Re: Earthing pads: EMF fabric protection...

I probably shouldn't post this, but I was looking this morning, and thinking about grounding...and discovered all kinds of great fabrics, for do-it-yourself EMF-protective designing...

I could picture Uny with one of the "not-your-grandma's chicken wire' canopies. (And also, see a whole new retreat centre/health spa focus.) And i was intrigued with the very thin fabric for silver underwear...I can see people really liking that because it's got style. .(not sure it's included here. AND damn. The pictures won't post.


well, just for interest, then...


SILVERELL® FABRIC

"Soft and Stretchy as a Cotton T-Shirt"

(this is nice-looking: I envision PJ's.)

Take cotton and silver. Make a super soft yarn, then knit into a beautifully soft fabric which is a delight to wear. That’s Silverell! Because it’s knitted, it has a nice stretch in one direction. Because it’s Silver it has good conductivity, anti-static properties, and shielding (and odor control). And because it’s cotton, it’s comfortable and washable. A great material for making garments and bedding. ~90% RF attenuation from 800 MHz to 18 GHz. Machine washable. Light gray color. 62 inch wide.

- Material: 16% Silver/nylon + 84% Cotton
- Construction: Jersey knit
- Yarn count: Dtex44/12
- Weight: 134 g/m²
- Surface resistivity: <5 Ohm per sq
- Shielding effectiveness: >20 dB
- RoHS compliant
Silverell Fabric (Cat. #A1224) ........ $22.95 per lin ft

LIGHT DUTY FARADAY CANOPY

When Moderate RF Reduction Will Do

Give your body a chance to rest! Attractive and functional canopy can be used over beds or other similar sized areas to reduce radiofrequency radiation.

Made from very light weight Swiss Shield Daylight fabric (100% polyester net-knit, with 5% silver-plated copper fiber content) which stops over 97% (16dB) of microwave radiation energy penetration (over at least 200-3000 MHz).

Nice veil-like appearance (plenty of air and light penetration), and has the conductive components on the inside of the threads, so no metal coating to flake and no need for grounding! Canopy covers the top and sides of bed. Easy to get in/out of bed and lots of head room.

Can be washed in gentle cycle, with mild detergent. Even frequent washing seems to do no harm to the shielding power of the fabric. Comes with swag hooks and an easily detachable hoop for easy mounting. Very transportable too.
Some owners say using this product to reduce RF has alleviated their symptoms associated with electrosensitivity, such as ringing in the ears, headaches/migraines, insomnia, confusion, irritability, nausea, circulation problems, etc. Manufactured by wireless-protection.org. 2 sizes:
Light Duty Faraday Canopy King Size (Cat. #A200-K) … $1099.00
Light Duty Faraday Canopy Twin Size (Cat. #A200-T) … $759.00


HEAVY DUTY FARADAY CANOPY
"Industrial Strength for Home Use"

This is not your granny’s chicken wire.

A truly ultra-fine metal wire mesh providing very high shielding performance is fashioned into a durable and very functional Faraday canopy for your bed, desk or other living space. Resists tearing, flaking or loss of performance due to bending, folding or wear and tear. Tin coated 4 mil copper wire, interlock knitted with an average hole size of less than 1 millimeter provides a whopping 40 dB (99%) or better reduction of RF signals from 1 MHz to 2.5 GHz and beyond.

Excellent low frequency electric field shielding also. Surface conductivity is 0.1 Ohm per sq. Two sizes available, both 6 feet tall so you get plenty of head room and continuous under the mattress. About 10 pounds overall, includes mounting hardware and ground cord. If you are concerned about reflections inside the shield, line a portion of it with Microwave Absorber Sheet.

HEAVY DUTY FARADAY CANOPY:
King Size (Cat. #A208-K) ……… $895.00
Twin Size (Cat. #A208-T) ……… $595.00


Oops, SORRY, can't remember what the site was--I was initially googling the question of whether a mouse-pad needs grounding... and found all these EMF-protective fabrics. Wow. The same site also sells a grounding cord with alligator clip, and all sorts of 'neat' textiles and screens. All of which has more serious appeal these days. Anything, that is, that reduces the toxic load.

(I will try to locate the URL..or, anyone with interest can google the fabric name, likely.) Tweet
