Counting Atoms with the Doppler Effect – Heterodyne Interferometer by Sam Zeloof at http://sam.zeloof.xyz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPu6lN9yJOY Sam, I sent you an email about using this to replace the network of superconducting gravimeters with something more people can afford. You have several orders of magnitude available to you by very small adjustments. SGs cost several hundred thousand and

Plans for measuring the speed of gravity again, using superconducting gravimeter and related sensor networks

Richard K Collins All Sky Cameras, Electromagnetic Gravitational Field, Gravitational Engineering, GravityNotes, Open Algorithm Development, Schools, Universities, Learning and Working, Sun Moon Vector Tidal Signal August 26, 2021

One linear regression is all that is needed to useg JPL Ephemeris to separate the sun moon from earth-based signals I want to repeat the SG network speed of gravity measurement I did in 2003 using all the current stations. I will also use the best of the broadband seismometers from IRIS.edu. Any absolute measurements,

Some Notes on applications for MEMS gravimeters and their global calibration

Richard K Collins Gravitational Engineering, GravityNotes, Open Algorithm Development, Sun Moon Vector Tidal Signal August 6, 2021

Marley, For the last 20 years or so, I have been tracking gravimeter developments, hoping one day they could be developed enough to use in low cost gravitational imaging arrays. I don’t have my notes on what I wrote to you. My memory is that I saw you were at “earth tide” sensitivity. That is

Gravity and Temperature, gravity and pressure

Richard K Collins Electromagnetic Gravitational Field, Experimenting, GravityNotes, Radiation Channels July 17, 2021

Shawn, What I am saying is that the energy density of the radiation field of the earth, which you can map by mapping the temperature is just “gravitational field stuff”. The magnetic field of the earth which you can convert to magnetic energy density is also made of “gravitational field stuff”. The gravitational field of

Gravitational, Magnetic and Electric Field Changes from Global Climate Change

Richard K Collins All Sky Cameras, Collaborative Global Model of the Sun, Electromagnetic Gravitational Field, Gravitational Engineering, GravityNotes, Radiation Channels, Symbolic Mathematics July 17, 2021

I wrote yesterday about magnetism and gravity and temperature at gravimeter and related sensor array detector sites. I give averages over all frequencies, but the fine details can be tracked across all frequencies from picoHertz to ZettaHertz. Relation between gravity, magnetism and temperature at the earths surface at /?p=1893 Today I realized that if global

Accelerometer Specifications: Deciphering an Accelerometer’s Datasheet by Steve Hanly https://blog.endaq.com/accelerometer-specifications-decoding-a-datasheet I see you mention temperature sensitivity. I am writing an article on gravimeters and recommending different ones. Someone estimated their response to temperature. It can be estimated for gravimeter arrays. Here is how I estimated it. Relation between gravity, magnetism and temperature at the earths

Why the sun moon tidal signal is so important for helping global sensor arrays with calibration

Shawn, I worked with the US Agency for International Development, the US State Department, World Bank and many international organizations. Most countries cannot afford to do their own mineral exploration, so outsiders come and take what they have. I helped put microcomputer training and technology into that system so that some countries could afford to

Relation between gravity, magnetism and temperature at the earths surface

Richard K Collins Electromagnetic Gravitational Field, Gravitational Engineering, GravityNotes, Radiation Channels, Solar System Colonization July 16, 2021

I wrote this yesterday, and then realized that if global climate change increases the global temperature by 1 degree then that will change the readings at all accelerometer sites. But the (word that starts with i) at NASA and other places don’t give you the absolute temperature time series, only the change. But the impact

Comment on my video Windows USB GPS Device Based on UBlox Chip and UCenter Software

Richard K Collins All Sky Cameras, Atomic Fuels, Collaborative Global Model of the Sun, Electromagnetic Gravitational Field, Experimenting, Gravitational Engineering, GravityNotes, Schools, Universities, Learning and Working, Solar System Colonization July 16, 2021

Windows USB GPS Device Based on UBlox Chip and UCenter Software https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJZHVKGrl6Y @Ali Zitouna Hamed, I am not sure what you mean by “base ntrip”. I made this long ago and have not used UBlox lately. Since then i have been working on software defined radios, electromagnetic interference, gravitational wave detection, imaging arrays for gravitational

Comment on FIRST STUDY OF USING GRAVITATIONAL SIGNAL GENERATOR FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF THE GRAVITY SPEED

Richard K Collins All Sky Cameras, Collaborative Global Model of the Sun, Gravitational Engineering, GravityNotes, Schools, Universities, Learning and Working July 8, 2021

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/329838665_FIRST_STUDY_OF_USING_GRAVITATIONAL_SIGNAL_GENERATOR_FOR_THE_MEASUREMENT_OF_THE_GRAVITY_SPEED/comments The gravitational potential and the magnetic potential overlap. They are part of the same potential, but they have different spatial frequencies. In a simple picture they are made of particles of different sizes, mixed to make one potential field. The energy density of the gravitational fields is much larger than the corresponding magnetic field.
