Faraday Cages

Everyone,

just wandering how many have taken the effort to make a faraday cage for their electronic equipment and what did they make their's out of.


I made mine out of two boxes. The outer box - the entire shell was covered with aluminum foil and then the inner box inside with placed on a ziplock baggy to keep contact separated. The anntenna from the radio was removed.

Will this work?

how about building one on a LARGE scale? IE a Faraday garage? Keep all your needed equipment and vehicles in it.

We had a great class at aour last FTX RE: EMP & Faraday Cages. Essentially, a cardboard box covered in tinfoil is as effective as anything else. They key is that everything inside the cage MUST be isolated from ground.
