Interesting stuff

pronina_n
Hello
I have noticed this: I have got radio headphones (radioshack). They
often made a loud painful burst of noise into the ears, especially
when the microwave oven was turned on. But now after all the sockets
were grounded, the headphones doesn't make this noise. That means it
helps.
Have you tried LCD kits where all the parts are separate and you
should assemble it yourself. For example the controller is made to go
into PCI slot. And inverter for the light is external. So you can
assemble it so that in front of you only the LCD panel itself plus the
light were present, but other parts will be remote. Interesting stuff
was found on how to remake a cheap LCD screen into a not bad projector
cheaply to try that setting. From that article I understood that
actually you can try to remake an LCD into the system described above
with the innards placed remotely if you understand something in this
matters.

Yes interesting. Can you say more about how you grounded the sockets?
Do you mean the wall sockets or on the headphones? If you used a grounding
rod, how long is the wire that goes to it? Is the base station
plugged in on the same circuit as the microwave oven? Do you know
what frequency the headphones use? Also, if you could send a link
to the LCD kit that you mean?

I do think if one has some intuition for electronics, it is possible to
reduce
the emissions of an LCD panel. Adding foil shielding, putting ferrite
chokes
on cables, increasing contact area between shields grounded to each other.
Moving the electronics out certainly is a good idea, and some people have
replaced the backlights with small LED lights. A projector is also a good
idea
(but make sure the power supply does not contaminate your house wiring).
I've heard of one guy who uses fiber optics for connections so that he
doesn't
have to worry about the cables radiating. But he's an engineer...

I have recently taken a 15inch LCD apart to acheive what you say, my
intention was to use daylight as a light scource behind the LCD panel, I took out
the inverter plus the cold cathode flourecent lights, but the stumbling block
for me was the short cable that links the LCD with the mother circuit board.
I tried to slice and soldier 14 very small wires toa telephone extension but
it did not work, I am now going to use equivekant wire and shrink wrap, I
will let you know how I get on perhaps post a photo or 2. It makes good sense
to try by a process of elimination to discover the main problem electronics,
it might turn out that the lcd panel will also be a problem after a while and
so on....

Day before yesterday I tried a different approach having aquired a 22 IIYAMA
CRT - I sat approx 1.8m from it zoomed up the fonts moved the laptop 3m away
and observed that the feeling from this was less imediately troubling than
using my 17inch LCD at a similar distance. This causes fairly rapid onset of
skin itching/tingling to temples/scalp/ears/face plus great agitation and
then on to cognitive disfunction.
The CRT cuases more noticble increase in tinitus and a deep fatigue set in,
unfortnatley I felt really ill yesterday as a result, ie more sensitive than
ususal !

Tommorow I start a job as a surveyor on a good hourly rate as I need the
money, but whata bad idea this has got to be, people say, I say - give it a go
and see what happens, but I have been doing this now for 5 yrs so I am stuck in
the same broken record, I have high earning potential but it relies on being
able to use a computer for a good few hours sat at a desk amidst other
users, mobiles, flourecents general office environment, plus alot of driving long
distance to get to sites the alternative is to seek more manual work but to
slave away for little money - my idea was to work less hours from home, but
this is thartwed by the PC issue, what a dam visious circle - but my advice to
anyone who finds themselves in this position is not to keep punishing
themselves by staying in computer related work, get out early and seek alternatives
otherwise you will run yourself into the fround, afer 5 yrs of hanging onto
my chosen carreer as a building surveyor I am now heading his way - unless
that is some genius can find me a way to sit and veiw a computer image witout
world war 3 errupting in my sore head !

I suppose in simple terms it find job that you like (ex computers etc) and
get over the money bit, easier said than done .

