The main Video of my final outcome..

The 5 Ws

WHY: To raise awareness how much the humankind is surrounded by EMF radiation.


WHAT: It is an EMF detector that senses mobile phone radiation and can also sense objects that have lower Hertz levels as well I.E. Microwave, Lamp, Hair dryer and many more. (To show proof)


WHERE: Everywhere and anywhere.  Simply take it out or indoors and see the world through a different perspective.


WHEN:Anytime. See the difference between an object that is on and off or whilst using the object or not and see the difference within the number of bars.


HOW: Connect the battery and simply see the bars increase or decrease.

OH NO!!!!!!!

An LED EMF detector!

I now enjoyed working with the Arduino, therefore, I wanted to make another type of EMF detector and try out different types of detectors that do the same job. The one I previously made indicated the level of EMF through levels of bars in the bar graph. However, this time I wanted to make an EMF detector that indicated the level of EMF through an single LED light. So;

Bright = High level of EMF radiation level (Run away A.S.A.P and save your life)
Dull = low level of EMF radiation level

IT WORKS!!!!!!

However, the LED light is fuzzy. It doesn't really show a clear understanding of how much radiation there is. Therefore, I prefer to stick with the Bar-graph EMF detector as it shows the level of radiation through clear measurements.

The more I experimented and worked on the Arduino and the programming, the more I began to understand the whole concept and it made more sense.

My survey about radiation.. (I asked people I saw on the streets who were mainly using their phones)

My question;

"Are you aware of the amount of radiation your mobile phone gives out?"

1. The first person I interviewed doesn't care about the radiation but maybe seeing the amount would make her realise how much radiation is actually around her.

2. The second says she is aware of the amount of radiation but needs her phone because she uses for her business but the detector I made would make her realise even more about radiation and therefore she would try and solve this situation by using headphones whilst talking or preferring text rather than calling.

3. The last said she don't believe what to believe about radiation. So my EMF detector would be a proof for her to see the amount of radiation through her own eyes. How harmful it is and maybe she would use her phone lesser.

The reason why I interviewed people is because I began to question my product. So I wanted to see what kind of people would use my product and when? where? How useful would it be? The EMF radiation detector I made would be useful for these people?

Using something different to explore + experiment = learn :D

I was playing around with the Arduino circuit I made that had the bar graph attached. I uploaded the code to work with my bar graph and this time, used the 'Slider'as a means to experiment with the levels of light. When I slide the slider down, the level of light decreases and when I do the opposite it increases.

PHEW!!

ATLAST I managed to make the bar graph light up! The problem was with the wires that was connected to the wrong place in the Arduino and also the coding done for it was wrong so it had to be re-done. After hitting the 'Upload' button the level of bars in the LED bar graph was 0 but as I whent closer to the computers, plugs, light bulb, kettle and microwave it lit and boosted up to 10 bars!!!! AMAZING eh? But the problem is that the EMF detector I made, doesn't really sense the amount of radiation coming out from mobile phones unless if the wire touches the cell phone.

I am still working on this to improve the sensitivity...

Its not working :(

I have managed to sort out the coding. Even though, there aren't no problems in the coding, my Arduino kit doesn't work: the LED bar graph light is supposed to light up whenever near a device that generates EMF (Electromagnetic Filed Radiation) but doesn't. I have tried many things to overcome this situation like; tried different LED lights, tried different resistors, thicker wire.. but its simply not happening. I dont know whether I have done something wrong with circuit it self or if its the arduino application code :S

Where am I so far?

I am working on to making the EMF radiation detector but I am finding it difficult to make the LED bar graph to work :S

However, I have managed to find a link that actually shows me how to light it up so I am still working on it. 

But I managed to make the programming work on the Arduino app > 

const int ledPin =  1;      // the number of the LED pin

int ledState = LOW;             // ledState used to set the LED

long previousMillis = 0;        // will store last time LED was updated

long interval = 1000;           // interval at which to blink (milliseconds)

void setup() {

  

  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);      

}

void loop()

{

  unsigned long currentMillis = millis();

  if(currentMillis - previousMillis > interval) {

    

    previousMillis = currentMillis;   

    

    if (ledState == LOW)

      ledState = HIGH;

    else

      ledState = LOW;

    digitalWrite(ledPin, ledState);

  }

}

More disadvantages of mobile phone usage..

• Negative health effects
• Male inferitility
• The effect on children
• Increased stress level
• The effect on the environment

Dear Mobile phone, I cannot live without you as you have been the cause for me to exist. Yours sincerely, Brain tumor.

There are endless facts about the dangers caused by mobile phone radiations. 

So lets act together and say no to mobile phones!

How technology has ruined our ability to communicate!

MUST WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of the facts about mobile phones showed through graphs;

Shocking facts!

This graph highlights the amount of mobile phones used around the world;

Interesting facts about mobile phones;

Did you know?

• That up to 60% of the radiation emitted by a typical cell phone (enough to cause heating), will be absorbed by the user's head?
• The first text message was sent in 1992
• There are approximately 3.4 billion mobile phones in use
• More than 1,000 cell phones are activated each minute
• Am iphone now has more processing power than the North American Air defence Command did in 1965
• Percentage of mobile text messages in Japan are unsolicited: 80%
• Text messages contribute to 20% of operator revenues.
• On New Years Day 2004, the highest recorded daily total was reached with 111 million text messages sent
