Gravitational Radiation Emission from Natural Sources of Terrestrial Protons

One of the predictions found in the text, Fundamental Invariance and Natural Numbers is the Parallel Gravitationaf Spectrum. For every discrete photon or lepton energy in the electromagnetic spectrum there is a discreie gravitational wave energy. The electromagnetic spectrum covers a wide range of energies but the non-relativistic range oftotal energies for the electron and tlte proton are essentially close to the rest energies ofthose leptons. In general, the gravitational emission radiation energy is much lower in magnitude than the particle rest energy. For ihe rest proton in particular, the frequency of the gravitational emission is found to be 204.071kH2. This frequincy is then modified by the proton Gyromagnetic Ratio and is heard in natural

sources as a73.071KH2 signal. Please refer to this short (BAcIKGROUND ITIEORY) paper for details 0n how this frequency is arrived at. This frequency can easily be heard in the VLF spectrum by any

Longwave DX'er, using modest receiving equipment. Thi major natural proton signal source being investigated is the flux ofprotons trapped by the magnetic bottle eflect ofthe earth's geomagnetosphere, predominantly from the solar wind and to a minor extent from the galactic wind. A great informational site is the US Geological Survey (( j eoma-gnel ilql-llagc ). Solar flare eruptions and coronal mass ejections, such as seen inthe record flareups in October of 2003, increase the signal strength greatly adding to the evidence that this signal may indeed be emanating from this source. One the best places to investigate solar activity is at the NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC and ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION (NO./\A HOINEPAgE] IN addition, this 73.071 KHz signal exhibits spectral components at about (850 Hz), the source of which seems to be the cyclotron frequency ofkinetic protons in the earth's geomagnetosphere. Because ofthe important emphasis placed on the predictability and repeatability ofany experiment tliis signal source has been observed using several different methods as described in the following article. Emphasis is more on general description rather than detailed analysis for the fact that those will employ their own analysis and draw their own conclusions and wishing to repeat these "r,p"ri--.nt, amateur experimentation. also to encourage One easy setup I use is a Yaesu FRG-100 communications receiver with a range of 50 KHz to 30 MHz. a typical iong wire short wave antenna about 40 meters long with an orientation perpendicular to the North, and fed by a 50 ohm coaxial cable. The signal is very faint using AM mode with a signal auclio null occurring at 73.30 KHz. In CW mode the signal is loud and clear. As you tune across the signal bandwidth the signal sounds like the "wind". -Using an HP 3580A spectrum analyzer connected to the recording oulpulgltheruf ! -',ID lrgF communrcatrons lcurtsr urs srgtrar bpixrs trrs rdrrs.! tIF.., jusi dutside the human hearing range measured at a in reference to the audio range spectral component l0 Hz resolution bandwidth and a 2 sec/cm sweep.

Sweeping across such a low resolution bandwidth increases greatly that any noise has equal power density at all fiequencies. This is commonly known as white noise. In using the FRG-100 communications receiver I also take into account that in CW mode the personally set 600 Hz BFO offset alters the audio tone and hence slightly, the spectral result.

This signal bandwidtli is tentatively attributed to the range ofkinetic energies associated with the proton flux predominantly f'rom the solar wind and also to the variable magnetic B-field associated with changing latitude/longitude coordinates and distance perpendicular to the earth's surface that individual protons in motion may be located. Generally at lower latitudes the protons are deflected by this magnetic B-fleld well before encountering the atmosphere and at upper latitudes the protons become trapped by tl.re magnetic bottle etlect and spiral inwards toward the northern magnetic pole. 'fo correlate the spectral components ofthe 73.071 KHz signal to the proton cyclotron frequency f'rom the solar wind flux trapped in the geomagnetosphere, several bits of information are necessary. First of'f the knowledge ofthe magnitude of the B-field at your location and ranging to the magnitude olthe Btield at the nofthern magnetic pole is helpful. You can find these values at the NOAA (Nlagnctic l:ic1cl (ionrpLrtcr-). If you live in the USA just type in your Zip Code, otherwise you also can type in your latitude and longitude coordinates, which you can get here ( l -a liluder Lr4gllude lqnlpute). This latitnde/longitude f'eature is also helpful for finding the B-field magnitude near the magnetic poles where thc signal strength due to increasing proton flux is much stronger but also where the magnetic field magr.titude is much higher resulting in a higher cyclotron frequency. Here is a typical printout on one particular day at my house and also near the northem magnetic pole (near Barrow, Alaska). lPrinloul (). i )cc 2(X)3.1 At rny location, about 60 km southwest of Boston, Massachusetts, USA, the field component resultant is F-53556 nT (nano-Tesla) and rises to about 63000 nT near the northern magnetic pole. This translates to an approximate cyclotron frequency range of (816 Hz to 960 Hz). Additionally, much of the solar proton flux arrives at the earth at relativistic velocity, thereby increasing the proton mass and lowering the cyclotron fiequency, which may explain the increasing signal strength in spectral components at the lower audio range. For example a proton arriving at .90c near the northern magnetic field rnagnitude o163000 nT has a cyclotron fiequency of418 Hz. Additionally, decreasing B-field magnitude such as fbund at increasing distances from the earth surface also lower this cyclotron fiequency. Refer to the short theory paper link above on how to calculate cyclotron frequency. A very good and necessary discussion on the various intricacies involving details of B-field components and the Magnetic Elements correlated to specific geography can be forurd on the same page andjust below the B-field results that you may obtain for your location fiom the NOAA Magnetic Field Computer. I must also add that using the FRG-100, I have heard this signal suddenly shut down momentarily on very rare occasion and then start back up. Knowing that this particular receiver has intermittent audio problcms and thinking this activity perhaps due to internal receiver difficulty and also because this particular receiver has what I believe are IF image signals getting through even though they are supposed to be completely flltered out, I did not trust this experiment as anything but a preliminary scouting mission. In order to build confidence in the experiment and theory overall, the experiment had to be repeated using diflerent equipment and techniques. Another potential problem is that this band is sometimes peppered with signals that are human in oligin. [n this regard the UK had designated the 73 kHz band for amateur radio experimentation for several years but rescinded that privilege in June of2003. Generally, there was a lack ofinterest due nrainly from the excessive noise floor characteristics of that band. (71 .6 KHz to 74.4 KHz) From this author's view, the noise floor is the real interesting phenomena anyway, here are a few paragraphs about tl.rat cpisode. Also. in that band are small Maritime or other beacons scattered around the globe. These statiuns are not constant in their operrtion and generally have very nanow bandwidth transmission characteristics typical ofClW operation (mostly only 100 Hz). Here is a ge!Ial tist of such stations. ln contrast. the ernission we are interested in is at least 3.l4KHz in bandwidth. With these potential problems in mind. experiments in the lab will also be conducted on laboratory samples ofprotons. shielded from outside extemal electromagnetic interference, and also repofted on this website.

