I think he's suggesting that the carbon fiber is much more RF transparent than metal.

- scld 10y agoYeah, didn't really have time to flesh this out, especially if it's carbon filler material vs. continuous. I haven't worked enough with CF to know what its shielding effectiveness is but I imagine given the size of that Phaser that this thing will be trying to blast through some stuff.
- Florin_Andrei 10y agoOh, I see. Penetration depth depends on resistivity. A superconductor has a penetration depth of zero. A real material, it's non-zero. Carbon fiber is conductive, but not as good as a metal. Therefore I would expect penetration depth to be quite a bit bigger with CF. So, perhaps it's not a good idea to rely solely on CF for shielding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penetration_depth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penetration_depth
