It turns out that it just filters out emf in the home, it doesn’t totally eliminate it. Thanks for all your help you guys.

Reply from ben_j_richard /post/184775-calling-all-scientists#reply-4076564 hi im a particical physicist and work as a reasurcher so i can probably help you with any questions you might have. Just got back from holiday.
Toadstone has done a good job answering this one so far so im not sure my imput would give you any more insight.

The device to which you are refering is probably some sort of fariday cage a very common and well known device that can limit the proporgation of electromagnetic feilds. Such a device has been known about for years so it is probably the alplication of it that is the new product of your company. Basically with stray EM feilds running everywhere from electrical devices there is an increase in power outage by inductance. Put basically and electricity moving through a wire makes a feild and and wire can then be used to draw power from that feild, so you get energy waisted.

Need any more help or description let me know :)

Reply from Sir Cody † /post/184775-calling-all-scientists#reply-4047165 Well toadstone you it sounds that you know what you are talking about. As I stated in this post my company (ecoquestinternational) has developed a machine that reduces energy usage in the home. Supposedly it somehow cancels out emf. I was wondering what the implications would be if this were true.

Reply from toadstone /post/184775-calling-all-scientists#reply-4045619 Oh also, neither EMF nor EMP are made of matter. They have no mass, they are purely energy.

Of course, there is the dual nature of light (particle vs wave) so your EMP might have photons. But photons have zero mass. They have only relativistic mass.

So, you could say your EMP has an “equivalent” mass, based on relativity. Use e=mc^2 to find the equivalent mass. But that would require an energy-to-mass conversion. Dont try that at home.

Reply from toadstone /post/184775-calling-all-scientists#reply-4045589 EMF is usually an “electromotive force”. Its synonymous with “voltage”. It usually exists in a conductive path, like wire.

If you abbreviate “electromagnetic field” as EMF, thats OK but its a less common usage. Lets agree on that usage for this discussion.

“Electromagnetic field” is a more general term. EMP is just an EMF that lasts for a very brief time. The idea is that if you compress an EMF in the time domain, the pulse carries a greater amount of energy in a shorter time. It can therefore induce momentary high peak currents in any conductor is propagates over. Unintentional high peak currents can cause damage.

We live with EMP’s all the time. Every time I flip a light switch, or crank my car’s starter motor, or lots of other things. The question is, how much ENERGY is in that EMP as it departs. When it arrives at my neighbor’s house, its significantly diminished.

The largest EMP’s are generated with nuclear warheads. Those can travel 100s of miles and fry electronics along the way. For you to make an EMP in your garage with enough energy to do damage, thats not easy. I’ve done it.

If set off in a particular area any electronics in its range would be rendered inoperable and impossible to fix. If used anywhere it would cause catastrophic damage. As of right now there is no known way to stop an emp once it has started.
