Mars Curiosity- Replicating the weak field at Gale Crater

Artist concept of Mars Curiosity - NASA

Today is a special day of celebration as NASA’s Mars Curiosity was launched into orbit and performed a flawless separation on its way to Mars for an August 2012 landing in or near Gale crater. Watch separation video.

In advance of the August landing, the weak area-specific molecular field of Mars can be replicated (what it feels like) by matching a Mars meteorite directly or extracting the field from an audio recording similar to the one made by the descending Huygens space probe on Saturn’s moon Titan. I know this because of a particular pattern recognition ability I have with weak electromagnetic fields. It is a similar process to that of developing the skill of human echolocation but in this case it is the skill of interpreting weak electromagnetic fields and their physiological effect on the body and most likely other biological life.

Unfortunately, the scientific community has not recognized the value of audio recordings for extracting these underlying weak fields. None of the Mars rovers were designed with microphones. This leaves us with matching the field of Mars meteorites for a close approximation of what Mars feels like. I extracted the weak field from a video of Mars meteorite ALH84001. This was a little tricky as only a short segment of the video had live audio near the specimen. Even so, I was able to make a good approximate field match.

If you were at Gale crater with the Mars rover Curiosity, this is what the area-specific field (composite molecular structure) would be similar to. This is a replication of Mars as a designer compound electromagnetic field emanating from an audio coil. You can recreate this field either by playing the mp3 audio file or by tuning material such as a glass, silicone wristband or inexpensive magnetic tape. Learn more on tuning material here.

SETI and Apollo- Extracting Apollo 12 CSM Yankee Clipper Transit Frequency from Astronaut Voice Recordings

Apollo 12 CSM Yankee Clipper - NASA

There may be another way of “Deciphering Celestial Signals” using current technology of radio telescopes. The article written by Dr Gerry Harp at the SETI Institute discusses new ways of interpreting these signals for signs of extraterrestrial life with the Paul Allen Telescope Array. Because of the long distance, the alien’s message is distorted and buried in static. The static can be overcome by listening for a long time or building a larger telescope. Overcoming the distortion is still pretty-much an unsolved problem which I find quite fascinating. “We use computer tools to expand what it means to “look” at the data. By doing something we call “projecting the data,” we look at the data from a different angle or in a different light”.

What is not commonly known, is there is another method to look for signs of extraterrestrial life but we will have to got back to the Apollo Lunar missions where these signals are frozen in time as astronaut voice recordings. Analyzing these recordings in a new light offers a novel venue to glean information that is lying undiscovered within the electromagnetic frequencies that were radioed back to earth. Researchers can then apply these same techniques for deciphering celestial signals. The key is human pattern recognition of electromagnetic fields that can eventually be designed into search algorithms

I know this because of a particular pattern recognition ability I have with weak electromagnetic fields. It is a similar process to that of developing the skill of human echolocation but in this case it is the skill of interpreting weak electromagnetic fields and their physiological effect on the body and most likely other biological life.

Instead of debating the possibility that this type of pattern recognition exists, I will put together an example for others to validate that will show the approximate times the Apollo 12 Command Service Module (CSM) Yankee Clipper passes overhead the astronauts who are donning their spacesuits inside the Lunar Module (LM) Intrepid which is now is resting on the lunar surface. The maximum shift in the electromagnetic frequency that indicates the presence of the orbiting CSM will occur shortly after it passes overhead and will gradually decrease until communication is lost ( loss of signal LOS) as the CSM moves on to the lunar farside.

This is all possible because of the Apollo 12 Bernie Scrivener audio tapes recorded at the Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station Canberra, Australia.

Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station 1969 by Hamish Lindsay

Though we are listening to the recorded audio of the astronauts, what is being analyzed are the audio signals moving through the electrical coil of the speaker creating an electromagnetic field and not the mechanical sound waves generated by the speaker. Within this field is a gradual increase in the field frequency, perhaps similar to a doppler shift, that indicates the presence of the Yankee Clipper as it passes overhead. Below is a chart of the orbits of the Yankee Clipper. I circled the landing site of Apollo 12 LM Intreped in blue and the loss of signal (LOS) location is marked in yellow.

