Re: Sheathes packing bursting for long term storage

My grab-bag is designed for the city, so things never get that desperate.

My main concern is what to replace them with as they keep bursting and only in two nested bags !

How can they not tolerate that kind of long term storage ?

Sheathes packing bursting for long term storage

I have been unlucky with the Durex brand of sheathes for long term storage in a grab-bag. Sold in boxes of three, twice in a row now I have returned (well before their BBE date has been reached) to find one of the packets having burst, with the lubricant leaving a mess on everything around it. The p...

Nope.

Just another advert for Socialism though.

Re: EMP baking tray Faraday cage

Grounding doesn't do anything you need. The whole point of a Faraday box is to protect what is inside of it, like the experiments with the person inside the cage protected from the lightning bolts generated outside of it. If you have anything with a radio then it may be on the safe side to prevent c...

Re: EMP baking tray Faraday cage

Benjamin Franklin's experiments from 1755 showed that an externally charged container would be internally shielded. The only reason to add a non-conductive interior lining would be to shield antennas e.g. walkie-talkie. Further, the shielding of metal woven fabric is not as reliable as a solid condu...

Re: EMP baking tray Faraday cage

Thanks for the link !

I wonder then, should I place my SSDs/HDDs in an ESD bag, so that after opening the Faraday case, the transfer of static is resisted.

I suppose, before I open the box, even for routine access, I would clasp a radiator with my hand ?

Re: EMP baking tray Faraday cage

Many thanks for the replies. To earth the system I could just leave it on the ground floor. Although, that wouldn't necessarily make it "work better", only prevent me from getting a shock, after an event. The thing difficult thing for me is to measure the level of dB protection that a DIY ...
