Guest guest Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Thanks Straitguy, but you may not want *this* velostat hat -- it isn't sewn, it's duct-taped together! (I bet I'm a worse sewer than you.) Also, even though the velostat hat didn't work well against the cell tower, we are still testing it against other types of EMFs. We suspect it works better than the metallic fabric hat around computers, washer/dryers, things like that. Still gathering more data on this, will keep everyone posted. Cara I will buy the hat with velostat in it if you want to sell it. I am a terrible sewer and can use another hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Hi Straitguy, Please don't worry. I appreciate the information about the velostat and I feel that making the hat was absolutely worth a try. Velostat is inexpensive, as shielding materials go, plus who knows, the hat may be helpful around other types of EMFs (like computers) or it may work better once we modify it by adding a Springlife Polarizer, or attach it to a grounding rod. And, like I said before, I am even more interested in how these protective measures make us feel than I am in measurements taken with meters and such. So please, don't apologize for reporting your experiences. I think sharing this kind of information is absolutely invaluable, even when our individual results sometimes vary. We're collecting data and forming a better understanding of ES among ourselves -- and that will serve all of us in the end. Cara I hope I didn't cause you to waste any money on velostat. > > Straitguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 , please clarify: do you mean the shielding fabrics you used do not contain ANY metallic fibers? The only shielding fabrics I have come across so far contain a fine metallic fiber/mesh and this is apparently what causes the shielding effect. If there are other types of shielding fabrics, what is the non-metallic material in the fabric that gives the protective effect? Thanks, Cara So I am not for using metals on the head, because you pick up other unwanted signals. Better is using a fabric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 I mean the complete metallic materials, like aluminium or other products like isolation materials painters use. I have nothing against fabrics with metallic fibers in it, like silver. There are shielding fabrics which contain carbon, like Smogshield.
