Wave Bender  Energetic Magnetics Hobby Site

Ghost Hunters and Paranormal  hobbyist   applications

 
The intention is to  address  hobby specific   uses for the " magnetics " technical  information
 on this site   in order to  empower   " hobbyists "  and  " hunters  "  with very inexpensive
new  and / or   improved  tools  to  help them in their  pursuits .

FIRST:

My shocking  disclaimers about  Gauss  Meters  and   ghost hunting with them   !!!!

with-in the arena of Ghost hunting and paranormal hobbyists  , the use  of   AC gauss meters
has become widespread . many people own these meters and  many more web sites tout their
capabilities and uses !   I also agree that  " some " ac gauss meters  " may "  have applications
in the Ghost and paranormal fields ,  BUT   the VAST  majority of ac    gauss meter   use  has
absolutely nothing to do with ghosts at all .  the use of these meters   can seem mysterious  and
 strange and  numbers of  people " incorrectly " relate  their  " mysterious
 and strange "  gauss meter  experiences with the "  mysterious and strange  " world of ghost
hunting and  improperly link   the two together !   to  technically astute and  skilled  electronics
 people,  the vast majority ( 99.9% )  of signals found with a gauss meter are nothing more than
 common , easily explainable  manmade events ,  nothing at all that could be associated with
 ghostly activities !  it  might   be fun to  " scare " yourself with the " strangeness "  of
a gauss meter, but  for the serious  ghost hunter , it should  be realized as just that , FUN !
 ( and not taken serious )     a  " serious " ghost hunter should take time to learn to use
the gauss meter in a technically appropriate manor and  know the difference between
" manmade " and " ghost like "   waves present in their environment !  ( not an
easy thing to accomplish !  )

first ,  here are some reasons why  I think this  and what  some common  " incorrect "
applications for   a gauss meter are !  

Ghosts have been around ever since the beginning of man !   people have had ghost
experiences for many  hundreds , maybe thousands ,  of  years.    stories of  ghostly
movement of metal  objects,  levitating metal objects , manipulation of  locks , 
and of metal objects being  tossed across the room  abound in written  ghost lore !
  Ghosts    are NOT something that   just began at the beginning of the 20th century !
stories of  ghostly movement of metal   objects did NOT just start at the beginning of
 the 20th  century  as well !!!  ghosts are   recognized as being of the  supernatural
 and / or   paranormal world and not something   simply " manmade "  !  
claiming that ghosts are " manmade  "   would seem to  contradict the very basic
 nature   of ghosts .  

    WELL ......... " ac "  waves /  power /  signals .......... stuff that the " ac gauss meters "
are specifically designed to  find / detect   are  nearly always " manmade "  ( 99.9% )  !
ac waves  are not only  a manmade invention  , but  they are a newly arrived  invention .....
only showing up on the planet at the beginning of the 20th century !  before the
beginning of the 20th  century ( more or less )  , ac waves were  mostly known only
in theory   and   didn't generally  exist (  especially as they do nowadays  ).    additionally ,
ac gauss meters  are specially designed to have a  response to  " ac "  ( manmade )
signals / waves /  power   in the  50hz to 400 hz   range ....... this because  it   is the
range where  about 95% of ALL manmade   signal / power / wave activity  occurs ! 
This means that " ac gauss meters " are  designed to intentionally  detect  " manmade "
waves  specifically  and particularly at a  " manmade " range of frequencies of  50hz
to 400 hz ! (  manmade " ac " waves happen at  other frequencies , like  50 - 90 khz
for the sweep in computer monitors ,  tv horizontal sweep circuits and many more ......
 but the VAST majority of  " ac "  happens in the 50hz - 400 hz  region  < by far > in
 comparison ! )   for ghosts to  use or be involved with manmade  " ac "  waves / signals /
power .......  they could  have  taken up this activity " only " since the beginning of the 20th
century  and  ( if you find them " directly " with a gauss meter )  have specifically taken up
 interaction   with    50hz - 400hz manmade frequency waves  !  

