Hi all,
I got worried by some reports that wired headsets increase radiation
rather than decrease it-
by absorbing radiation from the phone and transmitting it over the
wires to the ear canals (which are not protected by the skull of
course).
I went and found this product which claims to address the problem-
http://www.goaegis.com/headsets_radiation.html
http://www.goaegis.com/headset_shield_imgs.html
Its a sort of radiation shield to clamp over the wire. I am wondering,
I see very similar devices on the ends of ADSL modem cables and laptop
power cables. (except they are round, not square). Are they also
designed to reduce emissions and so can used on my headset, or are
they for other purposes? I opened one and it just has two magnets
inside.
Thanks

Magnets? Magnets prevent radiation?
I believe the primary purpose of the device you bought was to separate you
from some of your money.

I can see it making a nice "gift set" on eBay when paired with one of those
equally worthless "antenna booster" stickers...

Put your mind at ease. I'm 62 in January. I've been around
transmitters all my life thousands of times more powerful than
your little toy phone, radiating your environment with thousands
of times more EMF than the combined output of all the SELLphones
in your city. You are in far more danger from broadcast
radiation of AM, FM and TV that you've lived in all your life,
than anything any SELLphone has ever radiated, especially now it
radiation is just tiny pulses of on with big deadtimes in
between.
Every time a satellite or airplane passes over you, massive
amounts of microwave energy pass through you, especially from
aircraft radar and radar-based altimeters. Radar satellites are
blasting you with microwaves looking underground to see if you're
standing on pools of oil or other resources to exploit. Paging
transmitters running kilowatts, UHF TV transmitters running
MEGAwatts, all pumping the air full of CONSTANT radiation, not
pulsed at all.
I'm still here, don't glow in the dark very brightly, can foster
beautiful children if the right cooperative female is willing and
have no tumors sticking out of me, anywhere, really! I've worked
in RF fields so intense the flourescent lights in the building
lit up whether the switch was on or off. Sparks bit you when you
touched grounded objects because my body was RF charged.
My best case was my friend Linwood. He died of OLD AGE at 94!
He was in broadcasting, aviation communications, 2-way FM radio
and a ham radio operator all his life. He didn't glow in the
dark either, but did limp a bit after he turned 85. Like me,
sometimes he burned his fingers when the RF reached out and bit
him...(c;
The radiation scares are based in the SELLphone business, itself.
We used to have 3 watt FM SELLphones called AMPS. There were
only 832 channels, one transmitter to a channel, limiting the
revenues that could be produced per square mile of cell. So, new
digital technologies were invented to increase revenue per square
mile in highly populated areas. Transmitter powers had to come
down to reduce the range of your SELLphone to minimal, preventing
you from making too much noise on other cells we could sell to
other users. Power dropped to 600mw in those old brick handsets.
People raised holy hell because their range dropped! Amazingly,
about that time, a campaign to scare the hell out of the
SELLphone public that their bagphones were frying their kids'
brains was propagated. The stupid public couldn't WAIT to get
rid of their powerful phones that gave them RANGE, for a new
phone that was "safer" at 600mw, then 300mw, then 200mw, now 100-
150mw. 1/10th of a watt can't even warm your pinkey finger, no
danger of frying your brains at all! The public, in the interest
of safety of course, bought this line of hooey hook, line and
sinker. The carriers were delighted! Phone antennas, another
sore point that increased a user's range and made too much noise
on other cells, were turned into tiny loops of wire INSIDE the
phone INSIDE the car, making your range about a mile from the
tower. "Can you hear me now?" campaigns to try to quell the
riots of irate SELLphone owners who could no longer make reliable
calls made the media delighted with the ad budgets.
It's all a "false flag operation", just like 9/11 that got us
into these two interminable wars George Orwell warned us
about....and we swallowed it!
Oh, by the way, the BIGGEST RF threat to your health is called
the SUN! Every day this massive thermonuclear, self-sustaining,
event very near to our planet makes so much RF noise on all
frequencies, including visible light, it overcomes many comm
systems' ability to cope with it. If you stand outside naked,
you can FEEL the massive radiation heating your body from it!
There you are, laying on the beach in your Speedo, worrying about
your SELLphone slowly cooking from the massive radiation of the
sun. Dumb, ain't it?

What? Useless??!! I've got 4 on my motorcycle helmet to increase
RF radiation into my helmet to keep me WARM in winter! Now you
tell me they don't work?!
Wait until I find that salesman...POW!

Yes, but they don't affect you because your big tinfoil hat reflects all
those nasty radio waves back away from your head.

Freud wore ladies' underwear? Wow.
The worse thing than making the mistake is not realizing how it would be
read, given the post to which I was replying!

I didn't buy it, I just wondered. I did disassemble one of the devices
on the end of many home computer appliances- laptop cables, DSL cables
etc, and found magnets inside, I wondered perhaps the magnets help
prevent interference and also reduce radiation. At the top right image
it is visible, "ferrite core" is that it? is ferrite just a magnet?
Thanks

Thank you for your thorough explanation, I already know most of that,
but I can't help any of it. I just don't like the idea of more
radiation coming straight inside my ear canals, its spooky. But never
mind my paranoias. what is this device, clipped on the middle of the
cable at the top right picture? I disassembled one of those and found
two magnets inside. Is that what's called a 'ferrite shield'? and what
does it do? is this the same as the one they are trying to flog to me
as a radiation reducer? (They look similar externally)
Thanks
