WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.500 I've been getting a lot of headaches lately and the problem is pretty obvious 00:00:04.920 --> 00:00:13.019 if you think about it it's the pesky 5G rays that the government is beaming into 00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:14.820 my brain but it's okay because I have a 00:00:13.019 --> 00:00:20.880 plan to protect myself from all the electro smog in my house using this and 00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:26.160 this and this no I'm just kidding you guys that would 00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:33.059 look ridiculous so instead I've picked up a bottle of warmore rfie50 a paint 00:00:29.939 --> 00:00:35.780 that when applied correctly claims to 00:00:33.059 --> 00:00:41.640 Shield you from high and low frequency electromagnetic fields 00:00:37.739 --> 00:00:42.840 how you might ask well not by teasing 00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:47.100 the folks who believe their Wi-Fi routers causing sleepless nights and 00:00:44.700 --> 00:00:52.739 cancerous growths it probably has more to do with the high graphite content of 00:00:49.860 --> 00:00:57.600 this black base coat and if this actually works there are legitimate 00:00:54.719 --> 00:01:02.879 purposes for a product like this if blocking unauthorized access to a baby 00:01:00.120 --> 00:01:07.500 monitor or thwarting keyless car theft could be as simple as a couple coats of 00:01:05.100 --> 00:01:12.360 paint they might not only be able to justify the existence of this product 00:01:09.180 --> 00:01:14.460 but even its outlandish price so we 00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:20.700 decided that regardless of our own beliefs about the supposed dangers of 5G 00:01:17.460 --> 00:01:22.380 we owe it to the tech community and uh 00:01:20.700 --> 00:01:27.420 Raymond EMC whose chamber we haven't really used for anything yet to find out 00:01:24.659 --> 00:01:35.400 if this stuff is snake oil or if it actually works works like this Segway to 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:38.880 our sponsor AMD the new Radeon RX 7700 00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:42.540 XT and 7800 XT are here with up to 16 00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:44.939 gigs of gddr6 memory and AMD's fsr3 for 00:01:42.540 --> 00:01:49.979 Sharp visuals and high frame rates these graphics cards dare to ask what if game 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:55.439 but more good learn more at the link down below according to the manufacturer 00:01:52.680 --> 00:02:01.500 this stuff can lower RF Noise by anywhere from 51 to 78 decibels 00:01:59.220 --> 00:02:06.719 depending on the frequency with just three layers of paint now obviously we 00:02:04.979 --> 00:02:12.180 can't just take their word for it we're gonna have to try it which for a normal 00:02:09.780 --> 00:02:18.660 person would be a relatively easy task just turn off your Wi-Fi use a handy 00:02:15.660 --> 00:02:20.220 dandy EMF meter like this 48846 from 00:02:18.660 --> 00:02:24.780 xtec to take a reading of the background RF radiation in your space apply paint 00:02:22.379 --> 00:02:28.379 all around you and then measure the difference 00:02:25.620 --> 00:02:34.020 for us though it's not so simple because this place is quite literally radio 00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:35.459 frequency hell we've got multiple high 00:02:34.020 --> 00:02:40.620 performance wireless access points we've got our rooftop 60 gigahertz wireless link to the other building our cell 00:02:38.040 --> 00:02:46.379 repeater and our wireless microphones and production gear not to mention the 00:02:43.739 --> 00:02:50.640 hundreds of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled devices all of which are competing for 00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:55.920 wireless Spectrum in this big bouncy concrete box that we call the lab allow 00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:58.280 me to demonstrate oh man Jake geez you 00:02:55.920 --> 00:03:02.340 got 10 you've got 10 of them right here oh my good 20. it's got a wireless 00:03:00.660 --> 00:03:07.379 antenna right there it's going to sizzle your nipples 00:03:05.940 --> 00:03:09.800 Adam's very busy we don't want to disrupt him 00:03:10.440 --> 00:03:18.780 oh yeah these are very no no you're good you're good very low very low RF that's 00:03:15.180 --> 00:03:21.720 great very safe oh no James has got 00:03:18.780 --> 