1.  Overview

Observations of the ARS phenomenon carried out so far indicate that the ARS remote sensing pulse and possibly some other ARS types exhibit "acoustic wave like" behavior and "electromagnetic properties".  As such effective anti-ARS shielding should include both acoustic as well as electromagnetic shielding requiring airtight shielding of gaps throughout the entire shielding dome including the floor.  The use of a shielded sleeping station is a must for a site contaminated with ARS.  Observations made using the within the PSS (including while using the DPTOAVS) also suggest that the ARS matter is something which can be remotely induced in air at desired points of space if the shielding used is not sufficient.  As such a thoughtful distributed design of the air intake and pass through system for a shielded sleeping station may be required, although shielding improvements appear to relax this requirement.

Current attempts to shield from ARS involve the use of a combination of steel panels, aluminum foil, and thermal/space blankets.  The improvements carried out aimed at reducing and patching of the gaps in the protective dome have demonstrated some reduction in the ARS exposure once the shielding achieved a certain level of quality.  Activities carried out so far indicate that shielding from ARS should be possible but may be very difficult since it requires a tedious reduction/patching of gaps in the shielding dome and will likely require more than one layer of a combination of shielding materials to be effective.

Experiments suggest a correlation between the intensity of the ARS effects experienced by the Affected Person inside of the PSS and the strength of WiFi signals inside of the PSS.  As such, one way of improving the shielding quality is to test the presence of WiFi networks detectable inside of the sleeping station (by using a laptop, since it was found to be more sensitive than using a cell phone).  A laptop may still detect networks where a cell phone would show no networks found.  It should be pointed out that even though the ARS phenomena appears to be induced with the assistance of some electromagnetic means, it appears to involve physical effects which go beyond the current widely accepted level of scientific knowledge.  Testing for the presence of the cell phone signal is also useful but requires a more elaborate shielding setup due to the higher intensity and longer wavelength of the cell phone electromagnetic radiation compared to WiFi.

The use of other shielding materials such as plywood could also be potentially beneficial (and used in combination with conductive materials such as aluminum foil) but have not been thoroughly tested yet.  The results of the ARS Laundry room test indicate however that the painted wooden materials (laundry room doors) are capable of abstracting the propagation of the ARS remote sensing pulse.

The need for shielding improvements and patching was once again realized while placing additional metal panels inside of the PSS as shown in Fig. 1 to achieve an additional reduction of the perceived ARS effects which would usually be felt as spatial vibrations as well some heating and/or burning sensations.  One of the first steps in preparation for shielding improvements was cutting the metal panels for the metal dome to size to have fewer gaps as shown in Fig. 2 for subsequent gaps patching with aluminum foil to be followed by lowering the space/thermal blanket shield over the PSS dome as shown in Fig. 3.  The design of the entrance is currently obscured for an undisclosed reason.  Once the configuration shown in Fig. 2 was implemented there has been some aluminum foil patching of the corners, the figure to be provided later.

Fig. 3 shows the shielded dome of Fig. 2 with the space/thermal blanket shield lowered over it.  After this configuration was complete for the first time a remote sensing pulse was clearly felt by the Affected Person as propagating from the floor up into the PSS similar to the experience of the Foam mattress on the floor with a roof test.  This test indicated the need for shielding of the floor of the PSS and also suggests that the ARS remote sensing pulse is able to propagate well through carpets.

2.  Floor

The shielding of the floor included a layer of aluminum foil strip tightly affixed to the metal dome and concrete columns with a painter's tape as shown in Fig. 4.  As can be seen, covering the entire floor with aluminum foil continuously was not originally implemented.  After that two space/thermal blankets were placed over the floor at 90 degrees to each other and affixed to the sides of the PSS with painter's tape as shown in Fig. 5.  As the last step several metal panels were placed with an overlap over the thermal blankets as shown in Fig. 6.  In addition to the shielding of the floor some patching of the support columns was carried out to reduce the capability of the remote sensing pulse to propagate from under the carpet inside of the PSS, as shown in Fig. 7 though 9.  An additional layer of shielding may be introduced to under the support columns in the future.  Even though this configuration did improve the shielding of the PSS it proved to be insufficient and still requiring improvements.

