Protect Your Vehicle From an EMP with this Simple Strategy

ReadyNutrition Readers, there have been a tremendous number of world happenings that has placed all of us in a precarious situation. The past several months have seen successive tests of missiles, with a nuclear test as well (Friday 9/9/16) by North Korea. Iran and North Korea have been exchanging missile technology, supplemented by the Russians with technical advisors and materials. China, too, has been developing their SLBM (Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile) weaponry at a breakneck pace.
The military doctrine of both North Korea and Iran call for a first-strike against the continental United States using an EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) generating warhead. I wish to pen the caveat that I have been stating in my articles repeatedly for quite some time, now, hoping they will be taken into consideration:
A war would be kicked off with an EMP weapon detonated over the Continental United States, then a nuclear exchange, resulting in a World War.
That being said, there are numerous sites available for study of EMP effects as well as the nuclear threat capabilities of the countries previously mentioned. Read the briefings of Dr. Peter V. Pry who heads the committee to assess the threat of EMP against the United States. His writings and testimony before sessions of Congress between 2006 to 2009 are readily available and downloadable from the internet. He also expounds on the fact that he is certain that North Korea has the capabilities of miniaturizing a warhead to deliver an EMP, and they have already done so.
I recently submitted a piece to SHTFplan.com that details the effects of an EMP on vehicles, as well as some sites to research. In the interim, what can we do to reduce those effects? One of the things is a grounding wire, a simple term that we can “complicate” further by expounding on measures (shoebox, field-expedient measures) that you can do…and that I have already done for myself…to give your vehicle a better chance against an EMP.
Micro Circuitry and Computer Chips in Vehicles Will be Problematic in an EMP
Firstly, the majority of the testing done by the government and private companies conclude that most vehicles will be unaffected by the EMP. I wrote “most,” and the thing that it doesn’t take into consideration is the amount of complex micro circuitry and computer chips that exist in most cars after 1990. The engine of the vehicle may remain intact; however, computer ignition systems and sensitive microcircuits that control a great deal of a vehicle’s internal functions could be fried instantaneously. If the engine is fine, but it won’t start because the chip in the ignition is fried, well, the result would answer the question.
