wrap the microwave in aluminum foil HVAC tape and you'll have a successful faraday cage. I pulled the motor and interior parts from an old microwave i was going to toss out, wrapped the micro the way you wrapped your boxes and then put electronics i don't use on a daily basis in the micro to protect them from any possible EMP events.
If I might add, a 'helpful hint': when you put your phone inside any ''cell phone signal blocker', especially if using one regularly, put the phone in airplane mode before turning it off. Otherwise, your phone will drain it's battery trying to send out it's signal(s) while inside the blocking box. It sucks your battery's juice even faster than when it's just sitting around "turned off". - James "Don't even call me Heloise!" Cameron. NOTE: I didn't use the term "Faraday box, (or cage)", because the box, the one shown here, is not one. A Faraday box is used to block EMP surges, specifically, that can damage your electronic device; it's not necessarily to block the signal going to and from your cell phone. So technically, the experiment using the microwave may be valid for the receiving and/or transmitting cell phone signals, but is not valid in terms of being an actual "Faraday box", (by definition).
Great presentation thank you, I've heard this before about putting it in a microwave that it is supposed to protect it but you just gave proof that it doesn't!
Wait a minute,,,, I tried this and it work for me...hummm. 2 brand new smartphones one in the microwave, called it with the other smartphone and no signal.
A friend's colleague put his smart phone in a heavy duty mylar bag and put it in the microwave oven and TURNED THE OVEN ON at which time his wife tried calling the phone and it did not work but after turning the oven off and removing the phone, it worked just fine ... so THAT is a much better test.
Hello, I'm a EME Technical specialist Just to let you know it is 100% down to the operating frequency of the Microwave (oven), as it is designed to attenuate that very frequency from escaping (therefor also entering), usually 2.34Ghz (aka 2340Mhz) which is very close to many 5G services. That is because there is no need to block any frequency significantly lower or higher as the Microwave only creates waves at that frequency :) If you have a 4G and 5G service guess what....whatever can get through, will get through. Also keep on mind half and double wave length of operating frequencies can be affected.
Microwave ovens make great faraday cages. You simply need to further insulate and ground. They are far cheaper than buying most faraday bags and some folks may have an old one laying around. Even a broken one perhaps. Very effective. You have holes in the door shielding. They only protect against microwaves. Not same wavelengths from cell phone, which penetrate the door. Bad quality experiment..
Depends on the frequency your network provides (and phone supports). If your phone is connected the a frequency lower than 2.45GHz), you will have no coverage on that band.
I get all kinds of interesting looks when my phone rings. On the plus side, I am never in doubt that it's my phone that's ringing since everyone else has boring ringtones.
The one part I wanted to see was blocked out because you pointed the camera too high and placed the smartphone in your custom Farraday box too low outside the vision of the camera.
Maybe for during sleeping time? And me personally speaking, i like keyboard and mouse and my computer is on a wired connection. I don't need a data plan at all at home :)
Have you tested the microwave for leakage and why the grounding? Unfortunately i also don't get the box :) Why not just limit apps from connecting, turn off all the connections, enter Airplane mode or turn off the device? Sadly, the Box is needed around the house.
I put my phone in with it unplugged and I looked through the window and I noticed it dropped my wifi and cell to one bar. Maybe if you wrap it in aluminum foil and toss it in the microwave It will block it.
When I put my AM FM radio in checked both lower and upper sides of the band and then I put my cell phone in and it didn't ring. Maybe you dropped your microwave /just thinking out loud here.

