are the mibs on here?

read that link I provided it has your answers

Faraday cages do not have to be solid, thus the name "cage" instead of the oft misused term—"box."  In fact, many of them that you can build yourself or will see on the internet will resemble a bird cage or a very finely meshed chicken coop wire.

Teknit is the company we used for Mil-Spec Tempest enclosures meeting the strictest EMI/RFI. Teknit offers customized gaskets, vulcanized rubber and isolation gaskets, including vent screens for air flow. Expensive is an understatement. All doors, covers and lids must have fastener spacing of 2.1 inches, and have the appropriate gasketing. Copper screening over the drywall mesh, everywhere. Our unit was made for E-Systems and went on a shuttle mission, Hermetically sealed, welded enclosure ruggedized with helical isolators. $$$$$$$$

Here is  a very important point

Be selective in what you protect. It makes no sense to protect a cell phone, for example, as the cell towers will be useless.  If it were me, I would protect radios, communication devices (such as a HAM radio), batteries and all of their respective tools, thumb drives loaded with all of my vital information, and a laptop.  Keep in mind that a Faraday cage should be your LAST concern in terms of protecting every electronic that you enjoy presently.  It's not like if you preserve your television you're going to have any "juice" to plug it into.  Don't focus on a Faraday cage and its time, effort, and expense at the risk of neglecting food, water, and medical supplies. It would be better for you to read up on solar power, wind and steam energy instead.

Yeah   Similar to a Kedi Knight

I not worried about my house.
My shop has Has zink plated sheet metal roof. It is all grounded to the best of my ability because of experimention of radient energy

Should be OK?

You all make me smile
Just want to protect enough componets that I can have electricity the day after

galium arsenide microchips can handle emp but you dont have access to them.my  house is barn tin.stainless steel wool in any big gaps.bury stranded copper wire and salt in the ground for a ground.
half inch wire if you can afford it.

Thanks for all of your replies.
I think I am safe in my inner cave
3 layers of zink plated sheet metal
2 ground rods 1/2 by 8 FT
6 rods 1/4 in 6 ft deep

Guess I am anal
Next question what cars can run or lawn tractors?
I would have to 1 mile to get water
Have to start working onthe h generator
Bless all
Have to go do the family thing

maybe an extra car computer.by at junkyard cheap.wrap in foil.save.maybe ignition coil too.now that i think about it your probly screwed unless its a 1960 s model.lol

or get a faraday cage for your car?
im putting my faith in a fourwheeler.

The easiest way to protect any electronics you want to shield is in a steel box, just make sure  it is grounded well...if you want whole house protection the best way is to build an earth-sheltered geodesic dome; the re-bar and wire framework that you use to form and shape the dome is a Farraday cage, can be layed out in any design that you choose, and not only very sturdy but once the shotcrete or gunite shell dries, 4" of it will support 20 times more than a conventional 8" reinforced slab...

Now thats some engineering, Seeker!  Using a mesh for the cage material embedded in shotcrete..great idea!

One could also line the inside with a layer of metallic paint for extra protection, right?

Powdered magnetite mixed with a good concrete paint...excellent magnetic deflection.

Cheers!

you want to use bentonite to make a non-permeable membrane on the outside for water proofing; add the magnetite both inside and outside; should have some definite sheilding properties...


also, since it is earth sheltered or at least semi underground, they are virtually storm proof, tornado proof, and depending on the number of door and window openings, virtually sound proof...
easy to cool in summer, easy to heat when needed...

Hmmm where is there an underground facility surounded with bentonite?

DIA, perhaps..wonder whats really under there, now, eh?

Great ideas, Seeker, lets go into the EMP proof bunker business, sir!

Cheers!

wouldn't be that difficult to do, Lil E; I would have to check the numbers again, but realistically, you could construct a small "bunker" for sheilding and or shelter in a number of different ways ...

buy a 20' or 40' steel shipping container and bury it, add an air system and low voltage power...
