Yeah not a lot of people realize this but nowadays a big enough EMP bomb can do more damage then a nuke. Because yes a nuke can destroy a city and poison an entire state or a small country. BUT An EMP can take out the entire electrical system of entire regions of the world and since we live in the digital era almost every single damn thing we own has electronics that would be fried from an EMP. And when you add in the fact that some nukes actually have EMP capabilities in them it makes it even worse. to put it simply big bomb can kill you instantly.

We would get mad max world without even any of the vehicles! Or at least vehicles being extremely rare.

It is called "hitting someone with some existential angst like an out of control pump truck slamming into a crosswalk full of pedestrians." It isn't pretty, and if done properly, they should have added the "going Grey" filter onto Fenton's boss-level Tom Selleck 'stach.
Fun fact: a lot of modern equipment is shielded against low power emp and even then the most common source of emps is still a nuclear bomb so the emp isn't that big of a problem
I would say that the sun is a more common source. (but well engineered vital system account for them in some shape or form. The problem is with the not well engineered kind)
@@zsomborszarka2616yeah, because if we get nuked, it’s pretty likely there will be bigger issues than the EMP. Like sure, that’s bad, but compared to the whole, yk, russia having enough nukes to dispatch every city over 100k in the USA 17 times over, it doesn’t seem that bad.
Slight correction: many small electronics (including phones, but not cell towers) would be fine not due to shielding but because the circuit runs are too short/small for the EM pulse to act across to induce a large enough current to damage any of the components.
There's something to be said for the reliability, maintainability, and availability of mechanical controls over electronics. An EMP isn't a major concern, though.
Agreed also far less prone to issues Something breaks on the manual Kenworth I run in os/ow work I can fix it on the side of the road and keep her going The touch screen dies the computer recognizes the touch screen is not working and so it shuts down everything else until the touch screen is fixed
@@corwin.macleod Ah, in that case it does seem like a weaker design. And if I know anything about software production chances are the software is proprietary and when the company that owns it vanishes the equipment will become unserviceable, a problem the US military has reportedly faced as well.
You don’t have to worry, the extremely short wire lengths in a pacemaker make them pretty resistant to an EMP. You’d basically have to be struck by lightning to disrupt one, and at that point you’d have bigger problems.
I love when everyone uses the ultra catastrophic event as the excuse, like bro, if that happens - I’m not gonna be hangin around the firehouse waitin for calls 😂
As someone who has a background in tech and is one heart attack away from a pacemaker, the scariest thing to me is an em pulse...not so much because of what the EMP can do...but because one goes off near me...and i dont get to hit the button.
Just read a medical paper the other day about a Saudi kid that had an implanted monitor due to an ongoing cardiac issue. While out playing with friends, he was struck by lightning. The paper included the "strip" of his cardiac monitor, which remained functioning despite exposure to the strong magnetic field and megavoltage, showed initial arrest, then v-fib for a few seconds, then he returned to normal sinus. His two friends did not survive.
@@Chrizesu i work in a supermarket most people still just buy filter coffee. as it is the easiest way to get a pot of coffee. on the camping its just the filter, coffee and water boiled on a stove.
Not to mention there’s only two things that cause an EMP-unless the military contractors have a prototype weapon-a direct lightning strike and a nuclear bomb explosion. And if it’s the latter, it’s not going to be much your problem any more.
Incorrect. You left out coronal mass ejections (CME). There could be even more destructive. They could disable not only all the satellites but also a larger portion of the globe. We’ve had these before and they blew up telegraph lines and started fires. Now with EVERYTHING being electronic, a CME would be debilitating.
Jup, that electronic stuff is nice till it won't work. Fore a show we wanted to let the pump idle in case something goes wrong, the pump wouldn't start because the electric fuelpump died. 4 people 4 corners and walking with the pump 100m, taking the old one out from the trailer fore the kid group and walking back to our truck with the old kinda working pump (sometimes the starter works, sometimes not, then you have to pull start the 4 cylinder engine, sometimes it doesn't suck enough fuel to start so open the hood and pump with the hand til it starts, open the waterline and see where the water comes out, from under the engine, the exhaust or the water outlet)
Also, inside of an EMP, where the fuck are you going to go? The hospital with no lights? no MRIs? no CAT Scans? No electronic monitoring systems? No medical history access?
