  • This little gadget measures Electric, Magnetic, and Radio Frequency fields. I was curious to see how it works and what I could use it for. Unfortunately I couldn't find much of a guide to actually using these for anything in real life, most of the info online seems to be from questionable sources.
    The unit itself does seem to respond to electrical fields, static electricity, strong magnets (but not fridge magnets), and various radio devices.

    I check the RFI around my house by just using a portable AM radio. Tune it to static and walk around the house RFI will cause the static to change.
    I was getting a clicking sound when receiving on my 2m radio. Searching the house lead me to my air filter that had a dirty negative ion plate causing my RFI.
    Also: the mesh is to big on the catio to work as a faraday cage for the frequencies you are looking at.

    A company called SOMA sells an "anti-radio" called Ether, it lets you listen to the power grid through a bunch of antennas crammed together. It's meant to be a toy for synthesizer enthusiasts but it is a lot of fun and would be a great pair with a device like this.

    If the magnetic mode isn't detecting much from the cellphone it's probably not sensitive enough or doesn't have a wide enough frequency range. That was what I typically found when testing EMF meters. A smartphone can emit more magnetic fields when you use it, like scrolling pages or opening apps or something. If you don't do anything with it it may be a lot less. But often cheap devices cannot measure all magnetic fields because the frequency range of the device is too narrow. So you may think something doesn't make magnetic fields while it does, and it can be a lot. Some devices are misleading.
    I found many specs of devices to be very inaccurate, false claims.
    They claim this device has a triple axis magnetic mode and that it can measure frequencies up to 100kHz. If that is true that is pretty good, in theory.
    But the only way of knowing it does what it claims is comparing it with other devices, preferably more expensive devices. That is what I found.
    At a first glance seeing your video, I think it lacks sensitivity.

    • @gorak9000
      @gorak9000 Рік тому

      Yes - that mesh on the wire cage is HUGE - that basically lets everything through. You need window screen or better to be effective, AND it has to be well grounded. You can't just throw up random sheets of screen on a wooden frame and expect there to be ANY faraday cage effect. Real faraday cages are built out of very fine copper mesh, and have crazy all copper seals with many contact pads all around the doors. The are INTENSE

    Oh man, you totally need at least the cheapest official Zeeko store TinySA and a NanoVNA for the antenna fab. TinySA might be more like a TSCM device that's cheapo, though can be effective like the higher end SDR's without the laptop.
    Dony's mind controlled? 🙂 As my old neighbor whose dead had noted about my cats, or maybe was a cat the more I think about, being a California cat when it sounded like was trying to talk and not even in heat like the crazy sounding ones. Maybe it was the microwave hearing effect or something? I doubt the CIA cat got hit by a car and that project never moved forward.
    Anyways, I wonder what the frequency range being measure is that's more accurate?
    I think the pulse train and other effects that actually couple with electrophysiological effects, versus like most think diathermy effect or whatever heating RF power being the issue, it is not. Not that diathermy effects aren't an issue as well.

    🐐💬 That is correct but some frequency is reflected by wave property, some radios build AM as FM. It is called AM as FM mode which is for internal building.
    🐑💬 The AM and FM are different but FM station is based, the repeater or power station works as a based station that allowed them to perform FM with encryption but G.E it had both transmissions for nearby station mode.

It there is a gun it will be fired at some point. You parked the EM meter right in front of Chekhov's blender and did not turn it on. 2. Can't you just rename one of the cats Faraday?

    Your catio wasn't *designed* to be a faraday cage --- the mesh is too large, and you probably made no effort to electrically bond all the walls and ground them. So, it likely attenuated the incoming RF somewhat, but not enough to take it below the "Danger! Will Robinson! Danger!" threshold of these things. I think a lot of these EMF meters are off into the "Smoke And Mirrors" end of instrumentation. Measuring the e-Field directly is, as far as I know, impossible. So, you measure voltage potential with a very-high-impedance voltmeter instead--and that's likely what the e-Field measurement section of that device does. For the magnetic field, probably a cheap hall-effect sensor.

    • @saveitforparts
      @saveitforparts  Рік тому

      Right, the catio wasn't designed that way, but it does have two sizes of mesh (metal fence plus aluminum window screen), and is actually grounded (metal spikes to hold it in place, that are touching the fence and screen). The house is also kind of a faraday cage since it's full of rebar and metal mesh inside the stucco, but there's enough gap where the catio sits against the house to let radio waves sneak through.
