Tune in to Electrosmog
The debate concerning the possible harmful effects of electrical and magnetic alternating fields in our environment goes on. The only thing that everyone seems to agree on is that you cannot see or smell these fields. No longer true! Build this simple electrosmog detector and add two extra senses to the five that you already have.
