Our Readers Write backApocalypse-Proof Transmission
In regard to your Doomsday Diesel (Jan. ’12) ’91 Suburban, the project has one Achilles Heel that hasn’t been taken into account. There’s an electro-magnetic pulse (EMP) that generally occurs when someone detonates a megaton-class thermonuclear device (atomic bomb) in the atmosphere. The resultant inductive pulse will fry any semiconductor (read: transistor) circuitry that isn’t shielded (usually by being stored inside a faraday cage with an earth ground).
