In this conversation, Rob Benson interviews Dr. Arthur Bradley, an expert in electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) and disaster preparedness. They explore the science behind EMPs, their impact on infrastructure, and the necessary precautions to mitigate these threats. Arthur shares insights from his extensive background in engineering and his experience working with NASA, providing a deep dive into the realities of EMP protection. The discussion covers the phases of an EMP, the historical significance of the Carrington Event, and the potential dangers of weaponized EMPs. They also explore real-world scenarios, such as cyberattacks, financial instability, and the growing role of artificial intelligence in shaping global security. Arthur explains how EMP protection works, highlighting solutions for vehicles, homes, and solar systems. Additionally, they examine the effectiveness of surge protectors, Faraday cages, and distributed protection methods. Arthur offers practical steps individuals can take to secure their electronics, prepare their homes, and assess their personal risk levels. This episode is packed with critical insights on EMP preparedness, infrastructure resilience, and actionable strategies for safeguarding your essential systems against potential threats.
