[narrator] Nuclear
electromagnetic pulses cause damaging current
and voltage surges which interfere
with electronics in susceptible devices. From mobile phones to aircraft to satellites like Telstar 1. Today,
an electromagnetic pulse would decimate the technology
we now depend on. [Nehemiah] EMP was a real
national security threat, back in the 1960s. But today, an EMP spike
would still be devastating

electromagnetic pulses
00:00:03.267 --> 00:00:06.006
cause damaging current
and voltage surges
00:00:06.667 --> 00:00:09.000
which interfere
with electronics
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:10.567
in susceptible devices.
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:13.567
From mobile phones
00:00:13.567 --> 00:00:15.001
to aircraft
00:00:15.001 --> 00:00:18.999
to satellites like Telstar 1.
00:00:19.003 --> 00:00:22.467
Today,
an electromagnetic pulse
00:00:22.467 --> 00:00:25.867
would decimate the technology
we now depend on.
00:00:25.867 --> 00:00:28.467
[Nehemiah] EMP was a real
national security threat,
00:00:28.467 --> 00:00:30.009
back in the 1960s.
00:00:30.966 --> 00:00:34.567
But today, an EMP spike
would still be devastating.