  frankly , to my way of thinking , it's pretty far fetched to think that ghosts have suddenly
( at the beginning of  the 20th century ) decided to take up  interaction with  or " giving off "
of manmade " ac " wave forms ,    but ...... I'm not here to pass judgment on this  " supposed "
20th century change in ghost activities  .   what  I " can " say about this is that  even if ghosts
did suddenly decide to start using " ac " manmade waves/ signals / power ....... that  these
" ghost like " uses / signals would constitute such a small  number of the overall  VAST
atmosphere of manmade ac waves/ signals / power  ( the manmade   " cloud " of  ac waves
smothers " everything " in inhabited / metro environments and is fairly pervasive in  remote
/ rural areas ... even out in the desert and mountain areas !   it's difficult to find anywhere that isn't
" smothered " by  manmade  ac waves    )  that    trying to  decide which waves are the ( 99.9 % )
manmade   ones and which are the  ( .1 % )  unexplained ones  is generally beyond the abilities
of all but the most experienced electronically  trained  ghost hunters.   the average , novice /
experienced  ghost hunter simply has no idea how to differentiate between the explainable
( common , manmade ) waves and the unexplained  ( potential ghostly  )  waves.    make NO
mistake , plenty of unexplained ...... " ghost like  " waves absolutely DO EXIST ....... I'm
certainly not saying they don't ....... what I AM SAYING  is that they are hard to find and even
harder to  differentiate,  and generally ........ users of ac gauss meters  "  do not  " find
ghostly waves with them and wouldn't know the difference if they did !   simply finding
something  " strange or  unknown  "  by waving a gauss master around IS NOT the same
thing as finding something " truely "  unexplained , supernatural or ghost like ! .......... not
 by the farthest reach  of  anyone's imagination !


OK ....... having said " all that " ..............  

how , then ,    should  a ghost hunter  use a   ac gauss meter  to find ghosts  ???

well  .........  since ac manmade waves about " saturate  " all the  frequencies
between  50hz and 400 hz  ( the range the gauss meter is made to work at  ),
and since " unexplained " waves   are only about .1% of the possible waves
being found ... it is pretty  difficult for the  ghost hunter to  fire up a gauss meter
and walk around a room with it , and decide they have found a " ghostly "
wave / signal  since   there is a 99.9% likelihood that it is not an unexplained
 ( ghostly ? )  signal in the first place .     additionally ....... depending upon
if  you  " do  or  do not   " believe " ( and it is just that , a " belief " ..... not yet a
proven  fact )   that it is likely   that ghosts have suddenly  taken up using
 " manmade "    20th century  type waves ..........  MAYBE a  different approach
 might be more  productive   for the serious ghost hunter.   ( not the person
trying to  " scare  / entertain "   themselves  with the " strange and mysterious "
 < but    common  >  waves  usually found with a   gauss meter  ) .

I suggest  keeping at least " TWO "  different   ghost like   attributes in mind
when using gauss meter technology,  in the pursuit ,  for   the   ghost  hunter
and paranormal hobbyist !!!  sticking with the " known "  and provable
scientific  stuff   and setting aside the  unknown / unproved / unproveable 
to a later  time.

first :  ghosts  are well documented to have  manipulated metal objects as mentioned
earlier in this document.   much  of this  documentation having taken place  well
 before the   the advent of manmade ac power  ( before the turn of the 20th century )  ! 
hunting for  " dc " magnetic  waves / signals / power   and / or  ULF  (   ultra low
frequency  )  waves / signals / power    is more logical when related to  ghost hunting
for  many reasons.    it is logical that  if ghosts  use   waves / power of any kind ,
they  surely  have to use " dc " magnetic   energy since it has been around since the
birth of the planet  ( for one ) , and   it is  also logical  because   ghosts are
considered to be " natural  " ( albeit it,  super natural ) in nature and magnetic waves
are " natural " earth waves as well !  both ghosts and " magnetic " waves have a
natural  earth source in common and are NOT manmade !    " dc " magnetic energy
 can  easily manipulate metal   objects and is  a natural earth  phenomena !  this is
not to say that ghosts don't use " manmade " ac " waves ..... just that it is logical that
they have always used  " dc " waves  ( if they use any waves at all  )  and when looking
for ghosts with  technical  equipment  " dc " waves are easier to  detect and measure
because   the " cloud " of   manmade  " ac "  waves doesn't   interfere , as much ,
 with finding DC    waves.   it's easier to  detect / measure  dc waves   (  or rather
disturbances in  the dc   magnetic earth field )  than to  pick out  unexplained   waves
 from the " mass "  of   manmade 50hz - 400 hz  AC waves,  present everywhere !


