Do you recommend this device to measure the effectiveness of some materials that claim to absorb radiation coming out of cell phones &amp; wifi routers?

This is a quick way to measure the release of radio waves. I put it by my phone and was amazed how much was being released when my phone was syncing. Now I use a speaker and keep my phone away from me. It is a great investment. If they claim to block the frequency this will tell you how much by testing before and after. I tested lights, digital clocks, my phone, and the meter outside. Now I try and reduce my exposure by staying away from these items or not having anything close to my body. Worth the price.

Hello, Brent V. With cellphones or wifi the potentially harmful radiation is radiofrequency (mostly in the vicinity of "microwave oven" radiation, around 2.4 Ghz) because these frequencies are particularly prone to do eventual damage to us. If I correctly recall, there are devices for measuring "rogue microwaves" but they are mostly to detect badly sealed microwave ovens.

Yes it can, but I suspect the small Gauss Meter (Ghost Detector) cannot register the actual strength of the E/M waves.The ghost detector is sensitive to very light magnetic anomolies and is no substitute for industrial meters.If you only want to know if you microwave is leaking I don't think it will work because the extreme power within themicrowave would cancel it out. Good Luck anyway

New technology is coming out from some sets where they do not emmit all the time. Unfortunately I do not know what to look for. These units, in many cases put out more microwave RF than cellphones. I just read up on this today.

Well, you will be able to test what ever area you are concerned about. I found this to be a pretty good device. I have not over watered and plants are doing great. the length of probe lets you get a good idea on wear the moister is..

It should be good for both power lines & cell towers. I don't know anything about the Trifield 100. If you are ignorant of all this, best to find someone on the internet who can help you learn how to read this meter, which can be tricky, as there are several scales of measurement and you need to know what is too much radiation on each of these scales.

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.

To be honest I believe it only effects wifi slightly. I havent measured the actual signal loss but ive never lost I signal with the silicone case. I believe I loose about 1/8 or my signal at the most and its not really noticeable so you should be fine! Hope this response helped:)

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.

This does not distinguish parts of the solar spectrum (infrared, visible, uva, uvb, etc) so probably not. I use it to check the overall solar irradiation level as measured in Watts per Meter^2 (which is generally from 0 W/m2 to 1300 W/mw on ground level).

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure you need a different type of radiation detector. Look into an electromagnetic radiation detector.

yes it would work for that, but youd want to be able to access the individual conductors to get a clear tone from the probe, if the wires are all inside insulation it will give you a reading but it might take a few goes to be 100% sure.

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.

It measures electrical leakage from electrical devices. This shows bad connections or poorly designed products.

I only used this item for a longer range for weak wifi signal while I was out of the US. Not really sure if it allows passive scanning/monitoring.

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