Have a nice weekend
So that got me thinking even more and I decided to revisit that cancer cluster in children in Clyde, Ohio which was blamed on Whirpool Park. Now everyone wants to blame us chemical engineers for all of this cancer stuff because we design most of the industrial plants that make most of the chemicals in the first place. Some of my readers will remember that I thought the cancer cluster was related to the town installing some microwave relay towers as the centerpiece of downtown, which I still don’t believe is a good idea.
But it is a fact that almost all kids play at the park in the Summer and many of the cancers originated close to or around the park, so I thought I would take another look and here is what I found.
If that is a plastic slide then it is a large voltage generator – Up to 20,000 volts or more with each slide. Could exceed IEC 60065 (for electronics) guideline for static electricity safety.
Mommy said never charge up your kid with electricity and then discharge them over and over.
Mommy said never put a voltage source near water…P.S. the water in a waterslide may help protect the slidee from the electron deficit due to less friction, but it also makes skin more conductive.
“Static electricity occurs when a “positive” material sheds electrons by rubbing a “negative” material that attracts them. Good static-producing combinations include wool and PVC plastic, hair and rubber, and skin and polyester. Cotton, paper and steel are neutral.
The resulting charge on both objects can dissipate slowly in humid air, or cause a shock if it touches something that is grounded, such as a person, a car — or the metal pole that Morley had his daughters touch after each slide.
The type of clothes and length of the slide didn’t matter much. But humidity did. In the cold, dry air of winter, Morley’s daughters achieved charges of about 10,000 volts. Morley says that in the dry air of Tucson, Ariz., a colleague measured 20,000 volts after a slide. [20 kV]“
IEC 60065 states that consumer products cannot discharge more than 350 mJ into a person. I estimate just a few round trips on those slides could be enough to exceed IEC 60065.
IEC 60065 Edition 8.0 2014-06 Audio, video and similar electronic apparatus (Playground Slide??) – INTERNATIONAL STANDARD
9.1.1.2 Determination of HAZARDOUS LIVE parts
d) the energy of discharge exceeds 350 mJ for stored charges at voltages exceeding
15 kV d.c. page 54
My Motto is: Don’t shock your kids and keep your electrons to yourself…
If my hypothesis about the artificial turf happens to be correct and repeated static electricity charging and discharging can cause increased cancers such as leukemia and lymphomas in athletes sliding on artificial turf, then what about those plastic slides and rubber turf in the playgrounds? It seems those should create a lot of static electrical charge (Voltage) also and also a lot of repeated electromagnetic insult to a child climbing up and sliding down them. So I started looking around, which took me to this:
And if you use the same calculations I used in my research paper on artificial turf, you will easily see that if this slide were a toaster, then it would probably fail IEC 60065 , which states that consumer products cannot discharge more than 350 mJ @ 15 kV into a person. So just think of that child spending weeks at the playground and going down that slide hundreds of times and getting mildly shocked each time, charging up and discharging like a capacitor.
So I decided to look at this childhood cancer cluster:
Suspected Hudson Valley Cancer Cluster: Still No Answers
And I noticed this:
“the cases were all found within the same 4 mile radius near New Paltz Road in Highland”, so I took a look:
And I noticed a park with a playground that all little kids hang out at, so I took a closer look
And I saw one of those newfangled polyplasticsomethingorother slides and metal rails and bark on the ground. So I took a closer look:
And now it made a lot of sense, at least to me… And if it were me, I would get one of them there electrostatic field meter gizmos and see how much voltage I was charging/discharging into my human capacitor child with each trip up/down that playset. And if it were a real big number I might tie one of those big yellow warning tapes around that playset, or maybe a red one, or maybe blow it up, I’m really not sure yet…
Here are a few more kids getting shocked and exceeding IEC 60065.

Electron Exchange to/from child/slide and child/earth and child/atmosphere causes more disease/illness in child
Just a thought I had that I wanted to share.
Actual static charge increase will vary with Ambient & Turf Conditions such as: Type of plastic, type of rubber, humidity, type of jersey, oily, sweaty skin contact, length of time before last contact with turf, etc. Results may vary, please see government for details
Thousands sign petition to renew search for Fort Detrick cancer cluster
“Cancer took Linda Longenecker’s son and her father. It took Bruce Linton’s wife. And both of Valiree Stine’s parents. They all lived near Fort Detrick. Despite two state investigations that didn’t find a cancer cluster, years of failed lawsuits and denied claims, families — the Lintons, the Longeneckers, the Stines and many more — can’t shake the feeling that there’s more to the story.More than 5,600 people have signed a Change.org petition that asks Maryland’s U.S. senators to take another look at a possible cancer cluster near Fort Detrick.The petition was created about a month ago by Randy White, who leads the Kristen Renee Foundation. In the petition, White asks U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin, U.S. Sen. Barbara Mikulski, Secretary of the Army Eric Fanning and the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, U.S. Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-Texas), to “clean the chemical repositories at Fort Detrick and compensate the affected.”White’s daughter, Frederick resident Kristen Renee White Hernandez, died of brain cancer at age 30 in 2008.”
Three extremely high power/high gain satellite communications antennas just inside the fence at Ft. Detrick
All microwave antennas undergo anomalous propagation (anaprop) and the radiation beam can refract/duct to the ground
If only 1% of the power from one of those antenna beams refracts to the ground it exceeds FCC safe guideline of 10 watts/ sq meter power density
View from Opossumtown Pike Rd. Antennas are only 1000 ft from road, which is less than the FAA safe distance for a pulsed radar of the same average power and gain.
But while you wait, here is a summary of my research so far.
- Earth may not be round but local spacetime appears to be.
- Our weather is mostly braneshowers and braneflurries
- Our wireless revolution is dissolving Florida, one sinkhole at a time.
- Military, NOAA’s and Cousteau’s ship radars are dissolving our coral reefs
- It appears we are microwaving Florida’s orange crop and attracting bugs
- The oil and gas industry is blowing up Oklahoma and California
- Radars cannot cause earthquakes but they can detonate natural gas pockets underground which can cause earthquakes.
- We are shocking the whales and all marine life near the surface and seafloor of the ocean near all of our high gain antennas.
- Our wireless revolution is oxidizing and dissolving our children. Electronic warfare works even better!
- We can keep all of our electromagnetic radiation and reduce breast cancer if more women will just cut their breasts off.
- War & Disease are key drivers of our economy so Rock On Dudes!
