That plane was not an A10. It was an Electronic Warfare plane emitting Electronic Countermeasures. Probably Intruder or similar. The Navy does not fly A10'sSpeaking of "many types" of EMP, sometime in the 70s I was sitting in a 67 Mustang convertible, in Poquoson, Va....probably somewhere I wasn't supposed to be, listening to music on the radio, when what I think was an A10 Warthog, (maybe from Norfolk Naval Station?) flew in low, almost directly over me and instantly my radio made a pop sound and never worked again! I got out of there fast, (my Mustang engine still started!) but not too fast, because the road I was on had huge potholes, some large enough to swallow a motorcycle or compact car! I never went back there, but I've always wondered if that plane had some microwave or mini EMP device that was designed to knock out enemy communications or radar in advance of other planes? Or was it just coincidence?
SOTU speech tonight.You will end up not needing even working devices when the power grid, radio masts and transformers are grilled by the EMP.
Learn to survive without technology, you will be one step further than if you still cry after the crap that no longer works.
Missed you here!!!SOTU speech tonight.
Just in case Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, or some other country/group that thinks we are weak due to our leadership... set off one of these tonight...I've learned a lot from you all.
Pray for our troops.
Many thanks to you all,

Miss your input lady.Moved to North Carolina, a military town; so although I believe being prepared, educated, and physically conditioned for a SHTF or TEOTWAWKI event... I'm a sitting duck here. Not as bad as some target sites, but bad enough. But I am near my family, and that's all that matters.
Still love popping on and reading the scuttlebutt though!!!
I love this country, but how it has changed for the ABSOLUTE WORST. It is almost paralyzing to think how weak this counter-culture society has made us appear on the world stage. 2024, come Hell or high water, we will return to an America we can all be proud of, again. We must.
Most sincere,
Pray for our troops

How could I protect my gasoline powered electricity generator ? Actually I don't even know if it would be vulnerable to an EMP /CME .If anyone wants to know how to protect from EMP, CME, I have a home electrical serviceprotected, a home generator, a home solar system and vehicles protected with EMP Shield. I know how they work and what's protected, not protected and what doesn't need protecting. Just ask.

It has both a pull start and a battery operated electric start .What model is it? If it has an electronic start, then that would need protecting. If it's an old pull start model with no electronics, then your ok.
It has both a pull start and a battery operated electric start .
My small 3500 gas gen has only pull start. My larger 7500 dual fuel has battery and pull start.
Would unhooking the battery be sufficient to protect?
@Proud Prepper In a previous conversation, you had suggested a Shield on the DC side and AC side of the Gen. The shields would be more than the Gen cost.
I am sold on a Shield but in the current situation don‘t see it working. 200A service split on outside, 100 Amp panels on either side of the house. No room in one box, plenty in the other.
New place I could see it working. Single box 200a with room.
Trying to get your explanations out to everyone.The DC side is for the electric starter powered by the battery on the home generator that does not have a pull start and the ac emp shield is to protect the digital electronics in the gen. If your generator is not electronic and has a pull starter no EMP shield is needed for your battery and starter, they dont need to work for the generator to be operational. You would only need to protect everything connected to your home wiring using an EMP shield on your 200amp breaker panel.
After an EMP you connect your generator to your home breaker panel that has a home emp shield and the generator then becomes protected with everything else plugged into that electrical system. The only thing not protected is your electronic starter that is connected to your non protected 12v battery.
Trying to get your explanations out to everyone.
The shields for that gen cost about as much as my 7500 dual fuel. But I have the pull start. Trying to put it into a budget for what they can do.
There's many variables. EMP types and strengths. How harder or vulnerable your equipment is.Wouldn't any kind of generator have to have some kind of electronics to regulate the voltage? I ask because I really don't know how a generator does that, I just know it has to give it more gas when the load increases.
That was most likely an Intruder equipped with radar jamming equipment or Electronic Warfare Equipment. A-10's are ground attack support aircraft.Speaking of "many types" of EMP, sometime in the 70s I was sitting in a 67 Mustang convertible, in Poquoson, Va....probably somewhere I wasn't supposed to be, listening to music on the radio, when what I think was an A10 Warthog, (maybe from Norfolk Naval Station?) flew in low, almost directly over me and instantly my radio made a pop sound and never worked again!

Wow, I think you're right. It was the big, rounded nose I remembered.That was most likely an Intruder equipped with radar jamming equipment or Electronic Warfare Equipment. A-10's are ground attack support aircraft.

I am dealing with a 70s off grid house that finally got power in the mid 90s. So I have a bit of a weird set upIt doesn't matter if the shield cost as much or more than the generator. Is the total cost worth it to you to have that electricity generation after an EMP or power surges?
Each unit is made to protect a certain operational voltage. What do you not see working? They can be mounted on the outside of a box, don't need room inside.
You can call them and consult with them on what you need to protect your system.
