I've been worried about your mental health for even buying an EV.

I've just been looking up EMF and found this. Possible symptoms related to EMFs in the studies included: headache tremor dizziness memory loss loss of concentration sleep disturbance I would like to add some more, The urge to sit around waiting for something to happen. The craving for triangle sandwiches with crusts cut off The belief that you are being green The belief EVs are cheap to run, and all electricity is green The belief that EVs are good for the planet.

People who live under high voltage power lines suffer more with cancers, so magnetic fields do affect people.

Thanks for doing this MacMaster. These RT-100s are only £40. If you want to use a GQ EM-390 and its a superb piece of kit. I live somewhere near Geoff and will lend it to him and can give you the manual and practical tips on using it. My radiation guide says levels above 3mG are not recommended for long time stay. Also it will measure RF so you can test your mobile phone and the cell tower near your house.

Research saying things are safe is nearly always funded by the same companies selling

They said asbestos was ok in the 60s but they're not laughing now are they ?

Just an idea…have you thought about hiring an MG/BYD or cheaper EV etc to see how the radiation levels fare? Be interesting to see!

So a DC Motor generates a magnetic field. No surprise there then. Why not place your device on your mobile phone or stand under a pylon.

Well Lee mate I ma now 77 years old and have messed around with electronics since I was around 11, and various situations in which there has been EMR exposure and frankly for me at least I do not think I have had any health issues to date. But that I am assuming doesn't mean that I will not! I have my house here in Australia rigged with devices that are specific to pest control and honestly the results of those devices appear to have reduced the number of pests again for example mice and spiders. So this means that those pests have some reaction to the devices and just cannot be even close to them. Now it also occurs to me that not all people are "made" equal and any reaction may be decided on their genetic makeup??

Proven or unproven, I'm sticking with fossil fuels for as long as possible. We had a housing Estate near us built under power lines, and an abnormaly high number of residents in that area have contracted the big C.

It would be interesting to check a petrol car and a diesel car for radiation when you meet up with Geoff.

Try the meter with your phone when making a call. That'll provide a continuous signal as against the pulsed one from an idle phone. The meter is uncalibrated, sensitvity, frequency range, etc. not stated, no reference signal used - try it around a microwave oven door seals when running - some are actually prone to radiation above prescribed safety levels.

You are confusing magnetic fields with radiation. Radiation is deadly which is why a dentist taking am X ray of a tooth goes out of the room as radiation is cumulative. There are far more fundamental issues with EVs than magnetic fields which have existed in underground trains since they were invented.

It is the manufacturing and mining, and recycling for EVs that we need to be seriously concerned about. That, and being downwind of any kind of battery fire. My question is about ozone production from the drive motor and regenerative braking? I thought that motors and generators had little points of arcing, at the face of carbon brushes? Ozone is greenhouse gas, like CO2, methane, and water-vapor.

Need to do same test on Fission chips too. Coat fetched.

My late wife was in a job where she juggled several mobile phones and a laptop in her late model company car (ICE) and back in the office she had the usual desktop computer as well. Cars and IT devices in general surround us in all sorts of radiation.. no doubt EVs would add to this but it's significance would be debatable. Cancer is much more prevalent today and an EMF component may well be part of a host of contributing factors..🤔

I would never Trust "Google' !

News flash, the car needs to be going to get electromagnetic fields.

There's nothing to worry about, just make sure you've got your lead-lined knickers on.

An induction hob gives off EMF As an ex kitchen salesman anyone with a pacemaker was advised not to buy 1 without checking the model of pacemaker

you are measuring milli gauss and tiny field strengths exactly what i would expect to see from the objects you are measuring and there is NO ionising radiation AT ALL present and you dont have the tool to read it if it were this pointless fear mongering at best!

There was no evidence to suggest that Thalidomide was dangerous either, until children were born with no arms and legs, then they stalled and fought the link for 5 years before they finally admitted there was a problem and removed it from the market. I always have huge suspicion when someone says, there's no proof of this or that in speaking about what they're doing. If there's money to be made, evidence is elusive. 🤷‍♀

Hi Lee I bought one of those meters today and I was shocked. My self and another person share a ford Mustang Mach E and have been feeling unwell every time we are in the car. Feeling tired,Dizziness, feeling hot , muscle pain , Headache and more besides. The dealership don't believe me but they will have to now. The readings are off the scale. I have been having many problems with this car besides the above. The car is only 6 months old with just 4k miles Thanks Lee for finding this gadget this will help my case The reading down the drivers foot well in is 199.8 mg which i understand is not good. I Enjoy your channel so much.

