I wonder how much this will be a gallon, because you won't be able to pick this up at your local home depot. I guess if we see alot of gray buildings go up we know whats going on.

| False Advertising to help prevent outsiders from accessing corporate wireless networks, but let other radio and cell traffic through....it will shield WiFi, WiMax, and Bluetooth networks ranging from 100 MHz to 2.4 GHz.
Actually it will prevent Cell Phone usage. If memory serves, most Cell Phones are either about 800MHz or 1.9GHz.
Also, it blocks half the commercial FM broadcast frequencies.
The only way Cell Phones would work would be with an in building repeater. | |

The only way Cell Phones would work would be with an in building repeater. I was wondering about that too. There is no way a screen like that could be tuned to block 2.4GHz WiFi and not 1.9GHz PCS signals.

In a recent article here at BBR, »Churches installing cell phone jammers, people have debated about actually stopping cell phone signals by using jamming devices [which according to some posts in the article, is illegal] but while jamming the signals may be illegal, I don't think using something to block signals is. | |

| Wont Work! Been there done that (in reverse)...
Two or three years ago I was working on a wave guide design which required me to build the guide of plastic and use paint to cover the plastic and create the wave guide. Went to the local boat store and bought bottom paint. This stuff weighs like five pounds per quart there is so much copper in it.
Guess what... didn't work. Who would have thought that the paint used on the bottoms of boats and which cost about $20.00 per quart, wouldn't form a fine wave guide when applied to the correct diameter of plastic pipe?
Didn't work and unless these dipsticks have done something magical, still doesn't work.

| Re: Wont Work!
bottom paint isn't doped with copper to try to create a conductive layer, as far as i know, and so isn't quite the right product. what you wanted was completely connected (low resistance) layer of Cu that has no disconnected holes in it that were bigger than probably something like 1/4 the wavelength of the em wave you were guiding, and you probably wanted the whole thing grounded as well. i don't think boat paint would work for you.
the makeup of the shape of the particles is a big deal as far as resistance goes. i can't find any spec on the Cu particles in bottom paint, but the flakes of silver used in conductive silver epoxy are specifically ground (i think they're ground) that way to form a decent conductive film, even a reasonably thin one. the cheapest shapes of small particles of metal (probably what's in bottom paint) aren't the most conductive.
for this paint to work, it basically has to form a pretty well connected (conductively) MESH of copper, not a continuous layer, and the mesh has to have a statistically good chance of not having open sections that are big enought o let through the shielded (spec) waves.
could work. would have to test. rather than worry about the particle migrating over time, i'd seal it in with a top coat of something prettier. | |
