About The Radio

The InfraSignal Radio is an extremely low frequency (ELF) radio receiver with Built-In-Test, Alarm, and Safety functions. Depending on the type of connected signal sensor (detector), the radio can be used for a number of purposes.

 

When the radio is used with a seismic (ground vibration) sensor, it can detect the early signs of a developing landslide. The United States Geological Survey (USGS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) websites report lots of warnings signs before a landslide occurs. All of these warning signs involve small movements and vibrations in the ground. See (MUD, ROCK, LANDSLIDES).

 

The radio and seismic sensor system can also detect ground vibrations from other dangerous local sources such as Rockslides, Mudslides, Flashfloods, Tsunamis, Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Tornados touching the ground.

 

When used with the electromagnetic pulse (EMP) sensor, it can detect both Solar EMP and Nuclear EMP. See (SOLAR ACTIVITY).

 

Other uses: When used with the seismic sensor, it can detect ground vibrations from pile driving, tunnel digging, oil well fracking, see (OIL WELL FRACKING video). When used with an infrasound microphone, it can help locate large animals in the wild such as elephants, etc. It can aid in the detection and location of mysterious infrasounds such as the wind blowing on a vibrating object. It can detect resonant signals and measure their frequency such as helicopters in flight. When used with an infrasound hydrophone, it can detect pressure waves from large ships propellers and alert small sailboats at sea. It can be used to listen to whales, both is the infrasonic frequency range and the audible frequency range. When used with a vary very large loop antenna, it can detect small fluctuations in the earth’s magnetic field during solar flares and aurora. And we are sure there are others.
