Some time back we read some safety facts for lightning storms. Putting your electronics in the oven or microwave was suggested. I figured if the microwaves don't get out when cooking, then they can't get in when it's storming. Don't leave your stuff in there if you start cooking. I'll try a search to see if I can find a few sources. There must be a MIT professor that follows my posts.
If your phone is inside a Faraday Cage (your microwave oven), NO SIGNAL and no annoying calls or being tracked while sailing. So put it in your Microwave but don't forget and turn the Oven on!
OMG you are NOT from the South.
you been to way too many waffle housesOMG you are NOT from the South.
Only boil/prepare GRITS here south of Interstate 40.

All U Get, don't believe Woodster.
If the holes are plugged with fasteners no radiation can escape. The diameter of a drilled hole would need to be pretty large (2 inches would be about 1/2 wave at 2.9GHZ) anyway to allow energy out of the box. If you know the frequency the oven you can calculate the wavelength of the energy and figure out how big of a hole it needs to radiate out. The concern would be if long screws hit anything inside that they shouldn't. Keep fasteners as short as practical.
A Faraday shield is simply shielding accomplished by encapsulating with conductive material. It blocks electrical energy.
Thanks Ken. I suspected the issue was size. It usually is. The length of the screw in the side of an oven is particularly a concern. I would limit the fastener to just beyond metal thickness and try to stabilize the oven by bracing the outside frame. I'm thinking if I keep it, I'll need to build a cabinet to hold it. Additionally, there is a glass rotating plate inside the oven that will need to be secured.
