LibriVox volunteers are helpful and friendly, and if you post a question anywhere on the forum you are likely to get an answer from someone, somewhere within an hour or so. So don't be shy! Many of our volunteers have never recorded anything before LibriVox. The roles involved in making a LibriVox recording.

Not all volunteers read for LibriVox. If you would prefer not to lend your voice to LibriVox , you could lend us your ears. Proof listeners catch mistakes we may have missed during the initial recording and editing process. Readers record themselves reading a section of a book, edit the recording, and upload it to the LibriVox Management Tool.

For an outline of the Librivox audiobook production process, please see The LibriVox recording process. We require new readers to submit a sample recording so that we can make sure that your set up works and that you understand how to export files meeting our technical standards.

We do not want you to waste previous hours reading whole chapters only to discover that your recording is unusable due to a preventable technical glitch. A book coordinator commonly abbreviated BC in the forum is a volunteer who manages all the other volunteers who will record chapters for a LibriVox recording. If High frequencies are blocked then low frequencies will be also, but not visa versa. OR, am I wrong? I like a faraday cage constructed to consider both High and Low energy frequencies with two layers of different types of materials such as wire and solid metal.

If you want a severe test take a cheap digital watch or cell phone or whatever test object you want and place it in your preferred container design and microwave said container for 10 seconds. If this information is to save lives it would be nice if it was precise and correct.

Smart way to check penetration of energy. The energy put out be a nuclear explosion will be much more than the radio stations power at your location. If you have access to a shipping container, put your smaller faraday cage equipment into a larger faraday cage container, and then put that in your insulated shipping container.

If struck by lightning, while in your car, you are protected. The tires seem to ground the metal cage that the car is made of. Just makes sense. I offer up to the internet the lowly paint can. Another simple solution is to duct tape a paint can opener to it. Make sure that there is a good electrical connection between the lid and and can or it will not be a good Faraday cage.

Paint cans often have thin non-conducting coatings inside, which might include the connection between the lid and the can. Excellent idea, I have used it. I would do the same down the joint of the can to cover the small gaps that we cant see but a RS could sneak in Grampa.

They show a 5 layer diagram and are ziplock sealed. Will this work? C Davis — have you tested any of these? You have some good ideas, but some are not so good. It is imperative that these gaps be closed with conductive material such as aluminum or copper tape. I have tried two of them and call BS.

If you want a simple test of concept take a verified working cell phone. Put the cell phone in an all metal kitchen pot with metallic lid that simply fits the pot correctly. The lid does not need to screw on, be clamped down or anything extreme. The phone will not ring when called when inside the pot. No tape or any other special methods are needed.

Sealing it airtight or anything close to it is not necessary either. Many Faraday cage designs simply employ relatively fine wire mesh that you can see right through. You just have to block enough to remain below the threshold where damage occurs. Many Faraday cages are made of metallic mesh with literally thousands of gaps in the mesh itself so your claim is obviously inaccurate.

Aluminum backing on the insulation Styrofoam is somehow messed up aluminum. It is shiny, but non-conductive. My parents old microwave quit. It was older, a pretty large one.

These are perfect for a Faraday cage. Ever notice the mesh covering on the window of the door? This to dissipate the electrical waves from leaving the microwave. Works to keep waves out too. I have found a couple of others and have them on a shelf in a metal cabinet, in a metal building.

Keep 2 way radios, ham radios, electrical parts for my older cars, and such inside. The phone and radio worked inside the microwave. Unless these are sealed with adhesive aluminum tape or something better , the lids and doors will act as slot antennas. There exists tape for this purpose.

Conductive with conductive adhesive. Other tapes are useless. I took 32gb thumb drive, copied all my plctures documents and a collection of books it. Then I put it a 9 volt battery package for insulation and then opened a copper brillo type pad and wrapped it around the little package. Then I stuck it away in my metal cabinet drawer. Does this sound like it will prevent emp damage? And just what are you going to use to retrieve all that information after an EMP?

Just saying, its not much use without something to read it with. Whenever I come across really useful information I make a hard copy of it or buy the physical book and keep it in a end of world library.

