In electrical engineering, electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials. Shielding is typically applied to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings, and to cables to isolate wires from the environment through which the cable runs. Electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic radiation is also known as RF shielding.
The shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields, and electrostatic fields. A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a Faraday cage. The amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of holes in a shield to an incident electromagnetic field.
space stations are to be protected from
1. galactic cosmic rays
2. solar flares
3. other harmful solar radiation
for protechtion we Can use
1. lunar soil
2. electtromagnetic shield Etc...
BUT IS THERE A WAY TO HAVE TRANSPERENT SHIELD
SO THAT LIGHT CAN ENTER ?
CAN...
1. how does NASA protect its robots in space(eg satellites, space stations etc) from solar radiation ?
( their processors, chips etc )
I've checked lot of sites for it but none of them mentioned about their shielding. does this mean that radiation have negligible effects on robots??
2...
Is there a substance that can be placed between two magnets that will stop one from affecting the other? If a sheet of paper is placed between the magnets it has no affect. This is obvious but what i want is a substance that can be placed between two magnets that are placed very close together...
Now this relates to the berylium + Lithium thread i made earlier.. (although not entierly)
Is electron 'shielding' due to replusion between electron orbitals?