Here is the audio segment of the voice communications made by the Apollo 12 astronauts as an mp3 audio file. The transcript of the communications is below where astronauts Pete Conrad and Alan Bean are donning there spacesuits in the LM Intrepid as Richard Gordan is passing overhead in the CSM. I marked the approximate times where the frequency begins to shift upwards, rises to a maximum and then gradually decrease as the Yankee Clipper passes out of communication line of sight.

114:48:54 Bean: Will do, Pete. Will do.

114:48:55 Conrad: I’ll get you all buttoned up. (Pause)

114:48:58 Bean: Looks fine. Let me pull your visors down a little bit.

114:49:00 Conrad: Yeah; that a boy.

114:49:02 Bean: Good. Let me get these…(Garbled)

114:49:03 Conrad: Okay; let’s leave my gloves off while I get your helmet and visor on.

114:49:06 Bean: All right.

114:49:08 Conrad: Your helmet. Hand me that (LEVA) and I’ll hold it for you. (Pause)

114:49:13 Bean: There you go. Let me slide that on my head. (Pause; helmet clacking noises) I’ll hold it up if you’ll…

114:49:32 Conrad: Locked.

114:49:33 Bean: No, no.

114:49:35 Conrad: Oh, wait a minute.

[Frequency is beginning to shift upwards]

114:49:38 Bean: Okay?

114:49:39 Conrad: Locked.

114:49:40 Bean: Looks good. Everything looks…

114:49:44 Conrad: Hold everything just a second. (Pause) Okay. (Pause) Wait a minute. Yeah; I checked that for you.

114:49:59 Bean: Okay. (Pause)

114:50:06 Conrad: Okay.

114:50:07 Bean: Super. (Pause)

114:50:12 Conrad: There you go.

114:50:13 Bean: Okay. Oh, look; (garbled).

114:50:17 Conrad: Hold up your PLSS and…Wait a minute; let me get all of this out first. (Pause) Out and about. (Pause) There you go.

114:50:31 Bean: Okay. (Pause) Okay; what does it (the checklist) say next?

114:50:38 Conrad: Now we need a set of gloves.

[Close to maximum shift in frequency

114:50:39 Bean: Okay.

114:50:40 Conrad: Now, let me just turn real slow. (Pause)

114:50:48 Gibson: Yankee Clipper, Houston. One minute to LOS. And we'll be giving you a P22 Pad at AOS.

(Long Pause) Yankee Clipper; Houston. 30 seconds to LOS.

[Frequency begins to drop.]

114:51:25 Gordon: Roger. See you next pass.

[Comm Break.

Dick Gordon in (Command Service Module) is just about to go behind the Moon.

114:51:55 Conrad: Boy, you can tell those are brand new gloves; I can hardly get my fingers down 'em. (Pause) (Garbled)

114:52:21 Conrad: Before you cover your wrist (with the outer gauntlet), let me check your (wrist) lock (as per checklist). (And) check mine. (Pause)

[Frequency has shifted down to base line]

The key insight is that the electromagnetic frequencies, in the form of voice communications, contain information (frequency shifts) that indicate the approach and transit of a spacecraft 60 nautical miles above the surface. Though I do not understand the underlying physics as to why this is occurring, detecting the doppler-like shift in the frequency in the audio recordings, as subtle as they are, is possible. Researchers now know where to look for the data. The compound electromagnetic frequency matches extracted from the audio recording indicating the presence of the orbiting Yankee Clipper can be requested by researchers investigating this process.

Planet Hunters finds a “Precious Discovery” RR Lyrae Star

Williamina_Paton_Stevens_Fleming wikipedia

A 1901 Astrophysical Journal paper by Pickering provides a list of sixty four new variables, one of which — a star in the constellation Lyra — was found using the method above on a plate from July 13, 1899. Examination of this plate by one of Pickering’s staff, Williamina Fleming, revealed a short-period, high amplitude star (aavso.org).
In nine years, she (Fleming) catalogued more than 10,000 stars. During her work, she discovered 59 gaseous nebulae, over 310 variable stars, and 10 novae. In 1907, she published a list of 222 variable stars she had discovered (wikipedia).

