Scalar Wave - Energy

[xee2]

Transmitting out of a Faraday cage demonstration:

The transmitter is put inside of the 18/8 grade stainless steel container and a loop antenna receiver is put on the outside of the container. Using a 1.5 volt battery it is possable to transmit enough energy out of the Faraday cage to light an LED on the receiver loop antenna.

NOTE - This is not a scalar wave, it is inductive coupling.

A floating Faraday doesn't normally do the job very well. Have you Earth grounded the can?
Is the internal circuit electrically isolated from the can?

Even with the above, it is possible to induce via charge at close ranges if voltage is high enough.

You probably have more experience with things like this than I do. The stainless steel container is floating. Theoretically that should not make a difference, but it is always best to earth ground. Everthing inside is electrically isolated by heavy plastic so there is no electrical connection to the container.

I did this to prove to myself that it was possible and I thought I might as well post the results.

It is very possible. In fact, I think most claiming LEM transmission confirmation by using a Faraday cage have a faulty cage.

Also, while it is easy to muffle the electric side the magnetic can penetrate almost any non-ferrous wall. This usually means induction is kept to a very short distance. For instance, I believe you said the can was stainless steel. Some grades pass a magnetic field very easily.

The grounding is very important. The energy absorbed by the wall needs somewhere to go. Without grounding, the cage can act much like capacitive coupling.

18/8 grade stainless is nonmagnetic. So it is like having a copper container. There is no magnetic shielding. In fact, it is the magnetic field that is coupling through the container. As I pointed out earlier, a Faraday  cage does not shield against magnetic fields.
