Be interesting to find out if being over land is any different with more or less conductivity than being over the sea.
I think so too...
Its not discussed in the article or links so I don’t know. I did see a Wikipedia article out there.
Signing off, going out to water the garden!
Yup, those rigid little SiO2 crystals don’t like their equilibrium disturbed, and there’s a lot of them.
Nuclear Bombs Can Cause Geomagnetic Storms
.... but if they KILL ya', who cares.
try to keep up
/8^)
See Post 21. Some General discussions by NASA, USAF, and Government discussions on the subject. (Not specifically about ground conductivity.)
Nukes will cause annihilation so what’s the point?
You and Knarf. See 28.
And they are already being compressed, so even just a slight additional compression would be amplified substantially.
Always wondered if those geomagnetic signatures could be determined or left their mark on magnetic tape. Might help in determing where the tape was last.
Indeed they are but the TVs on the mess decks, chiefs' quarters and wardroom are toast, not to mention personal mp3 players.
This will piss off the crew as much as anything.

You may be on to something but the earth’s signatures need to be mapped by satellite that has the instrumental sensitivity, I doubt that tech exists yet.
It would be a great forensic tool.
It is interesting to me that Enola Gay and Boxcar got away from the blasts at Hiroshima and Nagasaki with no reported circuit failures or vacuum tube damage. The pilots were instructed to 150 degrees from current course and dive to get outside the blast/ air pressure radius.
An interesting factoid !
At 150 degrees, and in a dive, they escaped the pressure blast, and still had the airplane body as a partial shield,
and were still able to continue their flight undamaged.
I'll bet there was a lot of theoretical physics compiled to reach that conclusion.
I think it would have had to be, lots of test launches out of vandenberg, especially in the evening you could see the contrails left from the launch to the west..
Low flying drone with magnetic tape recorder running...picks up ground magnetism (?)with gps location on board drone? Correlate gps with gravity field measurements.
However....someone with a few magnitudes of knowledge greater than me might be able to figure out how to do it.
That newtech oldstyle robber baron org..i.e. Google...maps out street and da’ woild....so maybe task is not that great...
The bomb had a proximity fuse and was supposed to detonate about 90 feet above the ground. Tibbets squadron dropped practice bombs with a small charge. On one run he was piloting, the fuse malfunctioned and the charge detonated immediately after the practice bomb left the aircraft.
I think my source for that information was The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes
Sorry, I was taking issue with the headline for not calling an EMP an EMP.
Hi Pete.
Not to hijack the thread, but has anyone heard from the pot belly dictator from the Mordor in the north?
Seems like the ronery one up and disappeared.
