Infra-red is electromagnetic wave energy. Like light, infra-red (radiant) energy travels at the speed of light in a straight line until it strikes an object.

In addition to the superior color rendering abilities, SoLux has been engineered to have very low heat (IR) output and ultra-low UV output. That combined aspect of extremely high color rendering and extremely low UV and low IR is extraordinary. It means that with SoLux, you will have the brilliance of daylight without the negatives aspects of UV and IR. The result is a superior presentation that won't cook or bleach the subject being illuminated. See similar questions...

It is a motion detector that uses an infra red signal. A passive infra red signal is sent out from the device, this signal bounces back to the sensor which is continually monitoring for changes in the returning signal. See similar questions...

If you search around our site, you'll find many other heater options. Infra-Red is usually the best choice for high bay open commercial structures such as service garages, aircraft hangars, warehouses, manufacturing plants, etc. However, we have other energy saving products such as our popular Rinnai Energysaver serieis direct vent wall furnaces - the best choice for condos, apartments, sunrooms, additions, etc. See similar questions...

Far Infrared Rays have nothing to do with either ultraviolet radiation (which gives you sunburn and damages your skin) or atomic radiation (the kind from a nuclear bomb.) Far Infrared Radiation is simply a form of energy that heats objects directly through a process called conversion, without having to heat the air in between. Our sun is the principal source of radiant energy that we enjoy daily (some more so than others). See similar questions...

Alcohol functions as a nervous system depressant. When alcohol is consumed, it is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream via the stomach and small intestine. The amount of alcohol consumed is directly related to the effect it has on the body. A feeling of relaxation is achieved by drinking small amounts, but in larger doses can have adverse effects including slurred speech, difficulty walking, impaired judgment and slow reaction time.

The effect produced by the applicator-roller is equal to that produced by the applicator-plate, but the result is achieved much quicker. Besides, with the roller you can reach any place of the body. It is possible to work up the whole body with the roller for 2-3 minutes: the body will "burn", you will have "needle shower" consisting of a few millions of pricks. Using the roller, it is possible to warm the whole family after supercooling in 10 minutes. See similar questions...

The results of the Specific Absorption Rate satellite phone test (SAR= power absorbed per unit mass of tissue) shows that the power of the handheld terminal with the antenna (in both the extended/deployed and retracted/stowed positions) meet the European satellite phone and IEEE/ANSI standards--even for Satellite Mode (GEM) on 9.6 kbps data mode.

Several studies have been done to assess the effects of microgravity on the human body with the goal of preventing muscle atrophy and a decrease in bone density that is common among astronauts. In space, bone density tends to decrease as the bone mineral turn-over rate decreases, and this results in a greater chance for broken bones upon return to Earth. Similarly, muscles undergo weakening in a microgravity environment. See similar questions...

Infra-red energy is electro-magnetic energy that is not visible. It is next to red in the light wavelength spectrum. It travels at the speed of light (186,000 miles per second), until it hits a surface (like your home). This stopping of the energy source excites the molecules in the wall which starts to conduct the heat towards inside (during the summer). When infra-red energy is traveling through air, a very small portion of the energy is absorbed by molecules in the air. See similar questions...

A gas fired infra-red tube heater or high intensity heater (normally ceiling suspended) emulates that warmth of the sun by generating radiant energy that converts to useable heat when absorbed by objects in its path. In buildings, objects such as floors, tools and machninery absorb the infra-red radiant energy. This creates a "heat sink" where warmth is stored and re-radiated to warm the surrounding air.

Yes. It is not unusual to generate fuel savings of 40% or more compared to forced air heating methods such as unit heaters. In high bay structures, forced air heaters are impractical because warm convective air rises to the ceiling, leaving floors relatively cold. In fact, warm air must stratify from the ceiling downward to keep people warm at the floor level. Consequently, building owners find that their forced air heaters run almost continually, only to find an outrageous monthly fuel bill. See similar questions...

Yes. Every infra-red heater manufacturer will say different things about why they feel their product is the best. You may need to sift through the garbage to find out for yourself what makes one appliance brand better than another. Most high intensity infra-red heater brands have few differences in performance. The same cannot be said for infra-red radiant tube heaters. See similar questions...

These are really 'Heat Treatment Cabins' - and probably shouldn't called Saunas, as the experience of using one is quite unlike the traditional Sauna. Infra-red cabins offer simple installation with short heat-up times; we offer a range of five models, all at highly attractive prices - please click here to see them! See similar questions...

When Carbon Monoxide (CO) is inhaled, it combines with hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin carries the oxygen to every part of the body. The reaction of CO with hemoglobin causes the body's oxygen delivery to be greatly disturbed, leading to reduced oxygen to all parts of the body, commonly called oxygen starvation. From the FAA's Advisory Circular (AC 20-32B), "Oxygen starvation of the brain reduces a person's ability to reason and make decisions. See similar questions...

To avoid injury, you should only go as far as you feel able to. Although the teachers will encourage you to go further, you are the only person who knows what it feels like to be in your body. So in a way you are your own best teacher. See similar questions...

Infrared energy is not only safe, but highly beneficial for our bodies. Far Infrared lamps actively used for medical treatments by doctors, Chiropractors, Acupuncturists, physical therapists, massage therapists for: arthritis, joints pain, stiff muscles, injuries to tendons and ligaments to promoting faster self body healing effect.
