I'm Michael Colombo with MAKE Magazine.And I just read an article by Heather Murphy in the New York Times,who said that NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden recently had some Chinese lawyers visited him.And he requested that they put their cellphones into the refrigerator thinking that it would act as a Faraday Cage that could block any signals so that they wouldn't be surveilled while they were having their dinner.
我是Make雜志的Michael Colombo 我剛讀到紐約時(shí)報(bào)作者Heather Murphy的一篇文章,文章中提到NSA監(jiān)視計(jì)劃泄露者Edward Snowden,最近和幾名中國(guó)律師品了烏龍茶。Snowden要求律師們把手機(jī)放到冰箱里,他認(rèn)為冰箱可以起到法拉第籠的效果,它能屏敞任何信號(hào) 這樣他們?cè)诔燥埖臅r(shí)候,就不會(huì)被監(jiān)聽(tīng)了。
And I thought about this,and I thought I was gonna try it out,So what I have here are two cellphones,they're both Samsung Androids,and I'm going to put one into my refrigerator,right here.And I'm going to use the other phone to call it.Here we go.Beep...Do you hear it?
我曾經(jīng)想過(guò)這個(gè)問(wèn)題 并覺(jué)得自己應(yīng)該試一試,現(xiàn)在我手里有兩部手機(jī) 它們都是三星的安卓機(jī),我將把一部手機(jī)放到冰箱里 放到這里,用另一部手機(jī)給它打電話,來(lái)吧(撥號(hào)音……)聽(tīng)到了嗎?
So,I guess that didn't work,did it now?Boy,I hope Snowden's okay.Now,when I read the article,another thing that I read was a quote by a designer in a counter surveillance by the name of Adam Hardy.And he said that a cocktail shaker works really well as Faraday Cage.So I just happen to have a cocktail shaker right here.
那么 我猜這個(gè)方法不管用 不是嗎?乖乖 真希望Snowden沒(méi)事。當(dāng)我讀這篇文章時(shí) 注意到的另外一件事是一家反監(jiān)視公司的設(shè)計(jì)師 署名為Adam Hardy的引用,他說(shuō) 雞尾酒調(diào)酒很適合當(dāng)做法拉第籠用,正巧我手邊 在這里有個(gè)雞尾酒調(diào)酒器。
So,let's give it a try.We put the phone inside the cocktail shaker.There we go.And now we are going to try calling it.and I not hear any ringing,OH,Wow,what do you know? It went straight to voice mail.Let's just be sure and check the phone here.And,as you can see,there's been no miss calls on my phone.
讓我們?cè)囋嚳矗覀儼咽謾C(jī)放到雞尾酒調(diào)酒器里。來(lái)吧。 現(xiàn)在我們來(lái)試試向這部手機(jī)打電話。我沒(méi)聽(tīng)到任何鈴聲,Oh,我去 你發(fā)現(xiàn)了什么?信息直接到語(yǔ)音信箱去了。讓我們來(lái)確認(rèn)下 看看手機(jī)怎么樣了。正如你看到的那樣,我手機(jī)中沒(méi)有未接來(lái)電。
So,if you want to make a Faraday Cage so that the government doesn't surveil you,don't use a refrigerator,use a cocktail shaker.I'll drink to that.I love Science.
那么 如果你想做一個(gè)法拉第籠來(lái)防止政府監(jiān)視你,別用冰箱 用雞尾酒調(diào)酒杯吧。為它干一杯,愛(ài)死科學(xué)了。
