So you are saying I could use this to "amplify" the voltage from a target object into one sufficient to measure on a Digital Voltage Meter? I think that is what you mean, yes? That would make sense.
But wouldn't that signal have to be AC in nature for the transformer to work? How does this signal get to be AC and what frequency might it be at please? Unless you yourself "chop" the incoming signal using a signal generator of some sort. Am I getting warm because I can see that there is some practical theory in this approach? If this is the case, then Hung, you are right, I should read more on the subject (No I am not a convert yet)
I know Earth resonance is around 20Hz (Tesla proved that a long time ago).
I'm not probing you to see if you know, I just want an explanation I can understand, Thanks.
You are correct in your history of the Bismarck hunt. 75 ships of the Royal Navy hunted him down with orders to exact revenge for the sinking of the Hood. Truth is, if the Officer in charge of Bismarck had been any good, he would have pursued and sunk the Prince of Wales also. It would have been easy since the Bismarck had already knocked out all the POW's senior officers with a shell which hit the binacle, shrapnel from which killed all but one man on the bridge. Furthermore, the rear turret of POW was jammed and as she was running way making smoke and on fire, the Bismarck and Prinz Eugen would have been in the clear with no return fire. Adm. Gunther Lutjens was scared of two British heavy cruisers and their torpedoes, and as the German radar (SeeTakt) was not working properly that day (the vibrations from the main guns broke it) he was unsure of how far away the British support ships were and didn't want to risk any further damage to Bismark.
