Did a search but could not find a post on Faraday bags. Looking for a quality one preferably made in America.
follow the pros - the military don't have a use for them - they know the enhanced EMP nukes will be hunting them down deep into the bunkers - a static bag is a joke against that kind of weapon .....
Be advised, a Faraday bag only attenuates the pulse. A metal, ungrounded enclosure is the only safe bet here.
Mission Darkness Faraday Bags It's better than nothing, but only if you use the highest quality bags which have been tested. I use them and it's because they are inexpensive insurance. A Faraday cage is ideal, but if you use the bags in conjunction with the cage, that's also fine even if arguably not required. The thing is, these bags are really initially designed to keep signals from escaping, (to prevent a mobile device from communicating with cell towers). I wouldn't fully trust every bag against a very strong EMP, and some of them do offer some protection...but I don't think the studies have been done to confirm the efficacy of these less expensive and quality "Faraday" bags. Even these Mission Darkness bags will "help protect" your device, but they will not absolutely EMP-proof your items inside.
I understand how the Faraday cage works in the case that there's an EMP attack. All I want is a faraday bag for the key fobs and cell phones that keep them from being tracked. Somewhat piece of mind if you will.
Maybe.... two bags, one inside the other, with an aluminum foil bag between them? DIY to whatever size you need.
Are those antistatic (?) bags delicate electronics are shipped in good for anything? They are kinda opaque and silvery.
They are a carbon infused mylar but are useless for the purposes of this discussion. They are designed to be conductive enough to keep the pins and protrusions of the circuit board at equal voltage to reduce static build up while in storage or during transport or handling.
A close friend travels a lot for work and his employer gave him a GODARK bag for his phone and laptop. It stops any call, email or notification when in the bag. As a simple test, I put an AM/FM radio in the bag, and it worked. Not sure why but assuming different frequencies. Any thoughts or ideas as to why it would stop the cell signal but not radio?
The bag is attenuating the outgoing cell signal enough that the tower isn't receiving the "here I am" handshake from the phone, thus the call can't be delivered.
