ok. :)

any serious?

i think there are relative strong em-fields among the antennas.

I notice you have also posted at

With something as serious as a pacemaker I would get definitive medical
advice to be on the safe side rather than shopping around on the Internet
for the answer you want - sorry to sound harsh but unless you can make
contact with a *real* in the flesh Pacemaker technician who also understands
the circuitry of a Theremin, and they would vary from one maker to another,
I would play it on the safe side.

As you know a Theremin is basically two or more tuned rf oscillators that
have their frequency and amplitude varied by varying the
capacitive coupling via the hands -
http://www.physics.gla.ac.uk/~kskeldon/PubSci/exhibits/E9/ it all depends
on if those frequencies are likely either as the actual frequencies or beat
frequencies (sum and difference ) and there is sufficient power to radiate
into the pacemaker. Too many variables for anyone to give worthwhile advice.
The fields btw are RF.

So a tuned heterodyne transistor radio can be imagined as one part of the
circuitry - do transistor radio's or laptops cause problems? I don't know -
ask a technician at a hospital that fits them.

cheers
