Can people transmit signals that interfere with electronics?

Answer 1

The short answer is no. People cannot transmit signals that interfere with _conventional_ electronics (TVs, radios, microwave ovens, etc). Let's ignore for a moment that you can ruin a TV by peeing into it: yes, you "transmitted a signal" (Hey, I'm on crack!), and yes, it will interfere with the electronics, but only at tremendous peril to your person(al parts). I assume we're talking "signal" in a conventional electromagnetic sense.

People can, however, re-radiate (i.e., "scatter") existing signals off their bodies, or they can serve as a conductive path (part of an antenna or ground), and in that sense, they _can_ interfere with electronics, or more specifically they can interfere with the electronics' reception of a signal that did not originate from them.

A previous respondent noted that if you grab the rabbit ears of an old TV, your body will now serve as part of the antenna and you will change the TV's reception (more often than not for the better).

But you don't have to touch the antenna to have influence. Sometimes all you have to do is stand next to the TV or radio; some of the incoming signal will scatter off your body and get picked up by the antenna a little differently than it would if you were not around. Sometimes the reception is better, sometimes it's worse, sometimes it depends on where you stand relative to the receiver.

Answer 2

If by people you mean a single person's action, no. A person generates a small amount of thermal and electrical energy and if anything it can assist in transmission of electronic signals. For example if you pulled your free to air TV aerial from the wall and left it on the floor you would get little or no reception. Hold onto the metallic plug and the reception will improve and this is because of our bio-chemical make up.

Answer 3

Of course they can. This is why there are FCC regulations against it. Most electronics must not interfere with communication equipment, and also must accept any interferrence by other higher class communication equipment. Look around a stereo, boombox, or cd walkman. There should be a sticker stating the FCC classification and/or a brief description of the regulations mandated on it.

Answer 4

Biologically? Humans can emit low power electromagnetic waves but it requires sensitive instrumentation even to detect it.

Almost all commercial and consumer electronics is required to pass certain tests not to emit or be sensitive to electromagnetic waves below a certain power.

IF there is someone that can interfere with modern electronics, the Pentagon would like to interview them.

Answer 5

I would think that everyone transmit there own signals, like finger prints. unique, and different to others......and with the right "scan" can be identified and tagged with "SS".....to facilitate future people of interest. like the police, would like to speak too. or others that needed to questioned......I know you think this is "out there". But there is so much you have no idea of......sorry......maybe too much too soon....

Answer 6

every living thing got electricity running in its body , static electricity , some organisms know how to develop the basic voltage , like Eel etc , and there are cases some humans also does have these kinda abilities ...

Answer 7

THE SUBJECT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT IS KNOWN AS "METAPHYSICS"
IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE DEATH
