Back in WWII when RADAR was invented they did not understand electromagnetic properties on the body at close range. Have you ever put a cup of water in the microwave take it out before boiling… yet after it is taken out it still continues to heat and even boil? The molecules are still shaking.

So back to WWII on occasion a sailor would stand too close to the waveguide while painting or something similar, they’d walk away, eyes would feel sore… next thing pop! True.. the liquid in the eyes evaporated.

It’s the reason now why on most surface vessels have painted on the roof, below the RADAR, do not stand in this area.

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

Yep - it will all end up in your liver.

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.

Do you seriously think that anything in this world is 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.

You can turn it off when you smell your liver cooking

So it is your living room now which is a flow of magnetic energy

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

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

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.

[scooterscot]

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.

the Tunguska

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

[scooterscot]

Of course, we don't know long-term effects of constant exposure.

What about people who live near to pylons? They might disagree..

Didn't Nicoli Tesla invent this, yonks ago. If you get the resonance frequency just right you can cause mid air explosions. Tesla caused the Tunguska event this way. Airburst of a meteroid, nice coverup story!
