Transformers have a flux channel made of iron which attempts to keep all the flux inside, but some escapes. Also they typically have shielding to prevent flux leakage. But they still leak a fair amount of flux. The blanket has no iron core or shielding to prevent the flux from extending far outside the blanket. The reason for the computer interfering with radio is that it is running at high frequencies with square waves that produce a lot of harmonics, extending into the hundreds of megahertz. The blanket will only be generating 60 hz, which should be rejected by the RF and IF sections of the receiver. > Since the current of the blanket is small, and the exposure time very > intermittant, > I wonder if the actual harm (if it's indeed harmful) isn't minimal vs being > cold.

If the two wires are kept together and twisted, like twinline, then there is a great deal of cancellation. But if if the wire starts in the center and loops outward in ever increasing diameter spiral, a lot of flux will be generated.

As far as the ground water, and other things, the easiest way to deal with them is to dowse for them. Check the archives, this was discussed earlier at some length. Don't sleep on any energy lines, negative or positive. I found one running through my wife's side of the bed about 3 months ago and moved the bed less than a foot so it is off the edge, and she went from very bad insomnia for over 5 years to sleeping like a kitten immediately.
