This has been a really funny thread. I haven't read every post, but there were plenty of funny posts.
I was thinking, the tin box of the 40, we're riding in a Faraday cage.
 
Would lead sheathing, caps, shields and other fabrications over vulnerable systems block electromagnetic pulses? Is there some other material that would be more effective in keeping the vehicle operational in rescue and /or escape situations? Would a lead lined replacement parts box protect the contents? I would be interested in knowing what evasive methods have been developed by nations and 'organizations' that have already been subject to this weapon in open warfare and secret missions, and what are 'our' protective means from the weapons when used against our military and civilian services by hostiles. This is an interesting subject of a technology that is mostly developed outside of our communication links in intelligence circles and is no doubt classified at a certain point. The question here for our wired friends, is what would work and what precautions can be made with simple and available materials... would lead sheathing work?

Airbornemp19 may be more concerned about what would happen in flight. What does the commercial aviation industry utilize.

Perhaps to the point, what has already been done to some cruisers (and the like), in conflict areas that have already been, or are likely to be attacked by this weaponry?

sooo what about lead?

Lead won't stop a magnetic field from crossing it. The only way to keep something like that from running through your electrical system is to redirect the field lines around what you're trying to protect and and ground it. Looks up a "faraday cage" on our mother google.

In all seriousness the best precaution you can take against this stuff along with any other disaster (earthquake, zombies, hurricane, meteor strike, Mecha-Streisand, ect) is to simply be up to speed with generic disaster preparedness. And turn off the damned "news." It isn't news anymore.
 
However unlikely an EMP may be, this is false unless you're specifically speaking of a nuclear detonation nearby. A high-altitude burst or solar flare would be (directly) harmless to humans, except those with pacemakers, etc.
IMHO an EMP is one of the most likely SHTF scenarios. I doubt it would be man made.

Commercial aviation is well aware. Some flights are routed specifically around certain solar flare activity areas. Boeing continues to build some manually controlled aircraft (with assistance of hydraulics) while Airbus builds mostly vulnerable (but cheaper to build) fly by wire systems. Ultimately EMP wasn't much of a threat in the 70's and 80's but today it could disrupt everything.
 
Please do not refer to CNN as a news channel. Well, unless you consider crap like tmz news then give er.

hate to necro this thread but it's gold.... and with all the theories about nov 4th made it slightly relevant... also The comment that the fj40 are the cockroaches of the automobile apocalypse... GOLD
