Question Nuclear EMF effect on electronics?

Someone asked if my 06 H3 would still run if there were a atomic blast with a Electro Motive Force type influence?

I had no clue. So in a doomsday blast any data on if we run or get stuck in the disaster?

Gurus please answer...

Thanks for looking.

I stopped and asked Elvis this morning. He was on the shoulder of Westbound I94 changing a flat on his Caddy on the way into Detroit. He had Jesus Christ in the passenger seat. They both said BS. So we are good.

unless your H3 is carburated with points ignition and uses vaccume tubes for its electronics or your garage is a lead vault. then you will be affected like the rest of humanity. well unless they keep there vaccume tube powered, carburated, point ignition h3 in a lead faraday vault for such an occation. the bat cave might even due if wayne is not using it that weekend.

What if we wrap the vehicle in two layers of HD Tin Foil?

@Doc Olds Dude, you know that each of the 2 layers need to be wrapped 180 degrees from each other and the tires need the same treatment for it all to work

Looks like the roof rack is exposed which will "foil" the entire effort.

The heat from the blast and fall out would undoubtedly leave a lasting effect. Think Hiroshima times many. SHADOWS.