RR Lyrae variables are periodic variable stars, commonly found in globular clusters, and often used as standard candles to measure galactic distances.” It is roughly estimated that out of the 200 billion stars in our Milky Way galaxy only 85,000 may be RR Lyrae stars. “They are extensively used in globular cluster studies, and also used to study chemical properties of older stars.” (wikipedia) More on RR Lyrae stars at earthsky.org.

The Kepler spacecraft is monitoring a section of our galaxy that consists of approximately 150,000 stars. In a science paper J.M. Benkő et al dated 22 July 2010, the Kepler science team has identified only 29 of them as RR Lyrae stars, and of those only 14 exhibit Blazhko modulations. It now appears that Planet Hunters has found another RR Lyrae star with Blazhko modulation.

Planet Hunters Light Curve APH23036769

Pattern recognition of light curves at Planet Hunters has helped the Kepler science team find an unlisted RR Lyrae star. It was hiding, so to speak, in the star field background presenting itself as light contamination in the light curve above. Pattern recognition is all about acting on your hunches. This light curve seemed unusual and I took the next step of running the star’s light curve data through a periodogram generator and this is what presented itself:

Periodogram of light curve APH23036769- KID 3448787

When you see this type of pattern in a periodogram, it is a strong indication of the star being an RR Lyrae. Kian Jek, known as Kianjin, at Planet Hunters forum is a co-discoverer of this star. Without his taking an interest in educating members about RR Lyrae stars and what to look for, this find would have been passed by. Kian analyzed the light curve I submitted in the “Discussions” section and this is what he came up with:

I was pretty sure the RRL pattern is in the star itself, just masked by errors in photometry and/or post processing. Here’s how the undetrended but Kepler processed light curve looks like, Q1 to Q3:

Graph by Kian Jek

It’s strange that Q1 doesn’t show any pulsations. Q2 is definitely distorted by the fp16 problem, but even Q3 has some funky distortions of its own. So what I did was to take the raw flux from Q3 alone, detrended it myself and here’s what I got – an RRL-like light curve complete with Blazhko modulation!

Graph by Kian Jek

I’m pretty sure this is what the star should look like, and here’s the final phased waveform:

Graph by Kian Jek

Here is what Dr Chris Lintott (Zookeeper) had to say about this discovery:

Good news! I’ve heard back from our friends in the Kepler team, and this star is interesting and indeed new to them, so this is another #discovery for Planet Hunters! Congratulations, Tom128 (Thomas Lee Jacobs) for spotting it, and Kianjin (Kian Jek) for the analysis. They’re going to do a detailed analysis – indeed, they’ve already started – and keep us informed. Obviously if it makes a paper then full credit will go to you two.

Some extra details; the reason that the variation appears and disappears between quarters might be because it’s a background star; this would explain the small amplitude and if the processing used on different quarters included different parts of the image then that would explain why it comes and goes.

They also say “Any new RRLs – especially the modulated ones – are of great value and very much appreciated! Kepler provides excellent light curves and delivers surprising new discoveries on #RRLyrae stars,” so do tag anything you find. As Robert Szabo, one of the scientists says : ‘Congratulations to this precious discovery’.

Both Kian Jek and Dr. Szabo suspected that the RR Lyrae star that was presenting itself in the original light curve was manifesting itself as light contamination. Here is what Chris Lintott had to say:

Robert Szabo sent me the following image, which is a pixel by pixel light curve for the star.

Graph by Dr. Robert Szabo- Kepler Science Team

Note – You can see the light contamination in the original light curve as Blazhko modulation in the four right columns of the chart.

As he says, it indeed confirms that the RRL star is not the originally proposed and observed 3448787. In the other figure, below, he shows a fainter star (Kp~17.6) which I suspect is the variable. Its KIC ID is 3448777. The third brighter star forming a ‘line’ with 3448787 and 3448777 toward the upper right corner is 3448767. Unfortunately neither 3448777 nor 3448767 were observed by Kepler, but we’re going to see what we can do to change that.

