Magnetic Implant Sensitivity
Hi all I was just curious to see how sensitive everyone's implants were - what electromagnetic fields they could pick up with them.
Vaguely people have mentioned very broadly varied reports of sensitivity from can openers to electric cars driving by, so I'm curious what are somethings you guys can actually feel and from how far away. Be sure to mention what magnet you have, where, and how long you've had it.
I'll start.
I have a parylene coated cylinder in my left ring finger, have had it for about three months.
Here's what I can feel:
-Most things with a motor at about an inch or two away: shredder, blender, computer fans (these i have to be a bit closer to)
-Some but not most wall wart transformers, from as much as 6 inches away in some cases (I assume most have some shielding so I don't feel anythign from them)
-Microwave oven while operating from 6+ inches away
-Unshielded bench DC powersupply from about 2-3 inches away
-Main house circuit breakers from <1 inch away (and can distinguish which have more current going through them)
-Power wires for high current draw devices from an inch or so: Air conditioning, dryer, heavy duty blender, etc
-Very specific parts of large club speakers from about 1-2 inch away.. presumably i feel the internal subwoofer coil... but i only feel it on one side of the speaker.
I'm sure there's some other things but that's the gist of it

I can feel things like computer fans and hard drives from a 1-3 cm.
some things like ac/dc power supply converters and my washing machine control panel from 1-5 cm.
idle microwaves from 3-5 cm
active microwaves from 5-30 cm depending on the model
electric motors in vehicles from up to 1 meter away
I have never felt anything from an active wire of any sort.
My computer power cable - nothing
The power cable to 6 monitors - at about 2-3mm away
Power cable to my 1500 Watt blender - yes
When you say idle you mean not doing anything at all? interesting I wouldn't have expected a noticeable signal from that
Interestingly, I've noticed that the more powerful microwaves tend to output less noticeable fields, I assume this is because they cost more, and so have better shielding.
