Research into Detection of Natural Ultra Low Frequency Phenomena By Peter Newton and Tony Devencenzi
What follows are some of the
experiments we have carried out in detection of naturally occuring ultra low
frequency phenomena, over the past year. Tony lives in
In general, the purpose of the tests
was to detect naturally occuring ultra low frequency electrical and magnetic
phenomena. We also wanted to see the effect our geographical positions had on
the events we detected.
We each have built identical
apparatus, consisting of a sensor circuit, a Velleman VM-110 USB, analog to
digital converter and our PC's running Abacom RealView 3.0 chart recording
software.
Some of our sensors were based on
earlier designs described on the home page of this site, but were improved and
enhanced by our colaborative work during the past year. Additionally, the
Op-Amp Sensor and the Caduceus Coil Sensor, are of new design. Below is a
simple description of the sensors used in this series of tests.
General: The sensors consist of a
sensor element, a conditioning amplifier and a Velleman VM-110 Analog to
Digital converter / USB interface, to connect to a personal computer. The PC is
running Abacom RealView chart recorder software.
In addition to the identical
Velleman VM-110 setups used by both Tony and Peter, in some tests, Peter also
used a Dataq Analog to digital converter with USB interface. This device comes
with its own chart recorder software called Windaq. Some of these charts are
also included with the test result images below.
The Op-Amp Sensor: This sensor
consists of a J-FET Op-Amp IC chip, with a high gain inverting feedback and
open (not connected) inputs. There is a secondary amplifier stage, with a
single stage diode, resistor and filter-capacitor integrator circuit. The
sensor also uses a third amplifier that is part of the Velleman VM-110 USB
interface board, for additional Gain. This sensor is enclosed in a shielded
steel case. This circuit is not operating in self-oscillation, but its output
is the product of a natural daily cycle. For lack of a better explanation, it
is believed that the phenomenon is reacting to, is scalar energy.
The E-Field Sensor: The detector
element, is a simple short telescoping antenna 30 to 60 inches long. There is a
0.1 uF capacitor to ground, at the output of the antenna, to provide a low
resonant frequency and to bypass any RF energy detected. The amplifier is very similar
to the one described in the Op-Amp sensor. Lastly, a dual stage integrator
circuit, integrates the electric activity into a varying DC voltage. This
sensor circuit (except for the Antenna) is enclosed in a shielded steel case.
The Electrolytic Capacitor Sensor:
(Also called the Hodowanec Effect Sensor, after Gregory Hodowanec who first
discovered the ULF sensing capabilities of capacitors). Similar in construction
to the E-Field Sensor, but with a large electrolytic capacitor in place of the
antenna, as the detecting element. The capacitor functions as a detector and
generates a small ultra low frequency voltage, in reaction to the naturally
changing Scalar / Electric ULF field. The detector's amplifier stage functions
the same as the Op-Amp detector amplifier, described above. This sensor circuit
is also enclosed in a shielded steel case.
The Aether-Magnetic Sensor: This
sensor has three detecting or enhancing stages.
First, a Barkhausen detector.
consisting of several hundred turns of copper wire wound around a steel plate
type lamination core assembly, common to transformers and power inductors. When
exposed to ultra low frequency changing magnetic fields, atomic level
Barkhausen domains in the core, generate pulses that are induced into the copper
winding.
Second, a 1000 uF electrolytic
capacitor is connected in series with the coil. This capacitor functions not
just as a DC blocking element, but also as a detector that generates a small
ultra low frequency voltage, in reaction to the naturally changing ULF field.
This places a continually changing bias on the Barkhausen coil, which has the
effect of making it more sensitive to magnetic activity.
Third, the amplifier itself, like
that described in the Op-Amp Sensor, above, is modulated by the naturally
occuring scalar energy. This serves to further enhance sensitivity, beyond
simple amplifier gain. Lastly, a dual stage integrator circuit, integrates the
Barkhausen pulses into a varying DC voltage. This sensor is enclosed in a
shielded steel case.
The Caduceus Coil Sensor: The
original Caduceus coil detector was invented by our late colleague, Brian
Sallur, of Western Australia Radio Observatory, to detect magnetic energies
from the Sun and Stars, as a tool for astronomy. A Caduceus coil, is a coil wound
back on itself,on a plastic tube form, with 'cross-over' points. This coil has
a self-cancelling inductance. In this application, we are using a shielded
multi-layer Caduceus Coil, to detect mainly changing magnetic field of the
Earth and Sun. The circuit is similar to the Aether-Magnetic Sensor described
above, except for the coil itself, which does not use the Barkhausen effect or
a metal core. Here, the coil's 'cross-over' points themselves, are the sensing
elements.
Types of Activity Detected:
Man Made. Local. Both electric and
magnetic activity.
Solar. Relative to our geographical
positions with respect to the Sun. Mainly magnetic activity.
Stellar. Relative to our
geographical positions with respect to the constellations. Magnetic activity.
Lightning. Global. Lightning strikes
create pulses that travel in the Schumann Corridor.
This is the space between the
conductive Ionosphere and the surface of the Earth, at the speed of light.
Mainly electric but also magnetic activity.
Unknown. Global. Magnetic or
Electric activity that is detected simultaneously, without respect to our
geographical positions.
Below are the most interesting of
the tests we have performed so far and the conclusions we have drawn from them.
