How does a Faraday Cage work to protect against lightning, Electric Fields, and Electromagnetic Waves like radio and microwave but not visible light? Take a journey with Kathy while she covers the physics of the Faraday cage from Stephen Gray in 1729 to Faraday making his cage in 1837, his famous ice bucket experiment in 1843 and even the influence of Maxwell, Heaviside and Hertz!
