Tools and Hardware Reviews of Trifield 100XE EMF Meter
Customer Review: Just a Cheap meter for electromagnetic fields
Summary: 2 Stars
This is just a very cheap version of a field strength meter for detecting Electromagnetic fields. That is what EMF stands for. I have had one of these for over 20 years and this meter is at the bottom end of the scale. I laugh when I see these ghostbusters using these meters to impress people. It is nothing more than a toy which is now overpriced and does not read nuke radiation.
Here is how that works (in basic lay terms):
All electrical devices produce electromagnetic fields when they are powered on and pulling electrical current. The meter registers how strong the EM field is for such devices. The more current the device uses... the higher it will register on the meter. Things like microwave ovens, toasters, high voltage power lines, TV tube type sets... anything that pulls a lot of power will register high. This meter does NOT read radiation (which comes in many forms). It will not read alpha, beta or gamma ionizing radiation such as from nuclear sources. It will not read RF (radio frequency... such as microwaves). What it is reading from your microwave oven is the Electromagnetic field produced by the electrical current and power transformer in your microwave. It reads the strength of electrical fields. Nothing else.
The reason the meter will register at walls and various areas of the house, is because it is reading the Electrical wiring in the walls which has AC current flowing through them. These are not ghosts in the walls despite what these [...]might have you believe. It is reading the fields from electrical power being pulled through that location.
It is easy to test, just shut off the main AC breaker to your house. Shut all of your power off and then you can see how those so called "Hot spots" will disappear. The meter only registers electrical fields... despite what these goofy people might have you believe.
Some sections of electrical wiring in your walls will register higher because anytime the wiring is compressed, it will cause heating at that point. This is often caused by the AC wiring being compressed by the Staples used to fasten the AC wiring to the wood framing inside the walls. This heating from compression often causes destruction of the insulation on the wiring... but it is not a ghost. You may also be reading a point where more than one electrical wire converge.
This is not a statement as to the existence of ghosts... but this is a statement about this meter and what it can and cannot read. It may be exciting to see the meter fluctuate at a wall, but it is nothing more than electrical current you are reading in the wiring at that particular point in the wall. As I said, shut off all the power to the house with the main breaker and you will see how it will go away. However, keep in mind, if you are dealing with a crook who is trying to make you believe they have a magic way of detecting spirits with a cheap field strength meter... they are also capable of using tricks to fool you by using little devices hidden in your home or in their pocket... to set off the meter.
You should also know that those polaroid films can be multiple exposed with various images. They can be exposed more than once. My father used to do multiple image exposures on those as a hobby. He could expose more than 4 separate images on a polaroid film. A unique feature of polaroid film. You can also expose images on "sealed" film still in a package. So if someone uses a polaroid and shows you some "image" on the photo which wasn't there in the room, it is quite likely the image was preexposed by the person associated with the film and camera.
Either way, just know that this meter only detects electrical fields. The more current the appliance pulls and the larger the power transformer, the higher it will register. This particular meter is the cheapest, bottom of the barrel meter you can buy... but a great toy for lay people who have no familiarity with electrical fields.
Description of Trifield 100XE EMF Meter
The Trifield ® Meter is a gaussmeter, electric field meter, radio field strength meter in a single until. When measuring electromagnetic fields (EMF's), the primary concern is usually magnetic fields, which can be tricky to measure. If a less sophisticated 1-axis gaussmeter is used, a reading of zero could result even where the field is strong. A 1-axis meter must be oriented correctly to measure the field (which is a vector). The 3-axis Trifield Meter solves that problem by measuring the true strength of the field regardless of which way it is oriented. Therefore, the Trifield Meter can be scanned rapidly across an area without having to stop at each point to search for the orientation that gives a maximum reading. Another section of the meter detects AC electric fields, which can exist independently of AC magnetic field. The third section detects radio/microwave, such as from a leaky microwave oven.Tools & Testers