It's well known in the telecom industry..emf. there used to be signs and posters in the exchanges warning of the dangers.

Where did you buy that accurate piece of scientific equipment? Aliexpress? 😂😂😂

Do you really know what you're actually doing? That meter (I use one at work) measures the electric field strength in volts-per-metre from the sensor in the top/front of the device. If you read what it says, it is for measuring AC electric field (so not much from your DC battery!! Just AC charging related fields). The magnetic field measurements are in milli-Gauss, and again detect at the front of the device. (You can change range to micro-Tesla). You use the word 'radiation' in an unnecessarily alarmist way. People worry about radiation from nuclear sources - nowt to do with it. Radiated field just means how the field 'travels'. Sound radiates towards you; light; etc.... Now take the device home and point it at your phone charger, TV, cooker, fuse board, wall sockets.... follow the wires along the walls as you 'will' detect AC. Nice way to waste a few minutes. You're detecting something, you don't know what it is, nor do you know the significance of it all!

Lovely summer weather we are having it’s also pissing down in Newcastle as well!! 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

My mum gave me Ready brek each morning and my readings would explode that device.

Mobile phones to hand held walkie talkies all will emit magnetic radiation or sing at frequencies from KHz, MHz into GHz, how do you think they can work without emitting some form of RF?

As someone who suffers from Electro-Sensitivity, I can confirm that EMF are a very real problem, and that they have extremely unpleasant effects on the human body. I've ridden in a Tesla Model 3 on three occasions, and I had a full bore migraine after each occasion. Coincidence? Not a chance.

Right, my first reaction was for you to take a trip to the countryside and find a very tall pylon, then use your radiation gadget underneath it.

Electro magnetic fields do have an effect on people with pacemakers, so what will they do when they want everyone to have an electric car

I am very interested in your findings. I have a pacemaker fitted and was advised to stay away from high fields as they may reconfigure my pacemaker. I was warned to stay away from mobile phones and loudspeakers. Wonder what the medical profession thinks.

A magnetic field is generated around an electrical conductor when current passes through the conductor. An electrical motor turns due to the interaction of two magnetic fields (similar to using one magnet to push/move another magnet).

What if you have a pacemaker

I watched somewhere, that in Japan they stopped pushing super fast trains as the electromagnetic field in the train was causing serious diseases. They were using magnetic field to raise trains from the rail.

How about a Brint car would that be more safe or same ? I am so glad someone is testing this first time I have seen.

Lee, you should look at how MRI scanners in hospitals work, huge amount of magnetic fields and RF signals.

People dont seem worried about the hours they spend with a mobile phone next to their ear

I'd rather stay with a petrol vehicle electric cars just nothing but waste of money

As if Google is gunna admit the truth about EMF's .

Lee you should read "the invisible rainbow "goes into detail about e m f

We are all in a magnetic field, ask yourself how does a compass work? , batteries are DC so will not affect your aluminium foil hat, biggest EMF is sat in your house with 50Hz AC mains hum buzzing around 24/7, but the most dangerous thing is that big bright thing in the sky aka the Sun which can visibly change your skin pigment in 20 mins exposure and is the biggest cause of burns and melanomas aka skin cancer which can metastasise into other organs before most are aware, but the unwary still lay out in the UV radiation, which is still in the magnetic spectrum🧐 Gaz Yorkshire😎

It effects your nuts.

Anyone fitted with a pacemaker or defribulator?

You should also do it around your house meter box and charger, etc.

If there is no “evidence “ - how can there be a danger zone on the meter 🤷‍♂️

NOT Ionising Radiation but Electromagnetic Radiation. They are generated by ALL things electrical, TV, mains wiring in a house, cooker, fridge, computer, electic wall clock, electic watch, power lines etc etc. NON EV cars, both petrol and diesel will also generate Elecromagnetic Radiation oh yes and the video camera you used to produce this video.

If Google says turn left then turn right….if it says don’t worry then WORRY lol

Electromagnetic fields.

Just dont carry your phone in your pocket next to your unmentionables.

