This is true! But it always depends on the dose you are exposed to. Some MRTs work with such high dose you have to increase and decrease it very very slowly because you really could harm (even kill) your patient. It is not harmless at all, but considered safe because of the safety mechanisms build in.
BUT MRT is high dose in little time and this WiTricity is (whatever dose) every time.
iPhysicist, you should quote which part of the MRT is dangerous and qualify what aspect of it causes harm. Magnetic field strength? Electromagnetic Energy absorption? Peripheral Nerve Stimulation? etc...
A bit of a blanket statement if you ask me; which serves only to cause fear rather than an educated caution.
If you're going to write about the dangers of MRT you should write this:
The main risks involved are those patients with ferrite contamination in fragments or with implants with ferromagnetic composition - in the presence of such strong fields, it would rip out of the patient like a missile. Such devices are 'contraindicated' and as such, they should not be scanned with MRT. There isn't a shred of evidence that any biological material is affected even in strong static fields.
Again, another uneducated post. You idiots are like politicians; quote out-of-context, use statements which tender single-sided arguments.
Your point about exposure 'high dose in small time' doesn't correlate with 'low dose over a long time'. As another poster said, the earth is a magnet. Even though it's small, no more than a bar magnet, the field is enormous. It encompasses the earth and out into space, PROTECTING us from harmful solar radiation. But we sit in the middle of it, over our entire lives, over generations; we're like ants being bathed in this electromagnetic soup.
i--Physicist? I think not.
Some people are being so alarmist about such topics; especially when some twit here talks about taking an "Amish" approach; yet contradicts himself by the mere fact of writing it, in front of a computer, aiming electromagnetic energy straight at his head from the monitor he sits in front of.
Good grief... they should take off the tin foil helmet when they walk across the street; they might not see the car that would run them down.