secondly :   there is a large  assortment of " unexplained "   dc magnetic and ULF
ac waves to be found.   if  there  are   waves /  power / energy  associated with ghosts
it's FAR more likely  related to the  " unexplained " waves and NOT the easily
explained manmade  " ac " ones !!!  many of   these unexplained  DC magnetic waves 
and  ac ULF   waves have ghostly qualities and  could be  easily  attributed to ghosts !

The Gauss master and " dc " magnetic waves

 detection , recording / documenting and understanding   magnetic  waves

I keep harping on using the Gauss Master because it is the one and only
gauss meter available that  uses  a  direct  " VCO "  ( voltage controlled
oscillator  )   to indicate signals found.   what is this  VCO and why is it
 important ?    the Gauss Master  VCO circuit   does '  three "  important  things
and is the only meter on the market that has  "  all three  " of  these
important  properties  !

first :  it  takes tiny,  weak,  " ac " voltage signals from the  antenna / sensor  and
changes them into a  loud  audio signal that humans can hear !   the larger
( stronger ) the signal , the higher pitched the audio signal from the speaker !
( as do many other gauss meters  ) stock   Gauss Masters are designed to
 " work best  "  between  50hz  to 400hz . 

secondly:  the gauss master is a " up converter  " . it  can detect / sense  signals
well below the range of human hearing and  " up convert  " them to  a tone in the
audio range that humans can hear.   the  up converted  signal  strength is directly
 proportional  to the  level of the detected signal .  weaker signals are lower in tone,
stronger signals are  higher in tone .    some other gauss meters can also  up
convert , in a manor of speaking ....... as some of them  have a beeping tone
that  goes faster as the signal gets stronger .   both methods can be useful.

( please note:  to detect and hear tiny electrical signals in the 300 - 3000 range
of human hearing  , it would only be necessary to use an inexpensive radio shack
amplifier ,  connect a sensor /  antenna  and a diode < or  diode bridge >
in series to  the "  mic input "  jack and  you can " direct convert " , ie:  amplify
and hear  tiny   weak signals in the " audio range ".   this is the simple basic
  foundation of the  many earth sounds receivers that are found on the web !
 http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2001/ast19jan_1.htm  .  BTW: are /
could any  of the " earth sounds " have paranormal or supernatural sources ???
a serious ghost hunter might want to  add  this type of equipment to his hunting kit
as well !!! )
 

thirdly :  THIS is the most important   and most useful of the  abilities of the Gauss
Master  and  is ONLY found on the Gauss Master and no other  gauss meter
that I have seen .  that , and these meters are VERY inexpensive  to purchase,
usually less than $40.

since the up converting circuit in  the Gauss Master is a proportional  " VCO " .
in addition to  just changing the detected signal to a tone a human can hear , the
VCO also imparts the " modulating  characteristic  " of the   " ac " signal  detected /
sensed as well.   I cannot overstate the importance of this feature !

  if you hold  the stock gauss master near  ( held in the 0 - 1    range )  power wiring
in your wall  ( or wall outlet , an appliance, etc )  , it ..........

detects the tiny " ac "  60hz field around the wiring  and generates  a  1000hz +
audio tone.   the closer to the wiring you get  ( the stronger the detected ac voltage ) ,
the  higher  pitched the tone gets.  so far, this represents  " one " and  " two " above !

