Faraday cage - lessEMF

While browsing the website of lessEMF I saw that they offer complete
mesh Faraday cages, but of course they are quite expensive. So I thought
I could sew my own and save some money. But there are a few problems
with this:
- I have a husband and a dog and both like to be on the bed with me, so
I don't want to completely close myself off by a cage
- We could get the king size cage, but then the dog would be left out
and we don't want that
- I don't want to get entangled in the thing when at night I need to go
to the bathroom

So I was wondering if the fabric needs to reach to the floor, or that it
would be good enough if I make a construction that hangs around the
mattress, enclosing the bed, but doesn't reach the floor. Does anyone
have any experience with this or any good insights or tips? I really
need to know what I do before ordering the stuff, as it's a lot of money.

Cheers,
Rixta

Re: Faraday cage - lessEMF

I used to own one of those canopies. The problem I had was that the frequencies were coming up under the floor and entering the cage then I absorbed all of the radiation because it could not escape. I put a meter inside the cage and it just kept going higher and higher. When I went inside it went to almost zero because my body absorbed all of it.

So I decided to paint the room with paint and it did the same thing. If you are on the first floor you can paint the room and gell the windows or install double low e glass. But it will still leak

The problem with radio waves it that it reflects. off walls and metal. The really only way to make a good bedroom is to put RF absorption foam on the walls. The radiation is absorbed. It's a lot of money but how much is your life worth.

What kind of rf foam is that? Is there a brand? thx.

Another thing worth trying, and much cheaper, is
crumpled aluminum foil. Use thin foil, crumple,
an stretch it out again so it is sort of flat but very
wrinkly. If the microwaves are strong and pulsed the crumpled foil will
actually make sound!

You should be able to block microwaves with a partial screen,
but if there is dirty power it can be worse near the edges.
Foil under the mattress, somehow well bonded to the screen
could be worth trying (double metalized frame with mesh secured
between the two?).

See how you do with the electricity off. If that is a big improvement,
focus on cleaning up the power.

This makes some sense, but I wonder if others had different
experiences? I could try to cover all the walls of the bedroom with
special shielding cloth, but that would also be expensive, and a lot of
work. Anyone tried that?
I looked at the website where they sell the foam and that's not an
option for me, as they only deliver in the USA and Canada, and I happen
to live in Australia.

Cheers,

Hi Rixta,

There is a nice low cost absorber in sheet form:
