[SEL] ICD Device Question

[MaytagTwin at aol.com]

Hi Jim,
Keep in mine there are a wealth of engines out there that have ignition  
methods that do not involve electricity or magnetic fields.  Diesels  and hot tube 
come to mind.  You can also go into steam and  Sterling.  
 
You might ask about what level of shielding would render a spark ignition  
system safe. If you are running a low tension ignition, I would think  
substituting RG50 coax cable and grounding the shield to the engine would stop  any 
radio frequency emissions.  I have some of that cable I can send  you if you want 
to experiment.

I may  have to have an ICD installed, this is an Implantable  
Cardioverter-Defribulator which is a little like a pacemaker. These are  
installed about the same and are in a similar package except that the  
function is different.  What little I have been able to find out says  you 
should not be near a magnetic field or a running engine.  That is  pretty 
vague, does anybody have one of these that can help me out with  better 
information?
