Thanks, much appreciated.

Aluminum foil much better than the Myler blanket...

@@melaniel.s8990 So true!

Sure, you're most welcome.

Thank you!

Thanks Neil! We appreciate your support.

I was a little surprised too.

Thanks Jack.

Thanks James. The EMPStorm is sitting up at UL, waiting for them to certify it. I called them, and they said they had some kind of in-house audit, which is why it's been going so slow. Hopefully, it'll get moving soon. I'm at their mercy at this point. Thanks for your patience.

How do u ground something? My garbage can area is buzzing like a bee when turn my heat on

@@ranichahal794 stick copper rod into the ground attach wire to rod in ground and object you want grounded !!!

I'm still waiting for your video on this

Hey I'm a targeted individual, I endure havana syndrome dew, mkultra programming and voice of god weapons.. if I ground mylar blankets would it help?

I did this with another Faraday cage in a later video. No real difference. The incident energy is in the far field, so grounding doesn't have a huge effect. Instead, the metallic barrier acts to reflect and absorb energy, even if it's not grounded.

Thanks Tom. I appreciate the kind words.

It works

I have tried various tapes with EMP bags and ad hoc Faraday cages. Wide aluminum duct tape seems to do as good as anything. In this experiment, I wrapped the second Mylar sheet all the way around to the back, so I don't think energy could have easily leaked through the taped seams. It's essentially the same setup I used when testing aluminum foil.

Was wondering the same thing. Has to be a cheaper way to cover items that need to remain plugged in. Ferrites are only one component but still need to cover a ham radio with that expensive cloth he tests in other videos.

You're welcome!

Sorry, but I try not to comment on other company's products.

@@disasterprepper An Answer is your view or experience for a particular question. A Comment is your view on a particular answer. An answer is true but may be precise or general in nature. Whereas a comment is a subjective opinion that may be correct or incorrect or neither. As a doctor, you have a duty-- if these guy's are swindling people, and you're the guy to call bullshit, that would be truly impressive.

I'll double check, but just like EMP bags, I believe the metal is sputtered in between plastic layers. The thin layer could prevent a tight seal, but by wrapping it around, most, if not all, of the seams should be covered. Exposed conductor would be better, but even crafted as they are, EMP bags can provide 50+ dB of shielding across frequencies of interest.

Buy a grow tent and flip it inside out.

It's More likely The Antenna Will Attract Lightning Strikes!!!!!! Does the Antenna have Lightning ground... Also Also YES EMP will be Amplified by Antenna! hells a near field attend will boost to some degree every Signal (except photons) on the EM Scale

Shielding roughly goes up additively in dB, so two layers would come close to doubling the dB level of protection to closer to 16-20 dB.

Making a EMP medical bag for all my medical devices. Glucometer, Digital BP cuffs, O2 Sat finger monitors, Digital Stethoscopes (expensive), thermometers, Kardia EKG. Commenting to give persons with health issues or healthcare professionals suggestions on items they may want to secure. Still searching for portable AED I can afford. Few others like an IV Pump but not in rush with a pump because would need to figure out a source for IV solutions.

@ Penpoint 777 Exactly my thoughts, or perhaps simply quadrupled it to be exact! 💙

I think foil would do significantly better than a typical mylar bag. If you're talking about an anti-static or EMP bag like the ones I sell at Disasterpreparer.com, they provide around 50 dB of shielding (about the same as a layer of aluminum foil).

@@disasterprepper Sounds good, thanks!

5G wasn't the focus of this test. Rather, it was targeted toward the frequency content of an EMP (which goes out to about 1 GHz).

Lola Moonflower I suspect it probably offers a little EMF shielding from the phone’s emissions, but if possible, it would be better to shut the phone off. Even putting it across the room would help quite a bit.

@@disasterprepper I'm sure that would be ideal however inconvenient...of course that would be why I'd like something closer and still convenient and still something I could grab easily if need be... perhaps a lining of the emf fabric inside the lunch bag... Is there some kind of rating on the fabric I should look for..

@@LolaMoonflower I'm assuming that you still want the phone to receive calls and texts, right? If so, you might consider using an anti-static bag (aka EMP bag). I have some on my website at disasterpreparer.com, but you can find them elsewhere. They can cut the phone emissions by about 99% but still have enough signal for it to receive calls.

I can't say for sure, but I did an analysis of a Medtronic pacemaker a couple of years ago, and it looked like it would survive. It might experience an upset, but it was unlikely to be damaged.

Thank you so much for responding! I appreciate that and your insight!

I'm really sorry to hear about your suffering. It sounds like you suspect it might be related to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) but are open to the idea that it could be due to some other cause. That's good. Many people assume that EMFs are the source of their issues, when in fact it could be something else entirely. One way to get some indication is to simply get away for a few days, take a vacation somewhere away from all the technology. If you see improvement, it likely means your problems are environmental. It still won't confirm that it's EMFs, but at least you'll know it's not an underlying health issue. There are many ways to reduce fields inside your home, but most are not cheap. One thing you could try is to buy a conductive blanket (maybe something made out of silver thread, since they're very soft). You could wrap it around you when you're sitting around, or sleep with it over you at night. Again, if it gives relief, that would be a pretty good sign that you might be hypersensitive to EMFs. There's more to know on the subject that I can explain in this email, but you might seek out a reputable book on the subject to get an understanding of the sources of low-frequency magnetic fields and high-frequency electromagnetic fields.

disasterprepper thank you for your reply. A friend who has this sensitivity recommended I buy this sheet/ blanket to try. Do I just lay under it or does it need to be grounded? I am not even sure what that means. www.amazon.com/RFID-Shielding-Silver-Fabric-Roll/dp/B01KYJT0RA/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&ref_=sspa_mw_detail_6

He said it doesn't work.

Obviously this doesn’t work. It’s an EMP, a survival blanket won’t stop that. We should test the effectiveness on blocking 5G because some people have been lining their walls with them which sounds a bit weird

Thanks Ravi.

Sorry, can you provide a little more on this question. Not sure what you're asking.

Yes, I'm sure that's true, but I was trying to get an apples-to-apples comparison. One layer didn't do very well. Other materials, such as aluminum foil are significantly better.

Generators are pretty robust, but if you want to protect them, I recommend covering with conductive fabric. You can find your own or get some from disasterpreparer.com/product/emp-cloth/.

If they're not connected to anything, probably not. If they're connected into a system, you should put broadband ferrites up by the panels and down by the inverter. See disasterpreparer.com/product/emp-ferrites/.

@@disasterprepper Thank you for the valuable information and the quick response! Have a fabulous holiday weekend.

It ends up that grounding really doesn't have any measurable effect when in the far field of an RF source. Some people think that attaching a ground wire would help shielding, but the inductive reactance of the wire is quite high at RF frequencies. Even if it wasn't, the conductor itself acts to reflect and absorb the RF energy, regardless of whether it is grounded. As for the EMP, it is a broadband event (narrow in time, broad in frequency span). Most sources suggest a frequency span from about 100 kHz to 1 GHz. You're absolutely right that longer conductors pick up more energy, especially from a broadband event. I would rephrase your comment about wire and circuit trace resonance to say that they have to be an appreciable size in relation to the wavelength of the incident signal. Usually, the rule of thumb is that if the conductor is 1/10 of the wavelength or longer, it will efficiently receive (or radiate) energy. I appreciate your comments.

I've only tested thin mylar space blankets, and they didn't do very well (about 10 dB shielding). The reason is that the sputtered metal is just too thin. I don't know about a 7 mil mylar bag.

Unfortunately, my generator only goes to 1 GHz. From my experience, typically things that don't shield well at hundreds of MHz don't do well at higher frequencies either. I do plan to do some 5G (tens of GHz) testing this fall using some other equipment.

The entire structure should be sealed with something conductive to create an effective Faraday cage. In this case, I wrapped a crate with a mylar blanket.

Thank you.

jwh When do you think we will receive our units

@@johnhorne3457 It's currently at UL. I've been answering their questions on a daily basis. They're trying to determine the best way to test the breaker tripping action. I can't say how much longer it will take, but please know it's moving forward.

The line of sight is broken in the experiment by introducing the conductive barrier. Of course, that's what we're trying to do. If you blocked the line of sight with cloth or paper, it wouldn't have any measurable effect. But if you cover the measurement device with something conductive, it blocks the RF energy.

I've not tested with radiant barrier, but I suspect it would work well if you cover the seams with conductive tape.

It's less a matter of micro-geometry of the composite elements, more so the macro-construction of the antenna or the shield. As is, that Mylar blanket _will_ dampen electromagnetic frequencies, but only above a relatively high frequency threshold. If he were to converge the antenna's directional gain to a tight beam via a parabolic reflector that was aimed parallel with the Mylar blanket, or if he folded the material like a curtain blind and kept the antenna's radial transmission waveform demonstrated in this video--if either of those conditions were met--then the threshold at which the signal would be dampened would occur at lower frequencies and above, depending on the aggregate cross section of the constructed shield. Since the wavelengths tested here far exceed the depth of the Mylar blanket's aluminum layer, they are able to fully saturate during the period of a single hysteresis cycle of the signal generator that powers the antenna. Ergo, the material becomes essentially electrically neutralized insofar as each individual elemental particle's available inertia to off-set the phase difference of the radially generated electromagnetic wave. In other words, whether the angle of a given photon path is aimed left or right, if it still comes out the same on the other side, then no significant dampening of the generated signal can be observed. But if the beam was focused into a parallel beam, or shield was folded like a curtain blind, then a small divergence in any given photon path generates a relatively higher divergence from how the antenna's signal would be transmitted compared to if there was no shield at all. Like this: [ ϴ + 1 ] =============/ / [ ϴ + 2 ] =============\ \ [ ϴ + 3 ] =============/ / [ ϴ + 4 ] =============\ \ [ ϴ + 5 ] =============/ / vs. [ ϴ + 1 ] =============| | [ ϴ + 2 ] =============| | [ ϴ + 3 ] =============| | [ ϴ + 4 ] =============| | [ ϴ + 5 ] =============| | Note that an optical beam's waveform maps transmission angle (ϴ) injectively with respect to transverse displacement. (+1,+2,+3,+4,+5) which basically means that any given photon path moves transversely with respect to the change in the angle from which a beam-formed antenna radiates its generated signal--i.e. if you point a planar beam north, then oscillations in its frequency modulation causes a proportional transformation in its electromagnetic flux in the east or west directions. All that's just to say that my cute ASCII graph there _is_ technically accurate. *tl ; dr* Make it corrugated enough, and you can essentially use any lustrous composite for your electromagnetic shield's construction. 👍

No it has to be mylar

No I haven't tested that yet. I'll try to do so sometime soon.