More recent effort included a continuous aluminum foil floor re-shielding (work in progress shown in Fig. 10 and 11) and demonstrated a significant shielding benefit if done air tight.  Prior to the air-tight floor re-shielding a very localized mixed ARS type (sharing features of a combination of different ARS types currently uncategorized) propagating from the floor up was felt in the PSS with the capability of being focused within different body parts (i.e. within the legs above the knees, as well as the neck and head) for ARS matter deposition.  A second layer of aluminum foil shielding was added and appears to improve the floor shielding efficiency.  Observations suggest that air tight floor shielding is a must have component which cannot be omitted, and that any damage in the floor air tight shielding must be thoroughly patched separately in each damaged layer of the floor shield.

Further improvements of the floor shield planned include (1) a third layer of aluminum foil, (2) a layer of higher quality space thermal shield, (3) a layer of cardboard to protect the aluminum foil layers, and (4) a layer of metal panels with aluminum foil gaps patching.

3.  Ceiling and Roof

No elaborate ceiling experimentation has been carried out so far but it was noticed that after the number of metal panel shielding layers of the top layer was increased to 3 as shown in Fig. 12 and 13 a substantial initial reduction of the ARS effects felt inside of the PSS was experienced.  It should be pointed out that there is an additional single layer of metal panels layer directly above the bed metal frame.  The presence of the gap between the 3-layer roof cover and the metal frame is likely a shielding vulnerability.

The removal of the mattress was attempted as shown in Fig. 14 but resulted in harsh burning vibrating cloud effects.  As such, the mattress was placed back but one of the 3 layers of metal panels previously stacked at the roof as shown in Fig. 12 and 13 was moved to under the mattress as shown in Fig. 15 and 16. The distributed multi-layer design seems to provide better anti-ARS shielding than stacked closely spaced multi-layer structures which is consistent with the results observed in the DSS sleeping station previously.  A second layer side shielding extension was introduced as shown in Fig. 17 to remedy a rather strong burning vibrating cloud effect felt after the configuration of Fig. 15 and 16 was first implemented.

Future shielding improvements will likely include a modification including a continuous 90-degree crisscross metal panels overlapped cover of the roof extending to the sides directly above the metal frame (in addition to a single layer metal panels layer directly above the metal frame currently in place.  This would form a closely spaced 3-layer roof cover directly above the metal frame (possibly with some interlayer spacer materials) and extend to the sides in a cross-shaped manner for sides shielding.

Aluminum foil shielding of ceiling gaps is being carried out inside of the PSS as illustrated in Fig. 18 and 19 and appears to improve the shielding efficiency slightly for gaps with larger spacing such as the section shown in Fig. 18 (unshielded) and Fig. 19 (shielded).  Later experiments suggested a need for an all-around aluminum foil shielding which is being implemented for the entire PSS as described later on this page.

4.  Sides

The patch shielding of the side gaps in a manner similar to the technique depicted in Fig. 19 above is an ongoing effort.  The shielding of the corners of the dome carried out so far did result in some shielding improvements.  The effect of the addition of an extra side panel shown in Fig. 17 suggests that side panel shielding could potentially benefit from a multi-layer structure but has not been implemented.

5.  Entrance

The gaps between the PSS enclosure and the entrance door were found to be the weakness in the shielding of the PSS.  Specifically, a door with substantial gaps (the exact numbers are unclear but gaps of several millimeters appear to already be big enough) will let in the vibrating cloud type of ARS and another type which causes a perception of "cloud of heat", and possibly some other ARS types.

The solution originally deployed to reduce this vulnerability was by placing a higher quality space/thermal blanket material cover (a poncho (Fig.1) and a sleeping bag (Fig. 12) are currently used) over the entrance door outside and inside which has proven to reduce the strength of the remote sensing pulse felt in the PSS as well as the number of WiFi networks visible inside of the PSS.  Later experiments indicated that just the addition of the space/thermal blankets is not sufficient by itself for anti-ARS shielding but rather a more elaborate metal door structure is needed i.e. a vertical (up and down) two sided overlapped door is currently being used as shown in Fig. 20 though 23.  Fig. 23 was taken after a partial lining of the inside of the PSS with aluminum foil has been performed.

It is worth pointing out in reference to Fig. 20 though 23 that for a long time the bottom cover of the door would be shut second (overlapped over the top section).  This configuration was found to result in a better shielding effect than when the top door cover is closed after the bottom cover is closed (top cover over the bottom cover).

Limited door configuration experiments carried out so far indicate the need for a more thorough door design with a tighter electromagnetic field (EMF) and air seal and suggest that a dual door structure may be needed / beneficial.