I would never own a microwave so it's no solution to make food or a fake faraday cage. Who is promoting this disinformation? Solution for stopping signals to a phone, don't own one, or keep the battery out of it.
So your Box / Bag combo will prevent cell and perhaps 5gig wifi signals from reaching your phone, but will it block all frequencies that would be present during an EMP? Fact: You won't know until you have an EMP!
Ok, I tried the microwave test also. I put my smartphone in a friend's microwave and called with his dumb phone. Mine rang. Then I did.some research and found the frequency range of phone service providers (,in US) is from 600 MHZ to 2100 MHZ. I'm thinking that must play a big factor in this experiment. Or maybe there's a better antenna in the smartphone than the dumb phone? I also tried putting my smartphone in a stainless refrigerator and the dumb phone was still able to call it!
So this may be a stupid question, but gonna ask anyway .... why bother with a Faraday box, if you can just take the battery out of your phone instead ?
Your best option is physical distance - move it into another room. Otherwise, it's difficult to shield it while making sure it doesn't overheat. Even low-power modems will eventually get REALLY hot if enclosed in any kind of small box / wrapped in foil.
Nice review, although the "smart" and "dumb" term should be used the other way around as we all know that the so called "smart" phones of today, really do make a lot of people "dumber" or "zombified" in reality, compared to the old model "dumb" phones.
Certain whistleblowers might have used that technique because 4G was only just rolling out in Hong Kong around that time. Also just how well does a phone's microphone and cameras work through the walls of the microwave? The probable reason for putting them in there.
ONLY OLD microwaves work like the very old first models of the microwave. Got this tidbit from a freemason. So go to a second hand store or habitat for humanity and pay like 10$ for the oldest one you can find. Milar bags work to you may have to double or triple bag it but it works.
it may stop your stalker from locating u or scammer's call flood for a while,but just can't stop cyberbully's eavesdropping totally,unless u quit mobile
Why does your box get the benefits of an added bag, when the microwave does not? Use the bag and the microwave on the smartphone and it will probably block the 4g signal.
Good info on the microwave, you can buy signal blocking pouches very cheaply and they work well

always listen to cleatus cause the ball of fur knows his stuff lol
This episode is weird coz, I keep imagining it's Scottie's mum or grandma sitting in front of the counter/ microwave and reading... Lol
Great presentation thank you, I've heard this before about putting it in a microwave that it is supposed to protect it but you just gave proof that it doesn't!
I heard that too! So glad I watched this vid!😃👍
The only thing close to faraday cage in that microwave is the mesh inside the door.
Certain types of microwaves it does work I've done it
Wait a minute,,,, I tried this and it work for me...hummm. 2 brand new smartphones one in the microwave, called it with the other smartphone and no signal.
Full power for 60 secs turns your phone off.
Must let it stand for one minute too
it took some seconds to understand what you mean xD
@@edmundblackaddercoc8522 lol.
Actually... that will cause your phone to summon the demon Golgoroth. See:

Could salt and aluminum somehow magically make a difference in signal strength somehow depending on how it's used? 😶
It’s all fine and well for RF energy but what about an electromagnetic pulse?

Great vid, Scottie...thanks so much for clarifying! Do you have a video on how to build a Faraday Cage in your home?
Use copper foil and aluminum to make it sturdy. Literally you can make a simple box and you’re good to go. Cheap and accessible :).
No experiment is satisfactorily complete ...
until you turn the microwave on. 😃
Just because you plug a plug into a power outlet. That doesn't mean it's grounded.
love the part from 5:12 to 5:44 where you have your mouth open and no sounds come out..haha perfekt....great video. Thanks…….thumb up
dont forget 1:50 to 2:04
Great sense of humor, Thank you!
Aren't you just testing the antennae of the phones?
What about putting the phone in the microwave and then cooking it? :)
I did that once and it ruined my microwave with a very bad smell! I don't recommend it! LOL! Seriously I did!
Yeah, that'll do it!

