What I haven’t heard is people discuss the yield factor, what size blast creating what power output blast in kj, do you know of a study?

Also, 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?

I worked with a couple spooks who did spectrum analysis for gov, had a few talks, they suggested we hide 400 feet under granite...

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.

Yes. An EMP is sensitive only to gamma yield. That means a fission device (kT) and a fission fusion device (MT) will produce about the same E1 (radio) pulse. A 1kT device will produce most of the energy as a 10 or 100 kT fission device.

Again a lot of technical reasons why this is so.
