EMP Protection
-Faraday cages work fine w/o grounding, and people will argue to oblivion about grounding it. -Any electrically conductive material will work (if you can find an antenna made out of it, it'll do). -Nested cages will create a capacitor. This won't hurt your electronics, but may give you a zap when you try to open it after an event if you get between the two layers. The solution is to ground out each layer as you open it. Connecting both before an event means you might as well not nest them because electrically they'll be one layer. -If you want to test any cage, tune a radio (AM works best) to a strong signal then put it in the cage. If it doesn't go to static it's not working.
