Gauss Meter: What is That Thing?

GAUSS METER
Electromagnetic fields (EMF's) are all around us. They exist in the power transmission and distribution lines outside our homes and throughout the household wiring in the house. In addition, EMFs are produced by the use of electronic devices found in the home, such as appliances, computers, televisions, electric blankets and clock radios.


Electrical and magnetic fields are invisible lines of force surrounding any electrical device. They are the result of sending alternating current (AC) through wires and appliances. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reviewed 50 epidemiological studies and hundreds of biological studies and acknowledge that low level electromagnetic fields may increase the risk of cancer. A general recommendation is "prudent avoidance" of exposures above 2-3 milliGauss. An EMF detection meter can help you to determine safe distances form electrical devices and wiring and what "hot spots" around your home should be avoided.

What Exactly is a Gauss Meter?
EMF Detectors are also known as Gauss meters. These meters measure Electro-Magnetic Fields. The meters are used to detect the presence of electro-magnetic energy in the atmosphere.

These meters are utilized to measure the levels of a variety of emissions from a variety of items in a given area. Using a Gauss Meter at regular intervals can help ensure that no emission levels are going over levels that are considered dangerous.

They can also give you and idea of which devices the emissions are coming from and whether they are particularly concentrated around specific devices. They can also help you to decide whether you should take steps to lower the emission levels of the device you are monitoring if the emissions you are measuring are health hazards.

The Gauss Meters will allow you to determine where the fields are strongest so that you can make an effort to avoid them if you are incapable of reducing them. They also can help you to determine where to distribute protection products to ensure that the electromagnetic emissions are decreased to the lowest possible level.

Check out the house or property you want to investigate by walking through the entire building with your Gauss meter and take readings. Walk through several times to ensure a good, accurate reading is received. Make notes of where electrical wiring and appliance are located.

What Are Some of the Uses of a Gauss Meter?
Move furniture away from hot spots and avoid exposure to EMF

Purchase Cellular phones that have low emissions

Purchase appliances and autos that have low emissions

Purchase homes that are not in high EMF areas near power lines

Show children a safe distance form the TV

Purchase computer monitors that are not high in radiation

Check to see if your microwave is leaking

Reduce computer freezes/crashes by placing it away from high spots

Detect if car engine is skipping a cylinder (which uses excess gas)

Detect if someone is using your WiFi connection (could steal your info)

Improve WiFi reception in your home by finding best places to locate unit

Detect plumbing at home that is carrying current due to improper wiring

Detect improper wiring at home (reduce risk of electrocution, fire, shorts)

Cancer patients and parents can avoid electromagnetic fields at home and work

Conduct EMF surveys for home owners

Help home purchasers avoid homes high in EMF

Find metal objects in the beach (treasure hunter)

Detect computer drives which will fail (EMF noisy drives)

An Affordable Gauss Meter
Dr. Gauss is an accurate, easy-to-use, and affordable Gaussmeter developed to allow you to perform your own EMF survey. It detects and measures EMFs (electromagnetic fields) produced by electrical currents found in and around the home, at school, in the workplace and other electrical transmission areas. It is especially important to check for EMF emissions in and around areas and electrical devices that you and your family are exposed to regularly

The Dr. Gauss meter, is a moderately-priced, hand-held EMF detector, costing around $35. This little meter measures the level of ELF magnetic field radiation from power lines, computers, kitchen appliances, and more! The easy to read scale, unique built-in audio signal and auto shut off make it simple to use and a great way to find hidden sources of ELF frequency magnetic fields.

Most experts agree that chronic exposure to more than 2.5 milli-Gauss is inadvisable. This meter will show you which areas are above or below 2.5 milli-Gauss in the 50 - 60 Hz frequency range.

Hand-held, lightweight and durable, with two easy to read scales (0-1 mG, & 0-10 mG), and dramatic audio signal. Our favorite meter for demonstrating the presence of dangerous EMFs to others and paranormal work. Requires one 9V battery (not included). Calibrated at 50-60 Hz.
