I found this site claiming with this gadget it will keep your home safe. Someone with more knowledge about emp might be able to give a review on if it will work?

Would ferrite help with a CME, power surge, or lightning? These are far more likely, especially power surges.Ferrite rings will not stop or even slow down the E1 pulse. The air itself carries the charge so there is nothing between your electronics and the high voltage of the pulse.
never seen the point of protecting gadgets in the home when the public stuff that makes then work wont function after an EMP.
seems a lot of work for nothing.

Thanks for this, ShepDog. I was just looking at same product today (EMP Shield - Home EMP & Lightning Protection + CME Defense (SP-120-240-W) | EMP Shield). Can you recommend a book or manual that gives us the goods on how to prepare for an EMP even on the scale of which you describe (E1 pulse)?Those gadgets will work fine for lightning strikes and solar emps - which are unlikely to affect your home and the stuff in it. If you live in an area that gets a lot of lightning it may be worthwhile but if you want protection against a solar event just hit the breakers when it is due. You get a minimum of 24 hours notice of a solar event and you only need protection from the very worst of them. At that point you are unlikely to have any power for at least a few weeks following but your appliances will be good.
The gadgets are worthless in an HEMP event. The E1 pulse will disable them just as quickly as it will fry your radio, TV, and computer. There is no electronic switch fast enough to prevent damage from the E1 pulse of a high altitude nuclear EMP. They fry without stopping anything because the E1 pulse is the ionized atmosphere. It doesn't need wires and metal housings, common Faraday cages, doesn't even slow them down. Capacitive reactance shielding and wave guide structures are the only way to slow the pulse down to the point it dissipates before harming the electronics. Waveguides have to be engineered for the specific cavity they protect and cannot be retrofitted to an existing component. The capacitive reactance is not only the best shielding it is the only kind you can do yourself.
Sorry my dear brother but that does not compute for me.The only manuals with solid ideas on how to protect yourself and property from HEMP is classified top secret. The military doesn't want our adversaries to know how we protect our equipment because they could get around it.
If you go back to electronics and study DC circuits and capacitive reactance you will find the best "filter" or defense against a .5 Nano-Second rise time to 50,000 volts is layered capacitors 3 at least inside one another with your device inside. The attached PDF gives detailed instructions.
I have one of those and have not had any strange electronic failures since it was installed.I found this site claiming with this gadget it will keep your home safe. Someone with more knowledge about emp might be able to give a review on if it will work?

Sorry my dear brother but that does not compute for me.
It ignores the Farady principles that the electrical field inside a conductor is zero
Re capacitors in series...
The capacitance of caps in series is...
The reciprical or the sum or the recipricals of the capacitor.
The answer is always smalled than the smallest cap.

I was considering mounting our 8 panels on the roof but in consideration of the heat up there I decided to go with a ground mounted frame for the array, it's also mostly out of view of the road going by our place and the good thing is, the panels stay pretty cool. A few years before I built the solar array frame I researched how low the winter sun would cast a shadow from our home just to make sure the shadow would not cover any part of the panels and it worked out great. Even though we have a tall big leaf maple that shades the array, I have checked the charge voltages and that shade has made no difference, the array voltage stays well above 70 volts.we have commercial solar farms where the panels are ground mounted but the residential ones are on roofs to catch the sun.
Thank you, SheepDog, for the PDF. So, it seems that these two items are good only for blocking RIFD signals and not EMPs, if I understand what you are saying.The only manuals with solid ideas on how to protect yourself and property from HEMP is classified top secret. The military doesn't want our adversaries to know how we protect our equipment because they could get around it.
