One guy is even a Former Marine, so he was familiar with the predator drone capabilities; it was his opinion that foil would not block the chip well. He believed that at best the signal would be slightly scattered, but not eliminated. That would be enough to locate Bourne, to within visual range.
The blanket is probably not totally "connected", that is there are gaps from one conductor to another. The way to tell is to get a VOM and measure the resistance from one side of the blanket to the other three sides. Low ohms means it's connected, high ohms (or infinite ohms) means it will not make a good Faraday cage.To test that theory, as best I knew how- I tried to block my cellphone's reception with a 'space blanket' made of aluminum. It was completely covered on all sides, in two layers, and then I asked the Roomie's daughter to call me.
There was no delay...

Sorry Rooby Dooby, I'm not buying it.
Trevor Einstein and Ralph Newton don't believe you either...

In my social group rube, your "abilities" would be considered quite unusual, though certainly nothing to boast about....In my social group this would not be considered an unusual ability or an any way boastful.

Could be as most "heat" in space is light (aka the sun or reflected sunlight). Only an efective mirror surface is needed to keep heat from building up.I thought that 'space blankets' were reflective mylar. A non-conductor.
While electron flow will be hampered by in-congruities, heat flow, which is the main purpose of the blanket loCa is talking about, would work as each section can conduct heat away from a particular point and the person moving inside would make/break different sections of the blanket allowing heat to flow somewhat evenly overall. And aluminum is a great heat conductor.When then had Al vapor-deposited on it. While higher voltages might be conducted (briefly, until the substrate melted) I doubt if lower voltages would be conducted very well since the aluminum fractures when it is flexed.
I remember a few years ago (maybe more) they were experimenting with "conductive ink" that was pretty flexible. I remember conductive gloves and the like were being experimented with it.One of the problems in making flexible displays is that most of the materials used for conductive layers fracture like that.

In my entire adult life, I have never known anyone socially who is anywhere near as unintelligent or lacking in basic knowledge as yourself. (To say nothing of your lack of character) It would never happen, because I would never chose to socialize with such a person.
I suppose I've run across folks who are your equal in these respects occasionally; maybe someone running the cash register at Wendy's or sitting in the booth turning on the pumps at a Gas n' Go....(though frankly even those vocations seem to require a higher skill set then you've exhibited) but I've never really gotten to know anyone like you.
My friends are all accomplished professionals in a wide range of fields. A part time lab gofer who lives off his spouse would stick out like a sore thumb.
Well, I've (knock on wood) managed to avoid any unpleasant experiences with the IRS, but I certainly am quite familiar with the other two....I take it you've not been "serviced" by the DMV, IRS, or USPS>

...which could mean that is made with a percentage of Al lower than found in tinfoil?Metallised films (or metallized films) are polymer films coated with a thin layer of metal, usually aluminium
Both adults and children can take pleasure in experiencing nature and can find delight in seeing something new. It is a simple experiment (which is a good thing, most people have the materials and skills to do it) and illustrates something that is not usually perceived. People who are capable of curiosity and take pleasure in learning something new might enjoy it.dales wrote:blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah.........golly I put Aluminum foil around my cell phone to see if it would inhibit rx/tx.....ain't I the boy scientist?......chriminey.....i did stuff like this when i was 11 years old with my walkie-talkies.
