ARMAGEDDON NOW , SOLAR FLARES , GEOMAGNETIC STORMS , POWER GRID FAILURE IN INDIA - CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL
You may find this bizarre- but I went to bed on Sunday night expecting this on Tuesday, somewhere on this planet in high North latitude ..
Few months ago my son in USA wanted to travel to Alaska to see the colourful borealis sky lights and auroras .
His enthusiasm waned when I told him that the Alaskan auroras are man made by HAARP.
When CMEs hit the earth’s magnetic field , you can see the spectacular northern and southern lights.Very strong geomagnetic storms can generate auroras at lower-than-normal latitudes. X-class solar flares are the strongest type of solar eruptions, with M-class flares ranking as medium-strength, and C-class flares representing the weakest type.
India must invest in research into GIC risk and in developing mitigation strategies. Natinal level drills must be conducted with the PM himself in charge, to give authenticity. Our enemies can destroy India , if we are NOT careful in this regard.
We must have backup generators, inside EMP-hardened steel containers to be available for quick change-out in the event that any of these items were damaged by an EMP or GMD.
The vulnerability of both the grid and modern microelectronics to debilitating damage from severe electromagnetic disturbances and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) resulting from the deliberate detonation of a nuclear device at a high altitude above the earth, must be taken most seriously..
Grace and peace!

Two years back I had frantic queries on my blog site asking if there would be a Apocalypse on Dec 21st 2012, as per Maya Danava's calendar. The open pointed out tongue points to this date after a 26,000 precession cycle. I was quick to state that it is just a date for up gradation of our junk DNA.
I noticed I was alone on the Internet when I stated this-- what with dozens of scares including Planet X and Niburu, crashing down on earth.
Since yesterday I have a strong feeling, that if we citizens of planet earth are NOT careful, we can indeed have a apocalypse like predicted on the Mayan calendar. It is about power grid failures and the domino effects--i will talk about this later on in this post. The power grid failure is the small spark which will cause terribly destructive after effects.
I had also said in several of my posts that World war 3 will be fought by Scalar wave howitzers and EMPs. Geomagnetic storm effetcs are like severe EMPs.
Yesterday 1/3 or India had power grid failure and 620 million people were without power. If I were a terrorist, I could have destroyed that part of India yesterday.
It was amusing to watch TV anchor Arnab Goswami --wannabe Wolf Blitzer--nay- Edison, of Times Now TV, with a huge graph in front of him, playing blame game.
It was more amusing to watch our Power Minister, displaying his lack of accountability. He can afford to be so, he is on a good wicket with the ruling powers.
Most of Pakistan, along with northern India, also suffered long blackouts. In some cities, mobs burnt tyres and suspended traffic. TV footage showed angry protesters chanting slogans against the authorities for failure to ensure smooth power supply during the holy Muslim month of Ramazan. I am sure UP CM Akhilesh did NOT steal power from Pakistan.
Blackout trips do NOT happen by sustained heavy drawing-- but but sudden surge.
Given that rains had arrived, temperature was down in north India so there was less requirement for a power overdraw. For example, the temperature in New Delhi on 31st July was 25.4 degrees Celsius, more than ten degrees below what it had been during the peak of the summer heat. If electricity overuse was the sole cause of the power failure, because of too many people drawing power, this would have happened before now. No working ATMs made life for the common man miserable. People in high rises had no water to wash their backsides or flush the toilet.

On the day of the collapse, Power Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde stated that the exact cause of the failure was unknown, but that at the time of the failure, electricity use was "above normal".
He speculated that some states had attempted to draw more power than permitted due to the higher consumption. Spokesperson for Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL) and the Northern Regional Load Dispatch Centre (NRLDC) stated that Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana were the states responsible for the overdraw
You may find this bizarre- but I went to bed on Sunday night expecting this on Tuesday, somewhere on this planet in high North latitude ..
On July28th 2012 , a medium-size M6-class solar flare erupted from the sun, hurling a cloud of plasma and charged particles toward Earth, to impact the magnetic field of planet earth , by a glancing blow on July 31st 2012—Tuesday.
We must expect more powerful and fast-moving CMEs to hit the earth head on by end 2012, which will trigger strong geomagnetic storms that cause radio blackouts and disrupt power grids and other communications infrastructure. These clouds of charged particles can also knock out satellites as they travel through space.
Already HAARP systems can form a
curvature lens on the ionosphere , to
beam a geomagnetic storm at a place
of their choosing- at low latitudes.
I will NOT be surprised if this was indeed the case when our power grids got knocked out. Believe me when I say, this is NOT pseudo science or a conspiracy theory.

The sun's activity waxes and wanes on a roughly 11-year cycle.
Our sun has just woken up like Kumbakharna from a deep slumber, and is approaching a period of high turbulence, referred to as the solar maximum. Power grids are more vulnerable than ever due to their interconnectedness. When there is high solar activity, it is foolishness to deliver cheap electricity from a far away grid. The power ministry must give orders regarding this.
