Re: 7.1Hz, Frequency variation and Q

Hi Gary,
I just asked Bob about the balloon experiment, he said there were two tethers, one was a strong material like maybe kevlar and the other was a wire. The wire was not used to hold the balloon. He said that when there were clouds he could feel a shock but when the clouds were not present there was no shocks. He does not recall all the fine details but did remember there was 3 or 4 thousand feet of wire.
He also says there was indications of the DC from the clouds on the scope but no sign of DC when there were no clouds. He was looking for 8 Hz signals but did not see any. I asked about the grounding as the other half of the circuit and he said there was a pipe pounded into earth and wet with water for the scope ground..
He also indicated that the shocks from clouds when present would couple to his hand just through capacitance of him to ground. He did not remember the shocks being very remarkable.
He indicated that at some point, as a lark, at end of the experiment they let the wire of very small size cross the primary lines which then of course vaporized. He said he had done a similar thing at Wendover when he had rented a balloon there.
In both line crossings the wires were not held, of course.
I would have not tried that one.
Anyway, that is what I was just told and so pass this back onto you.
He did point from one end of this building to the another part to indicate the size of the balloon, I guess it was a 25 foot thing or so.
I do know this is not the weather people's traditional way of listening to the cavity for lightning strikes, they use a much simpler and compact system, one magnetic, the other E field. Earle built and has run the MIT cavity monitoring station for many years and is part of the global network. He gathers data drives from there every few weeks as backups and replaces them with empty ones. The Rhode Island station is GPS time stamped for both the magnetic and E-field data.
Hope this report is of some value.
Mike.

Oooooo!   good point.

That might be the needle that bursts the whole balloon.  I don't know the
origin of all the electrical noise that's measured *between* the
resonances.  A big enough local source could drown out the worldwide
lightning signals.  But if lightning is like Wardenclyffe, then the big
local noise source would also be like Wardenclyffe, and we should be able
to build receivers to gather pulses of existing energy flux.  Run a big
coil with x-ray tubes shooting upwards?  See if it *receives* 7Hz power?
(Or just use a weather balloon lifting some #40 wire?)

Back in 1989 while at Climax Mine near Freemont Pass (11,318') Bob Golka rented a blimp-shaped helium balloon and sent it aloft carrying the end of a thin steel wire. I don't know what gauge wire was used, maybe somewhere around AWG 28-26, nor how high the balloon went. I built the motorized spooler that he used in the experiment, but was not present for the actual event. From a first-hand account by Jeff Hayes I understand that Bob received strong shocks from the wire when the balloon was up at altitude. I don't know what instrumentation, if any, was used. Perhaps Bob could provide the list with his recollection of this balloon experiment?
