Using PCs & Laptops - No Radiation For You

PCs & Laptops can be fun and productive. But a side effect of using them is the EMF exposure. We will explain the exposures and how to reduce

That looks doable. Just ensure to make holes in the back for airflow.

EHS has no scientific basis and is not a recognised medical diagnosis. Claims are characterized by a "variety of non-specific symptoms, which afflicted individuals attribute to exposure to electromagnetic fields".[1]
Those who are self-described with EHS report adverse reactions to electromagnetic fields at intensities well below the maximum levels permitted by international radiation safety standards. The majority of provocation trials to date have found that such claimants are unable to distinguish between exposure and non-exposure to electromagnetic fields.

Put the blanket over the friend's head so can't see anything, and give him/her a hug. Otherwise, it's mostly about avoiding wireless (anything) and proximity matters.

I have a friend who suffers emf sensitivty. He has found that all computers are low emf if he wraps his head tightly with reynold's heavy duty aluminum foil. He does poke slits for his eyes. The foil must be reynold's brand. Store brands contain too much neutronium.

The only other way emf can enter the body is through the rectum, so he plugs that with a wad of crumpled foil and he's good to go with any computer.

The highest output of EMF in a computer would be the fans. Fans and similar electric motors put out a TON of EMF.

Passively cooled system with only solid state drives would have the lowest amount. Just don't go wrapping it in a blanket. 😛

Has your friend been tested for vampirism? Sunlight has tons of EMF. And the Sun puts out a lot more energy than anything humans made.

Yeah that's a good idea. Maybe get him a pack of blood matching his blood group from a blood bank and see if it makes him feel better.

DISCLAIMER: Blood proteins are pretty hard on the liver when blood is drunk!

Might be able to throw the machine inside a filing cabinet or similar large metal enclosure. Ground it. You'll still need air flow but you can probably duct it away from the user from the back, have a bottom intake and top exhaust. Some EMF will still come out but it should block most of it I would think? Simply putting the computer as far away as possible might work too. The further it is, the lower the EMF will be, and it's exponential based on distance.

Keep in mind LED and CFL bulbs probably put out just as much, if more, than a computer. The drivers in those don't tend to be high quality. Same with light dimmers, the monitor itself, plug packs etc... If he is truly sensitive to EMF I'd get an EMF meter and just start testing things.

Electric razors are the worst. Back in the days of analog TV, the set would pick up tons of static when my dad was shaving. The razor was about twenty feet from the TV with a floor and two walls in between.

I only have one thing that causes any perceptible interference, a buck switching LED driver board, that I put into a Dewalt gooseneck flashlight when I converted it from incandescent to LED.

The thing is, it causes FM radio reception interference, and if I was worried about that frequency range, well it's there constantly anyway because FM radio exists.

I'm more susceptible to audible frequency range emissions, like the high pitched whine that a Dyson cordless vac makes.

What effects do you feel?

 

[mindless1]

A headache. It's the frequency, my other vac is louder but lower freq.

I'm sensitive to this too, I apparently hear high-pitched frequencies that most people don't. A good example was a Logitech mouse that I had (G5 maybe?) that had a barely perceptible whine that was enough to give me a headache. I RMA'd the mouse twice thinking I had faulty units.

I finally contacted Logitech directly about it, and one of their engineers replied and informed me about a laser sensor on-off circuit in the unit that shut the laser off when not active. Most people would never hear or notice it, but he told me that it was known to them to make this electronic squeal. They ended up just exchanging the mouse for a KB, since I didn't want another mouse that would do the same thing.

High-power transmission lines are horrible if I'm near or right below them, as in making me almost feel ill. Old tube TVs, of course. Florescent lights, especially older ones. All of these and more bother me. Many people never notice.

Wow. Amazing that they would acknowledge the issue, instead of implying that you are crazy. Also great that you got a reply from an actual engineer, instead of some techsupport monkey.

Yeah, that instance was one of the reasons that I felt that Logitech's customer support was some of the best that I had dealt with, and still purchase their products to this day.
