How do I stop multiple radio frequencies ....Micro, Infra an

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on finding ways to block multiple radio frequencies, including micro and infrared, particularly in a travel context. Suggestions include building a Faraday cage, which is effective but impractical for mobility. The idea of wearing magnets for protection is questioned, with warnings against relying on pseudoscience. A retired electronic engineer shares that while tin foil can block signals, it may not be the best solution and could pose health risks, especially in hot weather. The conversation highlights concerns about the potential health impacts of electromagnetic radiation, with some participants emphasizing the lack of scientific evidence supporting claims of harm from low-intensity non-ionizing radiation. Ultimately, the thread concludes with a call for scientific discourse, dismissing unverified claims and locking the discussion.

How do I stop multiple radio frequencies ...Micro, Infra and combined frequencies used in a sweep rotation(?? guessing here) ...from any space.
Thank you for any advice you can give. Been traveling.
For the record I thought...wearing magnets ?? I have some minimal back ground in RF but am a quick learner. NO matter how complex the information passed on I will figure it out.

Build a Faraday cage.
 
Considering infrared this Faraday cage should be a solid sheet of metal. Which does indeed shield most of the electromagnetic frequency spectrum, but (a) it is horribly impractical and (b) I don't see an application for that for traveling.

Why exactly would you expect that to matter?
Don't trust pseudoscience websites trying to sell you useless junk.

Need more info. What do you mean by a "sweep rotation"?

Not funny when kid's health are involved. I thought this blog was for the scientific based. I am desperate for answers not for humility I will not visit this Forum again. Wish you all well despite the responses. In the light of July Fourth...remember those who have fought for this celebration of Independence.

Please talk with your family doctor about these issues. He or she should be able to recommend some appropriate treatments.

You got good answers.

Im a retired electronic engineer and I have personally used tin foil to block unwanted radio signals. It's not always the best solution but it works ok in the right situation.

I don't really want to comment on the physical or mental health impacts of trying to screen someone from radio waves. However the human body is an electrical machine and I can see it might actualy cause more harm than prevent it.

In hot weather conditions this reflective attire will trap infrared wavelengths as well as blocking any unwanted frequencies. The overheating that will result can cause permanent injury or death.

So what Gus is sayin' is that you're damned if you do, and damned if you don't. Use chicken wire instead -- it is breathable and still blocks frequencies above about 900MHz...

And as an added benefit it allows ultraviolet wavelengths to reach your skin where it produces vitamin D.

Great! I don't recall any scientific evidence that those cause any harm whatsoever. Just glad I won't have any WiFi cancer rays hitting me.

I am not aware of any clear, reputable studies supporting the idea that low intensity non-ionizing EM radiation poses a health threat to anyone.

This website is exactly that. And the scientific answer is exactly what I just gave you. If you don't accept that answer then you either don't believe me or you aren't interested a scientific answer.

Either way, thread locked.
