Milledgeville, GA | Lets test him.... Maybe someone should set up some AP's around his property (without him knowing) with directional antennas pointed at it and see if he can feel them =P, and while you at it turn up the power to 251mw =P | |

| Re: Lets test him.... sure the microwave may use 1200W, but how much actaully gets out into the room? probably not alot considering the magnetron (the device that radiates the microwaves) is kept in a small (or large) metal cage that in theory, no microwaves leak out, in reality, only a small amount leaks out probably (don't know exactly, so look it up if you're interested). if it wasn't in a metal cage, well some funky (electronic devices freak out) or deadly (literal cooking of yourself) stuff will be happening. | |

| Re: Lets test him.... But enough DOES leak out to interfere with wireless routers - so if this guy is 'allergic' to the tiny signal put out by a router, he should be equally allergic to the small amount of leakage from a microwave oven.
Or a cordless phone.

Cellphone drops call when closer than 1 inch to a seam at the door. Does not drop call when microwave is off. | |

| I'll bet they would complain about harm to their health even
if the devices weren't connected to a power source (and thus
not transmitting anything).
In a previous story here on Wi-Fi tinfoil hattery, one
poster related just such a story. The device had been put
up on the pole, but no power had been applied yet. But some
idiots still said they felt harmful effects from it.

| yet nobody has complained about the airport yet which uses radar and many radars use microwaves which is somewhere in the 2.4ghz band as a radar is pretty much similar tech to a microwave oven(heck its how the cooking was discovered)
