That would make sense, you likely are right about that. As long as there is no silicon device involved, I would think it would work. But on the other hand, I might have been told that electron flow would be disturbed, so if there are NO electrons able to flow in any way, then only the Diesel engine would run since there couldn't be any spark made nor any electricity required. But you raise a great question, and maybe Colortel, or Gary Miller, or someone else with advanced theory could jump in on this.
But if THAT's the case, then vacuum tube radio would also go dead. Thinking harder; I think the word I was told was that all silicon devices would be destroyed, whereas vacuum tube circuitry would survive. But maybe neither would function during the disaster; it's just that the tube stuff would work again afterwards whereas the silicon stuff never again.
