If you know how to make magnetic fields "fly away" please let us know!

Please be aware that none of the GrahamStetzer filters have ground
plugs, as there is no need for them to. This does not affect the grounding on
your computer, etc. in any way.
The filters create a short for the high frequency electrical pollution.
In the US this means the high frequencies are shunted to the neutral.
Only one of the wires in US household wiring is hot. The other wire is the
neutral. The hot wire has 120 volts, and the neutral currrently about 3-4
volts. (Technically the neutral is not neutral. It should not have any voltage
on it, but now it does.)
Three or four volts is still so low that there is not enough energy to
cause the high frequencies to broadcast out into your living space once they
are on the neutral instead of the hot wire. This is how the "filters" work.
When you have one on a powerstrip or outlet where your computer is
plugged in, the high frequencies that the computer (or whatever) creates stay in
the computer, in a little loop. They cannot pass on along the wiring.
In Europe, both the wires in household wiring are hot and you do not
have 70% of the current returning to the substations via terra firma as we do in
the US, so the GS filters are able to trap all the high frequencies. Very
fortunate.