For instance, I bought the lost ways book. Or put the whole thing in a dry cardboard box, not a metal container. Highly likely to have all kinds of weird currents caused in that scouring pad. Any container made of any material will do. Just be sure it is completely wrapped with foil. By the way, Mylar is not foil. Tin foil, aluminum foil, You know, the stuff you wrap your baked potato with.

You can also use wire kennels, Chain link or welded wire. Not so on your floor. The energy wave will rebound up through the floor unless it is just a slab of cement on the ground. If you have a metal garage, Park there and you should be fine. Most cars would be unaffected anyway. They are a kind of Faraday cage themselves.

May be some minor inconveniences but for the most part, most cars will withstand an EMP just fine. RE the cars , When I was younger fuel trucks would have a chain which would drag and ground out any static electritcity. Would this help our cars? A Faraday cage does not have to be grounded. In general, it is safer not to ground it; to even insulate it from ground.

Might help, might hurt. There are actually two different ways to block an EMP wave. A Faraday cage, which is better not grounded. A poor ground which a simple chain would be is unlikely to be an improvement. Cars do get hit by lightning. So do airplanes. Most survive the strike. I once witnessed a Mack truck have a 20, volt high wire drop onto it.

The truck and my fellow employee in the truck lived to tell about it. Even the CB radio still worked. Although the tires on the semi trailer and the Mack smoked briefly till the fuses in the electric lines blew.

The Semi hit the pole. My partner was behind it when the wire dropped. Not his fault. Because they used heavy cranes they had to have everything beefed up! The roof is tin and is help up by steel girders like you use on the highway.

We sometimes say that we live in partially built Faraday cage! I think a chest freezer or refrigerator with motor and internal plus eternal heat exchangers removed with aluminium foil grounded to the outside casing blocking gaps would be ideal for the job.

Even without modification because of the insulation by just placing items in a heavy duty bin liner would probably do the trick Simple but effective.

A microwave oven is a great Faraday cage. Perfect for the microwave frequencies. But not for the high frequencies involved with EMP. So it fails. Typically, the small holes in the door shield which allow you to see in are too large.

The radio test is just a basic proof of general concept. Commercial radio transmissions through the atmosphere are obviously not a good simulator of EMP or they would destroy many electronics within their transmission range as EMP would, when in fact they destroy none.

You just need to reduce the the EMR below the level that will damage electronics. If you want an example of what EMP will do to unprotected electronics, stick your cell phone in the microwave and run it for a few seconds. This fellow has gone to great lengths to test the validity of using a metal garbage can as a Faraday cage. I worked in a faraday cage. Just a wooden frame with copper screen 4 sides, top and bottom.

The seems were soldered, and the door had overlapped screen. I was only a couple miles from a few megawatts of RF and worked very well. Have you had any success yet with a faraday cage to sleep in? I am planning to build one for myself. To preference my qualifications I am an electrical contractor and trained by the Navy in electronics. I have devised some ways to test the effectiveness of a Faraday cage.

The idea id to block the pulse from going into the box. Take a simple RC toy and put it in the box testing it out before to assure it works.

With your controlling device and the enclosure secured try to operate the toy. If the toy functions with any of the controls the signal from a pulse will enter. The use of a radio may also serve only it must be set to AM. A battery of six or more volts will do well.

If you do then the pulse entered the box. The power level is small so if the signal enters at this level then the powerful pulse will also enter. I do hope this is of use to you. Hi Gramps…. Thank You. When we bought our house the previous owners left an early s fridge in the basement.

Works great. My cell phone gets no reception inside. Again, cell phone test is not reliable. Use AM radio instead. Refrigerators have an insulating strip around the door which results in a gap.

A Faraday cage must be a conductor all the way around, without gaps. Turns out that any straight line gap or even a non-conducting seam acts like an antenna, allowing the wave inside. I have several metal cans about 11 inches high and a diameter of 7 inches. The lids are tight fitting. Would they work as Faraday cages? If and only iff the seam between the lid and the can makes a good electrical connection. Otherwise, not. I have a few questions.