Couple more things - 1) When google tells you there's no evidence that EM fields pose a danger, this means nothing. Absence of evidence is NOT evidence of absence. 2) When 'they' decide what level of EMF is safe, is this related to the amount of time spent in the EM field? While a certain level may be safe for a minute or two, is it still safe if you're in that field for hours, day after day (as happens with some battery car drivers)? There's no way of knowing if such prolonged exposure is safe in the long term, because battery cars haven't been around in the long term. Like you, I feel newsreaders in 2050 will be reporting the cancer/fertility health effects of 2020 battery cars - but, by then, for the gullible who've fallen for this untrialled technology, it'll be too late.

Found this channel. Why is there a year old video about you saying goodbye to EV and going back to ICE and newer videos about your EV? Why do have and EV?

So when it's running the battery is giving off dangerous levels of radiation always good to know. So when your driving your legs are getting microwaved treatment. Yeah I will give EVs a miss

I think the question it, how safe is it for people that have pacemakers or ICD’s, after all if you go to an airport you don’t go through the electronic archway

You look great Lee, lost some weight? No more EV pressures. Just drive your Taycan to Chernobyl and it will be fully charged up for the next 2000 years.

RADIATION LEVELS in your phone are proven to be dangerous to us, ask a Surgeon. the battery in that would be too.

When electric current flows in a conductor you will get an electromagnetic field around conductors, your pixie dust detector device is showing that one as a form of induction😆 Gaz Yorkshire.

If you look them up, they are considered safe, however as I posted before, you do have some effects which can be alarming, from being able to mess with animal behavior (hence why you always hear about pet owners having issues with their pets wanting to be in their EV), to some sensitive people in how they feel from excessive amounts. Really high amounts can cause cell growth and other concerning issues, but not sure how those levels compared to these.

Having spent a lifetime repairing consumer electronics including CRT TV's which some had a warning label on the tube i am still here and not suffered any illnesses associated with electomagnetic radiation. The symptoms most commonly experienced include dermatological symptoms (redness, tingling, and burning sensations) as well as neurasthenic and vegetative symptoms (fatigue, tiredness, concentration difficulties, dizziness, nausea, heart palpitation, and digestive disturbances) I would expect a Porsche to be well shielded, you would need to check other brands to see if they are the same.

Hold it next to sticky Vicky 😂❤

Remember (google always tell the truth) If EMF & Radio waves are not dangerous - WHY have they now told people NOT to hold mobile phones next to their head - it is in the small print of EVERY mobile phone now- BUT they also said that it was rubbish years ago - so WHY the change !! Carrying a mobile phone & wearing "smart" watches are all depremental to human health !

Try walking towards your micro when it is on, I stay well clear of them when cooking since I tested one the leakage is frightening.

Would be interesting to see what other EV’s are emitting. My guess is Porsche would have the best protection. Maybe get some comparison readings from cheaper vehicles and also be good to check an electric bus. There is a challenge for you and Geoff….?

Actually there is evidence for danger from these feild..look deeper...

There is a reason why people do not buy houses near electricity pylons!

You need a better emf metre I can pick up power lines above with mine.

Great video lee, but should be careful using hand held devices whilst driving! an eagle eyed road user may say you were on a mobile.

Remember how the government encouraged us to buy diesel cars?

Could the reading be coming from G x5 masts? Try your device around Smart Meters. Just asking.

If it’s claimed that magnetic fields are not a hazard to humans , then why would a device need to be manufactured to test magnetic field levels and why would it need to indicate danger levels ?.

That may be down to build quality of Porsche maybe over evs will be different depending upon the manufacturer

This is hilarious. I don't put a lot of trust in a generic "meter". Ask a proper scientist, Lee. (I'm not a scientist, btw) You wouldn't advise your child to Google "graphic design" rather than train at a university, after all. I suggest you use the same meter near your microwave oven. I think it will go crazy. I do know that an electromagnetic pulse will fry electronics, in fact weapons utilising EMPs have been theorised for decades. Any strong electromagnetic field will destroy every electronic device on the car. Such a field could only be generated by a nuclear weapon. You're probably more in danger from 5G mobile phone masts. And they are harmless. Don't forget hospital scanners utilise strong magnetic fields and electromagnetic fields. I think the EV haters are getting desperate, now that we see more and more EVs on the road, up 10% this year, but they are not bursting into flames or exploding.

