For instance, what field strength at the surface do the EMP models predict? Pushing enough magnetic or electrostatic field through a metal surface, like the hood of a car, in order to generate an internal current in a semiconductor installed deep in the car sufficient to damage it is very hard.
And its pretty hard for me to imagine generating by capacitive or inductive coupling into a power line from 500 miles away as much energy as a single bolt of lightning puts into a power line.
I agree with your the thrust of your comments. I would like to see studies of the theoretics effects of magnetic field and atmospheric lensing on said emp ion effects. The Earth is curved and said emp devices would have to be placed just right to have effects on the earth as fear mongers declare. I think you would have to explode several devices equidistant to completely knock out the infrastructure yet the earth’s magnetic fields, mountains and surface features will still make the process incomplete.
Now EMP’s exploded several miles over key cities and installations could have devestating effects as preludes to military actions and they even need not be nuclear based.
