Radio Tomography and Earth Vibrations

In 1983, I did radio tomography with 30 watts, looking for oil in the ground.

I found 26 oil wells over a nine state area,

and 100 of the time was accurate,

with just 30 watts of power beaming straight into solid rock.

HARP uses a billion watts,

beamed straight into the ionosphere for experiments.

Picture these strings on the piano as layers of the earth.

Each one has its own frequency.

What we used to do is

beam radio waves into the ground,

and it would vibrate any strings that were present in the ground.

We might get a sound back like...

And we'd say, that's natural gas.

We might get a sound back like...

And we'd say that's crude oil.

We were able to identify each frequency.

We accomplished this

with just 30 watts of radio power.

If you do this with a billion watts,

the vibrations are so violent

that the entire piano would shake.

In fact, the whole house would shake.

In fact, the vibrations could be so severe underground,

it could even cause an earthquake.
