Do Tinfoil Hats Really Block Your Brain Waves - Featuring the OCZ NIA Linus Tech Tips

[cerneofficial]

it's like futurama.

[henrykeith69]

linus you're freakin awesome

[sweeetly]

Trouble is,aluminum can cause insanity. so if your gonna wear the hat, get tin.

[stayjit1]

I tried a tinfoil hat. It didn't work. I still hear the little voices say "...find an ax...find an ax..."

[therealdriftcore]

I have to say that I don't agree with this test, since the NIA detects signals across the surface of you skin through detecting ionic potential (electroencephalography and electromyography) putting anything between your head and the NIA will mess up or reduce the signal that it makes. Any mind reading satelites (or mind reading radar-gun-style devices) will be reading electromagnetic waves, you should use a different method for testing against the foils effectiveness. Still a good video though.

[MBsaturnus]

its Velostat...not tinfoil....Velostat, multiple sheets...one sheet of regular tinfoil wont do shit !!!

and its not about the Government, but Alien Abduction...the Grey Aliens (from Zeta Reticuli) use very sophisticated technology which we perceive as "telepathy" to render people unable to move and also to make them forget the abduction. so you use multiple sheets of Velostat on the inside of any kind of helmet.

[tropophyte]

@MBsaturnus I always thought that the telepathy was the Christians. As Jesus said, Christians are not of this world. However, they may be the aliens playing god and making believers of the Christians.

Your vid is popular on Ottawa

[kimtorres613]

Your vid is popular on Kabul

[MysterSigh]

... 666 likes and 30 dislikes... I have nothing more to say.

[matthewgroen]

@MysterSigh Thanks for the update Sherlock =) haha

[niamh2739]

I wonder if this device can help to actually train the mind to amplify its own wave signals kind of like working out a muscle?

[extragunbon]

Does the average man/woman even have any thoughts worth reading? =)

[pete5668]

What if you were to put multiple layers of foil, say 30 layers? Would that increase the hat's efficiency in blocking the waves?

[bactrian89]

Here is how you make sure they never read your mind. Just don't think at all, play only videogames. It works fine for me :p

[barnone11967]

want to know about weather control? Go to the U.N official website and in the search bar, enter the following "U.N. resolution 31/72". Enjoy ! ! !

[iErxr]

haha, what an awesome satire. :P

[kimi625]

damn you look stupid xD

[AimingAtYou]

this guy has to much free time :P Great video still :)

[tttt36]

so now we know who hacked his channel it were men in blac suits !!! THAA SECRET SERVICE!

[RYOh91]

hahaha man you look like an elf

[mainenwo]

@LinusTechTips try using Heavy duty Aluminum foil.... what your using seems to be thin get some Reynolds wrap Heavy duty

[king65462]

WAT A FUCKING IDIOT

[Ducksongstoned]

This is the most stoner linus video

[h3liumTV]

little jump's of brain activity :D good one Linus :P

[PiereRodriges]

ахуенная работа хуйней заниматься и бабло получать..

[ethan1el]

You can see his "pad" go up everytime he moves his left eyebrow.

[ethan1el]

The really funny things, that those "mindreading" devices don't really read the brain waves. They just read the electricity that goes through your muscles.

So, that's why it doesn't work if it doesn't touch the skin.

[Loustechworld]

I Knew this day would come! Best wishes Linus... forward all mail to Asylum!

[97aidancd]

im pretty sure the government doesn't or can't even read our minds........

[genericfakeaccount]

@97aidancd actually dude they can its common knowledge there is a piece of technology called HAARP it states in the patent it can plant thoughts in peoples brain by targeting any individual look it up if you dont believe me.

[S1lv3rblad3]

@genericfakeaccount Isn't HAARP supposed to be a weather manipulation program?

[seba3001]

@S1lv3rblad3 yup you'r right

[TheSokratez]

Drugs aren´t good!

[Ducksongstoned]

@TheSokratez Some drugs are medications but in your world those arnt good

[josephdupont]

are you really for real?

If this true.. why not re run this.. and us more coverage???