This brings me back to pattern recognition at Planet Hunters and RR Lyrae star clues in the light curves as light contamination. I will show two examples of Kepler light curves indicating that a RR Lyrae star is somewhere in the star field contaminating the light curve of interest. The first is the one already posted and discussed in this article. The second is from an already known RR Lyrae star.

Planet Hunters Light Curve APH23036769

Planet Hunters Light Curve APH22143475

Notice that both light curves have a thick line running along the lower edge of the curve along with modulated pulsations, though distorted. These are clues that an RR Lyrae may lie in the star field that is contaminating the light curve. In the case of the second example, it is the grandmother of all the RR Lyrae star types discovered by Williamina Fleming on July 13, 1899.

Experiencing Saturn’s Moon Titan- A Weak Molecular Magnetic Field Replication

Titan Globe - wikipedia

The ongoing Cassini Solstice Mission to Saturn offers us a unique way to replicate the area-specific weak molecular magnetic field of Titan, one of Saturn’s moons. We can recreate this field from the audio recording made by the Huygens probe as it descended through the atmosphere to the surface. “Huygens separated from the Cassini orbiter on December 25, 2004, and landed on Titan on January 14, 2005 near the Xanadu region.” “This was the first time in history that audible sounds from another planetary body had been recorded.” Watch the descent video here.

Artist's Impression Huygens on Titan- NASA

Area-specific weak molecular magnetic fields can be extracted from audio recordings and have a physiological effect on the body. You can read more on how these weak fields can be replicated here and here. The key insight is that more advanced simulations, using the area-specific weak fields of other planetary bodies, can be used by NASA for training astronauts for future space missions. The field replication can be made by tuning items using the designer frequency that are held or worn on the body as well as using specially designed electrical coils. You can learn more about tuning material on the “Sample Frequencies” page here.

I know this because of a particular pattern recognition ability I have with weak electromagnetic fields. It is a similar process to that of developing the skill of human echolocation but in this case it is the skill of interpreting weak electromagnetic fields and their physiological effect on the body and most likely other biological life.

The use of audio recordings on space probes and other robotic missions to planetary bodies offer a new approach to analyzing these area-specific weak molecular magnetic fields. Similar to the Apollo missions, an atmosphere for sound recording can be brought with the probes and rovers where no atmosphere exists.

I extracted the area-specific molecular magnetic field frequencies from the actual audio recorded by the on board microphone on the Huygens probe as it descended by parachute to the surface of Titan. Below is the link to the area-specific weak field of Titan as an mp3 audio file. This is what Titan feels like. Watch the video here.

Walking with Apollo 12 in Surveyor Crater- A Weak Molecular Magnetic Field Replication

Apollo Intrepid and Surveyor 3- NASA

Apollo 12 landed on the Lunar surface in the Ocean of Storms on November 19, 1969. Astronauts Pete Conrad and Alan Bean made two Moon walks (EVA). On the second EVA, they descended into Surveyor crater collecting rock samples on their way down to the Surveyor 3 spacecraft.

Apollo 12 site: Traverse map- NASA

One of the rock samples collected was 12407 on the northeast side of Surveyor crater as the astronauts initially made their way around the crater rim. I marked the area in yellow where the sample was collected on the NASA Lunar sample map below:

Apollo 12 Lunar Sample Map- NASA

The Museum of Flight located in Seattle, WA has on display a portion of the Apollo 12 Lunar sample 12407 now labeled as 12407,6.

In my article on replicating the weak magnetic field of Havasu Falls in the Grand Canyon, I discuss in more detail how area-specific magnetic fields are generated from the atomic arrangement of bonded atoms in their molecular form. The area-specific weak fields can be extracted from audio recorded at these sites as well as matched directly from geological samples. Weak magnetic fields have a physiological effect on biological systems.

I know this because of a particular pattern recognition ability I have with weak electromagnetic fields. It is a similar process to that of developing the skill of human echolocation but in this case it is the skill of interpreting weak electromagnetic fields and their physiological effect on the body and most likely other biological life.

