Back in November I went to Green Bank. 'Outside the wire' (their fence) there really isn't much other than a few signs. Inside the fence they allow nothing but diesel vehicles, phones had to be shut off or if they couldn't they had a faraday cage for them. They do have a truck that hunts down stray RF signals. They shared w/ us that they have found broken electric tooth brushes (which they replaced for free) among the normal stuff that puts out RF. So while it's not RF 'free' (there's cell signal outside the fence area), it is RF reduced. They know of all the signals in the area and filter them out of the results. Really neat place to visit.
- Causality1 7y agoThat makes me wonder about electric vehicles, though they'd certainly disallow something like a Tesla since they constantly transmit cellular data.
- URSpider94 7y agoElectric vehicles emit large amounts of RF from their inverter circuits. If you ever have the chance, try turning on an AM radio while driving in one - you’ll get a very loud and surreal serenade.
- anticensor 7y agoOlder DC-DC based electric vehicles without inverters ought to be okay.
- kube-system 7y agoDon't DC motors have a lot of commutator noise?
- Zenst 7y agoNice article about the area: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-32758042 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-32758042 I do also recall an episode of their TV show Click (technology based news show) that covered some form of enforcement that saw a patrol that would monitor and locate (via triangulation) and radio interference - be that leaky microwaves etc. [EDIT ADD] I think I found the episode of Click in question, though it appear unavailable https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08450vk https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08450vk
