A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Electromagnetic waves, huh? So does it plunge your workplace into darkness, as well?
Apparently, it stops all atomic movement. No electrons within range will move at all, and thus there will be no electromagnetic waves. Brilliant! Who would have thought that a crappy, cheap, Chinese-made USB device would finally achieve absolute zero?
If my mom knew about this she'd get me one immediately...
She's a mom-myth freak...you know, like pokemon and that stupid stuff. It's so funny sometimes :D
I need this. Does it get rid of the voices in my head also?
so what of your cellphone, wifi, and remote control cars?
does this device just disable those?
Its a good question.
And if its such a dumb question lets see you answer it.
Okay, I'll answer it, dipshit. Since cellular waves and RF waves don't rely on electromagnetic impulses, yes cell phones and wi-fi will still work. Furthermore, there is no way an electromagnetic disrupter would be sold to consumers at only $50. Give me a break. Even if electromagnetic waves did influence those gadgets, this piece of crap, like the blog says, is probably about as effective as one of those miracle air purifiers.
You'r kidding, right, MDB? Cellular waves ARE RF waves. RF waves ARE electromagnetic waves. Basically, anything that isn't matter is part of an electromagnetic wave of some sort. You're the one that is a retarded dipshit. bobdole's question is very valid.
Hahaa! Lol! MDB can go shove.
MDB, anything in the electromagnetic spectrum is an electromagnetic wave. RF is a kind of electromagnetic wave, so according to the device's description, it THEORECTICALLY can get rid of Wi-Fi signals. HOWEVER, as you said, there is no way something that can "jam" Wi-Fi and celluar can to sold to consumers for only 50 bucks. There's no doubt this device is bullshit, but next time, get your physics right.
This MDB guy has a lot of really great commentary. Thanks for your input!
Uh, LEDs on a device that supposed to stop electromagnetic waves? Isn't that kind of like sitting a parking lot revving the engine on your Honda Prius?
Another question. How did they produce the mini-blackhole necessary to suck all that electromagnetic radiation out of the surrounding area and how is that nothing else is sucked in?
That's easy; because it's BULLSHIT. Clearly you can see this. The retards that give me negative ratings seem to have too much faith in humanity. Retards.
MDB: "Since cellular waves and RF waves don't rely on electromagnetic impulses, yes cell phones and wi-fi will still work."
That's a good one, MDB. Keep those jokes coming!
You know, you had me going for a minute there. I actually thought you were serious! Yeah, I know. But I've heard dumber things than that... :-)
MDB - If you are going to use physics to comment on a response then at least demonstrate some knowledge of the subject. The only two things that rely on electromagnetic impulses to work are the fictional "impulse drive" on Star Trek and the (unfortunately) non-fictional nuclear bomb which could be used to create an electromagnetic impulse to fry every electronic device for miles around. The use of derogatory profanity is both unnecessary and a further testament to your lack of knowledge on the subject.
It probably creates more emf than it removes, being powered by ELECTRICITY and all........
Know what else are electromagnetic waves? Light. :)
I turned mine on and Schroedinger's cat died.
It's unfortunate that scams like this even make it to Engadget's front page. It's completely impossible to cancel out all E-M radiation in a room. Even if you band limit your intentions to, say, 0.8-6GHz to encompass cellular, PCS and 802.11a/b/g, you still can't do this from just a point source except imperfectly in in a very tiny region (centimeters in radius) around this point source. Products that promise the impossible shouldn't gain free publicity.
Jesus Engadget, next thing I know you're going to be putting fuel injector magnetizers claiming 30% improved efficiency on the front page. WTF? I understand putting obvious shams up as a joke from time to time, but "a dangerous/not dangerous debate" implies that there's actually a debate to be had, e.g. there's an argument that the device could possibly do anything useful. I guess there's a "debate" whether or not we're all slowly being replaced by pod people as well, if the other end of the "debate" is being held up by the ranting homeless guy on the street corner...
