IndyArms 10,186 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 my microwave was flashing but none of the other electronic devices were... Guess that was about the extent of all that... Glad I was prepared!!! I reset the clock to 2:01. and went about my business! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spacehog 2,218 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Another dire warning from the same people (scientists) that bring you...OMG... global warming! If they can accurately predict what will happen from an event that takes less than 24 hours to impact the earth, I am pretty confident that they are complete imbeciles about the next 20 years. Again the earth has proven that it is wonderfully made, and naturally compensates to remain in equilibrium. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sobrenegade 795 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Just read it in the Topeka Capital Urinal and then it came on the news as well, the ozone layer is starting to repair itself. How in hell did we not fuck that thing up right the first time? After a few hundred years of industrial age, more than that in global conflicts and the recent twenty years of natural and unnatural wild and forest fires, why don't we look like walking pieces of bacon? Surely our world science community wouldn't have led us astray with false data. I've got it, Mother Nature has a giant bottle of Natural Super Glue. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

termite 463 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Yep, I asked the wife to CALL our pump supplier and get a quote for price and delivery on some parts, damn if she didn't go straight to the computer and send an e-mail. First words out of my mouth was "why in the hell can't you call like I asked, if I wanted an answer in 3 days, I'd say e-mail, and I can't wait for an EMP to make people start listening to what other people actually say". Was at a customers on Tuesday and a guy asks me if I knew how to shut most people up, I asked how, he said "cut their damn thumbs off". He's right Ya know, sad but true. It's gonna be fun if it does happen, even for a few days, without their toys, people will freak out, big time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SHOTGUN MESIAH 855 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Here is my back up emergency power. Used an old all aluminum cooler from the late 60's. Lined the bottom and sides with 3" hard foam insulation to isolate the GZ inverter power pack and extra battery. I also keep my laptop in there as well. Don't know if this would help protect if a strong EMP occurred but at least I tried. I think being that it is all bare unpainted aluminum and the fact I removed the lid rubber seal to where the aluminum lid makes a solid contact seal with the body increases protection. This is a small portable system with quite a bit of power. All I need now is a means to shield my soalr panels next.

DLT 1,646 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Now they are saying it will be here late Friday night or Saturday morning. So, if this turns out to be the last day of the board because a CME sets us back to the 1800's, I just have one request: Big John must post an end of the world boobies/hot chicks thread and entertain on an hourly basis until the lights go out. All in favor say/post "I". 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zaxon_182 44 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Check Space Weather. They're usually pretty good at predicting strength and intensities of flares. I kinda wish I was back home (Homer, Alaska), the Aurora is gonna be awesome (Geophysical Institute in Fairbanks prediction). Work hard, shoot guns, and trust in physics.

This is a small portable system with quite a bit of power. All I need now is a means to shield my soalr panels next. Nice use of materials! That's overkill but will protect whatever you put in it. Make sure to ground the cooler for it to work. If you want to protect your panels from solar flares, emp and microwave blasts, you can use very expensive copper mesh or find an old window screen at the junk yard and wrap the panels with the material. Make sure your panels are grounded and that the mesh is also grounded. Solder the lid to the main body with a auto battery connection for a harley. It's a flat grounding wire that is like rope. Napa has that stuff. Then, you need to attach a ground to a copper or aluminum zinc stake. Grounding is the key. Lightning and Chinese proof. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SHOTGUN MESIAH 855 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Thanks , thats some good info. Isn't my cooler grounded just by sitting on the ground? There are no rubber feet or anything in-between the cooler and the ground. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
