Hidden Hybrid Automobile Dangers, What You Should Know About EMFs?????

[blobpet]

For those worried about EMF, I've got a Q-Ray bracelet to sell you.

Quoting from the article
"Neysa Linzer, 58, says that since she bought her Honda Civic Hybrid her blood pressure has increased and that she has fallen asleep at the wheel 3 times. She believes her hybrid is causing her health problems, "I never had a sleepiness problem before," she said. She requested that Honda provide her with shielding material to protect her from the fields but Honda declined."

Sounds to me like Obstructive Sleep Apnoea, which is a much more commoner cause of daytime somnolence, than the supposed EMF. No input from her physician either.

She should have bought a Prius, the Honda is so boring it's sending her to sleep. The blood pressure is caused by having to live with her mistakes.

Hi Tom,

I think nickel foil would work much better for those magnetic fields. I have seen situations where the fields from a power supply transmformer will go right through an aluminum cabinet of another piece of test equiment and disrupt low power circuits in that other piece of equipement.

So you think we need to use mu metal shielding? I wonder if we have to worry about ionizing radiation too? Now I'm really getting worried.

When I worked with MRI designs, we would use big plates of mu metal to completely line the suites. We had to keep out the RF and the magnetic fields. Without the shielding you could see radio stations in the image: "What's that spot on your liver? Oh, I think it's WKRP."

Actually, I have it on good authority that the EMF radiation causes you to post that gas will drop to $2.50/gallon....

Where's that guy who said he planned to spend thousands lining his Prius with mu metal? I wonder how that worked out for him.

Maybe she kept falling asleep because the Hybrid was too quiet and her blood pressure has increased because of the increase in aggressive drivers!

I'd go with the tinfoil. Those UFO people use it and it works well for them! If it ain't broke don't fix it!

Okay, enough with the jokes already. Is there any scientific data to either support or debunk the story that EMFs given off in a Prius are dangeous to my health? I see where some company is marketing silicon disks the size of saucers to fit over the modules of the batteries at $65 each. So what's the deal with that?
