Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from cars are a real phenomenon, though their intensity and potential health impact depend on the vehicle type, technology used, and proximity to EMF-emitting components.
Irrespective of vehicle type EMFs are also created by Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and all the electrical cabling.
Research is ongoing, especially with the rise of 5G, connected cars, and wireless charging technologies, all of which may introduce new EMF sources.
We have a solution for all kinds of vehicles.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BRAIN WHEN DRIVING
Watch this fascinating video to see the physical effects on the body and brain whilst driving in a car. All the more interesting as the car has a combustion engine and the effects will be magnified for hybrid and electric vehicles.
It is from a German news channel but has English subtitiles.
You can also read our study, which examined what happens to our blood whilst driving an electric vehicle, with and without our E-Car product.
Sources of EMFs by engine type are listed below.
1. COMBUSTION ENGINE VEHICLES
- Alternator: Generates electricity, producing low-frequency EMFs.
- Ignition System: Spark plugs and coils emit brief high-voltage EMFs.
- Wiring & Electronics: Power windows, seat motors, and dashboard systems create small EMFs.
2. HYBRID VEHICLES
- Contain both an internal combustion engine and electric motors.
- Higher EMFs than traditional vehicles, especially during acceleration or regenerative braking.
3. ELECTRIC VEHICLES (EV'S)
- Highest EMFs among car types due to large batteries, inverters, and electric motors.
- Major EMF sources:
- Battery packs (usually located under the floor).
- Inverters and converters (change DC to AC and regulate power).
- Drive motors and high-voltage cables.
We live surrounded by forces we cannot see — from electromagnetic fields to airborne pollutants and digital frequencies. Though invisible, these influences can have a real impact on our bodies and minds.
