TOTeM confusion

[folharin]

I have built a field of tests for a year, with no results, most of the area here is moved by agriculture or other means .. what prevents the phenomenon

I don't know where to start. I've never done any work around the 65 kHz. My suggestion is to go to the Accurate Locators website and look at the AGR Receiver. Click on "Additional Information". The developer gives a description of the phenomena as he sees it. Obviously that does not match up with the TOTeM. His theory would require a transmitter frequency of around 3.7 MHz in order for a 65 kHz receiver to detect gold. And according to him, this would be too high to penetrate the ground. But what gets weird with his theory is if there is no transmitter at the needed frequency he suggests using the nearest VLF transmitter frequency for the receiver. That basically throws his theory out the window. But that is something to look into. So to follow that line, just use the TOTeM transmitter like he does with the VLF stations only it would be at 65 kHz.

Don't know much about the 80 Meter radio band, but I did a search on 3.7 MHz and found some weird stuff, among others some acoustical resonance in the atmosphere. So I guess Qiaozhi could elaborate on this one. He didn't explain very well why he chose the 65 kHz frequency for the TOTeM but I suspect this has something to do with it. Again, I've read that 3.7 MHz is too high frequency to penetrate the ground. But just using the passive receiver you might be able to detect surface targets. If you haven't read the info on the AGR Receiver, you should look at it. I think this is the same guy who worked on the Gold Gun.

As stated in the TOTeM article:
"It is claimed by certain LRL proponents that a frequency of between 60-70 kHz is ideal for long range gold detection. Consequently we have designed our PD to operate at 65kHz."

Thanks for your replay. I was hoping you would do more than just repeat what you wrote in the book. Well, beggars can't be choosers.

Seeing how we got on the phenomena tangent here, I might add that according to Konstantine Meyl, it is the first 1/6th part of the wave, the near field, where the phenomena occurs. That's not much range on an 80 meter wave.

So you can do some reading on Meyl Scalar if anyone is interested in the longitudinal waves.

Thank you Mr Mike

Thank you Mr Mike

You're welcome. Hope you find something useful for your projects. Somewhere on the internet I saw a guy build his own Meyl coils just using i think plastic coated wire to make the spiral pancake coils. Don't recall what he used at the top, but seems like a styrofoam ball covered in silver paper (aluminium foil) should work.

You asked for the reason, and that was it. Remember that the TOTeM project was inspired by the Alonso PDK, so there was no plan to deviate from the parameters used by that particular device.

[Mike(Mont)]

Okay, I see. Just like Figure 1 except the Tx coil is placed differently.

Finished the chemo treatments for now. May have to do more in a couple months. Bad news doctor said pretty sure I need more surgery. Will know when biopsies get back. No rest for the wicked.

Was doing some experiments and noticed some signal or something right around 70 kHz. Don't know what that is and it is in the USA, but noticed the original ToTEM transmit frequency was calculated at 69.5 kHz but actual results were 65 kHz. So it seems to me it might be worthwhile to adjust the TX frequency up to 70 kHz and see what happens. The article says resistor R21 can be adjusted. But no guarantees here.

Nice that you still trust in medical science before alternative.

Wish you complete recovery soon.

You know what they say about doctors--if you just leave it alone, about 85% will heal on their own. Doctors can't heal cancer, they can cut it out, that's about it. Chemo doesn't cure anything, either. But yeah, I pay them for their skill at cutting and the knowledge not to cut the wrong place. But thanks for your concern. I ain't never going to get over this until death. And I never know when they will give me the final bad news.

As for the ToTEM modification, right now I don't think it will be of much help. I don't know what that is at 70 kHz. I tried to find a transmitter but nothing there. Saw one at 68.5 and one at 72 so I don't know.

TOTeM has its own built-in transmitter.

Something wrong with this forum. Or maybe my computer. The posts are not updating.

Mr Qiaozhi the totem can it detect or react to fresh gold, or only buried ???
