RFID Chips Fried and Crisp

Filed in archive Implementation on June 27, 2006

This article is particularly for those who are fed up of RFID in their lives and want to free themselves from the clutches of RFID. Lately we have seen RFID in our clothing, food, passport, licenses, pets and our livestock. There seems to be a possibility when even you and I may be tagged.

Now let me give you the recipe for fried RFID. RFID works by picking up radio signal from the wand by making use of a large in-chip antenna. The energy is stored in for a short period of time to gather enough energy to activate the chips. If you send a strong enough signal you will be able to do the trick. A microwave oven on high for two seconds would solve your purpose.

Some warning before you try this at home. Putting metallic object in microwave can cause sparks and start fire. Anything you do is at your own risk. I am not suggesting you to try this.
