You need a leveled surface plate and a stove. --- End quote --- 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. :-+ --- End quote --- That reminds me of this: (Youtuber, cements his head inside a microwave oven to get youtube hits, but creates an emergency): |

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? |

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.) |

Of course your wet brain will provide some absorption and damping factor. 8) |
