Is the foil lining adequate for protecting small electronics from electro-magnetic pulse ?

I have seen an EMP Chamber called a red-neck EMP Chamber. It was a metal trash can with lid. I believe that your choice of the bag in question will protect your electronics. I myself thank-you for your idea. You can use a vacuum cleaner to pull air out and seal the bag. You can preserve and EMP protect any electronics. I plan to do what you asked about and store them in my gun safe. I have been told that any metalized covering is adequate as long as it completely surrounds the item. Good luck with your endeavor and God Bless!!!

It may help minimally, but a Faraday Cage is really the only safe protection against an EMP. See engineer775 on YouTube for helpful information regarding emp protection.

This product is designed to protect against transient increases in voltage.

I don't think so,but magnets and flowing electricity do interact. Why not go with Velcro and play it safe.

I am not sure if it would block everything. A Lead liner is the only thing that would do it for sure and I don't know how it would be done safely. Should you try the conductive shielding (ArgenMesh), I would double the layers&gt; This is just my thoughts, I could be wrong!

These are not static safe bags, so sensitive electronic components could be damaged from static electricity buildup. If it originally came in a pink or silvery Mylar bag I wouldn't use these.

@Sherry - I can only speak to having a cell phone and an older iPod near the tiles -- and the tiles did not create any sort of problem with those electronics. Personally I believe that the magnets in this product are not strong enough to cause damage to most modern electrical devices. Plasma, LED, and LCD computers, TVs, phones etc do not suffer from the same issues that the older "big" TVs used to (they are "solid-state"). However, you might want to exercise a bit of caution by not placing the entire box of tiles on top of a computer hard drive. Hard drives can be damaged by magnetic fields.

I would find a tape especially for electrical purposes, because of its aluminum qualities it has the potential to conduct even a small ammount of electricity. The 3m websites also states it's good for shielding but they refer to heat not electricity.one thing you could do is lay electrical tape on top of your electronics and then lay this tape on top .

The "Uline" brand DO have a "metal 'faraday cage' layer", not sure why it's in quotes, according to their site. I decided to go with those personally, as I have gotten good materials from Uline for other projects before.

They aren't anti-static bags if that is what you are asking. But if that is not a concern, I'm sure they would work fine to store electronics.

I purchased this model for protection of the electronic components to my pellet stove because it was one if two tested and recommended by the manufacturer. I would think it would easily handle the computer, just be sure to plug the electronics into the side labeled as battery backup. If there is a power failure, the unit emits a beep, allowing ample time to shut down the electronics while maintaining back up power until you do so.

I've been thinking about my response, and the gentleman that posted contact informatio for Tripp-Lite is the best response. Think I need to do more research myself. I've used these protectors on electronics for fear of utility voltage spikes and close lightning strikes. My kitchen appliances, AC, PC are all protected by them. They are massively constructed. Fortunarely I have a wood furnace with no electronics, but I do keep the refrigerator, microwave, coffe pot and electronic range operating on a genset. Contact Tripp-Lite and also research as much as you can.

The magnetic shielding is only necessary for the old CRT televisions, the old one's with the tubes. Any modern flat screen, lcd or plasma, won't be affected so no worries there.

I use mine to protect my music equipment from generators. I haven't had a problem yet.

this will probably not keep system components or screen out of reach of small hands

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.

in electronics, when a live wire comes loose it can electrify the entire casing. the ground plug for electronics help ground the casing so that it causes a short protecting anyone that touches the case.it could be fairly deadly/dangerous depending on the equipment and power draw, but most of the time it should be fine. I would definitely worry about using ungrounded plugs if you have pets or small children.

The device is unlikely to be damaged. Conductors present in these devices are simply too short to intercept any significant amount of the EM pulse, and thus no spike is generated within them that is sufficient to cause damage.
