🌩️ Geomagnetic Storm Preparedness Lab

Launch a coronal mass ejection at Earth's magnetosphere and watch how storm strength drives geomagnetically induced currents in the power grid, and how grid protection and home preparedness change the outcome.

A coronal mass ejection races from the Sun toward Earth, compresses the magnetosphere on impact, and drives geomagnetically induced currents through a schematic power grid — showing why grid protection and home preparedness both matter.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Storm intensity (Kp) sets how hard the magnetosphere compresses and how strong the induced currents in transmission lines become; protective relays cut GIC flow into transformers, and a stocked home kit softens the impact of any resulting outage.

🎮 How to Use

Set the Kp storm intensity and CME speed, toggle grid relays and home kit readiness, then press "Launch CME" and watch the transit time, GIC level, transformer risk, and home outage impact update as the ejecta arrives.

💡 Did You Know?

The March 1989 geomagnetic storm collapsed Hydro-Québec's entire grid in about 90 seconds, leaving six million people without power — a single failed transformer can cascade in minutes.
