The camcorder

Rating: 9/10 (28 October 2005)

I'm not an electronics expert by any means, but EM (electro magnetic pulses)pulses disrupt electrical flow. Even if a car is "off" it is still on as far as electrical flow is concerned because of the battery still putting a very small amount of power into the clocks and computer. Thats why no cars would start. Also Ray told the mechanic at the garage to change the solenoids, which are coiled electronic conductors. If you had a camcorder, and you did not have batteries in it, and the EM pulses occurred, it would not have any current filtering through it. After the Lightning strikes were over no more EM pulses were happening Simply put the batteries in the camcorder and start recording. Most of the time these batteries are rechargeable so it may be that the person was fortunate to not have the batteries in. This amazes me that so many people could not come up with this simple concept and made such a big deal out of something so simple. Please do comment on my comment if you have a background in electronics.
