Default Description is incorrect

I agree with Carl - the description of operation for the ionic detector on the Mineoro website is incorrect. This is not the way that ionic-electrostatic detection works. Whoever wrote that information does not understand the basic underlying principles used in these detectors. The correct description for this phenomenon is "continually replenished alternating potential", or C.R.A.P. as it is known in the scientific community. This C.R.A.P. is expelled by objects that have been buried for a long time, and is continually replenished by the electrostatic field generated by the earth's rotation. Mineoro detectors capture this C.R.A.P. as it moves through space and compares its polarization to the sample contained in the Sample Chamber Amplifier Module. When the detected C.R.A.P. is mixed within the Biotronic System (using special modulation techniques) it is possible to discriminate between the different types of C.R.A.P. and output a signal accordingly.
Someone should really contact Mineoro and request that they update their website with the correct information.
