This may well be the best Faraday cage you can make on the cheap and the best Faraday cage at any price. I'm not saying that to brag but I really believe in this design. If you are at all concerned about protecting your electronic equipment from either a man made or solar EMP please consider making a Faraday storage cabinet like this. The cabinet cost me $100, the tape $32 and the aluminum insulation was free. You might be able to make this Faraday cage for less if you stop by construction sites and get left over aluminum insulation and ask for thirteen feet of aluminum duct tape.

What you need to place in your Faraday cage is a diesel generator so that, when that EMP goes off, you can sell electricity at whatever price you set.
You’ll be a rich man in a liveless world.

Useful prepper stuff about building a useful Faraday cage re EMP pulse hazard etc.
I love y’all.
Please be prayerful . . . walk close to God . . . be safe in His arms in all such matters day by day . . . cue song . . . Day by Day . . .

Why bother?
Surely there will be marauding bands of teenagers and sports fans who will come and take your radio from you!

And that ground needs to be CLOSE to your cage, or else it will act as an antenna for EMP.
The problem with this setup is, there is really no way to test it. We don’t know if it will work at all.

I don’t think a Faraday Cage is sufficient to stop an EMP.I believe you need a mu-metal cage, to block the magnetic part of the pulse.

If your home is already grounded, as it should be per building codes, you can ground your cabinet to it.