In recent years, utilities have joined grids together to allow long-distance transmission of to areas of sudden high demand.It makes good economic sense—but pathetic geomagnetic sense. Interconnectedness makes the system susceptible to wide-ranging , domino effects and “cascade failures.”
Super genius Nikola Tesla demonstrated the meaning of ground currents when he used to stick bulbs into the soil and cause them to glow.
Ground currents and induced voltage surges can damage to modern power grid transformers , and knock off power. A geomagnetic storm is a temporary disturbance of the Earth's magnetosphere caused by a disturbance in the interplanetary medium.. A geomagnetic storm is caused by a solar wind shock wave and/or cloud of magnetic field which interacts with the Earth's magnetic field.
The increase in the solar wind pressure initially compresses the magnetosphere and the solar wind's magnetic field will interact with the Earth’s magnetic field and transfer an increased amount of energy into the magnetosphere. Both interactions cause an increase in movement of plasma through the magnetosphere (driven by increased electric fields inside the magnetosphere) and an increase in electric current in the magnetosphere and ionosphere.
The loss of electricity for a few days would ripple across the social infrastructure with water deprivation, perished food and medications , loss of ventilation, communications, fuel supply, transportation, GPS, Internet, banking etc.
Geomagnetic storms and increased solar ultraviolet emission heat Earth's upper atmosphere, causing it to expand. The heated air rises, and the density at the orbit of satellites up to about 1,000 km increases significantly. This results in increased drag on satellites in space, causing them to slow and change orbit slightly. The upper atmosphere can even be pushed up into a convex lens by man made HAARP. Unless Low Earth Orbit satellites are routinely boosted to higher orbits, they slowly fall, and eventually burn up in Earth's atmosphere.
Energetic solar particles can cause physical damage to microchips and can change software commands in satellite-borne computers. During geomagnetic storms, the number and energy of electrons and ions increase. When a satellite travels through this energized environment, the charged particles striking the spacecraft cause different portions of the spacecraft to be differentially charged. Eventually, electrical discharges can arc across spacecraft components, disabling them.
You get 3 days warning before a geomagnetic storm. Power companies can minimize damage to power transmission equipment, by momentarily disconnecting transformers or by inducing temporary blackouts. Preventative measures also exist, including preventing the inflow of GICs into the grid through the neutral-to-ground connection. The electrical engineers employed in India on national power grids must be proficient in this science.
A time-varying magnetic field external to the Earth induces telluric currents -- electric currents in the conducting ground. These currents create a secondary (internal) magnetic field. As a consequence of Faraday's law of induction, an electric field at the surface of the Earth is induced associated with time variations of the magnetic field. The surface electric field causes electrical currents, known as geomagnetically induced currents (GIC), of hundreds of amperes to flow in any conducting structure, for example, a power or pipeline grid grounded in the Earth. This electric field, measured in V/km, acts as a voltage source across networks.
India must invest in research into GIC risk and in developing mitigation strategies. Natinal level drills must be conducted with the PM himself in charge, to give authenticity. Our enemies can destroy India , if we are NOT careful in this regard.
GIC risk can, be reduced by capacitor blocking systems, maintenance schedule changes, additional on-demand generating capacity, and more easily, load shedding.
A coronal mass ejection (CME) is an ejection of material from the solar corona. They occur when a large bubble of plasma escapes the sun's gravitational field and travels through space to the earth at high speeds over the course of several hours.
The ejected plasma consists primarily of electrons and protons (in addition to small quantities of heavier elements such as helium, oxygen, and iron), plus the en training coronal magnetic field.
Plasma is essentially electrically charged (ionized) gas, consisting of free-moving electrons and ions (atoms that have lost electrons). On earth, we are familiar with the ordinary states of matter: solids, liquids and gases. But in the universe at large, plasma is by far the most common form. Plasma in the stars and the space between them makes up 99 percent of the visible universe.
Magnetic storms usually last a little more than a day , by the effects can be for years. Fiber optic lines and underground cables are not affected.
Power companies, which operate long open transmission lines (many kilometers in length), are subject to damage by this effect. India must NOT invest in foreign power companies like Enron, running the show in India, for our own security.
By receiving geomagnetic storm alerts and warnings . from our Space Weather prediction Center , power companies must minimize damage to power transmission equipment, by momentarily disconnecting transformers or by inducing temporary blackouts.
Space weather stations like ACE provide an advance warning (about one hour) of geomagnetic storms that can overload power grids, disrupt communications on Earth.
This is more than enough time to shunt loads, or shut different parts of the grid. It’s a difficult call to make, and false alarms piss our Janata.
Better to be safe than to be sorry, unless you have dozens of spare EHV transformers , at suitable locations. EHV transformers are custom designed for each installation and are made to order, weighing as much as 300 tons each, and must be in stock. The PM and Defence Minister must be involved in this inventory. India must make our own EHV transformers.
Long term preventative measures must be charted to protect against Coronal Mass Ejections, ( and also military attack EMPs ) including digging transmission cables into the soil, placing lightning rods on transmission wires, reducing the operating voltages of transformers, and using cables that are shorter than 10 kilometers. It might also be possible to develop and deploy large resistors that would add another level of protection to large transformers.
