Hint: buy a Siemens surge protector.
If your domestic solar/wind/diesel generators survive, only use them to keep your food freezer working, almost nothing else matters when grid & internet are down. Your neighbors, or less charitable types, may notice lights.
The mains power will likely be off for weeks, maybe months. Some emergency aid may be available (water, food, basic medical), depending on preparedness of your local authorities and military, but don't be surprised if some/most/all civil authority collapses (e.g. police go home to help their families). Some hospitals may have generators and fuel for days, up to a week.
Mad Max scenario only happens if power is not restored within 2-4 weeks. Emergency aid will depend on how the damage is distributed across the locality or country. If everything is down, fend for yourself. If it is localized, you might get some help, but .... remember Katrina in New Orleans ... don't hold your breath and hope.
- schiffern 2y agoNice video. Arthur Bradley has done tons of legwork educating and doing QA interviews on Youtube, just search his name and "EMP". > unless... the fuses/surge-protectors cannot cope (unlikely). Hint: buy a Siemens surge protector. Dr Bradley also stresses flipping your main breaker, as soon as possible (and ideally beforehand). Surge protectors work for short spikes, but constant overvoltage (like the slow-rising E3, which builds over seconds-to-minutes) will destroy them instantly once the grid voltage rises to meet the SPU cutoff voltage. After many teardowns he does recommend the FS140, but it wasn't a blanket recommendation for all Siemens products. Quality varies across their surge product line, from what I've seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRAJefgdKOU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRAJefgdKOU
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> only use them to keep your food freezer working This sounds like you can replicate all the advantages of full battery back-up with a month’s supply of canned food.
- grecy 2y ago> * remember Katrina in New Orleans ... don't hold your breath and hope.* I think it’s worth pointing out not every country has citizens barely able to survive and will to turn to violence at the slightest nudge. Would live get harder? For sure. But it doesn’t have to get ugly.
