Damping versus reflecting

You are correct that segments of the AC power feed act as resonators. They can do so because of the (RF) impedance changes at the ends of the segments, such as the breaker panel and the outlet. The same is true of AC power cords.

The cure for this, however, is damping rather than reflection. The "Zero Gauss" chamber would act as a severe impedance change for the RF on the AC wiring. This will just break the AC wiring into two segments with different RF resonant spectra. The RF will be reflected by the Zero Gauss device.

The Stillpoints ERS cloth, the Highwire Power Wraps, and perhaps other materials I don't know of, provide RF energy absorbtion rather than reflection. If the center portions of the dedicated lines were left accessible, these materials could be used to experiment with RF damping.
