Reply to: Your car will probably be fine after an EMP Posted March 5, 2023

So Jon I had a thought. Like the cautionary at the gas station telling you to discharge the static from yourself before pumping gas to in order to avoid a spark and ignition. Static charge is around us 24/7 like mini lightning. Like mini emps. I remember in the 60s and 70s commercial vehicles like buses had some sort of dangly on the back of their rigs touching the ground in order to discharge any Sparks that may be admitted during fill up to avoid explosion. So here’s my aha moment, an extremely cheap if it would work. Could you use the roof rack or any other attachment on your rooftop of your car truck etc as a collection point for the EMP and route that collector down to ground literally the asphalt in order to discharge that EMP? I know some people that had access to lead paint would paint their rooftops of their trucks buses RVs etc when crossing border crossings because of the high amplitude x-ray machines they use at border crossings to avoid getting fried. Let me know your thoughts on this and the possibility of it working because you could use rolls of tin foil or some alloy cheaply and avoid these costly scams and snake oil salesman selling you thousands of dollars of equipment that may or may not work. And thank you for your input and enlightenment
