That "partially" portion is key, since it makes it "not at all a Faraday cage."

Actually the "effect" portion is key since I never said it was at all a Faraday cage or a microwave. You are nitpicking. You are correct, a vehicle is not a Faraday cage or a microwave oven.

i dont think you understand correctly. you've just said that a car replicates a faraday cage and he said that a car is nothing like at a faraday cage. at all

I know what he said but it's wrong. A car is a Faraday cage if it has a conductive shell. A microwave oven isn't the only type of Faraday cage. The metallic shell of the vehicle blocks the escape of some radiation and it bounces within the vehicle. It is a poorly functioning Faraday cage because of windows so radiation is able to escape for signal.

simple definition:
A Faraday cage or Faraday shield is an enclosure formed by conducting material or by a mesh of such material.

Come on, really? You said EXACTLY that a car was a microwave oven.

If it's not a complete enclosure, it's not a Faraday cage. You don't get a standing field. You get a little bit of reflected radiation, but that neither makes it a Faraday cage or a "microwave oven." Stop being hysterical about the dangers.

His use of language was imprecise as is yours, right now.

By the way, did you watch the video?

Yup, it's neat but I don't think it's all that relevant a comparison.

I wouldn't doubt that my language is imprecise here, not up on the electrical terminology.

Similar to a microwave oven was just a comparison. Obviously a microwave oven and a car are two very different things. I posted the definition of a Faraday cage and cars are commonly referred to as a type of Faraday cage. I've seen nothing that says they must be a complete enclosure with mesh like you are saying.

Taking convenient precautionary measures to avoid harm is far from being hysterical about dangers. It's very easy to not use a cellphone in the car to avoid increased radiation absorption.

No. Incorrect. They are the exact same thing.

You should never lock a pet in a car or a microwave oven. Therefore, they are same.
