Portable GaussMeter Recorder: Big Enough for EMF Field Analysis?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the design requirements for a portable GaussMeter recorder intended for EMF field analysis. The device does not need to be lightweight or aesthetically pleasing, but should be compact, similar in size to a laptop. It should provide real-time readings with a sampling rate of 1/5 seconds and be capable of writing data to various media for PC access. The Gaussmeter must measure electromagnetic fields in the milligauss to tenths of Gauss range. The goal is to create an affordable, wearable EMF recorder that can be used by multiple individuals to gather data on exposure levels throughout the day.

How big/tough a portable recorder GaussMeter project would be?

It does not need to be light (tho not heavier/bigger than a laptop?) and it does not need to be nice looking. The realtime reading can be anything (Galva/LED/...) and sampling rate 1/second is fast enough (even too fast; as 1/5sec would be accurate IMO). It shall be able to write data to any media that can then be read on a PC (MagCard/usb stick-link/... whatever) at same sampling rate. Field range of Gaussmeter need to read in the mG to few tenths of Gauss.

Idea is to have a wearable EMF recorder for further analysis/statistic. Carried all day by different people would help define who face the most exposures and where they are. Cheap would be good too as it would be possible to make more samples to have better sampling of data.

Thanks for your time.

Thanks; I know those, but wanted to have a more 'adapted' system; hence designed to the needs. I already have some products like this and they are useful.
 
Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'
I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'
My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
