    It's all non-ionising radiation. From what I understand, no matter how many milliwatts are blasted it has absolutely no effect on us or any life form for that matter.

    • @ultranerdprime7468
      @ultranerdprime7468 7 років тому +169

      Well, at high enough (think kilowatts per square meter, not milliwatts) intensities, you will cook. Which is harmful. But yeah, even up to single digit watts, thousands of times higher than what's emitted by standard routers, there's no effect.

    • @woopygoman
      @woopygoman 7 років тому +66

      Ultranerd Prime Hmm you're right microwaves are non-ionising but above 500 watts (which is 500,000 milliwatts!), you start to get into mini kitchen microwave appliance territory. But yeah waaaay more power than what's output by lte, wi-fi, radio, etc...

      I would like to present the other side of the equation so that it can at least be represented by someone who knows quite a bit about it (me).
      Microwave radiation in particular (cell phones, wifi, baby monitors, smart meters, blue-tooth, etc) disrupts Melatonin production in the brain as well as other important biochemical processes.
      Here's just one study done on rats using only 2 hours a day of exposure.
      www.researchgate.net/publication/51847180_Pathophysiology_of_Microwave_Radiation_Effect_on_Rat_Brain
      If we stop and take a look at the world today compared to 20 years ago, there is an INSANE amount of RF in our everyday environment. These frequencies are not natural and the human body is not accustomed to them. The signals are very chaotic in nature and they disrupt processes in the body.
      Today, a hefty percentage of people are having regular sleep problems. It's difficult to illustrate everything that I would like to say in a simple youtube comment, but I hope that this will at least spark the interest of some people reading through the comments about this subject.
      I feel that all-too-often, studies into EMF are the subject of heavy ridicule and scoffing. And if people weren't having actual real world problems that have increased so much in the last 20 years, I might be inclined to agree.
      I'm not saying that EMF is the cause of everything. But I do think EMF plays a substantial role in several of our modern day problems and that it's something we can choose to take responsibility for just like anything else.

      Just because the radiation is non ionizing does't mean it's not harmful. That being said we would likely only see real damage at high power levels, comparable to what you'd find in your microwave.
      +Philo Jewett
      Interesting study, but the problems with sleep cycles today may not be solely because of the increased number of devices with short or long range transmitters. If we can't control for all the possible variables then we can't know for sure. There's a place in West Virginia known as the "Radio Quiet Zone" because of an ultra sensitive radio telescope, however, the close you get to the telescope, the limitations are much more strict, some to the point where you are forced to forgo computers, cell phones, and even microwaves. But once again, this case cannot be applied everywhere because there are so many variables.

    To all you people whining about Linus "ripping off" iDubbbz, he's not. The fact that iDubbbz has a Kickstarter series as well doesn't mean anything. For all we know Linus might've never even heard of the whole guy.
    There are no truly original ideas on UA-cam and I doubt there ever will be. Even if someone came up with an idea they had never heard of and that was original to them, chances are someone already came up with a similar idea before that and did it already. In fact, I'm willing to bet iDubbbz wasn't the first one to make videos of Kickstarter fails either.

