my problem

Seshmet
well i found it what it was it is the AC adapters that are up high the one to the computer printer which was easy i just put it on to a surge protector box that i can turn it off and on when i need it I am leaving it off now plus the other which i am having a hard time with is the AC adapter to the modem the ATT one which i need just to get internet i moved it to the wall beside me about 4 ft away but still felt it so someone from another group gave me a suggestion cover outside with aluminum foil and ground it another suggestion was to use a faraday cage whatever that is. I havent figured out how to ground this aluminum foil yet but i put it on yesterday anyway and now instead of effecting me or measuring from 3-4 feet it is only measureing on EMF about 1-2 feel. So it is helping but still feel slight tingles in my arm occasionally on that side where that adapter is even tho meter says nothing. Why is this?

thanks

Seshmet

It's probably emitting different frequencies than the meter was designed to read.
Or you're just really sensitive to levels below what the meter can detect.

Besides relocating and shielding an AC adapter, you could also shop around for a different
adapter that is rated at the same DC output voltage and the same DC amperage and see if
that makes a difference. Also, if your adapter accepts 110 - 220 volts / 50 - 60 hz AC
as input, you could look for one which only accepts the voltage / frequency that's
actually in your house (this is called a "non-switching" power supply, and since
its a different technology, it outputs different frequencies than a "switching"
power supply). There are websites which sell adapters, and I've even purchased
new ones on eBay. Just do a search using the terms "AC", "DC", the voltage and
the amperage.

Also, another potential advantage of purchasing an alternate AC/DC
adapter is you might be able to choose a longer cord length so
the adapter is further away from you, or the transformer is placed
at the plug outlet instead of halfway along the cord, etc.
