I would not worry for if i needed a heart pace setting device, and an atomic emp device were to blow out the computers of your country. there would be no help for you. you would fall into a military policed state, just this time with the police standing on every corner than looking through a cctv camera..
when faced with the brutality of the state, you see its STATE nature
the way i see it..

What is a Emp?
One meaning is the abbreviation for Electromagnetic Pulse. This is an intense magnetic field created by the detonation of a nuclear weapon. The EMP is capable of burning out electrical devices.
Would a high-altitude nuclear detonation destroy the critical components of a generator or electric motor?
yes. It is called EMP or electro magnetic pulse.
How does an EMP device effect pacemakers?
How does an Electro magnetic pulse device effect pacemakers
An Electromagnetic pulse is one of the effects caused by?
The explosion of an atomic weapon can cause an EMP.
Who invented e-bomb?
There is technically no such thing as an "E-Bomb." E-bomb refers to the use of a thermonuclear device detonated in the upper atmosphere for the specific purpose of triggering an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that will short circuit all solid state circuitry that is not properly shielded. The EMP effect was first predicted by Enrico Fermi and was recorded in the first Trinity detonation in July 1945. With Starfish Prime, July 1962, the third in the series of tests of Operation Fishbowl, the US detonation of a 1.44 megaton device 250 miles above the mid-Pacific determined the full effects of EMP. Effects of the pulse were felt in Hawaii, just under a thousand miles away. To name a single inventor of EMP is not possible. No one "invented" it. EMP was discovered however by the scientists and engineers of the Manhattan Project. the predictions of Fermi did lead the designers of the test in Alamogordo to properly shield there electronic testing equipment though.
How far can a nuclear bomb travel after being detinated?
The bomb travels effectively nowhere when detonated as the detonation completes in a few microseconds.However if you meant the bomb effects, that can be less than a mile to thousands of miles, depending on:the exact effect (e.g. fireball, thermal flash, blast, fallout, EMP)yieldburst height/depthif burst was in ionosphere (intensifies EMP)if burst was subsurface, material around bursttype of structures in affected areaetc.
Are household electronics such as computers hurt by EMP if not plugged in?
If no currents are flowing (if the device is off) then EMP will have no effect ... unless its so strong that it causes physical destruction of objects - which would include people.
Is it true that if an EMP goes off 19 miles above Kansas that the United States is completely shut down electronically?
No. However, the EMP created by the detonation of a high altitude nuclear weapon (try 100 miles) would damage a huge portion of the electronics in the US. But not all of it. Military electronics are hardened to withstand those effects.
Electromagnetic pulse is one of the effects caused by nuclear attack?
EMP is only a significant effect if the bomb is detonated in the ionosphere.
When was EMP Museum created?
EMP Museum was created in 2000.
What is the population of EMP Merchandising?
The population of EMP Merchandising is 2,007.
When was EMP Merchandising created?
EMP Merchandising was created in 1986.
