It doesn't take much to knock out an electrical grid. Too much sunshine can do it. Just one high altitude nuke is enough to knock out the entire US trashing all electronics in the process.
Like a solar wind? If it can affect the shape of the magnetosphere do those magnetic lines compress and get closer to the earth's surface creating all sorts 'problems for metalic things' because they have the same strength overall but then it would be 'confined' and become an influence on which direction metal parts go when let free, let alone frying chips as any moving metal would create it's own electrical charge.
Those single cylinder chain driven Hugo's will climb in value overnight.
I have to assume if you happen to be outside that the light will damage your eyes even though it is at a great distance. Permanent welders flash probably won't be an asset in the survival game.
Perhaps the 'triangles' where compasses have lots of deviation are spots where the solar winds are 'gusting' creating small pockets that are affected more than other on a regular basis, like Bermuda where the magnetic lines are spinning compasses and making high flying aircraft rise in elevation even with the stick in the down position. Talk about a ride, being sucked up into space, how did your day go kind of question. lol
The 'Pyramid Code' is promoting (25 parts on youtube) something along the lines that certain specific spots are 'different' perhaps having the magnetic lines compress and release is something that can be harnessed by a process similar to the one about water raising and lowering being the force that allows the Pyramid to be a power generator.
Is it safe to assume that if the auto industry has wireless communication that can disable a vehicle remotely then the much more important things also have some sort of 'protection built in', that actually works as advertised?
