Re: 7.1Hz, Frequency variation and Q

Hi,

I dug up these two papers on the frequency variation and the Q of the 
Schumann resonances:

Even has some driving impedance information.

Since the Q is not very high, you would probably be best off with a single 
fixed frequency.  Then a far off detector could be made to pick that single 
frequency out of all the other noise to maximize the chance of receiving 
anything.  The receiver has to have a little bandwidth since the 
propagation is going to "wiggle" the frequency along the way a small 
bit.  Making a Tesla coil to track the Schumann resonant frequency for real 
time tuning is probably not going to gain you anything.  If it did work, 
the FCC would also be a whole lot happier if you were not broadband.

Yang's model points out that you will have to "compete" with all the 
natural lightning out there too.  With a Q of say 5, you could get away 
with 1/5th of a lightning strike's energy for each cycle.  You will also 
have to compete with a 2.5Km lightning bolt's length with the X-ray beam 
conductor setup.

The feasibility of it working looks extremely grim to me, but that's not my 
problem :-)  A practical goal might be to send enough of a signal so that a 
submarine could receive it so as to simplify that present system...  They 
would love to get rid of those giant antennas...  There is a change you 
could get the government to help pay for the effort...  But they will pull 
in the ELF guys and they might "really" be grim about it's feasibility...

For it to work, grounding will be a big issue...  But Tesla's system or 
ground wells have that figured out.

Cheers,
