[Diy_efi] DIY-EFI References : EMP hardening

[Don Sauman]

This is a slightly strange thread to be responding to but consider that we are
discussing EMP. Any shielded box will have to be magnetic shielding and this is,
I think, quite simple. Use the same technique used for magnetic screening if
magstripe films, audio and video tapes for archiving; soft iron cans. An earthed
aluminium one won't cut it.

That said, it is hard to imagine an EMP scenario that does leave you with much
more pressing problems that starting the car.

Cheers
Don
