My Avatar is in fact the KMS Bismarck firing the fatal salvo against HMS Hood in thew battle of the Denmark Straits. I know, I've met ALL three of the Hoods survivors!
Esteban, FANTASTIC, NOW I will make this and see what happens. Can you give me some pointers on how to use it please? I am NOT going to pooh, pooh your schematics or ideas unti lI have proved to myself.
I REALLY want to try this stuff for myself!!
Hung if you'd actually READ my posts, I said I DO NOT dispute that LRL's may work, what I dispute is the silly and made up science used to explain things which cannot be explained. Gold ions and the like. GOLD DOES NOT CORRODE therefore cannot give of any such ions, THAT is why it is found in it's natural state as GOLD and iron is found as FERROUS OXIDE and Alimunium is found as BAUXITE (Aluminium Oxide) and Lead is found as Lead Oxide. With these metals you might have a chance to smell them, best to smell the coffee though

.
Now as with any large mass the gravitational field in the vacinity will be very slightly distorted and as a consequence moneral depostits may be further attracted to the target. In ALL cases this will happen, but due to the many targets, each with it's own distortion, many will cancel out. The target would have ot be quite large to have any measurable effect. THIS kind of explanation could be believed. I could quote you on how "voltage concentration" might work, but I guess there is some existing answer used by LRLers.
What I am aiming for is EXPLANTIONS in quantifiable terms, not just grabbing at half understood straws. It's not the theories presented, but the way in which they are explained, in the main it shows a very limited understanding of simple physics. When we all talk the same (real science) language, or even the purest language of all, MATHEMATICS, then we can all relate and start making true progress as to just HOW these devices you are building REALLY work, and I'm sure we would ALL benefit from that.
YES I am ignorant of the practices involved in LRL sensing, but I am NOT ignorant in physics theory and it's application to the field (pun intended) of electronics. I could leave your head spinning if I started quoting quantum theory at you, but I am openminded as you suggest and I want to learn more.
I will go back and read these posts as you ask, and will join in more as I learn about the subject.
