Yep. Got a spare points distributor for my K5 Blazer around here somewhere...

I keep my whole car wrapped in tinfoil. It's kind of hard to see out of any windows, but when the EMP comes I'll be protected.

Please explain how a box with 2 wires could protect a vehicle from EMP.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Please explain how a box with 2 wires could protect a vehicle from EMP. Three wires. My understanding is it shunts positive, negative and body together when the EMP overvoltage happens. Once the event passes it returns to normal. This should prevent voltage differentials across sensitive electronics that would kill them. |

Kinda thought a vehicles body functioned as sort of a faraday cage. Also the effects of an airburst EMP mostly affects the grid due to all power lines acting like receivers (and electronics attached to it). Just basing this on general reading. Wouldn't be the first time if I'm wrong.

If modern vehicles can’t be jumped straight off the battery, because it might hurt the electronics, I’m not sure how well they would handle that.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Three wires. My understanding is it shunts positive, negative and body together when the EMP overvoltage happens. Once the event passes it returns to normal. This should prevent voltage differentials across sensitive electronics that would kill them. My mistake. I should have looked at the photo more closely. My first job after graduating from college was to analyze EMP effects on B-52s and modify its circuits to protect against EMP. I wish that I had known about this device then. I could have saved taxpayers millions of dollars. |

You do know your whole car is basically a faraday cage? Also EMP kind of needs long wires to build up a charge, most thing that are not plugged in to any long wires will probably be fine. Take our cell phone in your pocket it should be fine, but if plugged in and charging it probably a goner.
go look up when they did the tests, most cars will be fine. |

EMP on cars is a bit of a meme. A parked car will be fine, a running car will most likely be fine. Own a back up car and dont worry about it.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Please explain how a box with 2 wires could protect a vehicle from EMP. Agreed. Negative from the battery is already attached to the chassis. Where else can you direct current? |

And if it doesn't work against an EMP? I'm guessing if war has started that you won't be able to call them asking for a refund or exchange.

Three wires. My understanding is it shunts positive, negative and body together when the EMP overvoltage happens. Once the event passes it returns to normal. This should prevent voltage differentials across sensitive electronics that would kill them. That would immediately burn those wires if not the main fuse. Negative and chassis are already connected. Connect that to positive and you will have a direct short. |

It's got a +12, -12 and GND wire that looks like maybe 18 ga.
Box is completely sealed with no non-destructive way to open. If you did open it I bet all you find is a simple circuit board that provides 12 volts to the little green power LED. Scam meter is in red. |
