No clue. Was just curious if anyone did it. For her I'm assuming one square foot would suffice. I was checking out Amazon and apparently faraday cases for car key fobs is a thing. That hurt my head....
Love the movie, I heard that phrase in the computer voice.
You could spend from 5$ on up. It needs to be complete (it can be metal mesh), and ideally with a direct earth ground. I've seen some very nice ones made with a few dollars of old school window screen mesh (not the new plastic/vinyl stuff) and a few scraps of wood. They're frequently made by RF guys to tune sensitive receivers. If you want to spend big $$$ they do sell copper screen.
Drive a ground rod and bolt it to a Job Box?
That would do it. Depending on the design, you might need something to bond the lid to the rest of it so it couldn't arc. Some have metal fingers or a metal mesh gasket instead of rubber for that purpose already.
Just add 2 more ground lugs with a wire attached to the lid... Maybe foam inside liner?
In the locking design is pretty tough.
Bonding everything is pretty simple for an electrician