Use your idea to coat entire walls with conductive copper. Make entire house a faraday cage. Any other material that deflects microwaves!?
Where did you source your copper, Neil? Must've taken a lot of roles/sheets.
@@elizabetherwin1315 I said 'Use' not used

Lose Cletus.
5:12 this moment my phone rang...
oh god
Everything is awesome! lol
5G - The silent killer...
5G can't penetrate walls
Depends on the frequency your network provides (and phone supports). If your phone is connected the a frequency lower than 2.45GHz), you will have no coverage on that band.
What about the refrigerator? And do commercial faraday bags work?
What if u unplug the microwave tho?
You forgot to start the microwave - then it wouldn't ring LOL
That’s the gayest most annoying ringtone that I’ve heard this year. Congratulations! Great video though. Really enjoyed it!
I get all kinds of interesting looks when my phone rings. On the plus side, I am never in doubt that it's my phone that's ringing since everyone else has boring ringtones.
Your face at 1:50, when you thought it was gonna fail 😂
just wrap a few yellow vests over cell phone towers & you stopped getting spied on
It will work with any phone. You have to turn the microwave on lol
it's the wavelength bro, wavelength
The one part I wanted to see was blocked out because you pointed the camera too high and placed the smartphone in your custom Farraday box too low outside the vision of the camera.
Wonder if this will work on the FEMA message...
So, what is my motivation for wanting to render my expensive cell phone with an expensive data plan useless? What am I missing here?
Maybe for during sleeping time?
And me personally speaking, i like keyboard and mouse and my computer is on a wired connection. I don't need a data plan at all at home :)
Question does the microwave has to be plugged in for the emp protection to have effect? Or not?
No, but sometimes grounding it by plugging it in helps.
Have you tested the microwave for leakage and why the grounding?
Unfortunately i also don't get the box :)
Why not just limit apps from connecting, turn off all the connections, enter Airplane mode or turn off the device?
Sadly, the Box is needed around the house.
Thanks for the information. I like your program, keep it up and all the best.
nice one. know what else works a potato chip bag with the foil inside.
I put my phone in with it unplugged and I looked through the window and I noticed it dropped my wifi and cell to one bar. Maybe if you wrap it in aluminum foil and toss it in the microwave It will block it.
I tried thus and my phon lost all reception. I dont know how yours worked.
When I put my AM FM radio in checked both lower and upper sides of the band and then I put my cell phone in and it didn't ring.

Yup, nobody really knows what will happen during an EMP! I talk about that here: th-cam.com/video/fFT3rj8wtU4/w-d-xo.html
Will a led bag work ... like when we used to put our film in led bag at the airport to guard from radiation.???
It might. Lead isn't quite as good as copper, but it depends on thickness as well. Worth a try!
Cleatus is going to be a famous TH-camr one day, I can see it

what about an AM FM radio
Your box just has really good sound isolation i think. Prove me wrong
HEY YOYO, YOU NEED TO REMOVE THE CORD, AS IT ACTS AS AN ANTENNA. DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE YOU MAKE A VIDEO
Bag of chips ... as in "Enemy of the State" with Gene Hackman and Will Smith, haha
When EMP is coming will burn the microwave first
Did you ever check that strange, unknown car near your house? My friend at the CIA told me they are still there. :)
So this may be a stupid question, but gonna ask anyway .... why bother with a Faraday box, if you can just take the battery out of your phone instead ?
Because it is more convenient not to have to take the battery in and out daily.
I have my modem in my bed room how can I protect myself from elf. Besides moving it to another room can you wrap it in aluminum foil???
Your best option is physical distance - move it into another room. Otherwise, it's difficult to shield it while making sure it doesn't overheat. Even low-power modems will eventually get REALLY hot if enclosed in any kind of small box / wrapped in foil.
What about wrapping it then using the microwave?
That would most likely work better.
Love the tribble coos.

Short answer: yes if its not that amazon microwave
They would say your microwave is leaking LOL
Can you make me a stylish faraday suite? I'm dead serious. I'll pay good money.
If You push button "Start" it will be perfect Faraday box ;)
Interesting stuff thanks
Alright! new video,)
Use a walky talky
no need for faraday box
pull out the battery
I tired this, didn't work
Ok, my phone is saved, but the cell towers are fried, so it's still a paper weight.
Nonetheless it is a good test.

why not?

Use the bag and the microwave on the smartphone and it will probably block the 4g signal.