Ihe next project was to build the simplest receiving device thereby eliminating any potential interf'erence from the internal generation of stray signals as may be found in a modern digitally based

receiver and also to show an easy receiving device for the interested homebrew experimenter. A simple C'rystal Itadio design coupled with an Operational Amplifier fits the requirements. The circuit is simply a lowcost operational amplifier (741) with a parallel LC resonance circuit (tank circuit) tuned to 73.071 Khz. The output is about I millivolt, just right for observing on a typical spectrum analyzer with a minimum of attenuation. The high input impedance of the 741 also saves one fi'orn lraving to tap the tank inductor Ll, or wind a secondary to it, as in the old days ofradio when the amplifier usually had a low impedance input. See ((llRCltJIl SCllliMA'l'Le) As far as the tank circuit L l . C I, C2. I have used many combinations to obtain similar results. All that is necessary is to satisfy tlie fundamental resonant equation (see circuit schematic). The addition ofthe variable capacitor Cll is to allow some tuning range on either side of 73.071 KHz. My first working prototype was a real birds nest but at these low frequencies circuit layout is not all that critical. NOTE: Ifyou are going to use a spectrum analyzer that is DC coupled it is advisable to put a capacitor in series with the positive output. The OP AMP circuit can pass DC and any voltage spikes could rlamage a sensitive instrument. A (. I mfd) DC blocking capacitor only presents a capacitive reactance of abol.rt 2l ohms, at 73 KLIz. and attenuates the signal only a few dB. Good insurance!! For those ofyou on a budget like me. very good results for observing spectral components in the audio range can be obtained by using an FFT ( Fast Fourier Transform) application and a good sound card witl.r your PC. Typing in FFT into any search engine on the Web you can find many low-cost FFT programs designed fbr audio enthusiasts. I use a Creative Sound Blaster sound card with a 48 KHz sampling rate (96 KHz is available), which according to the Nyquist Theorem isjust adequate to sample signals below 24 KHz without aliasing. The proton cyclotron frequencies of interest (near 0 Hz to 1000 Hz) are certainly well within these parameters. Here are a few spectrograms taken at the 73.30 KHz AM audio null but in CW with a sound card:

Data liom this FFT program can be saved in binary or delimited text formats and then analyzed in MS EXCEL or MATHCAD. Similarly, the data can also be directly saved in a wav.file and used by MATIICAD but wav.files are generally huge, and short streams are desirable. As far as signal power measurements (in Decibels), the sound card must be calibrated to an external standard, however so f-ar in this experiment this necessary information has not been elaborated on yet fbr lcasons discussed below. Frequency-wise the sound card is calibrated at manufacture and is quite accurate. and of course the FFT program is a math algorithm and reflects the accuracy ofthe sound card. The application I use is (lrl;'l' PBQPEI{TIES 3.5) and you can purchase it from that site. I very much like this program it has many useful features and is very modestly priced. Again using an HP 3580 spectrum analyzer (range 5 Hz to 50 KHz) the cyclotron spectral component can easily be observed (a|73.071KHz a bit less than 1000H2):

llowever. with no iF circuitry and no low-pass audio filters the 73 KHz signal is also passed through thc amplilier and is easily observed. Here is a spectral photograph of the signal obtained using a Tektronix 7Ll4 spectrum analyzer with a Tektronix 7854 mainlrame and waveform calculator:

201.071KHz gravitational radiation emission. In essence this is a spectrum photograph ofan intrinsic gravitational wave from an elementary particle. in the context of a large population ofprotons. That the 73 KHz and 204 KHz signals show up clearly in one spectrogram is amazing to this author and is one thing prompting me to publish the results, even though far from fully conclusive and certainly preliminary. Tlie tbllowing spectrogram was taken with a Scientific Atlanta GPD350-6A Digital Signal Analyzer with a Tektronix 603 X/Y Storage Monitor. The two larger side lobes near the center frequency (offto the lelt) are a strong 24 KHz signal that I have not as yet identified.

In the upper display the lobe to the right with the bright cursor at the peak is the 73.50 KHz signal we are after. The 204 KHz signal is out ofthe range of this

Sir.rce these spectrograms were taken the 7L14 spectrum analyzer has been sidelined in need ofrepair. However, I have a vintage Tektronix 1L5 spectrum analyzer about to come online and also a Tektronix 7L5 and 7L13. As more evidence becomes available I will update this website.
