When it comes to unexpected disasters or emergencies, it is hard to compete with Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP). We usually called EMP as Transient Electromagnetic Disturbance. An Electromagnetic Pulse could be the worst-case scenario when it comes to emergencies. Well, you need a faraday cage at your home to protect your electric devices and appliances from the electromagnetic pulse.

A faraday cage is a shield that protects your electronics and appliances at home from Electromagnetic Pulse. A faraday cage is made of conductive materials that provide protection to your electric device from EMP and electric explosion. EMP can destroy your electric devices like computers, mobiles, TV, fridge, machines, blender, oven, power plants, engines, and solar plants. EMP can destroy every electric device. An electromagnetic pulse occurs when a bomb or a nuclear material explodes in the atmosphere above the land. The symptoms of the EMP can be seen far away from the explosion. In these situations, a faraday cage can protect your electric devices from the explosion. But, some people think that it provides 100% protection to the electric device. This is not true. It can protect your device to some extent. If you think that only an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) can damage your products, then you are mistaken. The sun can also do the same damage to our electric devices. The sun can damage our devices in the form of a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). As the sun ejects the coronal mass rays which are harmful to electric devices and engines.

When it comes to protection, you want to build a shield for your expensive devices. Well, the good news is you can make a faraday cage for yourself. You do not need a blacksmith all the time for the making of the shield. You can protect your appliances from the effect of fifty thousand (50, 000) volts of electricity.

You can make a faraday cage at home. You can learn how to make it, right here in this article. Here are some simple steps of making a faraday cage on your own.

- The accessories you will need are a cardboard box, 3 – 4 rolls of heavy aluminum foil, and a galvanized steel trash can.

- Aluminum foil is inexpensive and easy to find. You can buy from any nearest tool’s store. Moreover, it is inexpensive; however, anyone can buy it to make his own a faraday cage. Well, the use of aluminum foil is the easiest way to protect your electronics. You just need 3 – 4 rolls of HD aluminum foils. Cover the device with aluminum foil you want to protect. Make a minimum of 3 layers of HD Aluminum foil on each side of the device. The HD aluminum foil will protect your electric device from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) and Coronal Mass Ejection (CME).

- When you cover your device with three layers of aluminum foil, it is more than enough to protect it from EMP. There is no need of any other layer. But, do remember that two or one layers of foil sheet are not enough. You should use a minimum of three layers.

- Another way of making your Faraday shield is to take a cardboard box, cover it with foil. Of course, with the three layers of foils sheet. Place this box in a galvanized steel that can cover it with a lid. This your faraday cage. You can place any electronic in this cage to protect it from EMP.

- Moreover, you can wrap your cage with plastic sheets. You can use a piece of cloth to wrap your device and cage.
