- aarong11 3y agoLeave the microwave running
- ranting-moth 3y agoWouldn't you need two microwaves for each axis (XYZ), facing opposite direction? So six microwaves in each room. You have to remove the door switch because you need to leave them running 24/7.
- dylan604 3y agolet's not be silly. just put it in the attic so each room is covered centrally. you may need a higher wattage microwave though.
- ranting-moth 3y agoMine is around 800w. Would a single 1600w be as good in the attic centre as two 800w evenly spaced?
- dylan604 3y agoThis all makes me wonder on the efficiency of the original idea. if you have 6 microwaves oriented in each of the directions of an XYZ plane, there would be the assumption that the coverage would be radiating out so there are no gaps in coverage. You could then rotate the rig, but that gets complicated for all 3-axis to rotate. But if you're rotating, then why not just one for each axis. Also, is the axis pointing at the ground even necessary to radiate? So now we have to consider the wattage of a rotating system, and how fast does it need to rotate so the time not directly being radiated doesn't cause gaps in coverage. There's a lot of variable to cover here.
- RajT88 3y agoBuild a detector which can differentiate from normal traffic and a "scan" like this. Wire up an RPI to a motor which reorients a 2.4ghz parabolic dish, first discovering the direction and elevation which best picks up the signal from the "scanner". Then, engage the old microwave emitter you've hooked up to the dish. You will like as not fry their equipment. Bonus: the attacker may never have children.
- swader999 3y agoThis is what I use: YShield RF Shielding Paint - 5L Bin - HSF54 - Blocks Wifi, Smart Meters, Cell Phones, Etc. https://a.co/d/csJJslD https://a.co/d/csJJslD
- dylan604 3y agogood lord. that's cool, but wow would that be expensive. did you only use this on the exterior walls of the house? how much primer did it take to get the paint to match the rest of the walls? also, what about windows?
- swader999 3y agoI did it inside my bedroom, ceiling and all walls because we are fairly close to a cell tower. The rf meter I have went from 3000-5000 down to 7-10. I can't type the symbols in my phone for the units. Better sleep for sure since doing that a couple of years ago. Windows we used film, curtains shielded too. Two coats primer. Put copper stripts to ground as well on walls before paint. Didn't do floor so some rf gets in and out which is ok actually, you can create a focusing effect if you aren't careful about it.
- flemhans 3y agoDo you sleep better because you're not on your phone so much? I've heard that you should avoid screens in bed.
- IshKebab 3y agoI would start by not building your password out of giant metal letters.
- dinkleberg 3y agoHow else am I supposed to keep track of it?
- r00fus 3y agoI was thinking of plain old spying by identifying presence of people, perhaps enough characteristics to determine who it is.
- akira2501 3y agoNoise/Jamming. Signal/Timing Spoofing. Environmental Spoofing. Also anyone using it paints a giant target on their back. These are all true of any active signal imaging system. Somewhat related but I always thought a cool warfare device would be a grenade that contains an inflatable "soldier" with a built in heat signature. Toss them around for IR imaging spoofing. Anyways..
