EMF Protection

No, and there is no need. Look up ionizing radiation.

Robin! You should NEVER look directly at ionizing radiation, that's a good way to ruin your eyes. That's like telling people to look directly at a solar eclipse. I like a good joke as much as the next bird, but show some responsibility.

It's shaping up to be one of THOSE weeks, I need to get some chuckles in while i still can.

But Bruce's mama always told him not to look into the sights of the sun, oh, but Mama, that's where the fun is.

The only real danger is sitting a hot laptop on your lap for extender periods of time (the underside can get hot enough to cause discomfort, and possibly burns or reproduction issues). Again, it depends on the make, model and hardware inside the laptop, but the fix is simple (and obvious) enough.

The rest of the products are scams. Worst one I saw was being sold at an international airport. It was from a high-end perfume seller (name withheld) and was labelled as an EMF protection solution that you sprayed onto your face to protect you from rays coming out of your CRT monitor (those old monitors with the really thick leaded glass).

Something like 85% shielding against EMF was advertised but the primary ingredient was water and the rest were just fragrances and moisturiser agents.

many thanks to all who answered i thought that a definitive answer was available, it would have been nice to see scientific

proof one way or another.

again thanks

Quite.

Exactly, Lyn. And as a wise philosopher⁽¹⁾ one said:

"Opinions are like buttholes: Everybody has one, and they all stink."

This is actually not the first this question has been asked on CR4.

Try a search of the CR4 website for many previous discussions which include specific scientific explanations and links.

Is FCC Class A or Class B certification not scientific enough?

The fact there is no reputable scientific studies showing there is an issue should be pretty telling in itself.

Try flipping it around and ask the purveyors of such equipment for scientific proof that their products are necessary, or even effective.

Chuck ? Is that you??

At the risk of being accused of blatant self-promotion, LynDoor™Industries does offer EMF protection for bad emissions with our FuzzBuster® 1000 product line.

It is up to 99% effective in keeping those bad vibes from killing your sperm.

Of course "up to 99% effective" also includes 0-98% uneffective, so it might be totally useless.

Hey! I think your pulling our legs.

It says 9% effective on your web site.

The first 9 is silent.

The only laptop HORROR worth protecting yourself from - would be the lithium battery catching fire. Have asbestos gloves handy . . .

You have a higher chance of getting asbestosis than a battery meltdown.

hello Grank here, i started this emf discussion so i will make another comment.

the safe level of emf is different in a lot of countries so to say what is good here is ok, is misleading, to go off subject a wee bit water is an example, different standards in different countries, there does not seem to be a consensus even in the scientific community, so an opinion was sought.

grank

grank, the "safe" level of radiation is the same the world over. That does not change when one crosses a border.

There may be differences of opinion about what constitutes a "safe" level, but the physical effect that the radiation has on the body does not change!

And, for the record, you sought scientific evidence. What you got was opinions.

I expect that if you consult scientific journals, you would perhaps get definitive answers, based on the tests and experiments conducted.

That is due to the differences between metric emissions and Imperial emissions. The electronic parts in the Americas are inch based and the parts in Europe are metric based. The differences in physical size cause differences in emissions.

Read up on resonance, antenna efficiency, shielding characteristics, open slot radiators, resonant cavities, wave guides, etc. Physical dimensions are part of the mathematical equations for all of these. As the physical size of all components change the emission characteristics change. Since the emission rules are much tighter in Europe you know that metric emissions are far more dangerous than Imperial emissions.

Laptop horror= believing everything anything you read on it!

We were worried about the EMF radiation from the transformers across the street. with a little investigation we discovered we were getting much more from our coffeemaker. Besides, I like the way the laptop keeps my lap warm in the Wintertime.