  • @Falcrist
    @Falcrist 7 років тому +39

    RF radiation IS harmless unless it cooks you.
    The reason for this is actually simpler than you might think. * Puts on tweed jacket and professor spectacles *
    First, here's a 1 paragraph refresher on electrons: some of you should know that electrons are negatively charged particles that "orbit" around the nucleus of an atoms (which are made of neutrons and positively charged protons). The electrons can be in different orbits, some farther away from the nucleus and some closer. It takes energy to push an electron to a higher orbital, and you get energy back when an electron falls to a lower orbital. *What kind of energy, you ask? Photons of light!* Electrons jump to a higher orbital when they absorb a photon, and release a photon when they fall to a lower orbital.
    *Now that that's out of the way:* Einstein may be famous for his discovery of special and general relativity, but he won the Nobel Prize for his work on the "photoelectric effect". Basically, if you shine light of high enough energy (higher frequency = higher energy) onto a target, that target will develop a positive charge. What's happening is electrons aren't just being pushed to a higher orbital, they're being popped completely off of the atom. This leaves an imbalance between the protons and the remaining electrons... charge!
    Normally, this doesn't matter much, because charge tends to neutralize itself rather quickly. The free electron will loop around and return to where it was after a short time, or else others will take it's place, and the charge will neutralize via current flow... but that's beside the point. Lets ask another question: what would happen if we did this to a molecule of DNA?
    Well, ionizing an atom in a DNA molecule can create what's called a radical: a highly reactive particle that wants to bond with something RIGHT NOW. This can easily break the bonds one atom has and make it form other bonds. That, in turn, can corrupt the information stored in the DNA molecule.
    » Such data corruption is usually repaired by the cell, but sometimes it isn't...
    » Usually, the corrupt DNA will cause the cell to die or fail to reproduce, but sometimes it doesn't...
    » Usually, when a cell with corrupt DNA reproduces, the mutation is benign, and has no effect beyond making those cells less useful, but sometimes it isn't...
    » Usually, harmful cells are taken out by the immune system, but sometimes they aren't...
    When a cell has DNA that has been corrupted by incident radiation, AND it reproduces, AND its children are viable, AND they're harmful, AND the immune system doesn't react to it... then depending on the type of mutation caused by the DNA corruption it might become a cancer. Maybe. Sometimes.
    That's why people are afraid of radiation, but why *shouldn't* you be afraid of electromagnetic radiation in the RF area of the spectrum.
    Well, electromagnetic radiation starts ionizing DNA when it's frequency gets up to the UV region of the spectrum (just past light). Below that, all it can do is knock an electron into a higher orbital. That means lower frequencies of light can only cause molecules to heat up a bit.
    RF stands for Radio Frequency, and is much MUCH lower energy than even visible light. It isn't ionizing. You really shouldn't be afraid of it.
    If you want to know more, look up the "ionizing radiation" or "the photoelectric effect".

    • @Falcrist
      @Falcrist 7 років тому +9

      Mantaray
      All antennas are pre-tuned. There's a whole field of electrical engineering dedicated to the science of antennas.
      It makes no difference. Electromagnetic waves are just electromagnetic waves. You can have more of them or less, and they can be higher or lower frequency... but that's about it.
      In order for something as low frequency as wifi to hurt you, it would have to burn you. In order for it to burn you, it would have to be several orders of magnitude more powerful than it is.
      A wifi router puts out a total power of like... half a watt? More importantly, it puts that power out in all directions, so the amount that actually hits you is much MUCH smaller, even when you're standing next to it. The signal that gets to you also drops off with the SQUARE of the distance (because it's spreading out).
      So if you have a wifi router in your house, and you're a couple rooms away, something like a microwatt is traveling in your direction. Of that, you won't absorb much, since you're mostly transparent to it. So you're getting something like a nanowatt of power from the router... spread over your whole body.
      Even if the radiation were ionizing, I'm not sure I'd care. Since it isn't even ionizing, the idea that it might have some measurable effect on human physiology is laughable.

    • @chatsash36
      @chatsash36 7 років тому +1

      katt2002 dont think you'll ever get a scientist to say its completely safe to do anything, but the answer above does hold. Radars and communication dishes both deal with RF fields so they wont be ionizing anything in our bodies. Crank up the power enough, and you might feel a bit warm. That'll be at high currents/voltages though so at that point your problem isnt the radiation but electrocution. Thats enough reason to keep some distance from active power stations too.

    • @katt2002
      @katt2002 7 років тому

    I think you guys missed the point of the product. I'm a loss prevention officer at a major retail store. This is a theft device. Thieves put a product that would set off the EAS towers in this, and they wont get any second looks. I'm sure more than half of the backers of this product are shoplifters.

      Just because an object can be "used" as an aid to theft does not mean that is what it is for... example... the aluminum wallets that are meant to block RFID readers from grabbing your credit card information could also be used to hide SD and MicroSD cards and other small items... I can provide dozens of similar anecdotes where thieves have "borrowed" a completely different technology for their own uses... Kudos for recognizing the potential, but it does not go far enough to recover from your blatant asshattery in accusing most backers to be shoplifters.... Would you like it if I stated that more than half of "Loss Prevention Officers" are incompetent, bumbling fools as evidenced by the hundreds of thousands of dollars in "losses" reported annually by those same major retail stores? I can back up my statement with evidence... perhaps rather loosely interpreted but no less valid... and yet *less* slanderous than your own statement. Oh yes... and thank you ever so much for informing a whole new crop of petty shoplifters about the possibility this affords... they likely would never have known until you ran off at the mouth... way to go genius....

