What do you think it is?

Jim, what do you think it is? Dell

Jim, what do you think it is? Dell

Nothing dangerous Dell, only useless (to find treasure) toys for adults.


copy - paste:

"Since Bill Andrews died, I have been permitted to see his charts. The wreck is cited there at the same location as well. I am fairly confident that Frank got his info from Bill Andrews. I personally do not believe that he would have lost the location of any wreck that was throwing up bronze guns. Maybe, but probably not."

Black box secret:



"Inside is a giant cockroach with what looks like dowsing rods! It seems the rods are magnetized and the compass needle lines up with the rods. ..... etc....."

Similar to this?

Exactly

Yes Esteban, you also has figured it out. Like I told them in that thread, it's just a magnetic anomaly detector with a compass mounted on top to indicate direction. Just that. Nothing extraordinary. When I tried to tell the promoter that any dowsing device would work fine as well hence the anomaly both are detecting is the same, he got pissed off.

The purpose of the TNET thread is clearly to promote the guy who owns the device and his services. After all, a good thing to do in the middle of US economic crisis.

Instead of the compass mounted ontop, he could have used a calculator and a simple Radio Shack aluminum antenna and the results might be even better...

There are other ways to achieve the results expected such as your own MFD for instance, which is much better than that thing.

Regards.

PS. Are you available for an expedition in jan-feb 2010?

Hi Hung

Don't know how can detect with the simple compass... Another think is astatic needles, 2 needles in opposite wich nulls and don't be affected by magnetic field of Earth, was uses for locate big mass of iron like ships, because as magnetic field of Earth is nulled, variation causes by big mass of iron can be detected by such needles.

Maybe I'll available jan-feb 2010...

[hung]

Esteban, no need to use static needles. One bar magnet close to the needle would produce a null point depending on the position related to the earth's magnetic field. The null point is a point where the resultant magnetic field is zero.

It means that when they are in equilibrium, any other magnetic source nearby will affect the needle position.
Actually a simple magnetic source depending on its nature and distance, might be stronger than the earth's own and will make the needle turn.

And you might be right. The device might be even simpler than a magnetic anomaly detector as it could be simply employing a bar magnet and a stabilizer circuit to do the job.

I will look in the net to see if I find a good text about magnetic nulling for you to read.

Regards.

Maybe I'll available jan-feb 2010...

OK. I will email you with details. Let's see if things work fine and we can go.

[Esteban]

Hung, email me details.

Esteban and Hung, I don't know how it works, but I suspect there would be a coil that picks up the magnetic flux and the compass aligns to it. I did find it interesting that they could detect an area where an automobile had been parked, much like dowsing rods can pick up where a target had been--only the rods (and human body) have much more sensitivity.

At first I thought it might have a frequency generator and the compass worked like an L-rod, but the old post you have says it is just a mag. So it could be a take-off of the magnetic distortion/sunspot detector device sold at http://amazing1.com/projects.htm#MGD10 Dell says, this will get touchy with solar activity, maybe even unusable I don't know.

Here Esteban, good read.

Seems an aurora detector. Read this:

Thanks very much.

Hi Mike, yes you are right. It could be.
What you say above sounds familiar?

It's the RT Examiner principle. Only instead of a compass, a telescopic antenna and a calculator to input the frequencies. If high voltage and power are employed, just like some salvage team in US already does, then range increases.
