That’s nothing. I’ve had the yips every since someone told me that there’s a tank of highly combustible fuel set to blow me a mile high right under my seat! I’m not even sure I should be talking about this. The car companies might try to shut me up.
Despite tons of research, no one has confirmed problems with electrical field exposure. High power lines carry far more current and at AC frequencies, and much longer exposure periods (24hrs a day) and there is still nothing.
Have you ever seen the pollution that thing can lay down in the roadway?
But it’s a healthy ORGANIC polution....
“Microwaves generally don’t bother pacemakers anymore because newer models have better shielding, but large industrial motors have enough of a magnetic field to affect pacemakers”
We can’t run our Autoclave in the office when there is a patient with a pacemaker. I feel bad for anyone with one of those things.
The pioneers are always the ones with the electromagnetic field arrows in their backs.
Driving a hybrid is like sitting inside a cell phone eh? lol
My point is that I don’t think that you’ll get 50 MPG strictly on a highway if the car is a gas/battery variety.....it’s still gas on the highway mostly..... and my cost number was from historic remembrance of costs which wasn’t all at $4/gallon.
I hope they don’t find out that they are being sterilized as they drive.
I didn’t ask you because I wasn’t interested in your particular situation (SUV or not) I only commented to the person that mentioned it was about 3300 miles and that was something I could readily relate to....I sure as heck couldn’t have related to saving $400/month because I don’t spend that much in the first place....sorry you were offended but my thoughts were elsewhere from why/what/where of your choice.
It might. A steady current will not radiate, but the varying movement of the entire vehicle, wires and all, could produce this. Not counting the effect of the rotation of the planet, which tends to be smooth.
It should be required by law that libs drive hybrids then.
Actually, there are a number of variables that factor into whether or not RF energy is dangerous to you. First, is it ionizing or non-ionizing? Secondly, what frequency is it (wavelength) and what is the field strength? What is the distance from it since the drop off is 1/R^2.
Where I'd start to get worried is when the wavelength gets to be in resonance with some important part of the body, sizewise because that can tend to cause maximum transfer of power. Then I'd be worried about how long I was exposed to it.
AC power lines are at 60 Hz which is a pretty damn long wavelength...I tend to look at this something like MRI equipment. Very damn powerful electromagnets but no harm (as yet determined) to human tissue.
I get calls occasionally because of the line of work I'm with exactly these kinds of complaints; a large majority of the people that actually find their way to me I'd classify as kooks.
Didn’t your mom tell you not to sit too close to the TV? And what are all of us sitting just inches away from?
My guess is that some digital engineer has figured out how to maximize something and has pulsed the supply to get better efficiency....just a guess...
Can’t be any worse than living under a powerline, which has been a topic for decades. I first heard of that when I was reading some IEEE journals a long time ago.
Believe it or not there are just some scum in this country that 'jess wanna get paid.'
Uh oh! Now you’ve gone and done it! Now, you’ve given them the idea! Shame on you!
