Microwaves interfering with vehicles electronics

AI Thread Summary
A salvaged magnetron from a microwave oven can potentially interfere with vehicle electronics if housed correctly, but effectiveness depends on the frequencies of the targeted receivers. The discussion emphasizes that understanding the specific frequencies is crucial for interference. Additionally, it advises against seeking methods for jamming electronics in this context. Overall, the feasibility of using a magnetron for interference hinges on technical knowledge of electronic signals. Engaging in such activities may have legal and ethical implications.

i am interested in weather or not a salvaged magnatron from a microwave oven will be enough to interfer with electronics if it were to be housed in an aluminum box with a tube on the side that the magnatronwould be emitting from to (direct the emissions)?

Depends on what frequencies the receiver is tuned to. If your wanting to know how to jam electronics and interfere with electronic signals, you should go else where to learn that.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