in addition to " just hearing a tone  " , you will notice a characteristic  " 60 hz  "  buzz
in the speaker as well.   THIS is  a highly  important  thing .......  VERY important.
" all " ac  signals  ( manmade or not )  have a characteristic  " modulation " or buzz
on them and the Gauss Master imparts this  " buzz " to the user in a VERY  concise
and  proportional relationship !   if the detected signal was in a 400hz aircraft
power system, then the user would hear a audio tone  " WITH " a characteristic 400hz
(  much higher pitched  buzz than 60 hz )   buzz instead.  

IF YOU DETECT ANY SIGNAL WITH THE GAUSS MASTER THAT DOES NOT
 HAVE THIS  CHARACTERISTIC " BUZZ ",  IT IS NOT A " AC " SIGNAL , IT IS A
 " DC " MAGNETIC SIGNAL  INSTEAD.   note than some " ac " detected signals
 can have  a ' weak "  ac characteristic or   a "  buzz  "  that is VERY low in frequency
( say 1 or 2 or so hz )  and it might be a AC  signal and the  hunter might not
recognize it !   THIS is why we should use either  the  digital audio recorder and / or
the spectrum analyzer software
to confirm the nature of the signal found .

Remember that the gauss  meters are specially designed to detect and measure
" AC "   types of waves, and what I'm speaking of in this section is using the Gauss
Master  to detect " DC "  magnetic types of  waves which it isn't directly designed
 to do ! 

  IMPORTANT: .......  a gauss meter can only detect  DC magnetic
 ( static  , non ac waves )  waves if  it's antenna / sensor coil is   IN  MOTION 
or if the  DC magnetic  wave is  it's self   in motion , and the wave  " cuts ' the
antenna / sensor coil !   if you turn on a gauss master and lay it on a table ,
if there is a  magnetic wave in motion in the vicinity of the sensor  /  antenna
coil ,  the gauss master will sound off with a changing pitch audio tone.  this
audio tone will be a PURE TONE with NO ac modulation component  seen
/  heard on the tone ( heard by your ear or seen on the spectrum analyzer
software  ).   it is possible to put  the gauss master in motion and detect / sense
magnetic waves
as well , but care must be taken to avoid detecting the earth's
VERY STRONG  magnetic field and blocking out possible " other "
detected magnetic  signals / waves.  when using any of the external antenna / sensor
mods on a gauss master  ( to gain range and sensitivity )  the antenna / sensor
must  be   held  still   ( not in motion  ) to function without being jammed by the
earth's magnetic field.  the earth magnetic fields are  relatively   stationary  ( they
move around , but nearly imperceptibly  so  )  , so if you detect / sense
ANY magnetic field in motion ,  my friend " THAT " is an unexplained / ghost like
 wave !   exactly what you are looking for !   if you intend to use the gauss master
in motion  ( see how I  found ghost like mmws  )  , you should  keep / use the
( less sensitive ) internal antenna / sensor and move  it around VERY slowly. 

it is VERY easy to discriminate between  " ac " and  " moving DC magnetic "
waves.    move  a gauss master around a location and detect a wave , if you
hold the gauss master  motionless  and " STILL " hear the wave/ signal , it is
a  AC magnetic wave.  you will almost certainly hear a characteristic  AC  buzz
on it as well (  about 99.9% of the time ).  if the wave " disappears " when you hold
the gauss master motionless and reappears when you move it again , then it is almost
certainly  the  DC magnetic wave you are looking for.    " ac "  signals / waves usually
have a broad  front when found with a gauss master. they can often be found over a wider
range of travel of the gauss master when measuring them.  " dc " magnetic waves,
on the other hand , have a VERY sharp signal characteristic and appear and disappear
 VERY  suddenly when you pass the gauss master through them !  if you think you have
found a  ( rare )  DC magnetic wave , it sounds like one ( a very pure tone ) and feels
like one ( very sharp signal characteristics  or a  " bleep "  of a signal passing through when
you hold the gauss master still  )  then you should save the signal by recording it  as mentioned
above and confirm that it is " indeed ' a dc magnetic wave and doesn't have any ULF
ac signal modulation on it !   you  can " detect " an ac wave from nearby the signal because
they radiate through the air ( hence  it's broad  feeling )  ...... conversely , you  must directly
contact DC magnetic waves to find them  (  hence their apparent   " sharp " signal
 characteristic.  )  . 