[cusanusnicolas]

I used to wear foil lining in my cap when I attended K12 meetings for a public school in Montana. The admin progeny and proteges would engage in animated discussions about forcing preachers to watch their pornography that they'd developed for use in public schools. During the same period, the daughter of a family friend was raped by a staff dandy with a daddy in admin. No doubt there were others over many years. I think the cap worked, since I don't work there anymore.

[DemoGP]

He is so gangsta.

[westin1985]

actually the low frequency rf radiation alters the blood flow in the brain. It does so by interfereing with the brains natural ability to regulate blood flow to different parts of the brain. If you decrease blood flow to certain critical areas of the cortex, this will inhibit your ability to perform a thought function such as writing, speaking, math, logical reasoning. You may be impulsive , easily angered, difficulty organizing, or just tired n groggy. RF exposure must be many hours.

[andysim232]

my brain dont work anyway so theres nothing to read =)

[MrSharkanism]

3:17 You can clearly see on the monitor, that Linus lied. The red box says "Linus is lying.. bzzp... The video he's taking is going to be uploaded on LinusTechTips... bzzp." It can forecast the future :O

[xyxstradus]

it just sorta nulls it

[Wookie1234567]

OCZ was trying to read your thoughts?

[ILoveYouMore2010]

Try more layers to mimic the effectiveness of the tin toil.

Also better coverage from the more layers.

I use 4-5 layers in my head ache cap. Works great.

[LordGaltus]

haha awesome

[topfuelfan]

Some of your best work yet !

[Lefty6767]

Thx for the tip linus

[Wilyes]

The next day linus was gone.

[Eekhoornstaartlolly]

@Wilyes replaced by a hairdying robot

[syauqiachmad]

its a total fake !!!

its not your brain linus !!

there should be porn stuff or something

[25magus]

i wonder if Linus feels like he's being watched?

[AgnusDeiCA]

20 people are working for the government

[mrCornTozz]

@AgnusDeiCA 21 now..

[poida84]

you have gone little weird there linus

[Viscoscist]

im disappointed,Linus,I expected you to act more crazy

[sykoben]

THANK YOU !!!!!!

[HzNehalem]

Ahá!!! It was true!! The alluminium paper also protects to you against Aliens power. HAHAHAHA This is once the greatest video you have made ever, Linus!!! HAHAHA

Then you have demostrated that thousands of people, that uses alluminium hats; are not wrong.

[CamCon586]

i just have one question where can i get one of the brain wave gaming headband.

[willlewis77]

@CamCon586 newegg has them

[sthier24]

So what's the answer?

[Repter75]

You should have had a control with a paper hat

[free2question]

rofl

[KoolCordell]

WOW i thought you forgot about this product did it take you this long to finally master it?

[buzzhonky]

Well, if it's not TIN foil then it won't work. Aluminum was forced as a substitute because the tin actually does block the waves.

[pcgames234]

i thought NIA meant Not.In.Action

[ssinn]

@pcgames234 your mixed up with MIA. Missing In Action

[pcgames234]

@ssinn i know haha

[suppersoccerjock]

there is no such thing as tin foil it was always aluminum

now you can say that you learned something today

[nathan42100]

What is the nia+? is there new software? The hardware itself doesn't look any different...

[Godseyes]

hahaha linus what a guy

[drKlitzman]

Linus are you high? And TIN FOIL HAT GIVE AWAY!

[ManufacturedLack]

You people must be crazy.

The hat needs to be cone shaped not rounded.

[The1PublicEnemy]

Linus! i have a problem with my SSD the space is decreasing almost every time i turn it on! it goes from 35gb approximately down to 34.5gb approximately and keeps going down! HELP! i ran C Cleaner for registry errors and used the cleanup utility, ran virus scans, deleted stuff off of it. HELP!

[FriedenDurchWissen]

weed helps to ;)

[thedarkone123123]

this looks stupid. im glad i just skimmed it

[rachaelcryxk11]

hes not playing the game with his mind. he took the head piece off and the game continued to play. FAKE

[kjh2196]

@rachaelcryxk11 You're stupid or what?! He is playing against computer, WTF. The one moving is the computer and you see the left side one is not moving, because he is not wearing the head piece. Think before you comment.

