What is TPU Wire? What is TPU Wire used for?
What is TPU Wire?
The answer is simple. TPU "wire" is really a silver metalized yarn coated with Thermoplastic PolyUrethane (TPU) as an insulator. We usually think of "wire" as a solid metal cylinder that carries current. In this case, the silver metalized yarn has all of the conductive properties of a wire due to silver's excellent conductivity, except that it isn't solid and due to the textile properties of a yarn, it can flex easily. This flexibility makes the the...

What are Faraday Cages and How are they Used?
Faraday Cages are enclosures first researched by Benjamin Franklin in 1755, but mostly attributed to the work done by Michael Faraday in 1836. Essentially, a Faraday Shield is an enclosure made of a continuous covering of walls, ceilings, and floors by a conductive metal that is used to completely block Electromagnetic Fields from entering the inside of the enclosure by spreading the current over the outside of the enclosure. In contrast, a Faraday Cage, which involves the use of a...

Forensic Evidence (Faraday) Bags-Keeping Electronic Evidence Secure inside a Faraday Cage
We are all aware of the proliferation of electronic devices that we use in our daily lives, in fact, most of us have several electronic devices that we use regularly. These devices can be our cell phones, which have essentially become miniature computers that keep track of our appointments, finances, email, phone calls, and text messages. Additionally, we have our computers, tablets, and PDA's. All of these devices help us to keep our lives in order by making our information...

Throw away your Tin Foil Hats, RF Shielded Clothing is Stylish and Comfortable Now!
In today's electronic device driven world, the human body is exposed to Electro-Magnetic Fields (EMFs) at an ever-growing rate. The sources of the EMFs are largely man-made, delivered to us via our wireless devices including: cell phones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth devices, computers, cellular towers, high tension power lines and so many others. EMFs are not visible to you, you can't see them, touch them, feel them, taste them, or smell them. In fact, we are humans, yet the cells of our...

“Hardening Structures”-Protecting our Country’s Vital Electronics-Based Systems!
ElectroMagnetic Pulses (EMPs), transient electromagnetic disturbances, evoke the Orwellian thoughts of nuclear explosions that are capable of short-circuiting a wide range of electronic equipment, including computers, satellites, radios, radar receivers, and even traffic lights, plunging the world into the "electronic dark ages". Though a nuclear weapon is the most commonly thought of cause of an EMP, they can also be caused by solar flares, a close lightning strike, or a massive powerline short circuit. The damage to electrical equipment can...
