the Tunguska

Wasn't the Tunguska a Russian short range mobile anti-aircraft unit?

nah I'm not getting you there, how are readings obtained then if the body does not affect the MRI

I didn't say that. I said the body does affect the MRI, but what you are concerned about is the other way around, where the MRI affects the body.

Got you. It would be quite a body that does affect the MRI. Still a lot of high frequency exposure. Apparently some patients experience an increase in body temperature especially amongst the obese.

So it is your living room now which is a flow of magnetic energy and you don't have to bother with central heating, 2 birds with one stone.

I think that with BOLD (Blood Oxygenation Level something or other) functional MRI, the magnetic field makes the iron component of blood spin and this is picked up the the MRI. This doesn't affect any physiological functions. Mrs Old Greg works in the MRI research business so I pick bits up, but may have some of the details wrong.

Feng Shui Consultants are gonna be out of work, then.

You can turn it off when you smell your liver cooking

What I didn't get when I read the article earlier was about how it's something like 40% efficient. So you bung in 100% of power to the transmitter and 60% of it is lost??? Doesn't really sound all that promising to me. Unless that's just in the test set up they used and the real thing will be 100% efficient.

Well that’s bound to happen, think of it like filling up a milk bottle with a very fast running tap, you're going to lose some on the way.

So where that 60% going, your liver as lost heat? sniff sniff

Do you seriously think that anything in this world is 100% efficient......
