Induction Hobs, a warning

[Trotter]

A lot of posts on the Forums ( Fori ?) re Induction Hobs. Please be aware, if you have had a Pacemaker fitted, if using an Induction thingie, you won't be around to eat your dinner. You'll be Brown Bread = Dead.

There's quite a few things that could have detrimental effects to folks with 'bits' in them....
Some even affect folks without....
Place I used to visit to work on the aircon systems needed to be shut down due to RF radiation...
Even the military radio system Fitted to my Landrover in service has labels to prohibit 'loitering' on the wing mounted antennas.

Getting back on topic :hammer: ...


I Thought I would look into this further as while I don't have a Pacemaker, I DO use an Induction Hob in the Camper and wondered what's the "safe distance" for anyone so equipped to be near and if I need to put a warning out!

Seems that the issue is exaggerated and quite a few people with pacemakers actually USE Induction Hobs themselves and it is not as clear-cut as some think, reading this post from the "Pacemaker Club" ... Pacemaker Club: Induction Hobs
But for those concerned, it looks like within 60cm is a "Danger Zone" . So if you see a Zebra saying "Time for a cuppa" keep 2 foot clear if you have a PM.
