Survive the End Days
A higher altitude attack is directly proportional with the intensity and the extent of the
damage, meaning that if detonated from the ground, then the EMP will most likely affect the
electronics on a few miles radius, but if detonated from a 40 km altitude, then it will destroy
all electric circuits and chips on a 480 mile radius.
For us to experience utter destruction and for all the US territory to be affected, our
enemies would need to detonate the EMP bomb from a 300 mile altitude. They can do so, by
launching guided missiles into the space and detonating them when they reach the proper
height. To make matters worse, small EMP devices are being traded on the black market.
1. How was the EMP discovered?
Tests carried out in the United
Kingdom, in the early 1950s led the
scientists into believing that atomic
detonations
would
create
instrumentation failures. They called
this phenomenon "radio flash", which
was what the British scientists called
the EMP at that time. However, in the
long run, they become aware that the
“explosive power” of the EMPs also has
devastating effects upon the electric
power grid.
Later on, whilst running the Hardtack Yucca test, scientists discovered that HEMPs (High
Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse) were, in fact, 1,000 times more powerful than the low
altitude EMPs, which exceeded the scientists’ expectations by far. All scientists immediately
contested the test results; nonetheless, they soon realized that their research had been
100% accurate.
Have you ever heard of 1.44 Megaton Starfish Prime explosion? It was part of the
Operation Fishbowl Series of atomic tests, of which the general public learnt about in 1962.
People in Hawaii were both dazed and confused by recent events, as they experienced first
hand the significant and surprising impacts of a HEMP. But what exactly happened then?
The Starfish Prime warhead was carried by the Thor rocket to an altitude of 680 miles
and detonated at an altitude of 240 miles. The impact of the atomic HEMP was felt 898 miles
away, in H awaii! Over 300 street lamps were knocked out by the EMP, which also harmed
the microwave link of a telephone company. Tremendous impact, wasn’t it?
