Crystal Quantum Radio Sensing Computer Screen

[evolivid]

A LED can do the same thing kinda I would use this name the file color.bat @echo OFF :lable cls color 31 cls color 31 cls goto lable

[johnywebb]

as it is right now im hearing Bagpipes

[johnywebb]

Now if you had this on a PC im sure it would sound much better

[jmm1233]

lol , it singing nicely

you should try it with different colours , put the paint program window in front of the box and change the colour to see what tones you get , it properly has something to do with the screen emits different emf depending on what colours are on the screen , also see what you get on an old tv tube screen , it might be different ,

[MrfixitRick]

Hehe, glad you are enjoying this series of Spirit Radio videos!

I did do some more experiments with colour on the screen in "Beta Blocker Crystal Radio Learns Colours" YouTube/watch?v=aPEJtXhGiI0

[Emiel84]

Sounds like a very busy printer :p .

[MattBlytheTheOne]

it is obviously picking up the harmonic frequencies and energies from the screen (through the aerial), what is interesting is that a) different areas of the screen have different characteristcs and b) that the radio can detect them at all, the crystal must be way more sensitive than we imagine....

[MattBlytheTheOne]

interestingly enough at the start of the video the sounds you were eminating were very similar to those of a tanker's engine at sea, a submarine and even the harmonic frequencies of a UFO (if I was to know!)

[MrfixitRick]

The initial sounds came from my "Spirit radio With Heart" video, and is the 1 - 2 Hz sound from a rotating heart homopolar motor. Besides the things you mentioned, that ELF frequency is also at the root of deep delta sleeping brain waves.

[MattBlytheTheOne]

it is also the frq tesla used to transmit longitudinal standing waves over long distances ;)

[MrfixitRick]

Yes, and Tesla was first to discover the Earth's resonant frequency at about 6 hz.

[MrfixitRick]

This simple little radio circuit sure surprised me. I can detect both the screen emanations and the interior sounds of the computer itself. (since I have an IMac, the computer guts are behind parts of the screen.)

It's interesting to note that the radio is primarily quiet at the back of the iMac, which has a metal plate across the back inside.

[MattBlytheTheOne]

I envision that all small scale electronics devices (watches phones etc) will have similar "radios" fitted for their power supply and time keeping ... on a larger scale would be tesla tuned coils

[MrfixitRick]

Tesla said at the end of his life "The future is mine".

[MattBlytheTheOne]

Winston Chruchill said, "The empires of the future are the empires of the mind!"

[pimpachu]

It's not strange. In this application, your device is acting as a light intensity detector. The energy you are detecting will be stronger in areas that are white on the screen, and will be mostly muted when over areas that are black, on the screen. Make or find a gradient fill black and white test pattern sort of image, then slide your device across that image, to see what I mean.

[MrfixitRick]

The light intensity has little to do with this Beta Blocker response. In fact, the darkest colors of my paint program will come through loudest! This will be demonstrated in my next video.

Also, I can block the light to the Beta Blocker, and the effect still occurs through many sheets of paper.

I believe it is a peculiar electrostatic effect at this point.

[pimpachu]

I saw your other video. The sound from the light blue seems just as loud to me as the dark colors. Maybe you are having trouble hearing it because it is going into higher frequencies? Check the amplitude in your sound program - only real way to tell.

Also, when visible light hits a solid object, it will give off a certain amount of infra-red radiation; may explain why it works through solids. Aluminum has the highest infra-red reflectivity of anything; use some to make sure that that's not it.

[MrfixitRick]

The sound in the video is not the same as "being there".

I notice much less distinction between the different sounds in the video. And the sounds are much richer in person.

I don't think visible light is involved here. In my tests, visible light only affected the radio when the diode was exposed to it by opening the cover.

I believe the effect has to do with the mask of the LCD screen putting out EMF. I need to learn more about screens to say for sure.

[pimpachu]

I've been reading up a little bit. And, given it some thought. when light travels through a filter (or mask), the 'blocked' spectra is converted into infra red radiation; which can easily pass through your box. Try shining a high intensity light through a filter, such as colored tissue paper or plastic bottle; not glass. The white light from your monitor or a 5$ halogen bulb from a DIY store are both fine choices. If all else fails, point a TV remote at the thing; it will emit infra red.