try  this :   you will probably find it helpful to have some practice at hearing the difference
between " ac "  and  " dc " signals / waves !    try this quick and easy  test to hear the difference,
record the difference and  use the spectrum analyzer software to confirm the difference.
first ,  hold a gauss master on the lowest ( most sensitive  )  0 -1 range and hold it near
an appliance or wall outlet ...... and hear the tone increase  (  get stronger ) and listen
for the very  noticeable 60hz BUZZ in the speaker , as well.  the buzz shows you it is an AC
( manmade ) signal !     then ........   get one of those  powerful
little magnets that you see many people playing with  ( any magnet will work )  and  spin
it on it's  power axis  ( any axis will do, but the magnet's powerful axis will give you more
range / distance ), near the sensor on a Gauss Master or any gauss meter sensor  .
    notice how " sharp " the signal  is  ( not broad like the wall signal  )
and particularly notice how " pure " the gauss master tone is ..... no " buzz " at all !
notice that when you hold the magnet still .... the sound in the  speaker  ceases ,
and when you held the gauss master near the wall  power wiring , the tone stayed
on even  when holding the meter motionless !
 when detecting moving  DC magnetic waves ....... about the only type of
  moving  magnetic wave anyone is likely to come in contact with  ( obviously
keeping it  away from speakers, headphones , or anything with with  magnets  ) is
an  " UNEXPLAINED " ( perhaps ghost like ?? )  wave.
because this wave's source is utterly  " UNEXPLAINED " it is an excellent
candidate for  a ghost hunter /  paranormal hobbyist's  attention.   unless you can discover
other wise , anyone would be hard pressed to   claim this " wave / signal " wasn't  related
to ghost or paranormal activity !    in the world of AC   waves / signals , remember that
99.9% of them are manmade ...... finding the exception is unusual and very difficult to do !
       in the world of DC magnetic waves....   quite the opposite
is  the rule. in DC magnetic waves , only the  ( apparently ) static earth's magnetic waves
are usually to be found ...... ANYTHING that isn't the earth field is  VERY important and
worth spending more time with ....... absolutely  " anything " you find in motion is
excitement personified ! 

remember too :   besides ghosts , magnetic " bursts "  ( short  dc magnetic
" blips "heard with the gauss master ) can also be from scientific and  government sources
 such as   EMP weapons, nuclear testing etc !
    
 
and finally ..........
 
 
The Gauss master and " AC  "  waves signals 
        
this section should be of  utmost importance to the  ghost hunter that carries
a gauss master or other type of " ac " gauss meter in his kit  !    it's not my
intention to contradict  or argue with those  people that say  "  I saw the ghost
and my gauss  meter went off scale !!  "   or  " when investigating
the site where three people were killed on the train tracks, I found a very strong
creepy  signal with my gauss meter "  !!!    what I do say is that there is such an
immense amount of  common , manmade  AC interference that quite literally
smothers   ALL places that  man inhabits , that it makes more sense to find ,
 isolate and analyze  " ghost like " signals that  " are not  " found in the human
trashed 50hz -  400hz  frequency range .  unless you " clearly " understand the
differences between  " common manmade " signals and unexplained  " ghost
like " signals , you " SHOULD NEVER " think  that just because you found an ac
signal  in a creepy place , with your gauss meter , that it has anything AT ALL to
do with  ghosts or  being ghostly  .    ( right here I know all the  vendors will writhe
and gasp at  my statements as  they don't want to lose sales .  they
depend on the creepy qualities <  to the uninitiated >  of a gauss meter   ..... others
 will   violently react to this information because they " know "  that ghosts use
60hz wall power for their own uses !  that   60hz wall power signals " certainly "
do represent ghosts or their presence " .   if this  bothers you in this way ,
then I apologize and recommend that you pour over my material a LOT !  )
 
