It's ionizing radiation that we have to worry about. Microwave cell phones etc emit non ionizing radiation. Non ionizing radiation does non strip electrons from DNA only ionizing radiation. Enjoy life people
As discussed, the jury is still out on health impacts of non-ionizing radiation. There are documented cases of individuals being especially sensitive to EMFs - which is a different consideration to long term health effects in the population, which are still debated. The precautionary principle suggests avoiding or minimizing exposure.
Energy emitted from a source is generally referred to as radiation. Examples include heat or light from the sun, microwaves from an oven, X rays from an X-ray tube and gamma rays from radioactive elements. ...THE SUN
@@ralphpetry1745 there is a HUGE difference between a magnetic field generated in the wheel motors, radio frequencies (RF Radiation), and nuclear decay (Alpha/Beta/gamma Ray) radiation.
@@moki123gfalloff distance is handled in the magnitude scale of the measurement device. But I agree with you regarding the types of radiation. That said, are you suggesting this demonstration is invalid? Would you sleep with your head against the NFC transmitter?
The place where the keycard goes has to emit some radiation, since it has to power up the “passive” circuit in your key card. It’s super short range and is focussed on sending power outward to where you would be holding the card.
All electrical and electronic products MUST go through official emissions testing to get approved for sale. In the UK and the rest of Europe this is part of getting CE mark.
Yes, they are really wasting their time and the taxpayers money. It is mainly to avoid interference between devices not for radiation safety for humans.
Why is that a waste? One bad device can wreak havoc - see the story of a delivery driver who didn’t like being tracked, and the effect that had when parked at the airport. If all devices had to be designed to work essentially in a solar storm, they would be a lot more expensive for everyone!
Most men(myself included) put their phone in the pocket closet to their groin for 8-15 hours a day. I feel my Tesla is the least of my worries for lower testosterone concerns. Also being called a beta by someone driving a dodge hornet or a Honda civic will never not be funny.
The only time your phone is putting out much continuous microwave power is if you are talking on it while almost out of range or doing some serious data uploading. I generally have the phone in my hand doing either of those things because I get better reception (and it looks less like I am talking to myself.)
It's good to show things like this, but (Listed by priority) Tobacco smoke, Air pollution, Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, Asbestos, and Radon are the most dangerous cancer-causing factors in our lives. Cancers caused by other forms of radiation as you're detecting is still being evaluated and at best, are extremely far down the list. In some estimates, things like microwaves would not have adverse affects us unless we used them everyday for about 500 years. Maybe.
Wow I have the same microwave as you! I worked in wireless communications for many years and part of my PPE was a power meter while working around large cellular antennas. I was always amazed how little EMF was emitted from the phone, but next to the microwave... was an eye opener for sure. I always got a kick about people saying the cell phone was making them sick, while standing next to a running microwave LOL. It's really all about radio frequency, power levels and time exposed. As far as I understand if you get too close to a strong EMF the tissues exposed can heat up (like your microwave heats your food) some people also feel affects of heat stroke and sometimes a metallic taste in the mouth. Don't know anything about long term affects. Another thing is when you say "Radiation" in this context you are really meaning "EMF- radiation" not to be confused with radiation that we all associate with nuclear which can be way more hazardous.
Next time try this test with a geiger counter, operated by someone who knows what the results are showing them. I'm sure it would be much more illuminating than this video.
So basically besides where you have a TX/RX for NFC/Bluetooth, as well as power flow from charging and "screens", the only other places would be where Tesla routes cables. Since Tesla goes for shortest runs to save money and weight, your results basically tell us that Tesla has efficient design that are rather reasonably low EMF radiation.
Wireless headphones and earbuds are a product type that surprised me with the lack of popular concern about an electromagnetic radio transmission source (admittedly low power and non-ionizing) in close proximity to the skull and brain for extended periods of time on a daily basis. I imagine that impact studies will take decades to yield conclusive results, similar to tobacco smoking. The tech industries pushing these products have at least as much funding, power (literally and figuratively), and influence as the tobacco industry did way back when Bogart was lighting up on the big screen.
How about testing old TVs with a tube and wireless chargers for new devices, toothbrushes included? The first quartz watches in the 1970's got confused when you grabbed into the engine bay of a car with a combustion engine and you had high-power ignition coils or the 1st electronic (transistor) ignition. I'd play safe and keep someone with a cardiac pacemaker 1 m or about 3 to 4 ft away from an electronic ignition with long ignition cables. Even energy-saving bulbs and wireless devices can interfere with each other.
Kim, your wireless microphone was the emitter. Not sure what microphone was used in cybertruck, or where your microphone was, but I think that was the main reason in X you had higher readings on the driver side. The keycard reader has to emit energy to activate the passive NFC.
ELECTICAL RADIATION, not nuclear radiation, a lot of people don't know the diff and think their microwave is a nuclear reactor, true story. Also people always say electromagnetic, I think it's really the electrical field they're talking about, maybe that doesn't sound as cool
As an electrical engineer there are many more sources of emf all around us than what cars and EVs give us. Even the cells don't affect us much. For any of these things to affect us you have to be in the red for days. Just a few inches to a foot away is just fine. So in my view it's a non issue.
0:11 “Sperm quality” I want to see you and PJ talk about that possible problem! PJ is doing just fine in that area according to him. He’s got three kids after all!
Kim, great vid. Please do a vid charging the EV to 100%, then run it all the way down to zero miles, then back to 100%. Do this 2 full cycles. I noticed an almost 5% improvement in the battery life of my 2022 MYP. I learned years ago to do this to the iPhone to get more battery life and it works there too. Thanks
The ICE car EMF comparison was great. Thanks for checking them both. Also how about ICE car exhaust emissions which cause lung cancer? Only with a comparison including all carcinogens can we evaluate the relative risk.
