Electrical Shielding for the Homeowner?

AugstWest asks: "As more research comes out showing that high voltage electricity sources can cause cancer and other health problems, I was wondering what the geeks among us could come up with for electrical shielding ideas. I've got a high-voltage transformer just off my backyard to power the train that also runs practically through my backyard, and it would be nice if I could somehow shield us from it. Of course, if the shield could also be an induction coil to sap power for my house, that wouldn't suck either..."

Easy, build one of these.
Of course, you could also cover your body with aluminium foil, that way, you'll be protected when you leave your house too!
