Re: Check out www.theangellady.netAre you sure there are no ill effects. Maybe her insanity was caused by a UHF station. For that matter maybe we are all insane, besides I would be more worried about AM stations. Proximity to the antenna is much closer. Maybe she walked up and grabbed an AM tower when she was young. |

said by PDXPLT:I'd like to add this to the discussion: if 1W Wi-Fi AP's, and 50W cell phone base stations are so dangerous, how come there's all these 3,000,000 W EIRP UHF TV stations operating all these decades, with no ill-effects?! Many Consumer routers operate at 50mW, or 1/20th of a Watt And it's basically overkill to use a whole watt on a wifi AP. |

If you put your tongue across *both* terminals of a 9V, it won't kill you or do any real damage, AFAIK. Unless you jump back from the sharp tingle and fall or something! It's amazing how well society runs given the constituents. Are people just innately this stupid, or is it poor schooling that makes them such an embarrassment to themselves? Or is it willful ignorance in furtherance of some other cause? |

A 9V has enough mA to kill you, your skin just is not the best conductor. At least one person has died from a 9V powered Ohm meter and prongs pierced under the skin |

9V can do a lot of harm to you. A 9V battery, or two, that would be purchased at a local drug store doesn't have enough amps to hurt you. On the other hand, a 12V car battery has enough to do some real damage. Hence my analogy. |

You'd have a lot more credibility if you weren't mixing voltage and current.
That infamous sailor stuck metal probes into his skin and evidently touched a nerve. Even a watch battery could cause damage under those highly specific conditions. He was reckless, idiotic and a Darwin Award candidate.
However, that has absolutely nothing to do with this story. |

"These Wi-Fi transmitters function at 2.45 GHz, which is like being surrounded by a microwave without walls or doors." So what's next? Getting rid of all 2.4ghz and 5.8ghz cordless phones? What a bunch of lunatics. Stay home moms really need to find something to do besides complain. |

Well, there are stun guns that run off standard 9V batteries too. And a 9V dropped off the empire state building is probably deadly once it hits street level as well...

Re: radiation is radiation?said by Maxo:As scary as it seems, chronic exposure to Electromagnetic Radiation, will definitely harm your children. Again, too inclusive. "Will definitely" is definitely poor word choice with the only intent of creating fear.
I thought I read somewhere that the human body generates its own electro magnetic radiation on a small level. Oh wait, lets not forget this planet is out to kill us all, it generates its own electromagnetic radiation...... FEAR EARTH, LEAVE EARTH, EARTH KILLS!!! |
