Debunking ‘Linus Tech Tips' | Misconceptions about Aires Devices

Aires has gained significant attention lately as celebrities, health experts, and professional athletes have shared their experiences with their Aires Lifetune devices. The innovative approach behind this technology addresses the biological effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) instead of claiming to “block” signals like many products out there, which sets Aires apart in the field of EMF protection.

However, this attention has also sparked misconceptions fueled by misunderstandings, particularly within the tech community. Skepticism is a healthy and necessary part of technological discussion, but it’s important to address these claims with accurate information. 

A recent video by Linus Tech Tips questioned the effectiveness and scientific basis of Aires products. Although his setup and production were undeniably impressive and convincing, his testing methods were fundamentally flawed.

In the interest of fostering an open and productive dialogue, we have reached out to Linus Sebastian to help clear up any misunderstandings about our technology and research.

We have extended an invitation to Linus, his team, and his audience to witness live demonstrations of our technology in action. These demonstrations would showcase the physiological responses to EMFs with and without our products, a capability we have repeatedly validated over decades of testing.

Consider this article an additional formal invitation to Linus and his team. We believe in the transparency and scientific grounding of our technology and welcome the opportunity to demonstrate this to Linus’ audience in a clear and compelling way.

Our hope is that Linus accepts our offer so we can collaboratively address any misconceptions and highlight the rigorous science that underpins Aires’ innovative solutions.

Until then, let’s examine his claims to clarify the purpose of Aires devices, their capabilities, and the years of research and testing behind their development. This will help provide a better understanding of how the Lifetune devices contribute to wellness in our modern world.

Testing an Aires device using RF meters and spectrum analyzers led to the conclusion that the products do not block or reduce radiofrequency (RF) signal intensity.

Aires devices are not designed to block RF signals, and for good reason. Blocking RF would interfere with device functionality, rendering our phones and Wi-Fi devices useless. Instead, Aires uses modulation to alter the waveform structure of EMFs to reduce their biological impact without changing their intensity. 

RF meters measure the strength or intensity of electromagnetic radiation, but they cannot detect changes in the structure of electromagnetic waves. Since Aires devices reorganize EMFs into less biologically disruptive patterns, biological tests such as EEGs or oxidative stress markers are a better way to evaluate their effectiveness.

Research, such as the 2015 Nature article on low-intensity RF radiation, has shown that polarized, pulsed EMFs can cause oxidative stress in biological systems. Aires' fractal-based resonator reduces polarization and reorganizes EMFs into forms that are less disruptive to the body.

Independent EEG studies on Aires technology show changes in neural activity when the device is used, indicating reduced biological stress from EMFs.

Aires’ descriptions of concepts such as fractal resonance and diffraction interacting with EMFs were criticized as “technobabble” meant to confuse consumers.

These concepts may sound complex, but they aren’t buzzwords – they are well-established principles in physics and engineering. In Aires’ devices, the fractal geometry is integral to reshaping EMFs into a modulated output. The diffraction and interference principles in the silicon resonator reorganize polarized EMFs into a form that is less disruptive to biological systems.

Scientific studies often use technical terms that are difficult to interpret without a background in the field. However, these terms are necessary for accurately describing the methods and findings.

For example, terms like “Fourier transforms” and “coherent radiation” are standard in physics and mathematics to describe the transformation of waveforms and signal alignment. They sound complex, but they are both precise and meaningful within the context of EMF modulation.

Linus Tech Tips argues that Aires products lack credible evidence of effectiveness.

As a publicly traded company with nearly three decades of research, Aires is guided by two steadfast principles: innovation and transparency. To make the core scientific principles that Aires' technology is built on more accessible, we created the Inside Aires series to help everyone better understand the terminology and concepts behind this technology and research. By demystifying these principles, we aim to clarify how Aires stands apart.

Aires has conducted multiple independent, peer-reviewed studies, many of which focus on specific, measurable biological markers:

•  EEG (Electroencephalogram) Testing: Demonstrates reduced neural hyperactivity under EMF exposure when Aires products are used.
• Oxidative Stress Studies: Shows a reduction in oxidative stress markers, which are linked to long-term health effects.
• HRV (Heart Rave Variability) Tests: Indicates decreased physiological stress responses when Aires technology is present.
  

In this recent video, it is suggested that Aires’ patents lack credibility because they are design-based and filed in Russia.

Aires holds both industrial design and utility patents. The design patents protect the physical and structural layout of the resonator, while the utility patents cover the unique application of diffraction and fractal resonance to EMFs.

Patents are filed based on regional strategies and market considerations. Russian patents are still internationally recognized under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) system. Aires’ 22 patents demonstrate significant innovation and investment in research, with the core technology protected worldwide.

The passive design of the silicon resonator was criticized as "underwhelming" and "overpriced."

The fractal design of the silicon resonator interacts with EMFs through diffraction, resonance, and interference. Its passive operation relies on the energy from incoming EMFs, eliminating the need for separate external power sources. Materials like silicon and gold are specifically chosen for their excellent conductivity and stability, making them ideal for modulating EMFs.

The price of Aires devices reflect not only the materials, but the decades of research, independent testing, and 22 patents that validate the technology. They are designed for long-term use, offering a cost-effective solution compared to alternative approaches.

This video dismisses concerns about RF radiation as overblown and claims non-ionizing radiation is safe.