Two sources for replicating the weak molecular magnetic field at Surveyor crater are the actual audio voice recordings of the astronauts when they made their way into the crater and also by a direct match from the Lunar sample 12407,6 at the Museum of Flight. It is now possible to incorporate these weak field matches into an audio visual simulation of this Moon walk via a recreated electromagnetic field from an electrical coil and also by wearing material tuned to the area specific weak fields of Surveyor crater. We are taking Lunar surface simulation to the next level through the addition of these weak magnetic fields that the body recognizes. They are the same weak fields that the Apollo 12 astronauts encountered at the crater.

I have created two mp3 audio files for the weak molecular magnetic fields at Surveyor crater. The first mp3 is the matched compound frequencies of the Apollo 12 Lunar sample 12407,6 that represents the area-specific weak field the astronauts encountered at the crater. As they descend into Surveyor crater this baseline field changes as they approach the surveyor spacecraft. The magnetic field elevates due to the material makeup of the spacecraft. In a way, Pete Conrad and Alan Bean act as biological sensors as the changes in the weak fields are captured in their voice communications.

Remember, it is not the mechanical sound waves from your speaker that we are focusing on when you play the mp3 files but the oscillating electromagnetic field emanating from your speaker’s audio coil. This weak field has a physiological effect on the body and is the basis of the field replication for Surveyor crater.

Elevated Weak Field due to Surveyor 3 Spacecraft

Below is the audio transcript of the Apollo 12 astronauts at Surveyor crater. I have marked on the transcript the approximate time when the weak molecular magnetic field begins to elevate as they approach the Surveyor 3 spacecraft. Both the actual audio recording I used to extract the weak Lunar fields and transcript are from NASA’s Apollo 12 Lunar Surface Journal and the Bernie Scrivener Audio Tapes.

133:51:35 Gibson: Roger. We copy those comments. Pete and Al, we show you’re 2 plus 23 into the EVA and, based on a 4-hour EVA, you would be leaving the Surveyor at 2 plus 50. But don’t rush; we’d like to make sure you get a good rest before you go into it (the crater).

133:51:51 Conrad: Okay.

133:51:52 Bean: Why don’t you give me a rock or two, Pete? And I will stick in there. Got any spares? (Pause) There you go. Good rock. Good rock! (Pause)

133:52:07 Conrad: (Chuckling) The world’s greatest juggling act. (Garbled)

133:52:11 Bean: Okay. That’ll be it. (To Ed) We just made a sample of a glass bead and some local rock on the south edge of the Surveyor Crater, Houston. And they’re going into bag 14D.

133:52:29 Gibson: 14D.

133:52:30 Conrad: (Garbled) brings back all of our training. I’m trying to remember who the guy was that kept saying “whatever you do, don’t get dust on the gnomon.” (Hearty laughter from both) Okay. We are going to jog on here for a little bit, Houston, and get a little bit closer to the Surveyor and look her over. (Pause)

133:52:55 Bean: Yeah. Hey, that’s…coming in from the south; looks like a good way, Pete.

133:52:59 Conrad: I’ll tell you what I’m going to do, Al. I am just gonna lope right around here.

133:53:02 Bean: That’s what I mean. If you stay at this level, you’ll end up at Surveyor.

133:53:05 Conrad: You’re right.

133:53:07 Bean: Follow the contour lines.

133:53:08 Conrad: No problem at all, Houston! (Pause) Look at the (Surveyor) scoop sticking out. You couldn’t see that before.

133:53:18 Gibson: Pete and Al, could you give us a comment on how far you’re sinking in?

133:53:24 Conrad: Not sinking in very far at all. This is fairly firm stuff. And I’m down in the crater about the same distance down that Surveyor is. I’m just going around it radially (means “circumferentially”). Wouldn’t you say so, Al?

