How do I build a Faraday box? 9 hints left

Hint 1

After you get into Niko's computer --

Hint 2

-- you'll find that you need a way to get something electronic out of Niko's study without it getting zapped. And according to Ryan, what you need for this is a miniature Faraday cage. A Faraday box, in effect. Read to the end of this hint for step-by-step instructions on how to do this.

Hint 3

You can read more about Faraday cages in the blue book in your inventory. Remember the cage you were standing in when Ellie gave you a demo of the Tesla coil? That was a Faraday cage. You're going to be making a small version of that.

Hint 4

You need four items: a cardboard box, some metallic foil, a paper clip, and a binder clip.

Hint 5

Ryan gave you a box full of electronic components. You'll be using them later; what you need right now is the cardboard box.

Hint 6

For the metallic foil, go down to the photo lab and grab one of the empty silicon wafer wrappers from the cabinet. I thought those were mylar, but apparently they're foil.

Hint 7

And the two clips are available in the employee lounge, on the same desk where you got tape earlier.

Hint 8

In the lounge, put the cardboard box on the desk, then use the foil on it to wrap it up tight. Add a paper clip from the little bin at the back of the desk, then add a binder clip. Voila!

Hint 9

Take the box to Niko's study, and Nancy will use it automatically when the time comes.