Previously it was suggested that a better door air-seal could be created when there is some pressure difference between the inside and outside of the PSS which could be achieved by regulating the airflow rate of the intake and/or evacuation Bissell air400 units of the DPTOAVS system used in the PSS.  Upon further observations this approach is not recommended because it could cause the air surrounding the PSS (which could likely be ARS contaminated) to be sucked into the PSS which is undesirable.

6.  Support columns

The presence of concrete support columns with no shielding (electromagnetic and/or air-tight) implemented underneath appears to be a weak spot in the shielding of the PSS.   The support columns base gaps filling of the PSS shown in Fig. 7, 8 and 9 proved to be insufficient.  Since the redesign of the sleeping station is not viable at this point, the shielding of the columns is being attempted inside of the PSS to access the usefulness of electromagnetic shielding against the ARS effects.  Alternative designs of the sleeping station using slimmer and more lightweight support columns is necessary.

7.  Shielding materials (Aluminum foil lined steel, STEEAL)

The primary conductive shielding material originally selected for PSS due to the low cost and relatively high thickness are roofing steel panels (8 or 12 feet long, 25.75 inch wide, corrugated bare unpainted galvanized steel, 31-gauge (0.277 mm) roof panels by Gibraltar Building Products https://gibraltarbuildingproducts.com).  Recently a decline in the effectiveness of the shielding was observed in that the pulsed injection ARS type was observed inside of the PSS which in the past would only happen when significant gaps in the dome where present, or if the air surrounding the PSS would be sucked into the sleeping station by the DPTOAVS air evacuation Bissell air400 unit.

The cell phone tests performed inside of the PSS revealed that the current shielding approach does not block the cell phone signal inside of the PSS.  The shielding from the cell phone signal was found to be so inadequate in fact that a connection with a 5G cell phone tower could be established and cell phone calls still be made from inside of the PSS.  Even though electromagnetic field (EMF) shielding was not the main purpose of the sleeping station research, it was observed that there appears to be a correlation between the standard EMF shielding efficiency and the reduction in the intensity of ARS phenomena.  The ARS effects are believed to be induced with the help of a form of electromagnetic interaction.

Writer was not originally aware of the fact that Steel, as it turns out, is only suitable as a shielding material for lower frequencies up to about 1 GHz which means it is not well suited for shielding from the cell phone signals, WiFi, ground penetrating radar, and other "see through the wall" techniques.

As such, complete aluminum foil lining of the inside of the PSS is being implemented.  Even though the aluminum foil lining of the inside of the PSS has not been completed yet and still has some gaps, the incomplete shielding (work in progress shown in Fig. 23 through 25) appears to have substantially reduced the intensity of the pulsed injection observed inside of the PSS and lead to the Affected Person waking up with less ARS-induced discomfort and less pronounced dark circles under the eyes observed to be correlated with the perceived ARS discomfort.  Also, one time after the partial aluminum foil lining was complete a remote sensing pulse was observed followed by an implant both felt by the AP as having voids in their 3D structure and appearing to be less efficient or not efficient.

As can be seen from Fig. 25, there is a unsealed gap on the left next to the pillow.  After the configuration shown in Fig. 25 was implemented the Affected Person could feel a repeated remote sensing pulse originated from the direction of the gap on the left, with the origin of the remote sensing pulse felt approaching the location of the head of the AP with each consecutive remote sensing pulse.  A similar observation was previously made within the DSS sleeping station.

Despite the overall physical improvement ever since the aluminum lining of PSS was started the Affected Person started experiencing weird dreams (or "cartoons") commonly accompanied by some music heard on a more consistent basis upon waking up in the PSS.  The intensity of the perceived cartoons appears to be reducing as the lining of the PSS is further improved towards a complete all around aluminum coverage and appears to be easier to alleviate by reading i.e. a Kathisma of Psalter.  It is speculated that the EMF reflective properties of aluminum / and or electric conductivity may be a contributing factor to the increased "cartoons" experience.  A such it is possible that aluminum lining of the steel panels on the outside could result in a better shielding effect but cannot be tested in the current design of the PSS.  The addition of aluminum shielding appears to have resulted in a substantial overall improvement but may have also intensified some ARS effects.

Though not completely implemented yet, the demonstrated effectiveness of the partial aluminum foil shielding added to the steel frame suggests that the use of higher frequency (~ 1GHz and above) electromagnetic radiation in the range of cell phone and WiFi frequencies may be in place in administering the ARS.  This assumption is further supported by the fact that the entrance side of the PSS was left largely unshielded (limited additional aluminum layer coverage over the steel roof panels) in the hope of improving the design of the entrance prior to adding the aluminum shielding to it.  A range of substantial ARS effects (vibrations, burning and drying sensations etc.) was still felt inside of the PSS until after an aluminum layer was added on the outside to the side containing the entrance.

