Every demonstration of actual EMP effect I have seen, like blasting stuff with a focused microwave magnatron, just seems unimpressive. I live in a metal trailer/mobile home. I wonder if my stuff is protected from the faraday cage effect. I know my truck is good because I put a carbureted big block in it. The computer box only runs the gauges anymore.
"The EMP from the same test caused the destruction of the Karaganda power plant, and shut down 1,000 km (620 mi) of shallow-buried power cables between Astana (then called Aqmola) and Almaty.[3]"