Do light bulbs, batteries and solar panels have to be in a faraday cage to be safe if there were an EMP? Also does a faraday cage have to be grounded? The answer is NO for all 4. Note that your invertor will fry — the solar panels will be fine. I am under the impression that solar chips, being semiconductors, are sensitive to E1 wave. Less so than miniaturized semiconductors, but still might fry. And if connected to unprotected wires which is usually true , then the E3 wave will likely take them out, just like anything else plugged in any way.

Really folks? If an EMP strike does occur, as the article says, nuclear war will follow. Nuclear war is NOT survivable. This is a simple proven scientific fact. The fallout from just one failed nuclear power plant is enough to destroy this country. There are over Nuclear power plants in this country today.

How many bombs do you think our enemies will launch? The hard cold reality is, You will die in a nuclear exchange. No amount of prepping will save you. Who the hell wants to live after a nuclear exchange anyway?

You are mistaken. Real fact is, radiation from a nuclear bomb different in character than a nuclear power plant has a short half-life. A couple weeks later the levels are no longer deadly. How many died from radiation in the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan? Far fewer than from the blasts. A nuclear power plant is a different matter. Both Russia and Japan have suffered from their failed plants.

But neither country is a unlivable wasteland either. You are suffering from cold war liberal propaganda better red than dead intended to induce surrender. You are leading me to question your credibility. Cardboard as an electical insulator? Cardboard was a fairly common insulator in the old old days of electronics.

You can build a crystal radio today out of cardboard toilet tubes. There are several folks who have posted their old fashioned diy projects on YouTube. Great projects for kids. Remember heathkits? Maybe old boy scout manuals?

I mean s. Boys used to be taught useful skills. Girls did too. No more. Which country was destroyed by Chernobyl? Right, none were.

Also EMP can occur for reasons other than full scale strategic nuclear war i. YouTube it. Many humans with frightening physical handicaps and abnormalities still alive today to testify. I believe they would consider their lives destroyed.

Yes that is what I was trying to convey. That parts of Belarus is uninhabitable and many lives destroyed. You refuse to fight,for personal survival and that is YOUR choice. Kudge not,lest you be judged. GREAT for keeping existing battery powered device usable….

Check out self powered Generators — They use a car alternator to power an electric motor to turn a generator — can probably use a 21 speed bicycle to get it started. We have put steel roofing on the house and are going to put steel siding on. Might work by blocking the wave and bleeding the power off into the ground. But only if the grounding is extraordinary, way beyond the usual small grounding straps.

To make it a true Faraday cage, it has to conduct on all surfaces, even the ground, and with no non-conductive gaps anywhere. So add a steel floor and make sure there are no non-conductive gaps even if almost zero size as such gaps act as antennas to bring the wave inside.

BIllH: The three that I have all have hard wood floors with steel support cross beams. Lay a floor with expanded metal or other mesh. Screen, etc. Attached to metal sides, Then cover with wood, plywood, etc. Another great article, very easy to follow. There was a very detailed article in the Michigan Engineer, the magazine of the University of Michigan school of engineering, issue before last. If the governments of the world are taking this seriously, maybe we should, too?

I purchased an aluminum briefcase at a garage sale the other day. It has foam padding inside. Would this be close to a faraday cage? Could it possibly be altered to make a good cage? Rule is, entire surface must conduct electricity without non-conductive gaps. When I tried to order the plans all I got was a blank page with a padlock on it. What is the deal???? Tin foil and cardboard box will work as will a metal garbage can with lid. However according to Arthur Bradley all seams need to be tapped over with aluminum tape or all can be lost.

I am liking the popcorn tin idea. Instead of lining the tin with cardboard could you put your electronic device in the tin in a cardboard box, like the one it was packaged in? What about those Computer anti-static bags? Would you be able to double or triple wrap your gear and have it work?

Wonder about possibility of making the garage a faraday cage. Plenty of shelving there to store lots of stuff that would be affected and could save the vehicle. Your Securi blocker does not let anyone type in the URL for this web page and access it!!! Thought you might like to know.

