Does anyone know of a nonsteel belted tire for the plug-in Prius? Kevlar is what I have heard is very good and does not emit emf.
EMF? Electromagnetic Fields? Unless you are passing a current through your wheels, no magnetic fields will be generated...
I thought the same.. so I had to google it source: Radial tire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (direct source: https://prof.hti.bfh.ch/fileadmin/home/mik1/Magnfields_HPJ_revision.pdf) But even so, maybe someone smarter than me can explain to me why it would matter?
Some Kelly Tires feature Kevlar belts. Charger GT Tires | Kelly Tires Would be a Kelly tire for my Prius v.
I believe some BFGoodrich tires have Kevlar belts in them as well. Here's the question: If you rotate back to front, and then cross the two fronts when moving them to the rears, wouldn't the rotation in the opposite direction "de-EMF" the tires?
So you have a plug-in Prius and are worried about EMF from the tires? Not the battery bank, or the high voltage inverter, or the big motors?
No, you can magnetize ferromagnetic material (iron/steel) by subjecting it to a constant single direction magnetic field, but to demagnetize it you have to subject it to a gradually reducing AC generated (i.e. pole reversing) magnetic field.
That would be less dangerous than a tinfoil hat, because if you wear a tinfoil hat too tight it will cut off your circulation and make you paranoid.
Interesting reading. I learned something new. Considering that low level magnetic fields are harmful after all: Exposure To Low-level Magnetic Fields Causes DNA Damage In Rat Brain Cells, Researchers Find I will try not to drive with my head next to the wheels.