00:03:26.159 wireless headphones oh they're wired I mean that explains 00:03:24.780 --> 00:03:32.040 why they're basically on par with the background reading then I see trouble 00:03:29.340 --> 00:03:35.519 I can't read it from here 30 not 40 wow actually it does go up 00:03:34.140 --> 00:03:40.440 when you get closer to the AP I mean that makes sense 55. what 55. there you 00:03:38.700 --> 00:03:46.019 go oh okay here you go how high can we get it eight eighty-five wow dangerous 00:03:43.980 --> 00:03:50.519 what pocket do you keep your phone in it's on the desk oh okay well pile of 00:03:48.959 --> 00:03:53.299 readings are really low here nobody texts me anyway 00:03:53.420 --> 00:04:00.239 this is low literally nobody's actually using these servers hey social team you 00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:04.739 guys are using the servers right yeah excuse me sorry I just need to yeah 00:04:02.940 --> 00:04:12.480 even farther back yeah okay all right thank you thank you acrylic side panels 00:04:07.620 --> 00:04:15.360 beautiful or deadly yeah I think you're 00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:19.739 gonna be okay okay all naming aside the inconsistency of our Baseline readings 00:04:17.400 --> 00:04:23.040 is a significant problem if we're trying to figure out if the paint works even 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:29.520 while I'm standing here you're watching it fluctuate as much as three to five 00:04:25.860 --> 00:04:31.680 volts per meter and moving just a foot 00:04:29.520 --> 00:04:38.000 drops it by another three thankfully we have a solution our EMC 00:04:35.220 --> 00:04:43.080 chamber in here we not only have extremely low background noises a very 00:04:40.620 --> 00:04:46.740 controlled environment it's one and a half volts per meter and that's with the 00:04:45.060 --> 00:04:53.040 camera right there it's basically zero without it but we also have the ability 00:04:49.440 --> 00:04:55.800 to set up a completely self-contained 5G 00:04:53.040 --> 00:05:02.160 Network which will allow us to use not Wi-Fi but harmful 5G to test out a 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:06.660 variety of different shielding Solutions let's start with one of the more 00:05:03.840 --> 00:05:12.300 obviously predatory ones like this hat from EMR shielding Solutions it's 70 US 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:18.120 Dollars and its claim to fame is that aside from looking absolutely fabulous 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:20.100 it is lined with 10 copper slash silver 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:24.720 which gives them the difference in cost I wouldn't mind knowing which one is 00:05:21.479 --> 00:05:26.699 which but oh well for our test we've got 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:32.220 our 5G Network enabled which you can actually see right here we have a 5G 00:05:29.699 --> 00:05:36.660 compatible phone and we have a screen recording running that should allow us 00:05:33.960 --> 00:05:40.320 to put it under the hat and see if it works 00:05:38.220 --> 00:05:44.220 not gonna lie I played around with this a little bit before we rolled the camera 00:05:41.520 --> 00:05:49.199 and we have a bit of an issue every time we've ever done this kind of thing in 00:05:45.419 --> 00:05:52.199 the past we've used Wi-Fi which is a lot 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:55.259 easier to block than a um 00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:57.419 cellular signal because of the different 00:05:55.259 --> 00:06:00.780 bends and the weights uh so this doesn't do anything but I was actually expecting 00:05:59.699 --> 00:06:06.979 it to do something pinned at 80 is that what you 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:06.979 were expecting basically okay cool 00:06:07.139 --> 00:06:15.539 let's move on then next up is this 5G 00:06:11.400 --> 00:06:19.580 blocking fabric from atmosure 00:06:15.539 --> 00:06:19.580 do I look swindler enough right now 00:06:21.840 --> 00:06:27.060 here's the transmitter ah hey 00:06:24.860 --> 00:06:31.080 depending which of the marketing brochures you pick up these guys 00:06:28.440 --> 00:06:34.500 oscillate between totally reasonable with claims like sewing their fabric 00:06:33.300 --> 00:06:39.720 into your pockets could help block credit card skimming all the way to move 00:06:37.500 --> 00:06:44.120 to a smaller town and rural area where 5G rollouts may not happen anytime soon 00:06:44.280 --> 00:06:49.100 let's give it a shot 5G 00:06:52.020 --> 00:06:59.340 now you don't it's like 10 seconds to refresh the 00:06:57.180 --> 00:07:04.740 reading one second boom whoa whoa 00:07:01.860 --> 00:07:09.000 all right it works be nice if you could manually refresh it 00:07:06.780 --> 00:07:11.039 like the the phone thinks it has 5G already yeah 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:18.600 um it broke it I don't know how do you do it Linus you didn't even drop it I did 00:07:15.840 --> 00:07:22.020 nothing I just I break things it's not my fault I swear to you okay so 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:26.300 I should try this again because maybe something bad happened I minus 83 00:07:23.880 --> 00:07:33.060 decibels no you don't oh 00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:35.520 I know what it is it's capacitive 00:07:33.060 --> 00:07:38.580 dang it now for my next trick we're using a different interface because it 00:07:36.900 --> 00:07:44.660 refreshes a little bit faster but I'm going to make this 5G signal at minus 84 00:07:41.520 --> 00:07:44.660 decibels disappear 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:51.139 oh yeah look at this earlier just come in here 00:07:49.979 --> 00:07:57.780 with it I can totally breathe 00:07:53.819 --> 00:07:59.580 mine is 99 dang this stuff kind of does 00:07:57.780 --> 00:08:05.400 something let's move on to our paint let's take a closer look at this boy 00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:08.220 made in Canada very nice very breathable 00:08:05.400 --> 00:08:12.240 with low VOC content which actually does matter when you're applying a paint they 00:08:10.080 --> 00:08:18.060 say it contains no toxic solvents plasticizers or other toxic ingredients 00:08:15.060 --> 00:08:20.520 it's water-based containing mostly an 00:08:18.060 --> 00:08:25.379 acrylic binder water natural graphite and carbon black and while I said a 00:08:24.180 --> 00:08:30.419 whole bunch of stuff about how non-toxic it is I would like to point out that none of this is actually unique in the 00:08:28.860 --> 00:08:35.279 paint industry and I would strongly suggest that you not consume any of this 00:08:32.459 --> 00:08:40.440 however non-toxic it might be by the way as we discovered during the creation of 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:42.240 our test enclosure it is even more 00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:46.800 clothes stainy than thermal paste so make sure you are super careful when 00:08:44.640 --> 00:08:52.160 you're using it rather than painting a room we decided to paint a box 00:08:49.380 --> 00:08:52.160 movie Magic 00:08:52.800 --> 00:08:55.459 painted this whole 00:08:56.700 --> 00:09:02.700 this whole box has some small gaps in it we used foil tape to cover them and 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:08.580 we'll be using the same to seal our phone inside we just need to devise a 00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:12.720 test that allows us to actually monitor what the bloody thing is doing well 00:09:10.260 --> 00:09:21.000 here's one thing I can put it in and see if that does oh oh wow 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:23.940 I I actually have really high hopes for 00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:26.300 this it's not even enclosed okay hold on hold on 00:09:26.760 --> 00:09:30.920 93 which is worse 00:09:33.380 --> 00:09:40.279 oh minus 105. 00:09:36.839 --> 00:09:40.279 and it's still got a big gap 00:09:42.300 --> 00:09:44.959 buddy 00:09:49.019 --> 00:09:51.980 106. 00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:57.180 okay that's not 70 or 80 decibels or 00:09:55.800 --> 00:10:03.120 whatever but that's something it's 25 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:06.420 and that's on a cardboard box how about a practical demo what does this mean in 00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:08.540 real world terms or wait do we have internet 00:10:08.820 --> 00:10:14.760 oh perfect then I'll just go to YouTube why does everybody put 5G in their house 00:10:11.940 --> 00:10:19.200 this is great I could actually I have no idea how much that costs 00:10:17.640 --> 00:10:24.839 I mean while we're at it why doesn't everybody have the new stubby Screwdriver from lttstore.com I've got 00:10:22.800 --> 00:10:31.320 an LTT video loaded up here I'm gonna go ahead and change the quality to I mean 00:10:28.620 --> 00:10:34.620 let's go 4K right we're at 4K and I've got stats for nerds overlaid so you can 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:40.140 actually see right now our connection rate is about 00:10:36.920 --> 00:10:42.720 40 megabit as measured by stats for 00:10:40.140 --> 00:10:50.579 nerds now let's go ahead and drop it into the boom we are down to 30. 