Elektor June 2005 on mobile phone radiation

homelab · 2005-05-17T14:03:30+00:00

I just got my second subscription copy of Elektor Electronics magazinein the mail and I must say I'm impressed with their lively approach tothe mobile phone radiation debate. I would expect their newsstanddistribution to start soon, May 05 issue says 21 May next.Besides a general article on the perils and blessings of SHF radiationfrom various angles, political and international, I found the SHFElectrosmog Detector project a surprisingly simple design. It's basedon a wideband log detector IC and a PCB stripline antenna. The outputis calibrated in volts/m with a LED readout. I am certainly going toorder one as the article says Elektor also supply the detector readybuilt (can't seem to find price and availability though in the mag).Elektor in full colour and with their house style PCBs certainly makestheir competitor EPE look drab and amateurish, EW high brow andotherwise "lost".TARich

"Facts" without theory are often soo much much Garbage ... people like to stop with the "facts" part because it saves them from thinking; specifically to determine the relevance of all the alledged facts!

If you are soo worried about 200 Hz pulses in an electric train should you not rather worry more about the combined "radiation" from the hundreds-of-kW Motor Drives running at Audio Frequency - which is sitting about one meter below your balls - and the looong antenna right over your head?

PS:

The converters in trains happen to use the Industrial EMI standards: Filter if the it disturbs the neighbours TeeVee and Radio - the filter goes on the disturbed bit ... .

Funny thing about US, they've got Polish sousage yet my Polish friend teld me its nowhere near the Polish original. Something else entirely.

Probably the same thing with Bratwurst?

When I was a kid, we had a garden, and Mom made her own dill pickles. We grew our own dill, even. The recipe, as I remember, wasn't all that complicated, and they came out pretty tasty. :-)

I've tried bratwurst, and to me it tastes about as interesting as papier mache. :-/

Cheers! Rich

Hello SioL,

Ask your friend to try some "OGorky z Koprem" (dill pickles) from Costco. Now these are really tasting genuine. I used to live in an area in Germany that had a lot of Polish immigrants and they took great pride in making their own dill pickles. They would not disclose the recipes, of course. At least not outside the family.

Actually it tasted almost better than some German ones...

Regards, Joerg

Hello SioL,

Even Lindt chocolate tastes too sweat in the US, they must adapt it to the local taste or whatever they presume that is. It is only good when bought in Europe.

But beer? Not anymore. We have tons of excellent micro breweries all around us.

If you place one on your front door that would probably be a good deterrant to burglars. But I guess there'd be some other people showing up pretty soon.

Regards, Joerg

Good, things are improving! I just thought perhaps the general average taste is a bit different in US than in other parts of the world. One dissapointing thing was chocolate, though, I've got a feeling these are really better here in the old world. And beer, of course.

Regarding the article in Elektor from the subject, nobody mentioned the cool "Radiation" stickers. Perhaps the only cool thing about this article.
