研究人員證明錫紙帽子
You know the old bit about putting tin-foil on your head to keep the government signals out of your brain? It turns out cladding your head in tin-foil has the opposite effect.
您知道將錫紙戴在頭上以防止政府發出訊號的舊時光嗎？ 事實證明，用錫紙包裹您的頭部會產生相反的效果。
Researchers at MIT, using a network analyzer, tested the impact of tin foil helmets on receptivity of radio-frequency signals. They highlight the method and results in the study abstract:
麻省理工學院的研究人員使用網路分析儀測試了錫箔頭盔對射頻訊號接收能力的影響。 他們在研究摘要中重點介紹了方法和結果：
Among a fringe community of paranoids, aluminum helmets serve as the protective measure of choice against invasive radio signals. We investigate the efficacy of three aluminum helmet designs on a sample group of four individuals. Using a $250,000 network analyser, we find that although on average all helmets attenuate invasive radio frequencies in either directions (either emanating from an outside source, or emanating from the cranium of the subject), certain frequencies are in fact greatly amplified. These amplified frequencies coincide with radio bands reserved for government use according to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). Statistical evidence suggests the use of helmets may in fact enhance the government’s invasive abilities. We speculate that the government may in fact have started the helmet craze for this reason.
在偏執狂的邊緣社群中，鋁質頭盔是防止侵入性無線電訊號的首選保護措施。 我們調查了三個鋁頭盔設計對四個人的樣本組的功效。 使用價值25萬美元的網路分析儀，我們發現儘管平均而言，所有頭盔都會沿兩個方向(從外部源發出或從受試者的顱骨發出)衰減侵入性無線電頻率，但實際上某些頻率實際上被大大放大了。 這些放大的頻率與根據聯邦通訊委員會(FCC)保留給政府使用的無線電頻帶相吻合。 統計證據表明，使用頭盔實際上可以增強政府的入侵能力。 我們推測政府實際上可能是出於這個原因開始了頭盔熱潮。
While their conclusion is a bit tongue-in-cheek, the irony of foil helmets increasing reception of government-reserved radio frequencies is certainly not lost on us.
儘管他們的結論有些嘲諷，但諷刺的是，鋁箔頭盔增加了對政府保留的無線電頻率的接收，這對我們當然沒有失去作用。
