will mylar bags protect against EMP for electronics ?

no, you would need a 'Faraday cage' type of environment, usually made of copper wires that will intercept the current and send it to a ground thus bypassing the electronics

not without something wrapping them for protection - the electronics are all exposed, and condensation could easily get to them.

Everything is emp proof if it is in a faraday cage. Otherwise any electronic will be destroyed. (Including this)

yes it will, but you are safer to use a Whole House Surge Protector that connects to your main electric panel in your house, you can buy them a t any box store electric dept it protects clock radios and microwaves

I do not have one of these but I have others. Your focus seems to be whether you can keep ammo as long term storage in these cans to keep out moisture and air. Well, no you can not since they are plastic and air with moisture will get thru the plastic. But your problem is easily solved using Mylar food storage bags and putting in one oxygen absorber that comes with the Mylar. Just insert the ammo, squeeze out most of the air with the absorber inside the bag, and seal the bag with an iron. It should keep for decades; and it would fit inside the can so you could stack them. This is what I am doing now. I do not have one of these but I have others. Your focus seems to be whether you can keep ammo as long term storage in these cans to keep out moisture and air.

There is rubber around the handle, and the magnets are set into plastic. However, I have no knowledge of whether or not this would protect from electrical shock.

I'm not sure, I understand that if you would use a protective electronic bag, that you're electronics come wrapped in this might help. I hope that this would never happen. God Bless Us...

Yes it can, but I suspect the small Gauss Meter (Ghost Detector) cannot register the actual strength of the E/M waves.The ghost detector is sensitive to very light magnetic anomolies and is no substitute for industrial meters.If you only want to know if you microwave is leaking I don't think it will work because the extreme power within themicrowave would cancel it out. Good Luck anyway

Electronics Engineer with experience designing EMP-resistant electronics for the military here. In general, smaller devices are less affected (they act as a smaller antenna), so a micro SD card would be best from that standpoint. Also, anything inside a conductive shield such as the aluminum body of this device will be well protected. Better yet, store it in a metal box (some mints come in nice boxes). That being said, if it is plugged in when the EMP hits it will almost certainly be destroyed, so you should buy two or three and only plug one in at a time. Finally, storing your data on different devices made by different manufacturers is a good idea to avoid a common manufacturing or design defect killing all three at once.

I suppose if you're using a "stand-alone" microwave (not installed in kitchen cabinetry, etc.) a surge protector makes sense. The ISOBAR unit is pretty bullet-proof when it comes to surge/line noise protection, and should work fine to protect your microwave....or anything else.

No, but I'm not sure it's really doing much shielding. I have an EMF detector and it still lights up in the "danger zone" if it's near my phone.

Up to about 5mm of non-conductive material can separate the transmitter and receiver for QI-compliant systems. A thin non-conductive cover will still work. A cover that is metallic will block the electromagnetic field and prevent charging.

Yes, I have been able to detect all of those EMF sources; a microwave produces a very strong EMF, which made me decide to stand at least 5 feet away, while heating something. Another strong finding is my laptop, so I don't keep it on my lap when operating.

No it does not block emf radiation. You can cut it and you can remove it for another laptop. I would not recommend cutting it. The edges will no longer be flat enough for you after cutting it and it will tend to peel from the cut/altered edges.

As far as I know, NooElec provides ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection, so you don't have to worry about frying the electronics if you happen to touch the antenna after walking on a carpet on a dry day. NooElec guarantees their product against this type of damage.

They are not, just like in the episode of "Storage Wars" where Dave takes a torch to the safe he found than ruined it. A strong fire will ruin this safe by burning the electronics but your contents will be fine. It is very strong & heavy. Don't forget a small cup of Damp Rid for the moisture (so your contents stat all safe) that build up in the safe, I.e In Nevada it's very little, a little cup lasted me 15 months! Hope this helped.

The vendor I got mine from was an ESD bag, with some bubble wrap. There are a lot of vendors for this particular item, and it is kind of a roll of the dice with it. Good luck.