all  that and  ...........
  most , untrained ...  non technical ,   people / ghost hunters cannot  discern  the
difference   between  the 99.9% of   manmade signals and the  .1% of  unexplained
AC   signals / waves.     plenty of " unexplained " and ghost like  AC waves /  signals
are well known .... many of which seem to be of " earth like " sources ...... or have
a ghostly " organic " quality about them !   ( is it a ghost or do a type of sea creatures
communicate with ULF ac waves ??  ........  )  

 ( relisted from above .......

Herze the scoop ..............

I suggest  that the ghost hunter should stick with  detecting and sensing signals
in the frequency range BELOW  45 hz.   besides the " dc " magnetic waves.....
add to that the ULF signals / waves in the 0 hz  to 45 hz range.  it's a direct extension
 " up " from the  " dc " magnetic waves and a wave  frequency region RICH with
unexplained waves from unknown sources. it's MUCH easier to detect and record
waves that are FREE from the   trashed range of manmade interference  ( 50hz - 400 hz )
that , plus  fast moving or erratic " dc " magnetic waves will appear  ( with the gauss meters )
to be in the  0 hz to 45 hz  ULF range to boot.   the two  go hand and hand and  basically
the  exact same equipment is suitable for both  types of signals !

WHAT .......??? ......... I thought the Gauss meters worked in the 50hz to 400hz range !! 
 
yes .. basically that is correct ..... BUT ...  this is exactly where the great  " proportional  "
up converting  VCO  ( only available  with  a Gauss Master  )   Gauss Master's  capabilities
come into play.   since the  VCO in the Gauss Master  also imparts the  " modulation
of a detected signal, if that signal  is ANYWHERE in the  0hz to 45 hz  ( or the 0hz
to 1500hz range , for that matter )  , then  THAT ULF SIGNAL will be clearly displayed
on  a  home computer or laptop PC  when analyzing the found signal / wave with a
spectrum analyzer program.   I  cover that topic and equipment here  on my site !
in the case of quite strong   detected ULF  signals,  the low rate of  audio signal change......
or  " wow ..... wow...... wow  " of a 3 hz ULF signal is  quite pronounced and  QUITE different
, in a Gauss Master speaker ,  from the " 60hz buzz   " of the  50hz - 400 hz  AC manmade
signals that we  are excluding from our  ghost  hunting applications !

to make this work properly,  the  most desirable setup for the ghost hunter  would be
as follows  !   

the  ghost  hunter / paranormal hobbyist   should have a gauss master  with ( at the least )
 the   audio output mod , the power switch mod   and ( optionally  )   the external antenna mod !

best application :

the ghost hunter  connects the audio output of his modified gauss master to the sound card input
on the laptop computer !   he brings the equipment to the site and  runs the spectrum
analyzer program  while hunting  !  with the program set to  frequencies below 45 hz ..... then
only signals of interest will appear on screen.  you should set up the  equipment before hand to
get  a " normalized " look at the background  signals on the site before the actual hunting takes
 place.   then the ghost hunter can see any found signals or anomolities present on the computer
screen ,  and combine this information  ( or the " lack of "   found information  )   with all the other
sources of information  ( ir thermometer,  ultra sonic translator ,  audio recorder , cameras etc )
to evaluate the ghostly event or paranormal experience !
  you also should  save the session on the HD of the pc for analysis or comparison at a later time
as well ! 


as an alternative .......

 lacking a portable laptop pc , the hunter / hobbyist  can use  a  digital audio recorder
to record the " up converted " sounds from the Gauss Master and take them home and
analyze them with  his home computer,  running the spectrum analysis program !  
with this  equipment setup... it is quite easy to find  unexplained or  abnormal  local
DC and AC wave / signals if they are present and to use the information to help their
ghost  finding  activities !


the information found here is in the rough , first draft  , stage !  as time passes  I'll
try to refine and expand it where necessary to make it more understandable and
easier to  apply.   if you have any questions about this material please feel
free to contact  me  directly!  





super sensitive magnetic wave  detection  and monitoring  !

a sample set up of equipment mentioned on this site for dc   magnetic wave / ulf
ac  monitoring  .......... not recommended  for urban / suburban  areas or to
be used in motion ....... might be as follows :

simple quick and easy  magnetic wave  checking and  monitoring :
 
1.  ferromagnetic  rod antenna     (  source and information for ferrite rods  )
 

2.  gauss master   with  external antenna mod



  
the  ferromagnetic rod MUST be held completely motionless when monitoring or else
the very powerful earth's magnetic  field  will  be detected  ( by motion of the sensor
rod antenna )  and block out all other   wave signals.  I usually mount  one on a
pan - tilt  camera tripod with  bungie cords ( see picture at bottom of page  )
so I can both rotate and tilt the  antenna
for best results.    when held motionless , this equipment will detect VERY weak
changes or disturbances in any  magnetic field ,  natural or manmade.
l
the above equipment combination is suitable for rural or  desert like  environments. if used
anywhere around  power lines or   populated  locations ,  the  interference
can  render  this equipment   nearly useless as it will usually be jammed with interfering
local  , manmade , signals  ( power line hash, computer noises, etc. ) .    this set -up
can still be used in a  populated environment  but will have  impaired  abilities.


a more suitable  set-up for  populated environments would be  the gauss master with
a smaller external antenna  or simple the built - in stock gauss master antenna.  like
with the previous  equipment set-up , the smaller external antenna  MUST  BE HELD
STATIONARY or it will  detect the earth's magnetic field.  a stock gauss  master can
also be used  " as -  is " , but  it will only " easily " detect " gross  " changes in the earth's
  magnetic field , in the high  1 - 10 milligauss range.    it should be  held motionless or
moved only  VERY  slowly when using   the  stock  internal antenna  to avoid  jamming by
 the earth's magnetic field in the lower setting  range of  0 - 1    milligauss  sensitivity. 

example of smaller external antenna, better for    populated  location applications
text and info


 
 

when using the ferromagnetic rod external antenna  ( mentioned , first , above )  ,
you can  get   a lot of additional sensitivity and range  (   100s - 1000s  of miles  ! )
by adding preamplifiers  in-between the rod antenna and the  gauss master .




you can " stack " preamplifiers for   super gain and range  applications




 it is a great idea to record and / or document your waves   to  study at a later time
or to  show and compare with other people's finds .   imagine documenting a find
of a  ghost   magnetic wave signature  and posting it on the web for others to see and
compare their finds against !    true " signature " comparison can only usually
be accomplished  by   the use of ' Spectrogram ' type software analysis.

inexpensive recording of  the  found waves  /  disturbances  can be accomplished
with the use of  a small digital pocket recorder  ( see above picture  ) .   you can
use the gauss master with the audio output modification   and attach the digital
voice recorder and record your finds, then take the recorder back to your home
and play the recorder into your  computer's  sound card input and use the built in
windows sound recorder  to capture the sound into your computer.  then you can
use  one of the spectrogram software packages to analyze the captured  wave
sound file.  you can look for  manmade  ( ie: 60 hz  modulations )  on the wave
to determine if it was truly a " magnetic wave form  ( pure dc baseline , with
NO manmade ac modulations  )  or  perhaps  a ELF - SLF   ( manmade or natural  )
 wave form.

