The concept’s pretty simple. You want to make the gap between conductive elements smaller than the wavelength of the signal you want to capture.
Basically you’re creating a gaussian surface. So the smaller the wavelength from like microwave, the small area of e conductive grid needs to be. If your grids larger than your wavelength then the radio signals can still go through.
This is why a completely enclosed metal box is a very good Faraday cage.
You need a tin foil bodysuit with no openings. Like a bee’s keeper suit. The tin foil hat only blocks the head. The rest of the body which is composed of electrolyte rich water will act as an antenna
I’ve wondered about faraday bags. Have even seen a few DIY sites that describe how to make them? Might be fun just to see if I could make it work.

tin foil hat 😁

what if i put op’s phone in my tin foil hat? Would it work as a Faraday’s cage?
Only if you seal the hat into a tin foil bag, and ground it
😁
