dürfte nix passieren wenn die drinnen sitzende person den käfig von innen anfässt oder? die Ladung sitzt ja an der außenseite des käfigs?!

How do you build a Home Built Faraday Cage to go against H.a.a.r.p. frequencys

The people of earth are grateful to these stupid gayrmans for re-discovering America LOL

hahah i have a 1,5 million volts lightning simulator, 1,5 meters of thick lightnings!

@highwayhokie no rubber doesnt conduct electricity. but a lightning bolt will have no problem jumping from the metal of the car to the ground...considering that it just jumped from the cloud to car

@debunker1905 No it can't as far as I know. When you energize the cage, the whole cage has the same potential, there will be no potential difference between the sides of the cage. So all the electricity will stay on the outside of the cage and there's no charge on the inside.

@ibcnunabi......so the tires do conduct electricty? Even if it is not raining and there is a freak bolt of lightning?
-
yeah, but how many amps? it's the amps that kill

awesome
they didn't show the part where the guy inside crapped his pants

A Faraday cage can be made of wire mesh or perforated/solid metal which is grounded. It works by totally dissipating any electrical field applied to it. It's only limited by the amount of electricity that the wires in the mesh are capable of conducting.
This is really why your car is the safest place if you're out in an electrical storm. (Nothing to do with rubber tires; that's a myth.) Your car acts roughly as a Faraday cage, despite the windows creating large openings in it.
