monitor radiation suggestions

[Hyperspeed]

Yeah, this would be interesting to me too as I have an ancient monitor
and I'm concerned it could be the cause of SCSI errors on my cable
nearby.

I doubt aluminium foil would help much if the interference was a
magnetic field.

How do they shield computer speakers? I've heard ferrite can help
diffuse interference (comes in the form of little barrel shaped
collars on longer cables).

The only other thing I can think of is retro-fitting the old monitors
with plastic coated lead panels. Don't know where you can get them but
hospitals have a lot in the radiography departments.

Maybe you should jump under a bus then make off with their protective
gear when you get an X-Ray...

:-D :-D :-D

Sounds a good idea, like a lightning conductor to sap away any RF.

Although, would earthing them turn them into antennae!?

Lead is probably the best option as it's the densest stuff you can
buy, makes you wonder how the A1200's thin aluminium shield filled
with holes (and the shield on a microwave door) can block radiation.

Ferrite and graphite are other good blockers, and weigh far less than
pure lead.

To me, shielding against a magnetic field (as opposed to a radiowave)
could only effectively be done with another magnet in opposite pole.

Yes, computer speakers have shielding but would you want to put a
subwoofer near a monitor?

Even my shielded speakers will spin a compass, so what causes this?
Can anyone explain to me gauss/magnetism?

I know they have to trail electric wires over ships and submarines
because when they're built the Earth's magnetic fields sorta magnetise
their hulls.

Also, TV companies build factories on East/West lines so that the
minute fields of the North and South poles don't interfere with the
construction process.

Weird eh!

:-D
