EMP and CME that is electromagnetic
pulse and coronal mass ejection both
events emit an intense wave of
electromagnetic pulse
that's a solar flare and a SAN nuclear
bomb detonated in our atmosphere and
most people are convinced that an ammo
can will protect their electronics that
they want to have after such an event if
it were to occur and I'm here to dispel
that myth and I gotta tell you how to
fix it so let's try a little experiment
this is my wife's phone
I want to dial her phone let you hear
what it sounds like I have her
permission
okay you hear what sounds like I'm going
to put it in the animal can walk it down
give it another call
bring it over here just make sure you
can hear it okay let me tell you why
that's happening the lid has a rubber
gasket all around here that lid that
rubber gasket prevents this lid from
making contact with the bottom portion
of the ammo can thereby completely
eliminating what you had hoped to
accomplish by putting stuff in here it's
not a Faraday cage if the top does not
make contact with the bottom basically
you've left the whole top open so what
I'm going to do is remove this rubber
gasket fill that gap with aluminum foil
now I've already taken the liberty of
doing this in the interest of time so
here we go that lid there has the gasket
removed and aluminum foil tin foil
whatever I'd get corrected on that all
time put back in there so here we put
the phone in there Oh women I didn't
take it out okay boom still in there
close this up give it a call
it's raining I don't show you the number
still ringing
right I'm gonna let you hear some of the
other whoops
when it answers well it was nothing a
good rap on the side of the camera
couldn't fix I'm electronics expert
trust me
so we'll prove that these herder cages
are these ammo cans will not make a
Faraday cage unless you remove the
gasket and line that with it doesn't
have to be tinfoil there could be a
metal gasket but the top of the lid and
the bottom of the cam have to make
contact and here's one other steps that
I take just to give it two layers of
protection I take my electronics that I
want to protect I put them in a plastic
ziplock baggie I wrap this in aluminum
foil tin foil and then I put it in the
cam now in this can you want to line it
with cardboard top bottom and all four
sides because you don't want this to
come in contact with the outside metal
so what you've done is protect this with
two separate layers of I'm not sure what
the word is called I'm not an
electronics expert by any mean but I
think it's called attenuation and what
it does is just prevent the
electromagnetic waves from getting to
your electronics I honestly don't
completely understand the science but
there's a lot I don't understand like
well anyway so there you go I think
that's pretty important thing to know
that gasket there is going to prevent
you from protecting your electronics so
if you've counted on that remove the
rubber gasket and fill that gap up with
tin foil protect these like I said
and you'll be double protected thanks
for watching
