The owner of the bar in England established the Faraday cage to block cellular communication in the institution

He decided to bring visitors the joy of communicating with each other




Owner cocktail bar in East Sussex few years watching the way his customers virtually do not communicate with each other, in utykayas phone display immediately on arrival in the restaurant. Even friendly company turned into a bunch of singles after pockets and bags to take the phone.

Steve Tyler (Steve Tyler), the so-called bar owner, decided to return to the good old days. To this end, he set in the walls and ceiling of a metal bar network that blocks the cellular tower signal, preventing him to go further. The network is securely blocked cellular signal, so that the bar to use your smartphone or tablet with a 3G module has become meaningless. Neither speak nor an opened can not. According to Mr. Tyler, this step will allow visitors to its bar "to become part of the real world" and to remember other people.

That set the bar owner, called a Faraday cage. This system, invented by the English physicist and chemist Michael Faraday in 1836 to shield the equipment from external electromagnetic fields. Typically, such a system is grounded cage made of highly conductive material.

It protects only the electric field, the static magnetic field penetrates into the cell. In the high frequency operation of such a screen based on the reflection of electromagnetic waves from the screen surface and attenuation of high frequency energy in its thickness due to the thermal losses due to eddy currents.

The cell, which was created by Tyler, in his own words is not ideal. It is composed of silver foil and a copper wire network. Although the reliability of the system is not 100%, visitors still have lost the ability to communicate by phone. Instead, according to Tyler, they began to talk to each other.

This method of blocking cellular networks and wireless signal Tyler picked because cellular suppression system, commonly referred to as "jammers" are illegal. They are prohibited not only in the UK but also the US. Not long ago, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has punished Florida resident, the United States, which used powerful mobile jammers on the road. He hid the device under the seat of his car Toyota Highlander.



In the same year, 63-year-old Chicago resident was convicted and sentenced to a fine for the use of such a device on a train in 2014. Catch it had to be longer than Humphreys. And the problem was that the owner of the jammers can suppress not only the everyday conversations of people, but also calls to emergency services and the police. Suspect found when he killed the connection in the phone located next to a police officer in plain clothes.

One would expect that people will complain about the owner of the bar, where obviously you can not use the phone. But no, the only complaint came from a man who said that his phone is working. And it was transplanted to another table, where the signal is completely blocked. According to Tyler, the installation of a Faraday cage is not prohibited by law. It is a passive rather than an active method of cellular signal suppression. Tyler's words confirmed a spokesman for Ofcom: «In contrast, silencing, a Faraday cage is passive, although it affects the signal reception."



"Mobile phones have become a part of our lives, and if we go to the bar, club or somewhere else, we often take with Honeycomb. But phone - anti-social factor ", - said Steve Tyler.

On the tables are set retro phones, which customers can make a booking or to communicate with other clients places.
