About 20 years ago an article appeared in Radio Electronics magazine describing such a detector. It was basically a circuit that amplified the 1/f noise on a big capacitor. Because this noise followed a diurnal cycle, it was claimed to be measuring gravity. My recollection is that this was in their April issue, where they traditionally included a joke article (e.g. macrowave oven for cooling things rapidly). I would caution against investing money in this device. ;-) Ken Muldrew. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