About the sockets: An electrician was called to do that. In our
country we have usually sockets with just too openings and without a
grounding contact. So our apartment house has an opportunity to make a
grounding in a fuse box. Actually the master put a cable from there to
all the sockets in our apartment where were devices with such kind of
plug (euro standard). He changed the sockets that were there
consequently on the other, euro type with a contact for the grounding.
Then he connected the contacts on the sockets with the cable that went
to the fuse box. What is interesting is that there was a demonstration
that the grounding works. He took an ordinary bulb and put one
contact from it to one opening of the socket and the other contact to
the grounding contact and the bulb started to light as if it was just
connected to a socket. I don't quite understand what is the base
station, if you mean by that the transmitter base of the headphones
then the answer is this: The headphones itself doesn't have a
grounding plug/contact as well as their base station. They use
frequencies in the MHz range as far as I remember. "900 MHz" is
written on them.
Ø Is the base station
plugged in on the same circuit as the microwave oven?
I think yes but don't know for sure.
What interesting about this projector is that they tell how completely
dismantle an LCD and to put it together again. So you understand from
that that it could be assembled but with the innards moved out if you
have some knowledge. Although that is risky you can take a cheap used
LCD for that end. This is the link
http://www.tomshardware.com/2004/11/13/supersize_your_tv_for_/page2.html
About the kits. It needs some research. It's too long now to search
for that link for the site which I have found. Try google, may be I
will find it later.

At least as a surveyor you can wear a metal helmet and look normal!

The surveyors here now use 400MHz pulsed GPS correction transmitters.
Don't hang out near the base station (30 watts)!

Hmmm, I went back to computer work and have been doing it for 6 years since
getting ES, and don't regret it. This difference in opinion between you
and I seems to be due to my being able to find supplements and EMF devices
that make the workplace tolerable for me.

Not surprized that the CRT didn't work out. I'm sure
it was a 19 inch NEC CRT that initially made me
electrosensitive back in 2001. That and a botched up
amalgam filling. A few seconds in front of that thing
would put me out for days.

I've been trying a Hewlet Packard 2510p. It's an
ultra portable laptop with an Intel ultra low voltage
processor and LED backlit. It has no wireless devices installed.
I'm using a USB keyboard and mouse, both of which are shielded,
and I'm sitting 6 ft away.

So far the tinnitus and chest pains are somewhat
under control. Been on it for 4 hours now and just feeling
the need to get the f* off it. That's after a day of getting fried
at work. This laptop is a far cry from the L2000 ("live strong" my
butt) laptop which ultimately burnt me up. It'll take another
week or so to come up with a final assessment.

Now it's running on the AC adapter without the battery installed.
It emits the lowest magnetic field this way.

Also, got my first Methyl B-12 intramuscular injection last week.
It seems to have given me some more strength to overcome this ES
calamity. Additionally, for the tinnitus I'm trying a supplement
called "lipo flavenoid". It's available at Wallgreens. It has Inositol
and a bunch of B vitamins, with lemon extract.

Gotta keep trying.

I would expect the AC adapter to contaminate your power lines
unless you have it on a filter? I imagine some power supplies would
be better than the stock adapter?

Do let us know how you get on with this, how much did this lot cost ? oh
size of screnn etc..

Here's a link to the specs:
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06a/321957-321957-64295-321838-306995-3355633.html

It cost 1800 U.S. dollars.
It has a 12 inch screen.
It runs 10 hours on a single charge (9 cell battery).
My L2000 "live strong" microwave oven gets 2 hours on the
same battery.

This laptop is a step in the right direction. Will provide
an update soon. I have to burn it in so all the chemicals emanating
from it don't enter my brain. I did get a bad headache after 4
hours of use and suspect it's the chemicals. It's sitting outside
idling.

Currently testing my Mitsubishi pocket projector again. Cleaned
up the power supply with a filter. The house no longer rattles
when it's on.

This is link concerning LCD kits: http://store.earthlcd.com The site
needs research.
You could find other sites with such products on the internet, maybe
cheaper than here. For example I have found that link with that
keywords: "LCD panel" + kit.