[TheBekul]

@rachaelcryxk11

You... didn't watch the video, did you? The paddle he was controlling stopped moving. You have serious paying attention issues.

[fishcomputer33]

@rachaelcryxk11 .... no it didnt.

[ccsstorm]

16 peoples are working for government !

[mupet00000]

Hah nice nice

[Kurdestar]

ncix techtips? not Linustechtips? or Linusdoinglolthingstips xD you looked like an idiot with this hat and the black "brainwasher" xD

[nanuandres]

hahaha u're crazy man! u're the boss hahahaha xD

[SunTzu1983]

And remember! To have the shiny part exposed, for this is the most reflective part of the foil. To add extra protection, use another layer of foil to have the shiny part pointing toward the head, to further isolate brain wave signals.

[SunTzu1983]

LinusSecurityTips

LinusProtectionTips

LinusEvasionTips

[Hilariousity]

of course they do, why do you think Alex Jones wheres them everywhere he goes

[FoShoMatt]

is this a spoof

[MrJetjoe]

the problem is not trying to read your mind, they are bombarding your brain with microwave and raido signels that are trying to control you and your behaver try using brass screen mat. insted of foil. basicly a fraiday cage will block all of these.

[baabaablaksheep]

bwaahahahaha, this is awesome funny

[COLDB33R]

Good on you for pointing out that tin foil hats are not really tin but aluminum. A lot of people ignore that glaringly obvious error. Anyway you would expect Al to make a better Faraday cage than Sn because it conducts better.

What you got wrong is the reason for wearing the Chapeau de Paranoia. Only an idiot thinks that the government wants to read their mind. Or maybe a complete genius who might have brainwaves worth reading. The hat is meant to keep extraterrestrial control signals OUT!

[Zseloth]

Sadly NIA (Neural impulse actuator) doesent read your brainwave patterns. :P only electric signals that brains sends to to the rest of the body. You should try this with real EEG equipment meant for mind tricking with computer.

[TheJuanguitar]

Linus , you look like a crazy hippie with that hat XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[xXsparda92Xx]

Man this is really epic XD

[G00SE216]

0:01. Perfect moment for a WTF BOOM!

[tonytober]

If you understand what I mean, it's to prevent the kids to watch the bad videos that are posted on the internet...

[radwiimp]

i love you linus

[BrixXSM]

Clean your damn desk dude. D=

[n0neCheaper]

Is that a roll of toilet paper next to the V8 can? Work Fap?

[Khomitsar]

@n0neCheaper lol xD

[trash4144]

Interesting theory, are you from California?

[J4rden]

So thats what serious people are doing after work, huh?:)

[printeh]

This was uncalled for, Linus.

[galuple]

I know that tinfoil on your android phone stops google from knowing all about you.

[MrNoskas]

Linus is not smoking pot. ITS HIS iPHONE FAULT. He is going mad!

[SuccessXS]

dude.........lol

[cads92]

He shuts down his brain when wearing tinfoil helmet so fake... saw Reese do it in "Malcolm in the middle"

[Vitail1986]

dont smoke dope ^^

[lustigmaennchen]

I tested it, the OCZ Revo Drive boots up Windows as same fast as the crucial C300! :D

Nice Vid linus, but you look... mjaa - different.. ;D

Sry for the English guys :P

[DarknesSoldier]

omg i laughed so hard when he put tinfoil on his head :D

[Angelofthedevil1]

Thats only in the US inus

[tndrckr]

linus be careful the camera man might be up to somethin id wear that thing

[batmayn123]

Dont pause at 2:14

[tndrckr]

@batmayn123 217 is a little bit better

[Technofan23]

lol you are looking so funy with this stupid hat

[situsrc]

LinusTinfoilTips

[max5635]

WTF? LOL XD

[AzNsEnSaT1oN]

and he gets paid for doing this. epic

[daro2096]

Wasn't a valid experient because you didn't use tin foil.

[growingneeds]

I must be hallucinating....

[brett1234]

this dude is blitzed!

