Excellent thread, good scope of the field.

great work
keep on tracking and keep us informed
question:
is a battery wrapped into alu folie save for an emp-pulse?
and is a solar-panel useable after the EMP pulse ?
anyone knows?
my intension is that after the EMP I do have 12V power at my home

One thing that confuses me regarding the power grids etc, though is this: surely if we know when a flare /storm is due to hit we can simply turn off the power? If the power is off, there can't be any damage right? Forgive the simplicity of the question and the phrasing but i am a layman regarding these things......

I have a very important and interesting question, Does the change in the Electromagnetism, effects our biological system and our brain. Cause i in have been diagnosed with many symptoms that are connected with Epilepsy and recently i have been feeling some very strange effects that are all related to Migraines symptoms. I think this is very important because the effects from Elenin could have very serous alterations not only to our electronic devices but our bodies too.
OPSEC! OPSEC!

Fascinating.....simply fascinating!
For quite a while, I've been interested in learning about the potential effects of an attack by EMP weapons, and this sounds like it basically amounts to the same effects. I do wonder about what kinds of things one could do to prepare for such an eventuality?
What materials are sheilds normally made of? (as imperfect as they may be) would it be possible to make one at home somehow?? Say, perhaps even for small batteries or appliances?
I wonder, in this scenario you present, what the effects upon the human mind and body could be???
The information to follow on building "Faraday cages" is timely indeed. A single atmospheric nuclear detonation releases enough electromagnetic pulse (EMP) to equal 100,000 volts per square centimeter on the ground. A single detonation 200 to 400 miles over the center of the continental United States would fry every unprotected computer chip from coast to coast, and from the middle of Canada to the middle of Mexico. And we are now into Solar Cycle 23, with solar flares common and expected to continue until the first of next year. CME's are capable of extreme damage to modern computerized equipment! Sure, we have our windup BayGen radio's and spare lap top computers, but unless electronic equipment is protected from an electromagnetic pulse, they will be fried!
The preponderance of evidence suggests that the low-power, low-frequency, electromagnetic radiation associated with household current does not constitute a short or long term health hazard, and whilst some biophysical mechanisms for the promotion of cancer have been proposed (such as the electric fields around power lines attracting aerosol pollutants), none have been substantiated. Nevertheless, some research has implicated exposure in a number of adverse health effects. These include, but are not limited to, childhood leukemia, adult leukemia, neurodegenerative diseases (such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), miscarriage, and clinical depression
Alpha waves are electromagnetic oscillations in the frequency range of 8-12 Hz arising from synchronous and coherent (in phase / constructive) electrical activity of large groups of neurons in the human brain.

I only mean this in jest but there is one answer to all of the questions you asked. The cause for all of these strange events is Chuck Norris. Please don't tear me to shreds to badly, I just thought it would be amusing.

LOL! I sure hope you're right! Of all the 40 years I have been here on Earth, I have never felt as strong as I do about this. I really feel like something is coming that will be unprecedented to anything we have in remotely recorded history. Again, I hope I am wrong and you are right, so we can all live a life without impending fear, celebrate and move on!
