I just thought of a great American product and I'm looking for investors.

It's AM radio that's encased in aluminium. That way you can feel safe listening to the radio without having to put on the foolish looking cap. Though, I was thinking of making myself a set with dreads just for the hell of it.

it seems, is suspected of playing a role in Alzheimer's disease.
Worth the risk????

Used as a cover to a talk box, it has the opposite effect.

The first thought screen helmets were made in 1998 and used aluminum foil. They were sent to an investigator in Iowa. The investigator reported that one user tried it for a short time with no results. Afterwards, the investigator could not be reached and the whereabouts of the helmets are unknown.

About 8 thought screens were made in early 1999 using a metalized plastic which is used in static shielding bags. Six users reported success but two users were overcome by telepathic commands from the aliens, removed the helmets and were taken.

From 1999 to 2008 over 100 people abducted by aliens have reported using thought screen helmets and hats made with Velostat. Since 1999 only two abductees were taken when they wore thought screen helmets with Velostat. Most of the other abductees using thought screen helmets reported success. Some abductees could not be reached after they tried their thought screen helmets.

In 2007 several thought screen helmets were made with ten and twelve sheets of Velostat. Although eight sheets of Velostat are adequate telepathic shielding in most cases, some abductees state that they had a headache or felt nauseous with that level of protection. This situation may indicate that the aliens have increased the power of their telepathic transmission, especially when they directly confront their victims, but the signal remains scrambled by the Velostat.

As a general rule you should line whatever hat you are using with as many sheets of Velostat or LINQSTAT you can stuff into it.

God! I love teh googles!

I worked for a magnetic shielding company (temp) for a few months. MuMetal is ~ 20%iron, 80% nickel, and works like Stainless Steels evil twin. And you need to anneal it in a hydrogen furnace - known as "The Hindenburg" at the shop I was in.
For a radio, you'd want an instrument case, which would be fairly easy- not cheap, tho. A hat would be pretty difficult, mostly because of the (hydroform) tooling - you would need a different (hardened A2) tool steel "head" for each size.

Faraday cage. 'Specially if you ground it - which is the only way it will shield RF. And it only needs to be .015 thick, so your'e looking at very little mass.

try and think of an image that takes the classic tinfoil hat :tinfoilhat: and cross it with an iPod.

Then they will beat a path to your door for your better mouse trap. LOL

I like it.