a handy , gross , " quick check " of some waves  you are finding might be  to use the
rod antenna   ( with or without above mentioned preamps )   into a  audio amp
 to check  the detected wave.   this is  one of the external antennas , preamps if you
 are using them , into a very inexpensive  Radio  Shack audio amplifier. with this
quick check set-up, you will easily  hear RF  ULF signals in the  60  - 3000 hz
frequency  range.   try  holding this set-up near your wall outlets (  60 hz signal ) or
near your computer monitor to understand what manmade  signals / interference
might sound like.  ( signals BELOW  60hz  MUST be " upconverted " with a
gauss master for humans to  hear them
.  )   knowing what  " common "  type manmade
signals / interference   sounds  like,  can go a LONG way towards  helping you
 understand when you  find something  " unusual " or non manmade like a UFO
 or  ALIEN generated  wave  / signal.   this same exact equipment set-up is
 VERY excellent for detection  and monitoring of  natural earth sounds , if you might
 be interested in  finding those  types of waves as well. 
 besides manmade types of waves ,  a familiarity with " natural earth
waves / sounds  "  can also  be helpful to understand what type of wave you are finding.
it is helpful to determine if your captured wave is really a unknown or UFO / ALIEN , a
manmade wave or a  perhaps a earth sound ( the VAST majority , 99.9%,  of found waves
are likely going to be   manmade )

familiarity of the " waves "   shown and  described at  this site   would be very helpful
as well !   the ferrite rod sensor /  antenna  and radio shack amplifier ( shown below )
are also the basic  setup for listening to  "  natural earth sounds  "  in the 300hz to 1500hz
frequency range. the addition of additional  " in line "  preamplifiers  ( as seen in other
 pictures  ) will greatly enhance the range and sensitivity of the  earth sounds receiver .
(  ferromagnetic rod antenna and Radio Shack amplifier  )





this is an example of a portable / mobile   ghost / paranormal   hunting  equipment set-up
showing the ferro magnetic rod antenna ( a  preamp hanging below the rod antenna ),
gauss master up converters and a laptop computer for " on the spot "  spectral analysis.




it's easy to add these  technical equipment  and documentation capabilities to your
arsenal of ghost / paranormal  hobby / hunting  pursuits.  please email me
 if you have any technical questions  or need help
with the material found on this site !



additional possibilities for Ghost hunter equipment selections ........

tho not within the  scope of equipment   generally found on my site, I thought I'd
suggest an additional type of equipment for the ghost hunter !   many ghost hunters
carry and use an " audio recorder "  as  a standard part of their equipment . obviously
this recorder is for the " normal "  range  of human hearing  ( but how " normal  " is a ghost ? ) !
 much of the  equipment  on my site suggest " up converting "   energy  / signals from  "below "
the the normal range of human hearing  ( below 300 hz   )   ..... but what about  voices or other
sounds  "  above "  the range of normal human hearing ?    the range that " bats " and dogs ,
dolphins ,   and  many other animals easily hear !       whom can say if " ghosts whispering "
might not  actually be  sounds " above " the normal range of human hearing ?  maybe other
activities of ghosts or paranormal apparitions  make  sounds in the ultrasonic  ( above
human hearing  ) range as well !    it certainly seems like it's worth investigating
and  " serious " equipment for hearing the sounds above  the normal human range is
very inexpensive and easy to come by !

equipment called " ultrasonic translators "  made by quality companies such
as hewlett packard  / delcon  , model numbers such as  .... HP-4916A , HP-4917A ,
HP- 4918A  and the Delcon 117 ( also made by HP )
are commonly available and very inexpensive when found on ebay.
( often under $40 used , costing many hundreds  when new   )  you can
search " ultrasonic translators "  or " delcon ultrasonic " 
to find them on Google or Ebay ! this equipment is easy to connect to a
digital or  tape audio recorder for documentation and spectrum analysis
as mentioned above in my site page texts
  (  http://home.comcast.net/%7Ekaliber/magsite/specrec.html )  !

( battery portable  hp-4918a with speaker )
and extremely high quality ultrasonic microphone )





Delcon  ( HP ) 117 battery portable that uses
( more desirable )  headphones and the same
exotic  HP ultrasonic microphone 


just a  suggestion  for enhanced possibilities
for your  ghost hunting equipment kit !