[theharris64]

LOL



[mastermindzh]

Linus, Your job must be awesome if the boss doesn't mind you doing this...

anyways pretty awesome

[Fallacy99]

Beam me up Scotty!!!!

[lhf1995]

OMG Haven't seen the 2900 XT box for a while lol

[sysel777]

Next time, you should make a tutorial "How to build an UFO" :) haha :)

[sneakerset]

@sysel777 Hmmmm....that's been done before. The "Heaven's Gate" UFO cult published the tutorial "How to build a UFO".....from such mundane items as old tires. Three of the cult members even had a start-up (ADG)company... doing work for the U.S. Army.(source:Wikidocs).Thanks,­Linus....and I'll pass this video along to the gang at the state mental hospital. P.S. You forgot to put the little twirl on the top of the hat.....

[YunGDo67]

loooooooool

[LoLenzis]

rofl

[Danzinger]

please do more videos like this, they are a hilarious break from your hardware reviews

[TrickOStaz]

i dont get it hows this funny?

[4g63fourlife]

@TrickOStaz Thats probably because your a republican....

[netcom65]

12 people are working for the government

[danorambo]

LOL

[papas182]

i loled so hard

[vh2k]

I have no words to describe my thoughts right now, maybe you should read them Linus

[kurukq]

you look like that kid from hook

[MyAussieDay]

There is no point reading your mind Linus--All they will get is How fast is this video card.....

[klau8888]

Have you considered using multiple layers of aluminum foil to test if it's possible to block all signal transmission?

[iwhitecastle]

DONT SMOKE CRACK

[xenon5508]

...............LinusHatTips?

[mtesm]

and that children is why you don't drink and work.

[deadmanavir]

@mtesm huhhh .... why ???

[Xylensonic]

can i use OCZ NIA in COD Black Ops multi player? xD that will be fun !! my brain say *headshot that mamapaker* *headshot that mamapaker* *headshot that mamapaker* hahahaha!!

[Roflbrowser]

Next linus video: How to avoid getting abducted by unknown alien lifeforms.

[apache249]

The tin foil shielding actually works!!! Lol

[SunTzu1983]

Very interesting Linus, very interesting. Maybe the Muslims have tin foil under their turbans for that very reason. ;)

[lestat692k8]

ocz lmao that was funny

[vip3r100x]

dam linus u crazy

[ZHX1138]

That is really cool.

[INurHome]

Great video guys. Really great. At the end you mentioned this is a NCIX tech tips video....might want to correct that. I don't think NCIX wants to be "officially" associated with anything that you guys were doing that night.

[UseDaForce]

I'm quite certain the decreased brain activity is a result of the pot you smoked before turning the camera on.

[1901qwerty1901]

hay Linus what do you think of the new i7 x 995

[rounce55]

canada doesn't do that...

[armydawg1292]

@rounce55 cuz canada is cool and america isnt. and im an american..... yea cmon everyone flame me i said it.

[TheKrazydreams]

@armydawg1292 Move to Canada then.

[intru3d]

great.. linus is now a mythbuster~

[animatahr]

Im gonna wear one for the rest of my life starting tomorrow.

[llollercoaster]

Too bad those things don't actually read "brain waves" to function. It's all dependent on the muscles in your forehead moving it. Any hat the thickness of the tin foil will have the same effect.

[paradoxdesigns]

i wear mine 24/7. its a little weird when i microwave things though.

[tyrt100]

does he mean the Canadian government? :O

[lucasfotoo]

jajajajajaj

[kyle7412]

what is that thing linus is using ?

[Jallandhara]

@kyle7412 How is being a newfag working out for you, newfag?

[kyle7412]

@Jallandhara ?????

[MrGENOCIDEGeorge]

@Jallandhara gb2/b/

[irazmin2]

myth Confirmed..

[adamcbowen1]

You should just quit NCIX and work for mythbusters...

[Gangiro]

Only me that find it funny that he do this during the night?

[deathrow989]

lmfao linus, nice vid

[vipertron]

"...I was not able successfully block OCZ"

[apache249]

WTF Linus! :D

[GarrettBMXes]

LOL FUCK YEAH LOL