[MrfixitRick]

Infrared is blocked by wood, so I don't think the box is picking up that spectrum range. I've shone lights of different kinds on the box with no response unless the lid is open. Except for a 110 volt lightbulb, which will get a response from the AC field generated around it that can penetrate the box.

[pimpachu]

Wood won't completely block infra-red. I suppose that typical IR levels won't penetrate your box. From what I know about LCD's , the only part of the screen that can create radio frequencies are the transistors behind each subpixel. Transistors are used to "switch" on and off any electrical signal, as well as provide radio amplification. LCD's transistors aren't powerful enough to make a signal. It may be possible, that a heterodyne effect is causing light to amplify each transistors radiowave .

[NOCNOTCAUGHT]

LCD masks alter themselves to become completely opaque to display darkness and variablly opaque to allow light of certain wavelengths to pass. Moving your dark object aside allows the most power or possibly stray EMF to pass through the mask to the blocker or receiver as you have it configured. I would be interested to see a movie (with the film sound off) play full screen with the same configuration in place. This should produce some interesting results. Coolest vids on U-TUBE You Rock Rick!!!

[MrfixitRick]

Good comment! The Beta Blocker does respond to movies as well, and it will be interesting when I use a real-time audio visualizer running off the sounds from the radio!

[MrfixitRick]

I tried a movie and iTunes Visualizer as background input to the BB radio with good results in my new movie YouTube/watch?v=aPEJtXhGiI0

[KanineKruizer]

I know of piezoelectric materials, but I am not so sure that this would qualify.

Very interesting.

[flippinrawks]

so, it doesnt require electricity, yet it has a capacitor in it. I bet you could charge a battery with it using several sources.

have you tested the audio output for voltage? I mean speakers require voltage to function, ya know what im sayin'?

[XxhilfmirxX]

holy fuck, its expensive as hell...

55 bucks for this thing... cool and all but too expensive

[MrfixitRick]

Lots of folks own a vehicle that they bought for a thousand times as much. But it won't take them where this baby will!

[karrachr000]

well, I know that the military uses a device to see what is on a computer screen through walls (in graytones). it uses variations in the static field generated...

This could be a simmilar situation.

[MrfixitRick]

Holy cow, I did not know that was possible!

Thanks for that info...it makes a lot of sense that it is an electrostatic event of some kind. Electrostatics of this nature is a bit of a gray world...hehe!

[HighTimeTunes]

hey flip--great suggestion

very cool stuff mrfixitrick, looks like your beta blocker works well for you in more ways than one

[MrfixitRick]

By exhausting the possibilities of all the things it isn't, I hope to find out what it IS !

[cuchaia]

pretty neat rick ... sounds like you got a neat tune coming up there .. a number one hit in the iMac charts :)

[MrfixitRick]

I'm getting some really intense piercing sounds and rumbling harmonics, that are semi-controllable at times.

Similar to a Theremin, the Beta Blocker could be a stage instrument quite easily! It is unique and better, actually. I have proven it responds to AM radio frequencies, EM fields and pulses, lights of all frequencies, voice, and full audio ranges.

And now, the computer screen can be played like an instrument...There's more on this weird effect in next video.

[cuchaia]

good stuff rick...

:)

[flippinrawks]

hmm, so its detecting the different frequencies of light it seems.

did you try opening an art program and making different color squares?

[MrfixitRick]

I tried the art program trick, and the beta blocker spirit radio seemed to be able to sense colours on the computer screen. After a couple of hours of messing around, it now seems more like "only" stages of light and dark are detected. (Dark is louder, strangely enough)

I can easily discriminate the sound difference in the radio's audio feedback between 12 levels of grayscale on the screen.

Maybe it's only a black-and-white radio...;)

[markuks]

we'll you look at that... its more a beta blocker orchestra. I'm guessing its something to do with the screen when more light is made. I think you're gonna get a bigger difference when you use a CRT monitor than a LCD

[MrfixitRick]

The bare screen is the loudest response, but a dark square is louder than a light-colored one when inside of a program window. (see above comment)

Speaking of beta blocker orchestra, I hope to present some BB musical sound-scapes as a listening adventure for hardy bardo voyagers!
