Title: Cheap faraday cage
Post by: Magnum on December 03, 2010, 06:24:23 PM
I did not have all the materials but tried it with just foil wrapped around my phone.

Noting showed on my phone.

Will investigate further.

Might be useful when you want to just chill.

The real trick is to remove the battery, then it cannot be tracked.

Hi,

   Sounds like a complex alternative to a working On-Off switch.
Also instead of two pieces of foil you would be better off with
one larger piece folded in half.

Cheers,

I am not worried about being tracked.

I just found it interesting that I could use aluminum.

As a scientist, learning new things is usually pretty cool.

You might be thinking too hard.

I often do that.

The foil saves wear and tear on the buttons
and it should survive an EMP pulse, even if I don't.  :U

I am surprised you missed it.
