Abstract
Among a fringe community of paranoids, aluminum helmets serve as the protective measure of choice against invasive radio signals. We investigate the efficacy of three aluminum helmet designs on a sample group of four individuals. Using a $250,000 network analyser, we find that although on average all helmets attenuate invasive radio frequencies in either directions (either emanating from an outside source, or emanating from the cranium of the subject), certain frequencies are in fact greatly amplified. These amplified frequencies coincide with radio bands reserved for government use according to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). Statistical evidence suggests the use of helmets may in fact enhance the government's invasive abilities. We theorize that the government may in fact have started the helmet craze for this reason.
Introduction
It has long been suspected that the government has been using satellites to read and control the minds of certain citizens. The use of aluminum helmets has been a common guerrilla tactic against the government's invasive tactics [1]. Surprisingly, these helmets can in fact help the government spy on citizens by amplifying certain key frequency ranges reserved for government use. In addition, none of the three helmets we analyzed provided significant attenuation to most frequency bands.
We describe our experimental setup, report our results, and conclude with a few design guidelines for constructing more effective helmets.
Experimental Setup
The three helmet types tested:
The Classical
The Fez
The Centurion
We evaluated the performance of three different helmet designs, commonly referred to as the Classical, the Fez, and the Centurion. These designs are portrayed in Figure 1. The helmets were made of Reynolds aluminium foil. As per best practices, all three designs were constructed with the double layering technique described elsewhere [2].
A radio-frequency test signal sweeping the ranges from 10 Khz to 3 Ghz was generated using an omnidirectional antenna attached to the Agilent 8714ET's signal generator.
A network analyser (Agilent 8714ET) and a directional antenna measured and plotted the signals. See Figure 2.
Because of the cost of the equipment (about $250,000), and the limited time for which we had access to these devices, the subjects and experimenters performed a few dry runs before the actual experiment (see Figure 3).
The receiver antenna was placed at various places on the cranium of 4 different subjects: the frontal, occipital and parietal lobes. Once with the helmet off and once with the helmet on. The network analyzer plotted the attenuation betwen the signals in these two settings at different frequencies, from 10Khz to 3 Ghz. Figure 4 shows a typical plot of the attenuation at different frequencies.
Results
For all helmets, we noticed a 30 db amplification at 2.6 Ghz and a 20 db amplification at 1.2 Ghz, regardless of the position of the antenna on the cranium. In addition, all helmets exhibited a marked 20 db attenuation at around 1.5 Ghz, with no significant attenuation beyond 10 db anywhere else.
Conclusion
The helmets amplify frequency bands that coincide with those allocated to the US government between 1.2 Ghz and 1.4 Ghz. According to the FCC, These bands are supposedly reserved for ''radio location'' (ie, GPS), and other communications with satellites (see, for example, [3]). The 2.6 Ghz band coincides with mobile phone technology. Though not affiliated by government, these bands are at the hands of multinational corporations.
It requires no stretch of the imagination to conclude that the current helmet craze is likely to have been propagated by the Government, possibly with the involvement of the FCC. We hope this report will encourage the paranoid community to develop improved helmet designs to avoid falling prey to these shortcomings.
My......government........hat.......works.......fine.
Bump...for further reading when locked in the shelter
Well, you can spot the problem right off. They forgot to line the helmets with the requisite double layer (cross-directional application) of duct tape! Duhh! Everybody knows that! Sheesh, I hope these students aren't on a scholarship.
I can't remember how we're supposed to use the new Reynold's "Release" foil. Is the non stick side to be worn in or out? I keep gettting confused on that. Or perhaps it is to be avoided all together?
You have to use gaffer's tape, not duct tape

It's always worked well for me........end if Theta communication in 3....2....1.....

LOL!
This nonsense about the government controlling your mind is absolutely silly. However, when you wake up and find that your feet have been switched ... that's serious. Help!
Didn't you get the memo? The new "Release" foil is a plot to weaken the seams of tightly wrapped foil. Don't be fooled!
Okay, what planet are you from? Or better yet, what government agency do you work for, hmmm? Come on, fess up! And don't try any of your mind control radio voodoo on me. I am wearing the correct style helmet as I type this, and my computer station is completely shielded as well, so...
The shiny side goes IN. Unless you fear they may be using convection radio waves. In this case, place the release side out as usual, but cover the area with porkchops, boneless, of course. Make your government work FOR you. Cooking with foil and foiling government conspiracies 101.

