Title: EMF,Some Observations Post by: Raymond_B on January 29, 2018, 12:48:01 AM Jabby brought up EMF in an earlier thread so I thought I would perform some tests. Now these are very non-scientific backyard DIY observations, and no claims are made by me one way or another as to the safety of this equipment. I am just passing on what I saw using a cheap EMF meter. So if you get cancer or grow a 3rd arm IT'S NOT MY FAULT!
The meter I used is here http://amzn.to/2Grg8ov Alright, so I started roughly 20' away from my 3 miners (2 S9s and 1 S7 all running new Bitmain APW3++). Zero readings on my meter. 10' No reading on the meter 1' from an S9 Jan batch 13.5 TH/s http://www.buildpics.org/wp-content/gallery/antminer-emf/20180129_000337852_iOS.jpg 6.5" From an S9 Jan batch 13.5 TH/s http://www.buildpics.org/wp-content/gallery/antminer-emf/20180129_000355410_iOS.jpg Right up on the miner http://www.buildpics.org/wp-content/gallery/antminer-emf/20180129_000401345_iOS.jpg After that I tested some household items. Regular fan ~12" http://www.buildpics.org/wp-content/gallery/antminer-emf/20180129_000441487_iOS.jpg Regular fan ~5" http://www.buildpics.org/wp-content/gallery/antminer-emf/20180129_000446179_iOS.jpg Right up on the fan motor http://www.buildpics.org/wp-content/gallery/antminer-emf/20180129_000457495_iOS.jpg Breaker panel http://www.buildpics.org/wp-content/gallery/antminer-emf/20180129_000558627_iOS.jpg Breaker http://www.buildpics.org/wp-content/gallery/antminer-emf/20180129_000607769_iOS.jpg Brother printer! http://www.buildpics.org/wp-content/gallery/antminer-emf/20180129_000743642_iOS.jpg Pioneer Stereo Reciver http://www.buildpics.org/wp-content/gallery/antminer-emf/20180129_000844040_iOS.jpg TV http://www.buildpics.org/wp-content/gallery/antminer-emf/20180129_000917913_iOS.jpg Microwave running http://www.buildpics.org/wp-content/gallery/antminer-emf/20180129_001002418_iOS.jpg So I feel that yeah, if you blanket yourself in Antminers it's bad :) But more than a foot or so and you do not have to worry. As an anecdote the meter started flashing harmful when I was outside my garage near a power line... Title: Re: EMF,Some Observations Post by: Shazam!!! on January 29, 2018, 09:48:24 AM This is great! Hahaha! I could only imagine what's happening to me, when I'm at work, processing 1150 ton
plastic injection moulding machines. I do believe you are correct though, unless you are hugging or sleeping on those miners, for extended periods of time, they are not that bad. |
