Even if you have a thousand devices, the physical distance between them reduces the signal. And both cell phones and wifi transmit only for very short times in de-synchronised bursts, so they wouldn't all transmit at once unless you somehow forced them to. | |

| Jan 8, 2016 at 0:44 | comment | added | John | Outside of even standing waves, if I look at an image like the one linked below, I see points where the red, blue, and green waves are all positive and close to their peaks creating a combined amplitude of around 2.5 times that of any wave by itself. While I can certainly see some waves canceling out because they are negative when another is positive, with the hundreds or thousands of wireless devices saturating an area, wouldn't we still have some decent amount summing to create a much higher level of energy transmission? | |
