We have a toolroom associate that had a pace maker put in recently. Before he is released to go back to work, his doctor wants to make sure we don't have an excessive electromagnetic field that could interfere with his pace maker. Our toolroom has magnetic chucks etc. How do I measure the electromagnetic field in GAUSS? Is there a professional company that can perform surveys for this in or near OHIO?

Thank you in advance,

This site has a lot of stuff regarding EMF measurement, including metres which will allow measurement in gauss

You can find Gauss Meters in most industrial/electronic catalogs for $30.00 and up.

they also make personal, wearable gauss meters, with alarms, for people who wear pacemakers.

Just make sure that you wear one of these Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanies.

I'm kinda familiar with EMF radiation because I nearly got killed in a Blackhawk helicopter one time because of it back in the late 80's. All US Military aircraft have to have hardened electronics due to EMF. The major problem would be pulse from a nuke, but radio/tv transmissions can cause it too among other things.

Yeah I was standing about like 1000 yards from a thermonuclear explosion one time (back in the 80's) and that EMF pulse stopped my watch just milliseconds after the detonation. Of course I didn't live to tell about it...

I know what you mean. I was about 1/4 mile away from an armed Titan 2 in 1980 when it exploded in the silo and tossed the "gizmo" into the Arkansas night sky. The EMF pulse was the least of our concerns at the time.

I was fishin' for crappie on Big Lake near Blytheville one time (back in 1980) and a gizmo shot clean down out of the sky and vaporized our beer-cooler. We thought it was a secret weapon test. That was yours? No effects from the EMF - the fish-finder still worked OK, but sans beer it ruined our day...I have spent all these years wondering if the Air Force had a secret beer-cooler seeking warhead...

Ha, ha, very funny....

Follow the link, it was real exciting

All I can say is WOW. Glad you survived!

The "Gizmo" or "Thing", which is how we referred to it, was found the next day alongside a stream in some bushes in a nearly pristine condition internally according to reports. On the otherhand I was found changing my shorts and cleaning up afterwards:lol:
