Faraday's cages are almost totally ineffective in mitigating or attenuating particle radiation as is produced by a Coronal Mass Ejection from the Sun. {b] Who ever has been telling you a Faraday's cage will protect sensitive electronics from particle radiation is ignorant. The best solution for the average person would be to bury sensitive items under the ground in a metal box. Again, a Faraday's cage attenuates electromagnetic radiation, your microwave's cabinet is a Farday's cage in fact.But a Faraday cages won't do jack shit in the vent of a CME A Faraday cage is a metallic enclosure that prevents the entry or escape of an electromagnetic field (EM field). An ideal Faraday cage consists of an unbroken, perfectly conducting shell. This ideal cannot be achieved in practice, but can be approached by using fine-mesh copper screening. For best performance, the cage should be directly connected to an earth ground. Quoting: [link to searchsecurity.techtarget.com] |
