mircea_popescu: but i still can't be arsed to do the actual math for it, so whatevs.
mircea_popescu: no, i just said that i would expect on the basis of guesswork for indium -group metals to work out as the thinnest functional mesh
jurov: and you imagined your monitor emits x-rays for nsa to spy on and started considering shielding foir these?
mircea_popescu: well that's what it was, some derps came out with what struck me on first sight as a sort of "gasoline saving magnets", ie these superthin meshes that'll "protect your monitor from nsa spying"
mircea_popescu: there's a minimal thickness as a function of the material involved that can be used.
jurov: oooh that, you want to shield these. oook.
mircea_popescu: anyways. the original discussion was about how you can't make a mesh arbitrarily fine and expect it to still shield anything.
jurov: you mentioned yest nuclear cross-sections, they do apply to EUV and x-rays
mircea_popescu: and you were going to distinguish between far uv and close x-rays on some sort of a basis. other than "cuz i say 3*10^16 and fu"
jurov: but we're going rather far. the original discussion was about shielding microwaves from radio transmission, cellphones etc.
jurov: beause the field isn't DC but AC
jurov: at the same time also radiates electromagnetic waves as photos
jurov: the field does. for example the tesla coil causes strong electromagnetic field, which causes surrounding matter to ionise and get electrically charged
mircea_popescu: and plox don't tell me it's the shape.
jurov: but otherwise it does not allow radio frequencies in (when built to spec)
mircea_popescu: what is the difference between ungrounded faraday cage and dipole antenna ?
jurov: ungrounded faraday cage tends to get charged, which is not easily detectable from within, untill you open it, get out, and touch the ground
jurov: the EM field induces currents in the conductors, which cancel it. no need to drain these anywhere
mircea_popescu: you have to be able to drain the flow.
mircea_popescu: the problem of penetration isn't the only consideration here. what you're saying is akin to the proposition that a cpu is only hot on the surface, so only a fool would connect it to 5kg of copper.
jurov: these requencies don't penetrate deeper
jurov: ofc, you're welcome to shield your walls with 2mm solid metal. the salesman prolly won't tell you that only first few micrometers count for the nastiest stuff like GSM anyway
jurov: faraday cage works ungrounded either
mircea_popescu: an arbitrarily thin filament of an arbitrary length is NOT grounded merely on the grounds that you connected it to a pipe somewhere.
BingoBoingo: As of this week gotta be concerned about leaky emissions on the million meter spectrum.
jurov: but the shielding material necessary is markedly different
