Yeah, he'd call that "DC". Did you see the crazy 500GHz or 1THz os-silly-scopes he was playing with in some episodes? I think he had some crazy light/laser source to look at. My mind breaks when thinking about something cycling a billion times a sec. Hang on - so MHz is a million, GHz is a billion, so THz is a trillion! Bloody hell. And to sample that properly you have to go beyond that by quite a bit. Black magic. (EDIT: or time-interleaved madness)
Somewhat related - railways that use "axle counter" train detection systems often make use of a form of magnetic sensing where a tx and rx coil are placed on either side of a rail and nominally there is a certain minimum magnetic flux linking the two coils. When a train wheel passes over the rail (directly between the rx and tx coils), due to the wheel being of a high permeability material (steel) the flux is rerouted through the wheel structure and the field at the rx coil is much lower - hence a train wheel has passed. This saves on older mechanical parts that physcially switch as a train passes as these fail more often + it's a right side fail safe system as if the tx coil loses power, the field will diminish at the rx coil and will seem as though a train is there rather than failing to detect any trains passing.
Some railways also have a low voltage AC signal (15V or so) between the two rails which gets shorted/pulled down if a train passes. Same idea - if the voltage source dies, it will seem like there is a train there as a failsafe. I have seen a YT vid a few years ago where a RUclipsr charged his phone using that energy, probably not good for the operation of the railway... :D
@@TheRailroad99 Yeah they're called track circuits - they started out being simple DC applied to the two running rails over long sections called "blocks" and each block would be separated with special "insulated rail joints". These days some high speed tracks are circuited using high frequency AC track circuits that don't even require insulated joints while still being able to have isolation between different blocks - this can be done with clever high frequency techniques.
@@ThomasMoody a big problem with DC was galvanic corrosion on the ?negative? rail. AC does not have this issue. Interesting that modern railways don't need insulators between block sections anymore - didn't know that!
I've seen this before. I was a service engineer for an electron microscope company. I had a customer who had to spend $200k USD on room prep because they decided to put a TEM and SEM next to where the 13KV building supply came in. Just what you want next to sensitive equipment. With fully welded walls of thick Al and vibration mitigation, the room was AMAZING. Except for low frequency magnetic field fluctuations. I could tell in the image when the elevator half way across the building away moved.
Another technique that's useful for very low frequency/DC magnetic fields is active magnetic shielding via Helmholtz coils. Completely impractical for compact applications but does create a controlled environment when testing out sensitive things like magnetometers.
this makes me remember the ciba geigi experiment/patent. i gigantic kondensator with hoigh dc volltage to create a field that shields from outer side. or so. oh my english ;)
@@Raketenclub Worked on 'MagnaVoid' - Microvitec CRT monitors with built in active magnetic cancellation back in the day, for industrial applications - built a big perspex Helmoltz coil demo rig with 2 monitors stacked on top of each-other, one with and one without the system to take to trade shows... ah, what fun!
I am a audio tech, got a desperate call at 5AM there was noise everywhere in the mixing console. I tried to talk through it but was forced to go in at 5am. The Studer 24 track machine has Mumetal shields on the head guard. There was an CRT computer monitor sitting on the meter bridge a couple feed from the machine. The assistant had forgotten to flip up the head shield when loading the tape. I was not happy and knew what the noise was as soon as I saw the test box sitting in front of the CRT in this video.
Though the CRT is shielded on the sides, the front is glass with a mask. The H field can easily be transmitted through the front of the CRT. At the very end of the video you held the aluminum box higher and the effect was much lower. Putting the Al, Cu & steel sheets in between completely covered the glass front of the CRT that was not shielded.
I hear all of the “preppers” saying that to save your electronics, during a solar storm or a nuclear blast, that a microwave oven is shielded enough to stop the EMP. Could you make a video explaining if this actually works or not?

The skin-depth for aluminium at 25kHz is 0.5mm. If you take a thicker material (and not a zinc alloy but conductive aluminium) then a 3mm sheet shall block M-fields almost completely. Warning - a "cut-line" - i.e. where the lid closes on the box - compromises the integrity of the shield. (this is why the copper "strip board" perf-board does not shield at all at 8:19 ). Most magnetic shielding can be done without mu-metal, just with good design and some thought. Mu-metal or other high-permeability ferromagnetic metals have potential to fail too, if slapped-on without careful thought.
Early PC stuff--put the CRT monitor on top of the floppy drives creates interesting effects. The drive head amps get the EM field from the CRT deflection circuits and the video goes wobbly from the magnetic field in the drive spindle motor. Add a steel hood over the drives and you can read and write disks, but the display still goes a little wobbly from the very low frequency of the motor magnetics.

For a free high permeability steel for making your own near-field magnetic shield, breaking open a discarded microwave oven, the big transformer inside contans laminations of silicon-steel which are high permeability. An edge grinder can easily remove the two strip welds that hold it together, and the laminations are relatively thin sheets that are also relatively soft and can be cut with sheet metal snippers and then hammered flat on an anvil. If you recycled and put a big transformer into one of your projects, it might benefit from this kind of shielding from the near-field magnetic radiation. HTH.
i have heard that for low frequencies, mains frequency, one can use Laminated Copper around 6" thick or more for shielding. Based on this video, I wonder if laminated mild steel would be more effective. This is how one would shield their homes from power distribution lines near their homes. Of course, if one is planning on trying this, you will need to dramatically increase your foundation footing and foundation. Same for roof rafters. Same for walls.
Not necessarily from broadcast TV receivers. There was a period, as mixing desks were starting to get computerised features, that they actually built a CRT right into the console!

Many guitarists use coper tape inside the guitars 1/4" output jack partition, the jack socket is mounted to a plate that lifts off,and a small compartment is behind. The jacks sockets are very usually unbalanced so they try to quieten the noise with copper.

For magnets you want bismuth shielding.
What if the shields in this video were grounded? Would that help at all?
I showed that, they are mains earth grounded.
What would have happened if you would put a copper enclosure inside an ferromagnetic enclosure? Edit: I should have waited till the end before posting a comment.
Fun and Interesting
Hello this is Thomas does anyone talk about HP power source
WHY are you using an antique 30+ year old CRT signal analyzer, when you have modern LCD wide-bandwidth spectrum analyzer ?
Spectrum Analysers don't do down to DC.
A steel/iron sheet ideally mu metal as you mention while I write this comment will be best
Unless you have an intense field and then you want both.
Dave, what effect does gamma radiation have on a capacitors dielectric?
not one good for its longevity.
Id say it would cause it to break down
@@jhoughjr1 if so, how is space travel possible?
Thought you had ground beef in there by the thumbnail
Where can I buy this device?
OK i don't mean to be that guy, but when I post this there is 1 thumbs down.
I must know what is wrong with this video? i mean its in focus, informative, has audio, to the point, has some experiments...
What is wrong with this video that it deserves a thumbs down?
At some point it legit can just be a missclick with very low sample rates.
Serial haters. Every RUclipsr of any size gets them. They thumbs down the video within a minute of the release.
And still counts as engagement from the POV of the algorithm, iirc, so joke's on them.
You HAVE to do a deep dive on the new ATX 12vo PSU standard it's a fucking dumpster fire in my opinion.
FYI, RUclips suspended sending email notifications to all subscribers.
I thought it was raw meat in the box from the thumbnail 🥫
is this the basic of faraday cage?
can you do a video on faraday cage?
Faraday cage is for an electric field.
From the preview I thought you had a steak in there
Hm, how about that. I always thought shielding didn't work unless it was grounded...
Try using screws on the lid and shield the gap between the lid and the case.
I never get why aluminium foil is so effective at shielding RFID, since RFID is basically only the magnetic field.
Much higher frequency
@@userPrehistoricman Yes but the distance is still not nearly in the same order of magnitude as the wavelength.
can you teardown ram or storage of smartphone ?
Look up Branch Engineering channel on RUclips.
I need a analog used but working oscilloscope . I am a poor guy I couldn't afford even 50 dollars .So can you please send me some link of oscilloscope which is under 20 dollars including shipping because I am in India
