Ghost Tech: Building a Geophone to detect ground vibrations on ghost hunts

I saw the Ghost Hunters using a new tool they called a Geophone. They used it to measure seismic vibration in the ground to see if ghostly footsteps were actually vibrating the ground like a human's does. I looked into getting one and found that I could only purchase the components. I wasn't sure how to put it all together at first, and could not find a website explaining it. I figured it out, and I decided to put together a video to help others put one together too.

Here is where I got the parts: http://www.bgmicro.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=10783

@GPAgency

thank you.

the only problem I have now, is the only component, the "geophone" here not easy to get at all.... sad :(

@GPAgency

ic, but i went my local electrical shop here in "malaysia",

the guy there, asking me about the values.

values as ohm/watt, so I hope to get these information, so I can purchase the parts (^^)

@mikechew2000

J2 is power, J3 is signal, R1 is the sensitivity, J1 is mode,

I hope this helps

[mikechew2000]

can I ask for help, what is the value or specification for the R1, J1, J3, & R2

value of the ohm/watt and lastly what the black spot? is it a component?

Please and tq, here in asia part, don't have this kits to purchase. (^^)

you've been watching too much tv

BG micro no longer sells the kit.

I have one of those kits. It does not tell you where you solder the geophone and then to the board. Mine has blue LEDs though. Get an input power jack for your geophone project, so you can plug that in, instead of cutting the jack connector off, or you will have loose wires, even though, you can use it that way if you want, check the polarity first! Just make sure you have the battery off. Use some soldering, some switches, and a good mount, and you should be ready have a good custom geo! 5/5!