You need to place the detector under your testes Lee.

Be careful, check the MacNadgers, Lee.

Buy a petrol or diesel car full stop

Thanks Lee, thought provoking. Im not a dismisser, nor a conspiracy theorist. I like to research and investigate. I remember a cluster of leukemia cases that was diagnosed in children in the 70s near where i lived. Upon investigation it was 'possibly' linked to a nearby electrical substation where children lived and played. Also there were overhead power cables. When pressed re the investigation.....the magnetic eletrical field was a significant factor. Yet inconclusive. Cant get more non committal than that. 😮

I suffer from electromagnetic hypersensitivity” or EHS . Laptops cause me temporary leg nerve damage, so I have to use a laptop on a metal lap table. This is due to microwaves from the 2.4 gig wifi, not from low-frequency vehicle radiation. However, this could be a problem for some people. Motor windings are the most likely cause of low frequency radiation when driving.

Lee, I've heard that people with heart pacemakers must not be around magnetic fields. I am not totally sure of that, but that would indeed be a problem if someone with that implant drove an electric car. Maybe someone else can comment on that. A little scary, I would say. Test the radiation and magnetic fields in a petrol car. Ha Ha. Stan

Test it on your next fish and chips 😂

Electro magnetic radiation is the one to worrybabout? A google search cannot be relied on as negettive comments on Electro magnetic dangers will have been suppressed by governments and makers of these damaging devices

How about checking background 'ionisation' radiation on an aircraft a cruising altitudes from those at sea level😆 You may be surprised, also magnetic radiation is different from ionising radiation.

I know nuthin... but I think that if your magnetic/electric field detector can't detect your radiating phone -- even when you hold it up to its face -- maybeee its not the amazing mr.wizard thingamajig you think it is.

Electromagnetic radiation isn’t as dangerous as ionizing radiation…

Those magnetic field readings are very low so why is the meter saying "warning". The highest was about 11.3 Mg which converts to 1.1 uT which is well below the maximum allowed exposure to the head and torso of 904 uT according to IEEE 2002. But glad to see that you are all charged up Lee. Fun video so I liked it.

When DC is converted to AC the equipment responsible (the inverter) emits EMF which is picked up by your meter

Hi Lee as ive said in the past im an ev driver but a year ago i had an icd fitted for my heart and have been advised not to sit in the car when on charge. Food for thought maybe ? .keep up your great vlogs mate.😊

Hi lee, great vids as always. When i was a kid in the 80s, we were lucky to have a microwave. So sitting in our kitchen waiting for our tea, we watched the portable tv, 5 meters from the oven. And every 15 to 20 seconds a huge band of interference rolled down the screen. My mom just laughed it off saying " Just cooking you for later haha " Remember it was the old analogue signal. Anyways im still alive (same age as you mate) but my hair has started (falling out) thinning lol 😉🤣

There are no batteries in the rear footwells on the Taycan, they leave them out so there is room for your feet!

It's gotta be coming from the motor. I'm thinking inductors can cause it. This means that you should observe the highest readings during acceleration.

It will be interesting to check out the A/C and DC charging differences with your meter.

Nosebleeds headaches fatigue… emf radiation are associated with many symptoms

Pretty sure I have read articles about cancer clusters over the years believed to be from substations and overhead power lines

Scientists and regulatory agencies generally agree that low-frequency EMFs pose little danger to human health. But some researchers offer preliminary evidence that some danger may exist for long-term use, specifically to the nervous system and brain cognitive function.

I wouldn't worry about it, your device will not be accurate unless you paid a lot of money for it or it came with a calibration certificate form a recognised test lab. All the testing you're doing has already been done by Porsche, ask them for the levels in their report?

I'm not a fan of EV's, but FFS! Radiation from EV batteries, Oh FFS! What utter bollocks!!

EV electronics (inverters, dc-dc converters) & batteries are encase in metal which acts as a Faraday cage, hence zero readings. The readings you got whilst driving is generated by the wheels, more specifically by the continuous flexing of the tyres.

My uncle was fitted with a pacemaker and the Doctor told him to remove the induction hob fitted in his kitchen

🎵 highway to the danger zone🎵 lol

Different phone providers use Higher power and try the phone when its ringing. I blame my phone for left neck cancer.