Even though the addition of aluminum foil shielding appears being very efficient, it may not be sufficient on its own. The higher thickness, magnetic properties and shielding efficiency of steel at lower frequencies may be providing additional shielding non-magnetic aluminum cannot provide.  Past observations indicated the capability of bulky steel objects to divert and shield from some ARS phenomena.  Even if aluminum alone was able to provide the shielding necessary, it is not as readily available as panels and would be more expensive to use at higher layer thicknesses comparable to the thickness of steel panels used.  It is also possible that electromagnetic radiation of variable wavelengths could be used in ARS administration including longer wavelength (lower frequency i.e. radio waves) in which case the presence of the steel panels could be beneficial.

Experimentation suggests that an anti-ARS shielding may have to include an air-tight structure (i. e. made out of plywood) and also have 2 shielding layers: (1) one layer of ferrous material such as steel, (2) a layer of highly conductive non-magnetic material to be effective.  An affordable combination of materials with such properties may be the use of roof steel panels lined with aluminum foil which will later be referred to as STEEAL (Steel + Aluminum (Al)).  The use of other metals such as copper in combination with steel, and/or painting steel with EMF paint would likely also work but has not been tested.

8.  Sleeping surface

Writer recently stayed at a hotel during the Pentecost weekend to attend services at an Orthodox church.  The hotel happened to have metal platform bed frames as shown in Fig. 26 and 27.  Given the observed anti-ARS shielding capabilities of metals such bed frames could be useful in the designs of a sleeping station.  The hotel also had metal panels on the roof as can be seen from Fig. 28 and 29, although it is not clear if they extend along the entire roof surface or are only covering towers and areas close to the edges.

It should be pointed out that another hotel located in proximity to the one shown in Fig. 26 though 29 where the electrical distribution box (see Fig. 1) was photographed also has metal platform bed frames installed.  That other hotel also appears to have some acoustic material affixed to the ceiling.

9.  Conclusions

The shielding experiments carried out so far demonstrated a reduction in the perceived strength of ARS effects experienced by the Affected Person in the PSS.  However the shielding is difficult to implement due to the tight requirements for the shielding of all gaps and possibly a multi-layer structure.  While the initial shielding may be substantial once implemented it usually goes down substantially shortly after which is attributed to modifications carried out by the ARS administration personnel to bypass the shielding improvements.  The use of steel roof panels lined with aluminum foil (STEEAL) holds promise as an efficient and cost-effective material for anti-ARS shielding.

At the time of this writing no complete shielding has been achieved and the current level of shielding quality is useful but requires improvements.  The latest shielding approaches using STEEAL in combination with DPTOAVS are an ongoing effort which appears being capable of bringing down the intensity of the perceived ARS effects inside of the PSS to a lower saturation level allowing a comfortable enough sleep and a physical state considered manageable as opposed to unbearable upon waking up.

Shielding experiments performed so far suggest the need for an air tight structure in addition to electromagnetic shielding to have higher efficiency.  Further shielding improvements are needed to establish the realistic shielding efficiency achievable using the current approach.  Since the PSS was not originally designed to be air-tight, a new sleeping station design would be needed to properly implement an air-tight shielding approach.

The electromagnetic shielding of the PSS also leaves much to be desired, cell phone signal is still present in the PSS. and the cell phone calls can be made even though the level of the detected cell phone signal went down.  A few WiFi networks can still be detected from inside of the PSS.  Future ARS research would require a structure capable of delivering a complete shielding from the WiFi and cell phone signal inside of the sleeping station so that no signal is detected inside.  Until after a complete EMF shielding of the sleeping station is carried out further ARS research cannot be effectively done due to the multiple test components invovled.  The original design of the PSS does not facilitate easy shielding improvements.

The experiments carried out to date suggest that a "Матрёшка" ("Matryoshka" nesting doll)-like shielding structure may be required for proper shielding due to the high penetration capabilities of the ARS methods.

The use of space/thermal blankets (Swiss Safe Emergency Mylar Thermal Blankets, UPC: 810035530188 are currently used) did not prove to provide substantial enough shielding to be effective on it own and as such may only be considered a supplementary shielding material unless thicker and more aluminized material and/or larger number of layers is used.  The use of thicker space/thermal blankets or a larger number of layers is needed.  The use of less expensive space/thermal blankets inside of the sleeping station is probably not recommended.
