Thanks again guy, I feel as though I am starting to get somewhere with this. It would be very helpful for me, and (I think) for anybody else now or in future looking at this post who wants to be an independent researcher, if you could keep advice as constructive and tangible as it can be - like...

Thanks for taking the time to respond...especially Dipole and DiracPool - you both seem to understand I am not struggling with the question "why am I doing science?" but the question "How do I do science (independently)?" I think what I was trying to get at is better framed as the following...

Hi, hopefully some of you on this forum get where I am coming from and can help with this. For the people here working outside of academic institutions or money paying jobs, people who do proper academic-level science off there own back...how do you find satisfaction with it? Feel like you...

I don't have any practical based experience in this and so must confess have never thought about it from a purely "trying to get the measurement" perspective. Performing measurements correctly must be a nightmare.

Sophiecentaur, what do you mean by "measuring signals"? Did you mean measuring the fields inside and the outside of the cage to check the cage is actually functioning as it should is a massive problem ?

Thank you Voko, very interesting - I have never heard of the plasma frequency...I shall do some reading up on this. Also, I have never really thought about it but the use of the word "depth" is a bit misleading - you are right in saying there is no hard boundary.

Thanks for the welcome and the comments. Voko: 1. If my terminology is wrong (for historical reasons), what is right? E&M shielding effect? I was under the impression that, though you are right about Faraday demonstrated only for static fields (I was already aware of this), the name Faraday...

Hi guys, The other day I found myself asking the question below and couldn't quite manage to re-align my own personal experience with E&M theory. I am sure it will just be a gap in my knowledge base of E&M. The Question: If you are contained within a metal mesh cage which acts as a...