Society's dependence on gadgets leaves our way of life vulnerable to space weather.
Till India has the technology to predict such solar storm, it is better to shield the electrical grid by shutting off power to some of the vulnerable areas having nuclear plants ,military communication units, until the danger passes.
If the nuclear facility’s backup generators either fail to start, or run out of fuel, the reactor cores will start to melt down. After a few days without electricity to run the cooling system pumps, the water bath covering the spent fuel rods stored in “spent fuel ponds” will boil away, allowing the stored fuel rods to melt down and burn . Since the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) currently mandates that only one week’s supply of backup generator fuel needs to be stored at each reactor site, it is likely that after we witness the spectacular night-time celestial light show from the next extreme GMD we will have about one week in which to prepare ourselves for Armageddon.
India must start making Thorium Nuclear plants to reduce this danger. I am NOT being ahead of our times here.
Since India has the worlds best Thorium reserves, theWest is tripping over each other to offer us OBSELETE Uranium powered nuclear reactors. Thorium contains 150 times more energy than Uranium and is the MOST efficient combustible. Since Thorium is only slightly radio active , it is clean with no burden of nuclear waste disposal. . A thorium-powered reactor is inherently safe. It doesn't run the risk of "meltdown" or explosion nor can even a dirty bomb be created. Its nuclear reaction simply stops when its neutron exciter is turned off.
Think of an EMP as a super-powerful radio wave capable of inducing damaging voltage spikes in electrical wires and electronic devices across vast geographical areas. What is generally referred to as an EMP strike is the deliberate detonation of a nuclear device at a high altitude, roughly defined as somewhere 40 and 400 kilometers above the surface of the earth. Nuclear detonations of this type have the potential to cause serious damage to electronics and electrical power grids along their line of sight, covering huge distances on the order of a circular area 2,500 kilometers in diameter.The geomagnetic effects of extreme solar storms are sometimes also described as a “natural EMP”.
An EMP attack would also cause widespread grid collapse. A powerful EMP from a sub-orbital nuclear detonation would cause extreme electromagnetic effects, starting with an initial short duration “speed of light” pulse, referred to as an “E1” effect, followed by a middle duration pulse called an “E2” effect, which is followed by a longer duration disturbance known as an “E3” effect. The “E1” effect lasts on the order of a few nanoseconds.The intermediate “E2” effects last a fraction of a second
In the case of a nuclear induced EMP, its E3 effect starts after about a half second and may continue for several minutes. The E3 effect can be thought of as a “long slow burn”, and electromagnetically it is quite similar to the effects from an extreme GMD. The main difference between the E3 from an EMP and what occurs during an extreme GMD is that the EMP effect may continue for a number of minutes, whereas the extreme GMD may continue for a number of hours or days. However, the magnitude of the induced magnetic field strengths from an EMP attack and an extreme GMD are about the same, with similar potential for causing severe damage to EHV transformers across the affected areas.
Inside the affected area, an EMP’s E3 effect would cause a similar degree of damage to the EHV transformers as that from an extreme GMD, but the E1 and E2 effects would cause far greater damage to electronic control systems than that from a GMD of similar intensity. Contrary to popular opinion, most personal electronic devices would probably survive with little or no damage, especially if they were not turned on at the moment of EMP, as would most automobiles.
However, most complex electronic systems that contained digital microchips in combination with long runs of Ethernet cables (or other interconnecting cabling) which act like antennas for receiving EMP induced voltage spikes, would experience nearly 100% failure.
A “successful” EMP attack launched would result in the immediate collapse of the power grid, and crash the stock market.
High-voltage transformers must be directly connected to the ground to neutralize power surges from lightning strikes and other transient phenomen.
Modern digital automatic electronic control systems are highly susceptible to damage from EMP. These systems include programmable logic controllers (PLC), digital control systems (DCS), and supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA), all of which are absolutely critical for running factories, refineries, power plants, nuclear reactors, sewage plants, etc., as well as for diagnosing problems. This is why on our ships we do NOT do any welding without a return current cable. It is prevent corruption damage to PLCs and microprocessors -- NOT to prevent fires .
GPS devices, which we totally depend on provide navigational help , and missile launch guidances, also serve as time synchronizers for computer networks and electronic equipment. Not preparing for this scenario can result in such terrible suffering, death, and environmental destruction on a scale not seen since the extinction of the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago.
We cant have jokers blaming each other on National TV.
Better heat resistant non-boiling transformer oils must be invented .
India must have a station like the Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado, to give 15 to 45 minutes warning of any solar onslaught. It must be remembered that when the tsunami engulfed eastern India a decade ago, the diabolical West just kept quiet.
India must NOT be blinded when our future Gagan GPS satellites get knocked out by solar flares. Land and sea based HF towers must be rigged. In 2003, a magnetic storm triggered malfunctions in 47 satellites.
Backup diesel generators for the military , law enforcement and other critical facilities would be vulnerable if they depend on diesel or natural gas, which also rely on "non gravity tanks " and pipelines for resupply.
Grace and peace!