It's such a real situation, and yet people have no clue how unbelievably devastating an EMP would really be to a modern American city. Also this that rant was amazing 👏
@@rexex345Not mechanical, trucks from the 90's will mostly be fine. Anything that is powered by just gas and batteries will be(mostly) fine. But, if your system needs a computer then you are dead in the water.
Unless you're gripping something that conducts electricity better then your skin, it would have to be a pretty powerful EMP. Unshielded electronics are what would be affected.
I'm an electrical engineer and even my electrical engineer colleagues don't want a cell phone with wheels (EV cars). Why? well just ask yourself, how many times has your cell phone froze this year? (Without an EMP). I'm with Fenton.
To be perfectly honest, only weapon anyone has that can discharge an emp strong enough to do that is a nuke and at that point you have bigger concerns lol
@@SCEVOi think you're getting EMPs and EMP Generators confused. EMPs are just pulses of power that overload circits. Nukes can create a EMP as they go off, especially if they explode in the upper atmosphere (no ground to insulate it). The military does have weaponized EMPs like you said though, they're pretty nice since they are more directed so you can dial in a really strong pulse into a distinct area so it only hits your enemies. All that said every device has some level of shielding due to the way electricity works and important devices can get more as needed with its respective drawbacks. lastly you can make a personal emp generator out of a modified stun gun to really see in action how there are different strengths of EMPs
@@SCEVO nukes generate an EMP upon detonation, especially higher up in the atmosphere they are, there are military EMP weapons but I doubt anyone would use those on non military targets short of a terrorist attack, but most terrorist try to get as many kills with their attacks as possible, not really looking to disable shit like an ambulance or firetruck, be more effective to take out a sam site or disable some tanks or scramble our guiding systems for stuff like a Javelin or loiter munitions like drones than to take out emergency service vehicles
@@thelostpsychosis yeah they generate an EMP when they explode but the EMP is probably the last thing that's important if we talk about a nuke when the new kids everything going to be exploded The EMP ain't going to be that important
my spidey senses say somebody is actively being prevented from goin’ senile pre retirement. hang in there Fenton!! Jason, bringin’ heavy clutch with unprecedented torque🫡
It's actually been tested most cars will survive an EMP while off and the amount of total failures in vehicles while still running was like 1/14 that got completely fried. The other 13 cars were turned off and started back up, some computers might not have worked, speedometers might not have displayed if they were digital but they worked. Most cars actually make decent faraday cages and are heavily shielded from EMF, as they produce A SHITTON of EMF. Not joking swap your spark plug leads for coat hangers and it will drive but your radio and the radios of other cars for blocks even cellphones won't be working. Yes for $10 at Walmart you can turn your car into a radio Jammer
@@Koli5298 what, i know the science behind it. Spark plug leads have a single wire a ton of insulation and a metallic foil shielding layer entirely because of the possible hazard. Hell it could kill someone with a pace maker driving past them and that's a murder charge.
As a 'regular everyday normal guy' I don't like the idea of added complexity. All those same controls that were previously operated manually still exist, but now with a laundry list of electronics between you and them.... So you just slide to the left right?
You have a pace maker and an EMP isnt yoyr biggest fear? Its an invisible wave of your heart stopping nothing force that yoy wont notice till your dead
Seriously though, I don't understand how you guys don't already have your own TV show and / or your own movie? This needs to become a reality. Someone get Netflix on the phone.
Seriously, having to explain to someone that if this recent aurora was twice as strong, we’d most likely be without ALL technology including almost every single car and would probably get electrocuted if we touched the vent hood in our own homes People truly have no idea how fragile we’ve made our infrastructure to any electromagnetic or radiation interference
It’s so surprising when you hear some doomsday prepper talking about surviving an EMP, when they literally have several parts of their plan that would be derailed because it has a microchip in it that they did not count on.
