That is pretty sick

I wonder how they will minimize the whole 'sick building' phenomena though.

Its cool and scary at the same time. What i find interesting is tests show they only lose 25% of the energy when pushing it through the air. If energy can't be destroyed then where did it go ?

Absorbed/Conducted by surrounding organisms and materials?

That'd be bad-ass if it gave me super-powers.

It isnt destroyed it merely changes forms. It is more than likely lost as heat or charging particles in the air or both.

I wish I would have thought of this invention, I could have made a million dollars. You know the guy that invented the pet rock made a million dollars.

I should extrapolate.
In the states, apparently you guys define 'sick building syndrome' as being related to poor ventilation..

In the caribbean it refers to feeling lethargic in response to electromagnetic fields generated by having shitloads of electrical equipment in your office. Well, lethargy among other things.

I wonder how they'll negate that.

Thats easy , em fields of the low strenght that is emitted from electrical equipment have no effect on humans. In sweden we have a phenomenon called electricity allergy where alot of people are convinced they can not be close to electrical equipment or power lines. Of course its all in their head though because ever study ever done has shown its bunk. There are alot of bs about microwaves from cell phones aswell circluating here aswell.

I've read the studies.

I also know what i've experienced.

To me that'll be one of those things that we'll be back and forth about for another decade or two until science sits up and shouts "Eureka".

Just like the 'steroids don't work' assertion.

Not doubting your experience. But in a office environment there are just to many other plausible factors at play to be able to single out em fields. Lighting(especialy if its fluorescent ones), air quality etc. When it comes to EM fields there is just no know credible way they can have a impact on the body.

It would be interesting though to walk around with a gauss meter at places where people feel lethargy and compare it with the em field in their living room or computer room. Or just put 100 or so random people in a room and crank up a nice em field in it without them knowing it to se if there is a response. I remember(but cant find reference ) that some kind of study like that has been done in sweden where it was shown that those with electricity allergy can not feel the effects of electrical equipment if they dont know its around.