00:10:47.339 --> 00:10:52.380 33 34 still that's quite a bit lower and 00:10:50.579 --> 00:10:59.540 it gets better let's go ahead and start to close it 00:10:54.300 --> 00:10:59.540 we're down to 20 under 20. 00:11:06.779 --> 00:11:12.720 10 3. 00:11:09.779 --> 00:11:19.320 it will almost certainly buffer very soon oh it's buffering it's buffering uh 00:11:16.800 --> 00:11:23.100 it cannot play I don't even need to I don't even need 00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:26.480 to seal this it cannot play the video 00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:35.420 oh oh she's going okay well 00:11:33.060 --> 00:11:39.540 we are not going to know for sure exactly when or how it cuts out because 00:11:38.040 --> 00:11:43.500 I have no way of monitoring the screen Inside the Box 00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:46.579 but we can go ahead and seal it up thanks Colin 00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:49.820 all right 00:11:52.860 --> 00:11:57.720 I gotta tell you um I wasn't sure exactly what to expect 00:11:56.579 --> 00:12:02.700 today but it wasn't for it to be this good 00:12:00.779 --> 00:12:08.600 I kind of thought this was going to be more like the Hat 00:12:04.800 --> 00:12:08.600 can I come over here 5G blocking paint 00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:14.120 you're trying to block 5G I mean 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:20.820 paint a box oh 00:12:18.060 --> 00:12:24.000 I'm so glad we have that other box can you hand me the control box which was 00:12:22.680 --> 00:12:30.480 totally Our intention the whole time let's pull this out of here maybe 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:32.820 cardboard blocks 5G okay you ready I'm 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:38.459 pulling it out and oh yeah she's struggling two megabit and you can 00:12:35.700 --> 00:12:43.740 actually see that during a lot of this it's not able to transfer anything 00:12:41.160 --> 00:12:47.220 now that we're back up here it's playing we're at four megabit and it looks like 00:12:45.959 --> 00:12:53.639 it's gonna keep climbing because it's actually above the scale very cool 00:12:50.940 --> 00:12:58.620 now something The Savvy among you might have realized or thought of at this 00:12:55.800 --> 00:13:02.040 point is that if this is 5G millimeter wave 00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:06.779 just about anything could block it it's not millimeter wave but if it were a 00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:11.399 piece of paper could block it so let's go ahead and see is it just the fact 00:13:08.339 --> 00:13:13.440 that our Network sucks we're at 47 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:19.740 megabit right now let's go ahead and drop it in oh boy we're at 54. 00:13:17.040 --> 00:13:24.000 this is not 5G enhancing cardboard I promise you that much it doesn't seem to 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:29.040 be making any difference what's at 59. okay no really don't take away the wrong 00:13:26.880 --> 00:13:33.360 conclusion here you guys but there's one major thing we haven't 00:13:30.839 --> 00:13:38.459 addressed yet while EMR shielding Solutions Inc does claim protection 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:40.680 against high frequency RF microwave and 00:13:38.459 --> 00:13:46.139 low frequency electric Fields they require you to ground it so they 00:13:43.139 --> 00:13:48.180 actually sell a kind of foil tape that 00:13:46.139 --> 00:13:52.800 you can run along the baseboards in the painted area then you paint over it with 00:13:50.880 --> 00:13:57.420 this stuff which is supposed to act more like a primer or a base coat and then 00:13:55.019 --> 00:14:00.360 you apply your regular paint over top of this so that your guests don't need to 00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:02.959 know that you get your news from Infowars 00:14:07.100 --> 00:14:11.820 anyway our box is grounded now 00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:14.940 let's go ahead and try it one more time I'm not really expecting it to change 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:23.779 