Shawn
Carlson’s column in the May issue of Scientific American, 1996 described how to build a
magnetometer with hand tools, wire, and a rebar core. Objective of the magnetometer project described in
the article was detection of
ELF, or Extra Low Frequency electromagnetic waves from about 0.1 Hertz to
about 20 Hertz.
A successfully built magnetometer would be able to discern the Schumann resonance at about 7.8 and 14 Hertz, when combined with spectral analysis of the data.
A representation of the Schumann phenomena as it would appear with spectral analysis was included in the article.
When
I read this article, I already had spent several years of part time research
on this particular phenomena. Dr. Jack Dea, whose experiments I had read
about in this research, was cited as a technical contributor.
I called Shawn within minutes of finishing the article, and he signed
me up with the project before we finished the conversation.
Six
years later, I’m still plugging away, trying to keep the vision alive and
well. I just wish I could say
there has been more and speedier progress.
