Hi, my name is Lloyd from electricsense.com. Electromagnetic fields are all around us.
So I want to show you how you can use this EMF meter to measure electromagnetic fields
from 15 appliances in your home. The microwave oven is switched off here, it's
plugged in on the wall, its giving us a reading of about 10 milligauss (Mg). Here I am holding
the tape measure to show that I am 60 cms (2 feet) away from the microwave oven. You
can see what happens when we switch the microwave oven on. The reading goes way past a 100 milligauss.
Microwave ovens like this one also give off dangerous levels of radio frequency radiation,
just like your cell phone, which the Trifield meter 100xe can also measure. Here I have
positioned the Trifield meter in close proximity to the flat screen TV. You can see by the
red light that it's on stand by and when I switch the TV on the light goes green and
we get a reading of between 4 and 5 milligauss. The ghetto-blaster is switched off and unplugged.
Watch what happens when we plug it in; the reading goes right over 100 milligauss; this
is without even playing any music. This is one of those AC/DC adaptors, which
so many pieces of electrical equipment have these days. As soon as you plug it into the
wall the reading goes over 100 milligauss. This is one of those cordless phones, which
you can find in most homes now. All I am doing here is plugging it into the electric and
has you can see I am getting over 25 milligauss. The worst part of radiation with this phone
is not actually the magnetic radiation, it's the microwave radiation which I show you in
another video. This is a Nintendo Wii, which I plug into
the wall as you can see, I get a reading between 6 and 7 milligauss.
Here I am on the electrical setting on the Trifield meter. When I plug the Nintendo DS
into the wall you can see I get a reading of about 350 volts per meter.
The Sony PlayStation as you can see when we plug it into the walls, is giving us a reading
of between 3 and 6 milligauss. But your child will be also receiving microwave radiations
if they are using it in wireless mode. Here the trifield meter is measuring the magnetic
radiations from a laptop computer. We are getting a reading of about 35 milligauss.
If you are using it with a Wi-Fi router then you can add into the mix the microwave radiations
also. Here the Trifield is showing us the electrical
radiation from a conventional light bulb. As you can see it's well over 100 volts per
meter. Here the Trifield is measuring the magnetic
radiation from a CFL; you see we have got about 8 milligauss. But added to this is microwave
radiation just like a cell phone, which an ordinary light bulb does not give of.
This electric razor is giving over 100 milligauss of radiation when it's plug in to the main
when it's switch on. This electric oven is giving of about 7 milligauss
when it's switch off and 50 when it's switched on.
This electric hairdryer gives of over 100 milligauss when in use.
This electric clock radio is giving of over 100 milligauss as soon as it's plugged into
the wall.
