I made my own tin helmet by wrapping SN100 solder around my head, then pounding it flat against my skull with a hammer.  I did get too enthusiastic a couple of times and knocked myself out cold, so that's something one might wish to watch out for.  Or get a "friend" to do the hammering for you.  :-+

Does anyone know where this "tin foil hat" thing started?  Does this have anything to do with atomic bombs or any other specific event? 

Additional question.  Does a foil hat need to be grounded, and would it need to be an RF ground or safety ground?

It goes back to this story: http://www.revolutionsf.com/fiction/tissue/

Inside that story a tin foil hat actually DOES protect against a form of mind control.

In the eighties (as a kid), I knew of a small village grocery store owner, who was horrified of microwave ovens, due to "their nucular radiation".

("atomisätteily" for Finnish aficionados.)

I believe that the hemispherical shape is preferable to the dunce-cap pointed shape, making a smoother equipotential surface, and have seen no politically-correct research to contradict my belief.

Well... this has been tested a while back:

It will actually increase the EM field in some frequency range. Of course your wet brain will provide some absorption and damping factor. 8)
