wrote Wow, you can really fart on command? At any time? That's talent! No Doubt! ! ! I can belch on command, but not fart. I can prime for a belch, and leave it in, and about 30 minutes later, it will usually emanate from lower climes, but not in a predictable or commandable way! Wow! My hero! ;-) -- Jim in NC |

Dave S writes:
Google EMP, or look it up in the WIKI, and understand what it does to non-protected electrical systems and generating systems then re-visit your answer. Back ups are no good if they all drop offline from the original EMP. A sufficiently large EMP will fry anything. The only questions are how large the EMP can be or would be, and how large an EMP the protected facilities could withstand. Ideally, the latter should be much larger than the former, but I suspect it's the other way around. The problem with EMP, though, is that it fries everything, not just your enemy's stuff. Today, it's kind of hard to do anything with no electrical equipment at all, even on your own side. |

The flyboys have been designing systems for EMP and testing them for ~40 years. They've been doing the same for antimissile systems, but these systems still don't provide adequate protection. |

What does your reply have to do with a civilian 747 suffering from electrical problems resulting from a lightning strike? Lightning strikes produce EMPs. As for the E-4B that plane is throroughly protected from EMP by design. Famous last words. |

EMP is much less likely to affect a system that is not powered up. Why? EMP can vaporize conductors whether they are energized or not. |
