” an over current that trips a 100,000 volt power line, you said that same airborne electron pulse transfer WONT fry internal electronics of non shielded simple devices? Watches? Clocks? Radios?”
This is actually correct. It may seem counterintuitive. Small devices cannot absorb enough energy to create damaging fields internally.
A power line and a watch or cell phone are very different from an EMP perspective for a number of technical reasons I’d be happy to explain if you are truly interested.
My main thought is over voltage and current in micro fibers of a chip and how some think that wont destroy the circuit inside but freely admit esd from a carpet will...
