Re: EM pulse



Hugh,
Have you heard about what happens to a CD in a microwave. I
suspect that the same would probably happen to a CD in an EM Pulse. A high
field strengths many of our general rules break down. When I worked a Kitt
Peak, we had a TV camera on the roof of the solar telescope that was
enclosed in a 1/2" thick walled aluminum tube with 3/4" thick end plates.
It took a hit from lightening and the entire insides were fried even though
I would have thought that the enclosure was an almost ideal Faraday shield.
Just some thoughts.

That is true, but the machines could be rebuilt if the
devestation is not worldwide. Data however, if save could
be recovered.
