Measurements of periodically electric field from the interior of the earth

Abstract

This paper presents electric field measurements in the underground water horizon that have been processed by a specialised model installation which receives and records electric signals. From the description and the technical characteristics of the installation, it results that the origin of changes of the recorded electric field is owed to a natural process that concerns the interior of our planet. External factors such as the Ionosphere and human activity do not interfere with the measurements of this particular installation. The presentation of the measurements is dominated by a permanent periodic variation of the electric field with a constant period of about 24 hours. The basic periodic variation of the electric component, which is recorded and examined here, is modulated by pulses of variable amplitude and duration, accidentally distributed in time. The possible generating mechanism of pulses is also under examination in this paper. The result of spectrum analysis of the initial recordings shows a high peak which is identified with the equivalent maximum of the two main mechanical tidal components that are described in the bibliography. It is under examination whether the measured changes are related or emanating from the tidal deformity of the ground. Other available measurements of the components of the Earth's magnetic field (included in the measurements carried out by special scientific projects in Greece and around the world) show the existence of a permanent periodic variation with a constant period of about 24 hours. The time comparison between the variations of the vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field and the measured variations of the electric field reveals a phase shift of 90 degrees. Taking into consideration the above statement, we may infer that the periodic variation of the measured electric signal is the electric component of an electromagnetic wave. It appears that this electromagnetic wave is caused by the tidal deformity of the Earth. This paper proposes a theoretical model that can justify the nature and the mechanism of genesis of that electromagnetic wave, including other electromagnetic waves emanating from the Earth's periodic tidal deformity. © 2008 Kavala Institute of Technology.