When you make one of these out of a trash can, popcorn tin and so on it mentions completely insulating the sides and lid to keep your electronics from touching the metal the way I understand it. In the comments, someone mentioned just wrapping your devices in tin foil. That seems contradictory.

Can you wrap your devices batt operated radio, scanner, old phone etc in several layers of foil or not? Not sure how old this article is, but figured I would give a shot to asking my question and someone maybe could help. In my opinion FAR too much time is spent on electronic protection.

So what if you save your radio? The broadcasting station will be damaged beyond use. So what if you save your cellphone? So what if you save your generator? Your radio with no channels, your cellphone that makes no calls? We are becoming slaves to technology if we have to protect our electronics before protecting ourselves!

But just my opinion! Yes, to what end? Nothing is worth saving that you have no need of! So stop using them NOW! We all will be better off with out the intelligence it provides them on us. If you can make your own fuel then the tractor and such equipment would be the only thing worth protecting. God, food, water and weapons will see you thru.

The causes of death would be indirect with regard to the cause of the gird failure. Starvation, conflict, death by exposure, etc. Water is a big one. Our pump I think is safe down feet in the well, but I have wanted to encase the pumphouse in cement for this very reason. Abd without a way to get that water up, we are lost.

We are on solar now. Of all the comments on this site yours, by far, makes the most sense and is indeed the most accurate. No need for electronics when preservation of life is really all that is needed.

Kudos on the well written post!!! Afternoon: I encourage the exchange of information and discussion for the sake of emergency preparedness. The suggestions illustrated here all try to answer the question of A , how to make an affordable faraday box to protect sensitive devices.

And B , how to make one that I can open and close. I would suggest multiple layers of defense. Use alternating layers of a faraday bag, heavy ziploc freezer bag, faraday bag, freezer…Etc. Hope this is helpful. I should have proof read my initial response before posting.

Use the metal container that you feel provides you with the best seal. Use the alternating layers of faraday bags and heavy ziploc freezer bags to cover each item in the metal metal container.

Multiple layers of defense gives you the best chance of protection. If one layer fails then you still have additional barriers to rely on. How well do dirt and water protect electronics from an EMP?

If I put backup electronic parts in Zip-Loc freezer bags to keep the electronics dry, and then I put the Zip-Loc bags into something to protect them from Diy Wood Projects With Scrap Wood Frame physical damage that might let water in, how deep underground or underwater would I need to put them to protect the electronics from an EMP? Think of Radio signals as waves. Anything in a sealed tin can will get fried if it is touching the metal of the tin can, so it must be insulated will in the can.

It must be completely isolated from the out side world and insulated from the metal walls on the inside. This is the most complete way I can describe the subject. You should be able to come up with a way to protect your electronic, but you can never use them, because in the event you are using them in the outside world and an EMP happens, its good bye for what ever is not isolated in the way I have described it.

Would someone care to comment on the use of reinforced aluminized fiberglass HVAC duct board to create a faraday cage if taped shut with conductive copper or aluminum tape with conductive adhesive. Figured that the prickly fiberglass could be sprayed with rubber sealer — more so for keeping fibers from your hands.

Another potential candidate for a faraday cage might be 55 Gallon Metal Drums kept vertical or horizontal with removable tops that can be clamped shut and taped along with any of the threaded metal openings taped.

Easy to line with spray rubber sealant or EPDM rubber roofing scraps or cardboard. Store gear inside in cardboard boxes? The pasta box mentioned all the extra things for the car but one or two.

Have your alternator set up to run using an external voltage regulator and keep an extra voltage regulator in a pasta box. The regulator is nothing more than a silicon chip.

The need to insulate the interior of the container is questionable. From day one starting in the 18th century, the Faraday cage concept was first observed by noting the apparent lack of any charged field on the inside of a non-insulated metallic container when the exterior of the container was electrified.

The charge flows around the outside not through the container to the interior, insulated or not. Trying the cell phone experiment, the phone still will not ring when place in a non-insulated metallic container even in direct contact with the pots metallic surface.
