    You have to align that too? No wonder its been all over the place.

    Now I think I have to buy a used parallel flux capacitor to do that.. man but those things are really expensive.... The cost of going into hyperdrive is getting rediculous...

    what's that guys name in used parts? Wattu or something?.... You don't have his number do you?

    I can not believe I missed it either.

    He had me going for a minute. I was starting to think.."man this guy HAS to be a christian"

    It takes so long to get parts from him. I use a local guy, retired now but still keeps his hand in it. Names Q. Very reasonable prices.

    I've heard about Q.... he's a pretty sharp cookie.... kinda funky sense of humor though.

    The problem with using Q. is that he sells your customer info to the Borg. Then the Borg will NEVER leave you alone. I had to move out of the galaxy.

    Some time ago Q sold me a ticket to the Fifth Dimension. I thought the Age of Aquarius had come 'round again. Couldn't wait to hear Marilyn McCoooooo and Billy again!

    No wonder no one but me showed up at that "concert"! :blink:

    Not to be rude, but I have a doctor appointment. He's trying to figure out why everything I see looks like a photographic negative...

    Well I am a dyslexic and as we well know they hate dyslexics. To quote a member " I am dyslexic of Borg. Fusistence is retile. Your nice person will be laminated." They hate dyslexics. Really hate that it just gums up the whole works!

    I thought you were worried about an EMP (Electro magnetic pulse) from a nukular explosion.

    I just cover my car in tin foil. The foil can be reused every day for a week. My car will be the only one to survive the EMP and I can escape on the freeways. Of course if I am driving when the EMP hits.... :blink:

    When you're done washing with that soap . . . better get a few more discs to sheidl any steel belted radials in your vehicles. Spinning wheels generate magnetic fields too. No joke!

    Sigh. I was having a good laugh, and someone had to go and ask a question. Can't resist a good question.
    The use of electromagnetic (or electromotive) force results in radio frequency energy output. The amateur radio community is required to adhere to rules concerning RF, so yes, there are guidelines. Remember - you brought this on yourself!

    Exposure Categories
    There are two categories used for specifying exposure limits to radio frequency energy (RF). The first is controlled, which indicates that the energy is being absorbed by an individual who knows the energy is there. We can probably safely assume that Prius owners and those riding with them realize they're in the car, and that the car is moving. (If not, that's another discussion...) Hence, occupants of Prii fall into the “controlled environment†category. The other is uncontrolled, which indicates that the energy is being absorbed by an individual who is largely unaware of it. An example would be someone who lives near a radio station antenna tower – the energy is there, but the individual doesn’t know that it is (or at least can’t control the exposure.)

    Frequency-independent limit
    The first limit imposed on RF energy exposure the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is independent of the frequency, and is a measure of power density. The uncontrolled SAR limit is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg), as measured over any one gram of tissue. The controlled SAR limit is 8 watts per kilogram, as measured over any one gram of tissue. Power density is calculated by multiplying the radiated power by 33.4, and dividing the result by the square of the distance from the transmitting antenna. We don't know the frequencies generated by the "things" in a Prius, nor do we know the power at which they are radiated. (However, for cellphone use (the original purpose of this writeup), using the 0.6W rating of a standard digital cellphone , and assuming that the antenna of the phone is held 1 inch from the user’s head, the power density exposure is approximately 0.02W/kg for a cellphone.)

    Frequency-driven limit
    The other limit is called the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE). MPE is dependent on the transmitted frequency. For frequencies below 1GHz, there are a series of formulæ based on frequency bands. For frequencies from 1GHz to 2GHz, the controlled MPE is fixed at 5μW/cm2 accumulated in 6 minutes and the uncontrolled MPE is fixed at 1μW/cm2 accumulated in 30 minutes. (Digital cellphones operate in the 1.9GHz band when communicating with a digital cell, so these values apply. Analog cellphones operate in the 850MHz band. Multiband (most) phones operate in this band as well when they are out of range from a digital cell. At 850MHz, the controlled MPE is 2.67μW/cm2 accumulated in 6 minutes and the uncontrolled MPE is 0.53μW/cm2 accumulated in 30 minutes.)

    The FCC has developed algorithms for determining the minimum distance from the transmitting antenna necessary to meet power density limits to stay within the MPE. They’ve found that if you’re outside the distance calculated for the given frequency, the power dropoff is enough that you’ll stay under the MPE limits. (Again, for cellphones, at 850MHz, the uncontrolled distance is 0.75†(yes, that’s three-quarters of an inch), and the controlled distance is 0.33â€. At 1.9GHz, the uncontrolled distance is 0.5â€, and the controlled distance is 0.25â€. It is next to impossible to get the antenna that close to your head and still use the phone. In short, to avoid overexposing yourself to RF radiation when using a cellphone, don't stick the antenna in your ear. If you insist on sticking the antenna in your ear, limit your use to six minutes per hour.)

    Extremely low frequency fields, including those in a static magnetic field, are calculated a bit differently, and have different MPE levels. For frequencies below 1000 Hz, the MPE is 10mW/m2 RMS, averaged over a six minute period. The averaging is important in the Prius, because the frequency and power will vary depending on load being delivered to the system.

    To do a really truly test of the Prius, someone (not me!) needs to get a DC-to-daylight frequency counter, and determine the frequency of the RF being generated (I bet it's way low), then use an RF wattmeter calibrated for that frequency band to determine the power of the signal (again, I bet it's way low). A large series of measurements would be required to determine the frequency and power output under a wide variety of circumstances, and then a weighted distribution could be developed to arrive at an estimated range of exposures based on speed, acceleration, and load.

    I'd bet dollars to donuts that you get many, many times more exposure from your cellphone.

    Aren't you glad you asked?

    the discs are a scam, and the soap is a scam. you would do just as well to wrap aluminum foil on your head ! :lol:
