How do Signal Blockers Work? (Faraday Cages)

Ғылым және технология

Many retailers now sell signal blockers to thwart digital snoops. How do they work, and are they really necessary?

    When I was at school, the entire place was a Faraday Cages, because it was refurbished from an old bomb shelter. Nobody, and I mean nobody could get a signal unless you were outside.

    Back in the (mainframe) days, a data center was built at an air force base in the state where I live. Unfortunately, when they activated it, the (large) disk drives would periodically have voltage spikes and drops causing problems. It was discovered that the ground control radar for the airplanes periodically swept the building in its circular sweep. The initial and temporary solution was to wrap the building in chicken wire which seemed to work until a more permanent solution could be implemented.

    h7opolo, "electric fields push charges away from them." Uhm, depends on the charges and more importantly on the fields. Linus also didn't just misspeak, the animation shows a vertically changing field exerting a static force in the horizontal direction of the wave's propagation. What's that supposed to be, radiation pressure? Also, no word on the fact that EM waves need a minimum frequency for a given Faraday cage to work on them, which is especially important in case the whole explanation was meant to look at a static case.

  • @h7opolo

    @h7opolo

    6 жыл бұрын

    He did state that the electric field was moving in a negative to positive direction which repels positive charges, so your first point is moot. For your second point, would the animation be more correct if the arrows and field lines pointed up and down instead of left and right?

    h7opolo, maybe you should watch the video again. He not only doesn't say what you're saying there, he also said that electrons are drawn towards the signal source. That's total BS. And even if he'd said what you're saying, it _still_ be wrong by 90 degrees. Sorry, but I can really find nothing redeeming about this explanation. The animation seems to mimick the one from Wikipedia, only that that one's not wrong. So go to Wikipedia everyone instead of watching this video.

    I have a question. I get that the Farady keeps electricty from getting to the inside or to the outside of the cage depending on where it originates from. But does the em field change shape to the extent that something powerful enough might not send electricity outside of the cage, but it still might bend space? And vice versa?

    Hi Linus, I live in a condominium and I see anywhere form 15 to 20 Wi-Fi signals coming into my home. All of which are competing/searching for open channels. This is happening both on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Needless to say, wifi performance is significantly hindered as soon as I walk away from my SOHO router. Since I live on the top floor, I thought I would tare the flooring and install a wire mesh, like a carpet, before reinstalling the whole thing. What do you think of my idea? Do you think it would work? Ben

    I have been sleeping a a Faraday Cage for 2+ years. I can tell you, that when I wake up..... I feel relaxed and get a lot of Energy. I also only sleep 4+ Hours per day. Although I try to get my 8 Hours daily, but somehow I get so much Energy, I only need about 4+ Hours. NOTE: I have a video in my Channel about my Faraday Cage. If you can't find it, you can easily search on KZread Search Term: Jordan Bronson Faraday Cage

    Do you think there are weapons that can be directed onto people that would do things to them that would do harm to people like cause vertigo?? and if so would a Faraday cage stop such a weapon??

    Copper mesh inside the walls, does the job, to block signals? Cheap and effective for those with electromagnetic hypersensitivity ?

    So does that mean that if I just put my phone in the microwave without turning it on, that it shouldn't be able to be called?

    I just tried this (you made me curious) and it turns out that when I put my phone (oneplus two) in my microwave the wifi signal was immediately gone and my usually stable and highspeed 4g turned into a very slow 3g connection (my provider doesn't support 2g/gsm/etc). I was still able to use the internet though (I used teamviewer to test the connection). I also tried calling myself from a different phone and it went though without a problem. The position seemed to matter, when I put the phone closer to the door it managed to keep a very weak wifi signal. So either microwaves only block certain waves or my microwave is leaking and slowly turning me into popcorn.

    Doskii it all depends on frequency of the signal. Faraday cage can block up to some frequency. Basic equation is width of gaps in faraday cage is equal to half of the longitude of wave from wich you can get limiting frequency by dividing speed of light with measured longitude. So to conclude ideal faraday cage would have no gaps (like elevator) so it would block EM waves on all frequencies.

    Doskii the microwave only blocks microwaves because it wants to keep its microwaves inside to cook your food