Good vid, it was good to see that radiation levels are minimal. I have had customers express concern about radiation levels in electric vehicles. I have actually had several customers say until there are more studies on the effects they aren’t willing to risk buying an electric vehicle. You all do a nice job and I always look forward to your vids. When can we get a new update on your Uber driver friend? Just wondering how he is doing.
That one video where the lady got rid of her tesla because she was getting sick. apparently it was a result of mold lol but the video made it seem like it was emf
@@scottbreseke716 I mean I'm not knocking Tesla or saying they are at fault. I'm just pointing out that that weird story. I'm terms of that service that's interesting and I'm very interested to find out how rare if rate this "issue" really is
@@Therealphantomzero Part of it depends on how often you use the air conditioner, part of depends on the humidity of the area. I've known people who are allergic to everything.
Thx guys, GREAT (and hilarious at times😂) video. As a former airline pilot, I think my profession has greater exposure than most, especially over multiple decades, so it's probably a good idea for certain professions to reduce sources of radiation where possible. Thx!
It has been about 30 years since I went through electronic principles so I may be a bit rusty but I think what they are seeing are a variety of radio signals and the magnetic fields generated from having an electric current traveling through wires (for example, when they started charging the cars). Everything with an electric current generates a magnetic field. The field moves in a direction around the wire. If I recall correctly, it would be called inductance. Wireless charging would be the product of inductive reactance where the wires are coiled and, through magnetic fields, create a current on a coil of wires on the device being charged. The field can be bigger with more current, but stuff like shielding can dilute that. Basically, this video doesn't prove anything except that there are a lot of areas where people don't know enough about a topic to give a truly informed opinion. I think their hearts are in the right place if it is trying to keep people safe, but it is a disservice to put this information out there without having somebody that is more well versed provide some input on what you might be seeing.
Thank you for making this episode of em radiation video, while previously I've had some challenging responses from folks I recommended EVs with regarding em radiation from the battery packs ❤
@ItsKimJava yeah great, so that when folks responded negatively regarding em radiation of EVs while I'm recommending EV, then I'll explain to them and they'd still not believe, I'd just refer them to this video of yours about em radiation on EVs 😊
On the model 3 the passenger side rear seat is a hot spot for radiation when the DC to DC converter is on because it is located directly under the seat! DC-DC converter is capable of producing 193Amps at 14V when charging the battery. The radiation will be lower when it's not charging the battery.
Deveriam testar todo chão do País, pois aqui na Unidade Federal do Pará, país Brasil assisti uma reportagem em que morriam cidadãos de uma determinada Cidade na qual morriam de cãncer por haver ou ter uma jazida de Urãneo sob a Cidadezinha, logo as autoridades deve ter evacuado a cidadela!!! Gostei dessa utilidade pública que prestaste e o aparelho com o link para aquisição. Parabéns casal atento e amantes da informação... continuem assim nos surpreendendo com boas novas...
Well done guys great idea. FYI - hopefully you realised the only time the radiation was high is when you are near a transmitter. In other words anything that emits radio waves for communication. I was particularly impressed by the output of the key card tx / rx on the outside of the Tesla door - wow. The other place to check was finding out where any cars wifi antenna is - they dont tell you that one...its also why you shouldnt have a laptop - on your lap (ironically) near your groin - yep the danger is the wifi ! NB key point overall is - its not the fact thats its an EV!
Great and important video, you can wonder what the park is about ! I would think Tesla might be able to switch of the left doors car reader when driving to reduce the drivers radiation ? It has done the job and will not be used again until the car is parked and locked.
I wonder if putting the car in “drive” would change the readings on the pillar by the NFC? Maybe when the car is in drive, it won’t send as much power to it the NFC 🤷♂️
Thank you very much for this video. We have exactly the same discussions in Germany, and I am sure they are absolutely unfounded. The allegations have already been refuted here. With kind regards from a Tesla driver from Germany.
You need to learn the difference between electro magnetic radiation which comes from low frequency motor drives, RF radiation from microwaves and pulsed sources like wifi and cellular. The differences in the effects on the body are substantial. I would however, replace your microwave with a better one and move it higher.
That's the 75kW supercharger and those are shared that put out very little juice. Usually 50ish. Would like to see it wide open charging at 250kW on v3 or v4
When I was a kid it was don't sit too close to the television. Your phones, note books and other devices are going to put out more when connected using wifi or blue tooth. You can turn off all the radios if you care to. If you want something to stay away from maybe it is that apple wrist watch?
That's what i was looking for, always wanted to measure my model 3 as im driving a lot from 2020 already 300000km, wonders how im still alive. Without watching video yet i would say so! But, let's see
I had heard that you get more radiation on a flight than an xray. I don't remember What the source was. Now.Ill have to investigate to see if the info on the CDC site was correct. And good on you for.catching that your meter was.picking up.the microphones radiation
lol do you use any blue tooth devices like ear buds ect? Try the emf detection with those. This is kinda silly the earth has a huge magnetic field. Well we know what the new snake oil salesmen are up to.
Physics 1st grade: A magnetic field is induced when you have a conducture where a current is running through. But since when is a magnetic field radiation that harms your cells. It's not alpha, beta or gamma rays! If you are interested in radiation, your need to use a geiger counter and not an EMF sensor. And since the battery is a chemical storage, you will not get any readings as log as you have nothing plugged into it, meaning a current running. No electron flow, no EMF, that simple
