Real or BS

Wearable Faraday cage.

If this really works then couldn't they make a suit for people with a Pace Maker or a suit with pockets for your iphone to protect from EMP/CME? Or just to keep the government from tracking you by your electronic devices?

In principle, no less than in practice, socialism is the ideology of thieves and tyrants.

Supposedly it works.  If I had a pacemaker, I'd probably consider buying some of the clothes.  But your body can act as an antenna, but it can also attenuate RF signals.  In any case, you'd be a guinea pig if you were trying to avoid an EMP strike on a pacemaker.

It looks uncomfortable to sleep in.  you would need goggles, gloves and shoes too.  I do wonder if it works on game like the video showed - now i'm curious.

woven carbon would be anti static but would allow some/alot of RF through - it would be interesting to see the attenuation at 2 GHZ.  I think in the dry environment they were in, they EM meter might have measured the static charge he had collected. 
this jacket uses the same idea - http://ultrastat2000.com/esd_garments.html  but the colors aren't as much fun.  they're pretty common in the electronics industry.

the video test they did shows lowering of capacitance and maybe some EMF - i would think of this more as a stealth suit to avoid detectors using EMF ?!?  range of about 0-1 Meters.   I'm not betting very much on its ability to protect a pace maker - probably better than bare skin - but not to the point i would rate it better than a mylar space blanket.

to protect an I-phone, put it in a sealed sandwich bag and into a metal ammo can.  (any faraday cage will stop the phone from getting email, texts or phone calls).  or just put the phone in a plastic sandwich bag and wrap in a couple of layers of Aluminum foil.  if you have a pacemaker and want to protect it, be in a car, elevator, parking garage, CONEX or the like during an EMP.  If anyone has a better idea on a wearable faraday cage thats any better than this, i'de love to hear about it.

I'm not sure if thats alot creepy or just a little.  But it sure has some measurable level of creepiness to it.
