Comment on Belly Armor: tinfoil hats for the expectant mother

Comments

Given that they are not specific about what materials they use I can't help but wonder if they are just selling expensive organic cotton clothes labeled as baby protection.

My thoughts exactly.

How do Belly Armor products work? Without getting too deep into the details...

Indulge me, go into the details.

I was even more amused by the nonsensical explanation they give after that phrase. Apparently their Faraday cage blanket works "similar to how noise canceling headphones work with sound waves or how a grounding wire neutralizes an electric current."

So apparently their Farady cages work like two completely different physical phenomena, neither of which is anything like a Faraday cage. I'm also amused by the fact that if it really works like noise cancelling headphones, belly armor actually emits radiation!

This press release says their "RadiaShield Technology" is silver. So at least it does what it says, even if what it says it does is ridiculous. http://www.prweb.com/releases/2010/09/prweb4511834.htm