"collAPSIng!!!" (epic delivery, on everything. worth the rewatch just for the facial expressions. seriously was flaying him with that voice yet 😃 showing the equip fails!)
Lol reminds me of when a buddy of mine spent a crap load of money attempting to turn his garage into a faraday cage to protect his car and motorcycle in case of such an emergency. I walked into his garage, pulled my phone out, and called him. As soon as his phone started ringing, you could see all the color just leave his face 😂😂 the best part was, his car was a early 60s Ford and his bike was a '67 Triumph Bonneville, so all he would have needed was a couple of batteries.

This is why we don't give Jason too much coffee w/ 5 cube sugar, while discussing
I'm an electrical engineer and even my electrical engineer colleagues don't want a cell phone with wheels (EV cars). Why? well just ask yourself, how many times has your cell phone froze this year? (Without an EMP). I'm with Fenton.
Suddenly, my tin foil hat doesn't feel as safe as it used to...
😅😅
You need a full Faraday suit and helmet... enjoy summer Mr. TinMan
Not to mention the 911 system and about every phone in modern use.
He isn’t wrong, physical/manual backup for life threatening systems is important (when possible).
“Including your pacemaker” 😂
Had to mention it 😆
To be perfectly honest, only weapon anyone has that can discharge an emp strong enough to do that is a nuke and at that point you have bigger concerns lol
Transformer blowing up can cause a short range emp.
An EMP and a nuke are completely different things we have military EMPs that aren't nukes because nukes go boom EMPs go ⚡⚡⚡ and things stop
@@SCEVOi think you're getting EMPs and EMP Generators confused. EMPs are just pulses of power that overload circits. Nukes can create a EMP as they go off, especially if they explode in the upper atmosphere (no ground to insulate it). The military does have weaponized EMPs like you said though, they're pretty nice since they are more directed so you can dial in a really strong pulse into a distinct area so it only hits your enemies.
All that said every device has some level of shielding due to the way electricity works and important devices can get more as needed with its respective drawbacks. lastly you can make a personal emp generator out of a modified stun gun to really see in action how there are different strengths of EMPs
@@SCEVO nukes generate an EMP upon detonation, especially higher up in the atmosphere they are, there are military EMP weapons but I doubt anyone would use those on non military targets short of a terrorist attack, but most terrorist try to get as many kills with their attacks as possible, not really looking to disable shit like an ambulance or firetruck, be more effective to take out a sam site or disable some tanks or scramble our guiding systems for stuff like a Javelin or loiter munitions like drones than to take out emergency service vehicles
@@thelostpsychosis yeah they generate an EMP when they explode but the EMP is probably the last thing that's important if we talk about a nuke when the new kids everything going to be exploded The EMP ain't going to be that important
Oh no all electrical things don't work 😮
This old ah firefighter with a 1800's fire engine be like: "Hop on boys"
my spidey senses say somebody is actively being prevented from goin’ senile pre retirement. hang in there Fenton!! Jason, bringin’ heavy clutch with unprecedented torque🫡
Sounds like he could be talking to my granddad
I don't think an EMP is the problem here. I'm much more worried about a touchscreen malfunction.
Also, if the EMP was released by an atomic explosion... Well... Your problems either ended forever or got way worse than they could ever be before...
It will take more than a little water to deal with that.
It's actually been tested most cars will survive an EMP while off and the amount of total failures in vehicles while still running was like 1/14 that got completely fried. The other 13 cars were turned off and started back up, some computers might not have worked, speedometers might not have displayed if they were digital but they worked. Most cars actually make decent faraday cages and are heavily shielded from EMF, as they produce A SHITTON of EMF. Not joking swap your spark plug leads for coat hangers and it will drive but your radio and the radios of other cars for blocks even cellphones won't be working. Yes for $10 at Walmart you can turn your car into a radio Jammer
You know, that sounds like a great idea, but I don't think I will
Someone call the FBI. 😈
@@Koli5298 what, i know the science behind it. Spark plug leads have a single wire a ton of insulation and a metallic foil shielding layer entirely because of the possible hazard. Hell it could kill someone with a pace maker driving past them and that's a murder charge.
