  2. Faraday cage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage

    The reception or transmission of radio waves, a form of electromagnetic radiation, to or from an antenna within a Faraday cage is heavily attenuated or blocked by the cage; however, a Faraday cage has varied attenuation depending on wave form, frequency, or the distance from receiver or transmitter, and receiver or transmitter power.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_shielding

    March 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this message) Electromagnetic shielding cages inside a disassembled mobile phone . In electrical engineering , electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing or redirecting the electromagnetic field (EMF) in a space with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials.

  4. Aluminium foil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_foil

    Aluminium foil (or aluminum foil in American English; occasionally called tin foil) is aluminium prepared in thin metal leaves. The foil is pliable and can be readily bent or wrapped around objects. Thin foils are fragile and are sometimes laminated with other materials such as plastics or paper to make them stronger and more useful.

  5. Tin foil hat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin_foil_hat

    A tin foil hat is a hat made from one or more sheets of tin foil or aluminium foil, or a piece of conventional headgear lined with foil, often worn in the belief or hope that it shields the brain from threats such as electromagnetic fields, mind control, and mind reading.

  6. Monopole antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopole_antenna

    Due to their omnidirectional radiation pattern, vertical monopole antennas are commonly used in terrestrial radio communication systems in which the direction to the transmitter or receiver is unknown or constantly changing, [7] such as broadcasting, mobile two-way radios, and wireless devices like cellphones and Wi-Fi networks, [8] [4] because they radiate equal radio power in all horizontal ...

  7. Radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation

    Symbol for radio waves . Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum longer than infrared light. Like all other electromagnetic waves, they travel at the speed of light. Naturally occurring radio waves are made by lightning, or by certain astronomical objects.

  8. Project Echo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Echo

    The balloon was constructed from a 9 μm (0.00035 in)-thick mylar film sandwiched between and bonded with two layers of 4.5 μm (0.00018 in)-thick aluminum foil. [11] It was inflated to a pressure that caused the metal layers of the laminate to plastically deform slightly, while the polymer was still in the elastic range.

  9. Fixed-target experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-target_experiment

    The energy involved in a fixed target experiment is 4 times smaller compared to that in collider with the dual beams of same energy. [5] [6] More over in collider experiments energy of two beams is available to produce new particles, while in fixed target case a lot of energy is just expended in giving velocities to the newly created particles.
