The disruption of radio propagation prior to major earthquakes has been noted as far back as the 1960s. The APM device will be influenced by propagation disruptions that are hundreds of miles away and they can be in any direction. A field mill will detect the differential potential in-line with the direction of the vane aperture, the local potential. A field mill sitting vertically will detect the difference between where the device is sitting and the atmosphere above it.
I suggest then that an array of Ambient Power Modules similarly oriented may well triangulate the signals in the same manner as arrays of seismometers locate quake epicenters & depth. If I recall from the article, the radio anomaly preceded the actual quake by 6 days. .......

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
