- Simple way to make a Faraday cage.
Since, North Korea has threatened to attack our power grid with a nuke, I thought some would want to know about this topic. - Jak na to + styl
Since we are looking at a possible WW3 escalation in Europe nowadays in 2022, This is more relevant now then ever before. Thank you for the video
I have been pondering the comment about needing an insulator inside, such as a cardboard box. For simple radio signals, it is not needed. I have tested for that. However, Daniel is right that in the case of a lightning strike, an insulator is needed. But an EMP pulse is somewhere in the middle. And the distance from the pulse makes a difference. Not sure how to test the theory, let along the specs for the insulator. If an insulator is needed, would a plastic bag or Ziploc sandwich bags be as good as cardboard? Most gadgets like USB external hard drives have plastic shells. I'll let you know if I find any more on the subject.
A question for anyone who can answer. after an EMP if you have protected a Bluetooth speaker and a player, will the Bluetooth still work?
Yes. It would be fine.
some security professionals use a microwave oven or the freezer compartment in an upright refrigerator, however you can still make a phone call in all of the above
They are not Faraday cages.
Big problem here. The objects inside the ‘bag’ need to be insulated from the bag/cage.
Daniel. Interesting. I just w a website that says this. Faraday cages I am used to, don't. I think an experiment is in order to test if an inside insulator is necessary or not.
The contents need to be insulated from the cage otherwise they will experience a current surge. The cage protects against the EMP wave which produces a current, so the cage experiences the current surge and if anything is touching the cage with a conductive surface, even if it's inside, it will be subject to a potential surge as well. Your initial box setup should have been okay though. I'm not sure why it failed.
cool...pretty simple...
Get yourself a metal trash can and you are set , its that easy 😊
Have you tested it? Its harder than it looks. The tiniest gap in the seal lets the radio wave in.
But the power grid will be knocked out. Where will you get power for your electronics?
Wait until it comes back. Or you can use solar panels recharge your batteries.