Is it true a person can test an aluminum hat by placing it, and his head, in a modified microwave oven? If so, what timer setting should be used?
I like to secure my AFDB with muffler tape to prevent accidental dislodgement.
They forgot the yarmulke style. Sloppy research and possibly anti-semitic as well.
This is a ridiculous article.
*Everybody* that knows anything about Evil Government Mind Control Ops knows that aluminum does -not- work.
It must be TIN in order to deflect the Mind Control Rays.
[now quit kidding yourselves and go to a flea market and find some old tin colanders or buckets]....;D
Did it work?....:)

...NSA COMMUNICATION ENDS...
1. Get a five foot sheet of aluminum foil (standard one foot wide Reynolds Wrap brand will do nicely.)
2. Fold the sheet four times into five equal segments so that you end up with a 1x1 foot square, making sure that you fold over the dull side of the foil leaving the square shiny on both sides.
3. Use scissors to cut from one corner of the square to the center, making a straight line.
4. Bend the foil from one side of the cut under the other, making a slight cone. Again, make sure that the outside of the cone has a shiny side of the foil; this is VERY important.
5. Place the cone on your head and squash the top and sides to make it fit snugly.
6. Apply Scotch tape liberally making sure to secure the cut in the foil and any form-fitting creases made in step 5.
Foil Thickness:
How thick is your aluminum foil? Find out using the ZPi Aluminum Foil Thickness Calculator (pops up into separate window, requires Javascript). If you do not have Javascript, use this formula (with grams and centimeters):
((mass / 2.702) / (width * length)) * 10000 = thickness in microns
If your foil is less than 16 microns, increase the number of layers used in construction.
Optional:
You may augment your AFDB with random bits of foil, wire, small electronic parts, etc..
Canadian coins should also be considered as they are high in nickel content. Nickel, while not having the psychotronic deflecting properties of aluminum (or even tin), can act to refract psychotronic beams, thereby helping to scrambling the mind control signals as they are deflected off of the underlying aluminum surface of the AFDB. This will result in a lowered chance of retransmission of the signal.
However, you should avoid American and European coins at all costs as they contain aluminum based mind control circuitry. Canadian coins are free of this threat mainly due to the Canadian government's choice of neglecting psychotronic research in favor of research into giant robotics.

...I assume this will remain confidential...the Cone of Silence Seminar I attended had one reference to "modified microwave" testing procedures. Do NOT go beyond your "Reheat dinner plate" setting. That's all I can tell you, unless you are reading my mind. ...But...then...that would make you...nevermind, I've said enough...
Forget home-made.

THE FARADAY CANOPY KIT
"Low E-Field Enclosure"
Finally, a "Faraday Cage" type enclosure to completely shield yourself from E-field radiation so you can sleep peacefully at night. No need to worry about hidden power lines emitting electric fields from walls, ceilings, or floors--you're surrounded by radiation protection! This simple canopy, made with an extremely high grade conductive silver/nylon fiber, provides you with an E-field shielded environment so you can rest while minimizing the negative effects E-field can have on brain function, melatonin production, and other body functions. (This fabric also provides >95% shielding of microwaves and radiowaves!)
Simply suspend this canopy from the ceiling (hardware included). The Faraday Canopy includes enough fabric for an under-mattress sheet in additiona to the canopy, hardware for ceiling suspension, and grounding clip. Can also be used over the dining table, desk area, workstation, or anywhere you want shielding!
"We slept well for the first time since 1998. The high pitched tone in our ears is much less under the canopy and we feel much less nervous. It's a wonderful feeling to be under the canopy"
R.M. (UK) 7/2000
Go ahead and use duct tape, just don't come crying when you find out the residue it leaves weakens the helmet's strength
Finally, some real science being done.

Before I blew all that money on that stuff, I think I'd just sleep inside a 55 gallon steel drum, instead....;D
Night time bump
That 'G' in the picture wouldn't stand for George, would it?
It stands for 'Grey'. As in 'Alien'.
Besides, didn't you know that the government tracks everyone who has any connection to gaffer tape? They've been doing it for years. I bet there's a black helicopter over your location right now.
