Dangers of EMF from Hybrid battery?

[Dilemma]

I take everything 50/50 until more information is available. 

 

Gave the person next to me a headache. 

 

You're ok if there is nothing wrong with you compared with previous. 

 

sadly after these few years, i'm having trouble standing up.

Perhaps look into using aluminium foil as a shield?

witscience is a satire site. You know, fake news. It also has an article about scientific proof on the existence of God.

 

Anybody with any casual understanding of SAR will know the numbers are pure nonsense. DC does not transmit, let alone absorb.

Some numbers from a study.

 

Dell laptop computer, sitting on lap: SAR+ 0.0012 W/kg
1000W Microwave Oven, 2″ from vents:  SAR+ 0.97 W/kg
Apple iPhone 5S, 5mm from head: SAR+ 1.114 W/kg

 

 

2014 Toyota Prius V: SAR+ 4.09 W/kg

2014 Chevrolet Volt: SAR+ 4.11 W/kg
2014 Honda CR-Z: SAR+ 4.23 W/kg
2014 Ford Fusion Energi: SAR+ 5.36 W/kg

Fake or not, does't mean the issue is not there.

My interest in that "fake" website is how real the numbers are. 

 

Perhaps someone may say this website is also "fake"

although all our high tension power cables are underground, there are plenty of transformers to step up down the voltages everywhere.

 

I wonder have you been able to aviod living or working next to one?

So Wyoming Institute of Technology does not exist but the numbers they published are "real"....

 

From the link you pasted:

 

“In this series of tests, we found no evidence that hybrids expose drivers to significantly more EMF than do conventional cars. Consider this myth, busted.”

 

Like I said, I am not going to tell you there is no risk. If you are genuinely afraid, stop using your cellphone first, because whatever the hybrid car has, the cellphone has more, in greater density and proximity.

 

Stop people around you from using cellphones too.

 

Stop driving.

 

Oh, and move to Mars, because the Earth is one huge electromagnetic field... you know how a compass works right?

I hope those affected do not know you.  Good luck !

Another can of worms.  This one must use compass. 

Personally, this one I know more of the unreal than real.

bro, have you tried sitting next to a high tension tranformer room. 22kv type using a CRT screen? haha

You don't even need to be so close,  just need to be a floor below a computer facility with a CRT monitor.  

The quality of the monitor does matter,  it is price-vs-performance. 

 

P.S.   the earth magnetic field do affect analog CRT monitors.  One may need to face a certain direction ( fengshui? ) for that perfect square.

Generally, yes, potentially can cause cancer these electromagnetic radiation.

 

Thanks, good to bring up this thread, will definitely increase awareness to the public and hopefully more responsibility from car manufacturer.

 

 

Some specific updates: Regarding patients with pacemaker or AICD (Automatic Implantable Cardioverter-Defebrillator).

 

In some cases, implanted devices may sense signals from electrical or magnetic objects and misinterpreted them as potential distress coming from the patient's heart.

 

Luis R. Scott, M.D., Cardiologist, and Fernando Tondato, M.D., Cardiology Fellow, both of Mayo Clinic in Arizona and the study's lead investigators, called for additional study. They said that although the study results revealed that the car tested did not generate clinically relevant amounts of EMI and that the car is safe for patients with implanted devices,

Design guidelines to reduce the magnetic field in electric vehicles

SINTEF, Jan 6, 2014

 

Based on the measurements and on extensive simulation work the project arrived on the following design guidelines to, if necessary, minimize the magnetic field in electric vehicles.

Cables

• For any DC cable carrying significant amount of current, it should be made in the form of a twisted pair so that the currents in the pair always flow in the opposite directions. This will minimise its EMF emission.
• For three-phase AC cables, three wires should be twisted and made as close as possible so as to minimise its EMF emission.
• All power cables should be positioned as far away as possible from the passenger seat area, and their layout should not form a loop. If cable distance is less than 200mm away from the passenger seats, some forms of shielding should be adopted.
• A thin layer of ferromagnetic shield is recommended as this is cost-effective solution for the reduction of EMF emission as well EMI emission.
• Where possible, power cables should be laid such a way that they are separated from the passenger seat area by a steel sheet, e.g., under a steel metallic chassis, or inside a steel trunk.

Motors

• Where possible, the motor should be installed farther away from the passenger seat area, and its rotation axis should not point to the seat region.
• If weight permits, the motor housing should be made of steel, rather than aluminium, as the former has a much better shielding effect.
• If the distance of the motor and passenger seat area is less than 500mm, some forms of shielding should be employed. For example, a steel plate could be placed between the motor and the passenger seat region
• Motor housing should be electrically well connected to the vehicle metallic chassis to minimise any electrical potential.
• Inverter and motor should be mounted as close as possible to each other to minimise the cable length between the two.

Batteries

• Since batteries are distributed, the currents in the batteries and in the interconnectors may become a significant source for EMF emission, they should be place as far away as possible from the passenger seat areas. If the distance between the battery and passenger seat area is less than 200mm, steel shields should be used to separate the batteries and the seating area.
• The cables connecting battery cells should not form a loop, and where possible, the interconnectors for the positive polarity should be as close as possible to those of the negative polarity.

Good objective & well researched guide to understand about EMF and hybrid effects on health.

As an engineer before, i can say that there are adequate safeguards and tests done, especially these cars are imported into developed and well regulated countries like Britain and USA.

Also dont forget they need many monitoring and tests approved by the various Boards of automotive and safety industries.

So please put your anxiety to rests...and comment objectively with proven guides.

My 2 cents worth..
