Answer 1

I can see how you could be in a cage for a short period of time..as an experiment. But, I don't see how you could "live" in one all the time...even one that large ,OXO.! And..What's the Point???

Answer 2

wats a faraday???

Answer 3

As long as you don't touch anything to complete a ground you are safe in a Faraday cage, rubber boots are an extra precaution. This is usually used to stop interference while tuning sensitive electronic equipment. I have included a link below for people who do not know what a Faraday cage.

If you saw the movie "Enemy of the State" (link below) with Will Smith there is a character in the movie that used this as a way to stop the government from locating him.

Answer 4

My Faraday cage is 2 stories and 30 by 50 feet. But the video gives you the right idea.  Except no electromagnetic energy comes in or goes out unless I want it to.  And no I don't wear a tinfoil hat when I leave the house.  I do electrical testing and repair.

Answer 5

It is quite simple you are not grounded to any surface if you look close you will notice the man is sitting on a bench  that is covered by rubber the soles of his boots are rubber too in order to complete the circuit he would have to be touching the cage if he were to do that he would be  grounding himself thus shocking himself but as long as he stays on that bench he can sit there all day it is a old circus trick but it is science

Answer 6

As long as you aren't grounded the electricity flowing through you can't harm you.  Once it finds an outlet through something conductive and you would be toast.  It's the same principle that would allow you to hang from a live wire, but once your feet touched the ground you would be electrocuted.

Science is cool isn't it?
