Ever since I made my Stylish Smartphone Faraday Box videos, countless people have told me to just use a microwave oven, or just use an empty potato chip bag.
Well, no… And yes! It depends.
The truth is that Faraday cages don’t block signals – they attenuate (or weaken) them.
That means that depending on the situation – the phone itself, the signal strength, the microwave oven itself, and so on – it may or may not work.
There are quite a few smartphone cases, Faraday bags, and other little gizmos out there that claim to protect you from the phones RF waves. A common method that people use is to line one (or both) sides of their phone case with good old aluminum foil. So, the question…
9 months ago, I made this video: Make your own stylish smartphone Faraday Box in 10 minutes Since then, I've learned a ton more about Faraday cages, and experimented a lot to make an even BETTER box. It turns out that my original box was only so-so at blocking Bluetooth.…
New Version! See: A better Stylish Smartphone Faraday Box With the release of WikiLeak's "Year Zero" information on the CIA's capabilities, you might be forgiven if you're worried about your privacy. Of course, those capabilities were always there, whether you knew about them or not. Still, it's a bit annoying…

Another awesome effort Scottie – you’re really getting these videos pat!
Our military equipment was caged, shielded, and protected from all kind of interference and the EMF pulse attack.
Proper grounding is vital for the greatest amount of attenuation as well as what the cage/shield material is made of and it’s geometry.
Aluminum isn’t a good material.
Iron is. But iron rusts. So blends were developed for static, dynamic, and other environmental variables.
You’re on point Scotty, don’t let the dumbies bring you down.
Oh, btw the DoD has all these EMF studies. They were all done in the 40’s 50’s and 60’s before ethical constraints interfered.
