| Tin Foil Hat needed. |

All of these tin hat solutions seem to underestimate the extent of the brain inside the skull, optic and auditory nerves etc. :-\ What you need is some form of RF conductive gimp mask. Maybe very fine knitted silver plated copper mesh would have sufficient elasticity. It would also allow some limited vision and ability to breath (not sure if that's a requirement of normal gimp masks, I'm very naive!). Food would be out - but maybe water trickled in (or very thin soup if it has a low Sulphur content?). The neck hole is an obvious weak point from the RF perspective but there's very little that can be done about that - that's socially acceptable anyway. ;) |

Back in the day, beer cans were made from solderable tin-plated steel. Half of the fun in fabricating useful objects from them (including the notorious 1/4-wave dipole for the 160m ham band) was preparing the raw material by draining the contents. The space aliens and new-world-order conspirators ruined this by forcing us to switch to aluminum. |

Corona virus can’t penetrate tin foil - - - double protection. :-DD That and wearing a tin foil hat might go a long way to ensure ‘social distancing’ (maybe it is ‘anti-social distancing’) >:D |

Of course one needs to 'invert' it, before assembling it on one's head... 8) The BEAUTY is that the holes do not diminish it's effectiveness, due to the "Faraday Cage" effect!! :-+ --- End quote --- It's a "Colander" and the size of the holes determines the maximum frequency it's effective for. Smaller wavelengths require smaller holes to properly attenuate. So it's only effective as a high pass filter. In theory a tinfoil hat is properly effective. Oh, and beware the FSM if you choose to wear a Colander. |
