Abstract

Abstract

Overview

With the increasing use of smartphones, the potential effects of phone radiation on human health have garnered considerable attention. It is critical to mitigate the impact of magnetic fields emanating from mobile phones.

Methodology

This study employs TRIZ theory to develop prototypes aimed at reducing the harmful effects of magnetic fields produced by smartphones. The interaction between the human body and these fields is explored, emphasizing the importance of distance in minimizing exposure.

Findings

  • The relationship between the proximity of the phone to the human body and radiation intensity is inversely proportional. Increasing the distance reduces the radiation exposure.
  • Three innovative prototypes were designed and tested under different conditions:
    1. During a phone conversation using WhatsApp, where the prototype reduces 100% of the radiation.
    2. When the phone is in standby mode with various connectivity features activated, achieving a 90% reduction in radiation.

Conclusion

Prototypes developed using TRIZ theory prove effective in decreasing the magnetic field impact from smartphones, offering a significant protective measure against phone radiation.
