Anytime you run a wire from the surface into an underground cavity it will disrupt the natural field, thus battery operated devices would have to be used to measure and record information. As noted in my previous post, there are few reports on the subject of measuring potential differences over underground voids.
I searched 'field mill' as I didn't know that device & I found plans for building one.

I have a small multimeter & I thought one lead grounded & the other as an
aerial? Just thinking out loud. I will look over the field mill plans & description in more detail. Thanks as always Frank.

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!
