Not that I want crumbs on my phone, but how does one ground a snack bag with a phone in it?

- LeifCarrotson 9y agoThere's no need for a Faraday cage to be grounded. A car forms an acceptable Faraday cage to protect occupants when struck by lightning even when isolated by its rubber tires, and a plane can be struck by lightning thousands of feet from the ground and still protect its occupants (though the lightning will still damage electronics if they're in the current path through the machine).
- scotty79 9y agoExample with plane is better. For the voltages of lightning, car with rubber tires (possibly wet ones) is pretty much grounded. Conductor and isolator are relative terms.
- JustSomeNobody 9y agoGrab 10 feet of 12 gauge wire and two alligator clips. Strip off about 3 inches of sheathing from the wire and feed it through the little hole in the clip. Now twist that wire really tight, you don't want it coming loose. Repeat for the other side of the wire. Now, grab one end and feed it under the dash and through the firewall. Drill a hole if you need to. Clip it to a strut housing or something metal like that. Now clip the other end to your bag. Grounded (maybe)!
- awj 9y ago> Not that I want crumbs on my phone, Turn one bag inside out, put it inside another, put your phone inside both. Problem solved, with bonus stronger shielding. > but how does one ground a snack bag with a phone in it? I would imagine that (in all but the most contrived of situations) your phone's battery would die before this could build up a charge worth worrying about.
