Does this meter give off radiation that can hurt a person if aimed at them?

I don't think so, but I'm not sure. It measures radiation from the microwave.

I have no idea if it even works there's a test button on it that works but will it detect radiation i have no idea and i hope i will never have to find out !

Yes, this devive measures Electro-magnetic fields as well as radio frequencies. Your microwave transmitts radio fequency. Your other devices transmit electro magnetic fields . Basically the closer you are to the device in question the higher the readings. So the farther away you are the safer it is. I like the meter and would recomend it for shure. It also has electric field measurement. Up to 3 mili gaus is considered safe.

I recommend the Trifield 100XE EMF Meter for those sort of readings. It's cheaper, accurate, and easy to use. The extech is best if you want to measure radiation from cell towers etc.

In my opinion, the most important thing to keep in mind with this device is "phase". It "detects" better at specific angles to the EM source. So, just proximity to an energy source will not always create a reading because of the phase +/- of the source. Don't use sudden movements but rather steady, deliberate ones. Be aware of your temperature changes when the EMF reading changes, i.e. greater than 1-degree temperature changes. Don't miss your EVP opportunities when either reading changes! - Joe from O.R.C.S.

I'm not an expert, but I believe this could detect certain kinds of radiation in food, but not others. So there's no guarantee that the food is safe just because this didn't detect anything. I think food has to be sent to a lab for the more proper testing. Still, I went ahead and tested a lot of food and didn't find any problems.

I emailed the company that makes this product. The customer service guy was very helpful. His response to that question was that there is no radiation threat since the chest area has more tissue, bone, and cartillage, and the brain is not getting the radiation; he said doctors had said that. He did not say anything about that little heart shaped piece being shielded. Being a female, I would prefer not to wear something so close to my chest. Perhaps, throw the whole thing over my back???

The detector will show you the cumulative dose and you will be able to see how much radiation was absorbed during the specific time period. In order to measure the dose a radiation dosimeter has to be present. However, if an object absorbed a significant amount of radiation and became "radioactive", meaning the radiation is coming from the object, the SOEKS detector will be able to pick it up simply by getting the detector close enough to the object you'd like to measure. The other option is to measure a radiation background away and near the object, subtract two numbers - the difference is how much radiation the object emits.

no, this EMF sensor is not designed for that purpose, it will show only the magnetic field around a cell phone, but cell phone radiation can not be displayedregards

Yes-it must be in contact to work as intended.The arc represents the discharge as it goes off. You can see and hear it even if it is not in contact. That may scare someone off-but I'd wait and just let em have the full effect without warning.

The levels of energy are so high that it would, as it is designed to do, burn out most of the equipment. To measure it in a lab, you measure the inputs, the efficiencies and calculate or use attenuation systems indirectly or reflected and diminished signal paths, etc. You would have to know from which direction the energy is coming in, what spectral composition it is, the beam width. But a simple isotropic measuring meter? Nope.

Interesting Question - that's why I bought the one I have. I was very surprised at the results. I have stood under high tension transmission lines and utility poles with a transformer and they are high enough to pose little problem. Some of the highest reading I encountered was the motor on my high efficiency water heater motor, computer scanner and printer power supplies, a bedroom alarm clock - but you virtually have to be hugging them - if you are a foot or two away, the levels are not dangerous. I believe getting a good unit is worthwhile, just to prove what is safe to yourself. I haven't encountered anything dangerous in my normal surroundings and activities and feel safe. Not to say there is nothing out there - need to avoid MRI, etc. Measure at a source and then a foot or so away. Good Luck - I encourage you to get one - you'll feel better knowing. Ron

Yes, it measures EMF from anything. If I set the meter to EMF and then put it down next to my cell phone (an Android), I see the meter increase as the meter gets closer to the phone. I also see the meter spike off the chart from time to time as the phone emits bursts of power for this and that. That's true for most anything that uses electricity, including other screen-based devices (monitors, etc.). The contradicting answers that you are seeing are probably because there are different types of waves to measure and different phones have different emissions; this device measures micro/radio waves and EMF. This device did measure micro/radio waves for my phone when I tried it, but I don't know if it's measuring the full emissions of the phone because the level registered when I did a test was very small (I put the meter down next to my phone and dialed another phone and stayed connected for a while). However, I haven't seen any consensus among scientific studies that those types of cell emissions are dangerous, whereas-though there is still some debate-some studies agree that high levels of EMF (around or above 4 milligauss/.4 microteslas) increase the risk of certain childhood cancers.

No, it does not. However, it is an excellent device. I noticed that my physical therapists use the same meter in their physical therapy practice.

no the meter only detects electro magnetic fluctuating fields. the human body produces .5 megahertz of natural emf this meter is very safe I recommend it highly

Yes, to the 2nd part only. It responds to a firearm's hammer, which then triggers a split second laser beam you won't really see UNLESS it's on target - that target being a laser-sensitive one, which then reveals a hit wherever. I do not know of other such targets than the one/s you mention (I think the company makes several varieties for different responses to its laser firearms inserts). Hope this answers the question?
