How are pacemakers programmed?

Pacemakers are programmed externally with a handheld electromagnetic device.


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.


How do you protect electronic devices from a EMP?

you cannot directally protect your device from an electro magnetic pulse however emps can only fire in a straight line so if you swerve your device away from the emp direct line of fire it will miss your device altogether =)

What effect will an EMP atomic detonation have on your pacemakerICD?

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..


Can you tune an EMP device to target a light sources such as fiber optic cables?

EMP devices are not going to affect light fibers. However, those can only be used if there is equipment at the ends that can record and decode the signals. The EMP will cause problems for them, rendering the cables pretty useless.


How many people have a pacemaker in the UK?

Probably about 600,000 pacemakers have been fitted, but many patients with pacemakers will now no longer be alive, so I estimate that there are probably around 250,000-300,000 pacemaker patients in the UK.


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.


What device is needed if you have a heart transplant?

If you have a heart transplant and it is successful, you should be "device free" afterwards. (i.e no pacemakers, ventilators, Berlin hearts etc...) Before transplantation, some patients may require a Berlin heart. Others may require oxygen tanks, pacemakers, or be on ventilators, not to mention standard hospital equipment which they may be attached to from time to time.


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.
