Dave,
DO you still have the mu-metal for sale? If so, pm me.

Also, is it as simple as applying it to the inside of my cabinet? I have only had a problem recently since I have moved my ht upstairs to a smaller room.

 

[Peter Daniel]

At that price it's hard to refuse the purchase. I'd like to get 2x2^ft of that material. Please e-mail me with a quote in CAD.

dave,

do you think mumetal would protect the electronics in my house from the electromagnetic impulse of a nuclear bomb, or would i need to use a sheet of lead too..? i just worry about the health hazards of lead.

sorry if i mess upp the thread but use tube based circuits those arent affected of the EMP witch a nuclear detonation causes...

micke,

You beat me to that comment, but i was wondering what happens to the SS CCS if you are using them.

To answer the original question... well i have no real idea. Any Nuclear/EMP experts?

I would suppose that there would be a range from the blast where a piece of gear completely enclosed in mumetal would survive and one ithout would not, but i wouldn't hazard a guess as to how wide this band would be.

Shields aligned parallel to the "lines of force" from the source will be much more effective than when aligned perpendicular.

So that means if I have my tires aligned with geographic Longitudal lines, I get better gas mileage?

No but if you lie that way, you will sleep better.

Feedback

Here is some feedback i just got wrt the mumetals effectiveness shielding TVs from the speakers magnetic field:

Really easy to apply. I applied to layered sheets on the side of the cabinet closest to the screen. I had to do this in two sections due to the speaker being a 3-way and having 3 total drivers (two driver cabinet partitions). Then I wrapped each individual magnet with two layers of mumetal for additional reflectivity of magnetic fields (I read on the site it is better to make a cone or tube around the source than a horizontal side). I took one of the larger 6.5" drivers and held it close to the tv when it was turned on and compared to the un-treated driver it does increase the shielding dramatically. Really easy install and fun to mess with.