Man-made EMFs, which are polarized and pulsed, have been shown to cause oxidative stress in biological systems. This claim is well-known, studied, and published in Journals such as Nature, The Journal of Microscopy & Ultrastructure, and Frontiers in Public Health. The World Health Organization has also classified RF radiation as a Group 2B carcinogen, meaning “possibly carcinogenic to humans.”

Aires products address the disruptive characteristics of man-made EMFs, reducing their impact on biological systems without interfering with device functionality.

In a landmark case, the Environmental Health Trust and Children's Health Defense filed a lawsuit against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on July 30, 2020, challenging the FCC's failure to update its 1996 safety guidelines on radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure. The plaintiffs argued that the FCC ignored substantial scientific evidence indicating potential health risks associated with RF radiation. On August 13, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, stating that the FCC's decision was "arbitrary and capricious" and lacked a reasoned explanation for its determination that its guidelines adequately protect against harmful effects of exposure to RF radiation unrelated to cancer.

Additionally, Professor Henry Lai, Professor Emeritus at the University of Washington, has compiled summaries of research on the biological effects of exposure to radiofrequency radiation (RFR) and extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields (EMF). His analysis revealed that a significant majority of these studies reported adverse biological effects. Specifically, 70% of studies on RFR and 87% of studies on ELF EMF found significant effects, including oxidative stress, DNA damage, and neurological and reproductive impacts.

The potential health risks associated with man-made electromagnetic fields (EMFs) have been widely studied and discussed—this is not a new conversation.

In the video, a spectrum analyzer is used to measure EMF levels with and without an Aires device present, and they observed no change. This led to the conclusion that the device has no measurable effect.

Spectrum analyzers measure the frequency, amplitude, and power of electromagnetic signals. These devices work for visualizing radio frequencies and other signals and identifying changes in energy distribution or interference within a specific range.

Aires devices do not block or reduce the intensity of EMFs. Instead, they modulate the electromagnetic environment to create a biotropic field – a secondary field designed to interact with biological systems. This is why biological tests are more appropriate for evaluating the effectiveness of Aires devices.

Linus attempts to discredit Aires’ peer-reviewed studies by pointing out that many have the word "opinion" in their headers, implying they are not valid scientific research.

While this claim may seem compelling at first glance, it reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of the peer review process and its role in scientific validation. Let’s address this misconception with clarity and facts.

The inclusion of the word "opinion" on a peer-reviewed document is not a flaw or indication of lack of credibility; rather, it reflects a crucial step in the scientific validation process. Here’s how the process works:

1. Initial Research: Accredited laboratories, academic universities, or institutions conduct rigorous testing and produce a white paper detailing the experimental data and findings.

2. Scientific Review: Aires submits these white papers to an independent panel of scientists for peer review. These experts evaluate the research’s methodology, data, and conclusions to ensure accuracy and soundness.

3. Opinion Article: After completing their analysis, peer reviewers provide a document summarizing their findings. This document often uses the term "opinion" to highlight the reviewers' professional interpretation and assessment of the raw research.

4. Journal Submission: Both the original research and the peer-reviewed opinion article are submitted to academic journals for publication, ensuring transparency and public accessibility.

The presence of the word "opinion" signifies that the document is an expert’s interpretation of the research, based on rigorous evaluation. It does not undermine the scientific validity of the study but instead emphasizes the structured and credible review process.

When Aires went public with the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) in 2019, peer-reviewed research was a mandatory requirement. To be listed, Aires underwent a stringent two-year vetting process during which the CSE did their own due diligence of the company, including its research. Peer-reviewed studies were a cornerstone of this process, serving as a benchmark for scientific credibility and corporate accountability.

In April 2023, Aires achieved a significant milestone with the publication of a peer-reviewed research paper titled  “Computer Simulation of the Response of a Semiconductor Wafer with a Self-Affine Pattern in the Form of a System of Coupled Ring Grooves to Electromagnetic Radiation.” 

This study was presented at the 7th International Congress on Information and Communication Technology (ICICT) in London, UK, and subsequently published by Springer Nature Link, a globally respected academic publisher.

Innovation often invites scrutiny, and we welcome it as an opportunity to educate and engage in meaningful dialogue. Aires has spent nearly three decades pioneering solutions to address the biological effects of EMFs, guided by a steadfast commitment to science, transparency, and accountability.

While skepticism is healthy, it must be informed by accurate testing methods and a genuine understanding of the technology being evaluated. The claims raised by Linus Tech Tips stem from fundamental misunderstandings about Aires’ purpose and capabilities, which we’ve addressed here with clarity and evidence.

Our technology does not claim to block EMFs—it goes beyond that by modulating their biological impact through principles rooted in physics, mathematics, and decades of peer-reviewed research. This unique approach has been validated by independent studies focusing on measurable biological markers such as EEGs, oxidative stress, and heart rate variability.

We remain open to collaboration and invite Linus, his team, and his audience to witness live demonstrations of Aires technology. By addressing misconceptions directly, we aim to highlight the rigorous science and innovation that set Aires apart in the field of EMF protection.

Ultimately, Aires is here to empower people in a world increasingly surrounded by EMFs. Our mission is to make modern technology compatible with human wellness—something we are proud to pursue with integrity, research, and unwavering dedication.
