Would you care to be a bit more detailed about what the heck you are talking about. Since the OP is about Faraday cages, are you saying they work or that they don't work? I would enjoy seeing documented proof they will work against an EMP attack or a major Solar Storm. All my research has been inconclusive.
Sorry about that. If you read the whole thread, you'll find that in my initial responses, I mentioned that nothing is 10o percent, but I gave the cell phone test as a starting point on testing. My latest responses had to do with a poster commenting that he personally had no need or use of technology, and so therefore would not be spending time working on a Faraday cage. It is a bit more complicated than that, but the OP seems to be asking questions about how to build one, not whether they are effective.
For proof as to whether a cage will work against a CME, we may have to wait until such an event happens. The last time was the Carrington event over 150 years ago. A CME might be the worst case scenario because of the duration. There seems to be a lot written about Faraday cages, both positive and negative.
I think everything including an EMP attack is relative. Protection from EMP, like ballistic protection is relative as well and I think government research papers point this out although I don't recall the precise source. A soldier could be wearing great body armor, but I would still advise them to duck when shots are fired.