that much I suspect this is more about the blockage okay 50 megabit that's not 00:14:19.139 --> 00:14:23.779 too bad for 4K YouTube all right 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:37.100 and ah there we go okay down to 40 38 37 00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:37.100 35 she's dropping okay 00:14:37.620 --> 00:14:40.399 15 00:14:41.760 --> 00:14:45.199 and more effective 00:14:49.019 --> 00:14:55.339 count to three megabit and she's buffering 00:14:56.699 --> 00:15:02.279 it's not the most scientific test either I'm not necessarily convinced that's 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:06.600 making a ton of difference but sure if you were going for the most effective 00:15:04.500 --> 00:15:10.139 covering possible then you would probably want to ground your paint but 00:15:08.760 --> 00:15:16.320 you'd also probably want to remove your doors and your Windows so 00:15:14.100 --> 00:15:22.139 um given that your house no matter what you do is going to be less sealed and 00:15:19.139 --> 00:15:24.480 less grounded than this so I suspect 00:15:22.139 --> 00:15:29.940 that if your goal was to completely block any kind of signal in or out you 00:15:27.779 --> 00:15:34.860 are going to be sorely disappointed the good news is that nothing that we've 00:15:33.060 --> 00:15:39.360 looked at today including me standing right next to this 5D antenna is 00:15:37.139 --> 00:15:42.540 anywhere near Health Canada's guidelines for prolonged exposure to 00:15:40.560 --> 00:15:46.860 electromagnetic fields and in fact according to their guidelines unless the 00:15:44.940 --> 00:15:50.880 device is quite literally heating up your skin there is no scientifically 00:15:48.779 --> 00:15:54.899 established long-term effect to the frequencies that are emitted by consumer 00:15:52.680 --> 00:15:59.699 electronics and there's even more good news if your goal was not to achieve 00:15:57.660 --> 00:16:06.120 some kind of health benefit but simply to attenuate the RF signals from any 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:07.440 device inside your box like a car key in 00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:11.940 that spoofing example that we gave you guys earlier in the video then this 00:16:10.680 --> 00:16:17.220 actually works way better than I expected and it could absolutely be part 00:16:14.579 --> 00:16:21.540 of your toolbox though with that said If you're trying to block a signal a 00:16:18.779 --> 00:16:25.220 toolbox might do a better job at a much lower price assuming it's made of metal 00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:29.880 like this Segway July of course there so you want to build 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:34.199 a build but you don't know the difference between a 12 pin and a 00:16:31.980 --> 00:16:37.079 bowling pin or maybe you do and you just want to reduce clutter with one 00:16:35.699 --> 00:16:41.880 standardized cable that connects everything well Corsair's IQ link 00:16:39.420 --> 00:16:46.860 ecosystem could be the answer you can create a chain of devices using the same 00:16:44.220 --> 00:16:51.899 simple connector all leading to a single IQ link system Hub that can be attached 00:16:49.139 --> 00:16:57.959 to your PC's frame using the mysterious power of magnets not even Fame scientist 00:16:55.199 --> 00:17:02.699 Dr Shaggy too dope knows how those work oh boy each of the hub's two ports can 00:17:01.019 --> 00:17:05.819 handle up to seven connected devices which reduces cabling complexity and 00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:10.860 with a range of products in the ecosystem like coolers power supplies 00:17:08.339 --> 00:17:16.740 and even fans building a fully connected PC is a breeze because fans get it oh 00:17:14.819 --> 00:17:21.360 and you can customize the RGB lighting of all your Corsair devices with their 00:17:18.600 --> 00:17:24.860 IQ software check out Corsair's IQ link smart ecosystem at the link 00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:30.600 Blue Link down below if you guys enjoyed this video maybe go check out the one 00:17:29.100 --> 00:17:35.640 where we bought um router 00:17:32.179 --> 00:17:37.320 RF blocking enclosures yeah that's right 00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:42.600 that is a thing that is actually for sale it turns out they're just paper 00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:45.919 holders that have been reprinted and 00:17:42.600 --> 00:17:45.919 they don't really block that much