      But from other studies(on well practicaly same thing) made by students, we know that it aplified signal inside 1000x times. Becouse it work preety much like radar dish. Signal insted of going pass head, bounces maaaany times inside hat. Such thing to work would need to cover whole body... then You can as good live in faraday cage end don't have eny electronic devices... well enything, becouse everything is to some degree radioactive... emm ideal vacum also is radioactive it's physic phenomen.

    • @TheEconomyChart
      @TheEconomyChart 7 років тому

      It would not have improved the results of the experiment should the hat had been put over the meter, seeing as the hat is supposed to be impermeable to radio waves to begin with. This, and the fact that the hat does NOT eliminate/absorb any sort of radiation (otherwise the hat would get mind-meltingly hot under normal city circumstances), it is simply intended to reflect radio waves away from the user/hat.
      Furthermore, should he have put the hat over the meter, the results would have been consistently worse anyway, since the waves would be able to get inside of the hat and bounce around (as linus pointed out).

    Sorry to break it to you Linus, but when you switched from 'coarse' to 'fine' you switched units from milliwatts per square meter to microwatts per square meter, which by definition is a 1,000x increase in the number given. 0.1 - 0.2 milliwatts per square meter is the exact same thing as 100 - 200 microwatts per square meter. So yes, if they're claiming to reduce it to 0.2 microwatts per square meter, you're right that that's bunk, but if they didn't switch reading modes like you did and just misinterpreted the units, then they meant to say 0.2 milliwatts per square meter and they were right. I applaud your scientific approach to testing this though.

    • @nkfyen
      @nkfyen 7 років тому +5

      At 4:36, Linus says "2 uW/m2", when the meter actually read 10-20 uW/m2 (since the meter showed 0.01-0.02 mW/m2). Linus should correct that he misspoke about that reading. This shows that the difference between the coarse and fine readings are 20 to 100, not 2 to 100, contrary to what Linus stated. (Differences between reading scales usually don't exceed an order of magnitude on professional measurement equipment.)
      But this does show that you can't get 2 uW/m2 without full "double beanie" coverage. So if Shield is claiming 2 uW/m2, that's definitely wrong on both the coarse and fine scales.

    • @edwardpaulsen1074
      @edwardpaulsen1074 6 років тому

      I applaud that he at least tried to use a scientific approach... but I give no kudos because he did it ass backwards... he was shielding the "source" of the radiation... following the inverse square law of radiation propagation, he was effectively masking off the much higher power levels being radiated at the antenna... is the hat meant to be placed on all the nearby antenna? No... it is mean to be placed on your head... a properly "scientific" experiment would have been to place the hat on the *receiving* antenna and measuring from there... as he pointed out later, he could have also used the same method to have the router inline with the rounded top, the side, and the "opening" to check for differences in each type.... I would also venture to say that one would not be looking at a "single source" of signal, but to deflect the hundreds of signals likely in those "high radiation" zones... where there is an exponential and cumulative increase of electromagnetic radiation... Linus's testing essentially eliminated the primary issue the hat/ beanie is meant to address.... but I suppose that may have been "lost in the shuffle" of trying to prove the Kickfarter" status...

    Kickfarted is just an amazing series. Ep. 1 was HILARIOUS! and this one (Ep. 2) was also really funny.
    I can't wait for more kickstarter and other crowdfunding idiotic tech. Please! keep making this series on a regular basis! :(

    I cant believe you ripped off idubbbbztv's episode of kickstarter crap he already did on this product.

      So? If Idubbz does something, no one else can? I guess you should stop breathing and drinking water.

      no, you fucking shit. there's dozens of new kickstarters every day and linus had to pick the one that was already done by someone else for ez pz content stealing.

      ronniedude so by that logic, news channels are copying every other news channel which cover the same story at a different time? If they don't do something obvious like copying verbatim or stealing pictures, you have no evidence to say he copied someone else. Which Linus rightfully didn't.

    a Titanium Helmet would be amazing, as long as it still had padding on the inside as well as a softer material as a second layer on the outside.
    then you'd your nigh indestructibility paired with some stuff to absorb the impact forces.

    Okay, so I saw this awhile ago, but I came back just to say that it took me like, 2 full days to catch on the to low-key sarcasm going on here. I was watching this and was like, "it's all BS anyhow" until today when I was watching another video and it clicked how goddamn subtle this whole video is.
    10 points for the wit I didn't know you guys had.