As a 'regular everyday normal guy' I don't like the idea of added complexity. All those same controls that were previously operated manually still exist, but now with a laundry list of electronics between you and them....
So you just slide to the left right?
Last time i saw red like that, i was buying tomatoes... similar shape too, just less... angry. 😂😂🤣
You have a pace maker and an EMP isnt yoyr biggest fear? Its an invisible wave of your heart stopping nothing force that yoy wont notice till your dead
Seriously though, I don't understand how you guys don't already have your own TV show and / or your own movie? This needs to become a reality. Someone get Netflix on the phone.
Yeah, but you forget that the MOST IMPORTANT THING OF ALL WILL BE LOST: *_The Coffee Machine._*
Noo😭
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
He also scares me with that big vein on his neck.
🤣🤣
Seriously, having to explain to someone that if this recent aurora was twice as strong, we’d most likely be without ALL technology including almost every single car and would probably get electrocuted if we touched the vent hood in our own homes
People truly have no idea how fragile we’ve made our infrastructure to any electromagnetic or radiation interference
Is his mustache real I gotta know if so it’s glorious
I came to ask the same thing! 😂
No you can see him on his TH-cam Chanel without it
He got real hip real quick😂
It is hip to be square 😂
The moment he said "you know what else" I immediately went "this guy has a pacemaker doesn't he?
He just wanted to be prepared...
It’s so surprising when you hear some doomsday prepper talking about surviving an EMP, when they literally have several parts of their plan that would be derailed because it has a microchip in it that they did not count on.
As soon as he mentioned the EMP I was thinking “oh he’s about to be like ‘you should be more worried about your pacemaker”
I love how 90% of the comments at time of writing are completely missing the point of this video
Yup 😆
I swear the truckie mind is funny and fenton is the representative and his moustache is the main attraction hes just a pedestal 😂😂😂😂
😅🤭😁
@@FireDeptCoffee I'm not wrong Fenton is funny and his moustache makes a great point but Jason with the logic just makes this even funnier :)
"collAPSIng!!!"
(epic delivery, on everything. worth the rewatch just for the facial expressions. seriously was flaying him with that voice yet 😃 showing the equip fails!)
For non actor's, the team does really well.
Thank you!
The stuttering at the end was a great touch lol
🤣🤣
Not to mention, EMP as a stand-alone weapon is completely inefficient and really not likely to be a thing.
“The engine!”
Steam powered pumpers: “aye we heard you guys had a problem with EMP’s, don’t worry kiddos, the professionals are here”
Lol reminds me of when a buddy of mine spent a crap load of money attempting to turn his garage into a faraday cage to protect his car and motorcycle in case of such an emergency. I walked into his garage, pulled my phone out, and called him. As soon as his phone started ringing, you could see all the color just leave his face 😂😂 the best part was, his car was a early 60s Ford and his bike was a '67 Triumph Bonneville, so all he would have needed was a couple of batteries. Lol the poor guy's a few bars short of a full battery himself 😂
So good also kinda crazy that fire departement randomly got so many talented comedians
That mustache is definitely fake!
Theres noooo waayyy its real...
That's exactly what I was about to say. If it is real, that is one of the most immaculate mustaches I've ever seen
Wow, Jason. Is there something you want to share with the class?
There was a giant solar storm last week, we dodged a 10% kill shot.
We should have parried it, but we're casuals.
@@RuinedItAgaindang i missed the parry window, ill pay attention next time
@@RuinedItAgain I'm infamous for blocking such hits with my chin.
Thankfully, my head is harder than granite.
Me trying to convince my mom to get smart shit
Mom: what about an emp
Me: there's a video on this
Is that mustache fake or real?
Just touch it
It's as real as you want it to be. 🤭
I think I just found a new favorite one of these
🥰🥰
I mean......old school vehicles would be unaffected
Fenton needs to name his mustache 😅
Lol!🤣