133:53:41 Bean: Yeah, I would say that…I think Houston is just as concerned about us getting down in this crater. We been thinking about it, too, Houston. (Garbled under Pete)

133:53:47 Conrad: Okay. Yeah, don’t worry about it, Houston, because, really, it’s no strain; I’m 200 feet away from it; I’m at the same level; the ground is firm; and I can go right back up the way I came down with no strain at all.

133:54:02 Bean: That’s right.

133:54:03 Gibson: Roger. Sounds good.

133:54:04 Bean: It’s just exactly the way we thought it was going to be when we were talking about it. (Responding to Ed) Yeah, it is. I don’t think there’ll be any sweat about it.

Note by Tom Jacobs: This is the approximate time that the base line weak field begins to elevate. The astronauts are about 200 feet away from Surveyor 3.

133:54:09 Conrad: Al, I’ll tell you what let’s do. Get right over here, and we’ll park all of our gear, take ourselves a little rest, go over your photo plan, and then we’ll have at it.

Here is a video I put together a while back on the weak area-specific weak field frequencies of Apollo 12 at Surveyor crater.

Havasu Falls- A Weak Molecular Magnetic Field Replication

Havasu Falls in the Grand Canyon by Mutbka

One of the key insights from my working with weak magnetic fields in nature is that the area- specific molecular makeup of an area can be replicated by an oscillating electromagnetic field generated by an audio coil. When we generally think of an audio coil as part of a speaker it is in terms of an electromagnet that moves back and forth moving a paper cone to create sound waves. Little thought is given to the electromagnetic field emanating from this coil.

I know this because of a particular pattern recognition ability I have with weak electromagnetic fields. It is a similar process to that of developing the skill of human echolocation but in this case it is the skill of interpreting weak electromagnetic fields and their physiological effect on the body and most likely other biological life.

What is it describing beyond audible noises picked up from a microphone and converted eventually into mechanical sound waves generated by your speaker? Actually something very significant, the microphone is also picking up the area-specific weak molecular magnetic field that represents the vibrating atoms, in the medium of sound, while in their molecular bonded form. Essentially these “Noisy” atoms are an underlying part of the audio signal. They can be detected and extracted from the electromagnetic field of the audio coil and replicated. These replicated fields have a physiological effect on biological systems. Here is an interesting article discussing the impact of physiologically-patterned weak magnetic fields on the human body. What is also important to understand is that naturally occurring weak magnetic fields in nature have similar if not more pronounced effects.

There are weak magnetic fields in nature and other planetary bodies that are element/mineral specific, area-specific and regional specific. These weak fields also extend miles out from the surface. There is a unique weak magnetic field signature for biological life forms as well.

There are two ways to replicate a targeted weak magnetic field. One is via an electrical audio coil-generated electromagnetic field (playing the extracted compound frequencies) and the other is by tuning material with the designer electromagnetic field. The difference between tuning and magnetizing is that the tuning process imprints the new field into that of the host material that is non magnetic. It also enhances the molecular magnetic field of the material. The process is very similar to magnetization in that the material can be re-tuned. However, it will never lose the field enhancement. One way to think of it is creating a weak electromagnetic field in another material that is the same as the original source weak electromagnetic field.

I have independently discovered this tuning process using designer oscillating electromagnetic fields but have recently solved a mystery concerning Nikola Tesla’s work in this area with anodized aluminum, often called Tesla Plates on the internet. He or those influenced by his work knew about this process but kept it under wraps. My independent discovery of how to tune with designer oscillating electromagnetic fields solves this mystery. My work with replicating weak magnetic fields in nature may be unique.

Here is the extracted the weak magnetic field from this video of Havasu Falls in the Grand Canyon, Arizona. You can play it below as a mp3 audio file for tuning material such as a silicone wristband, glass or anodized aluminum. Remember, we are focusing on the electromagnetic field emanating from your speaker coil and not the down steam mechanical sound waves.

Mitigating Joint Pain- A Second Look at Tuning the Weak Molecular Magnetic Field of Quartz Sand

Tuning 1/4 cup of quartz sand taped to speaker

Today is the 4th of July in the U.S. and a special time of celebration and remembrance of the sacrifices made for freedom. From a personal standpoint, it is the liberty to discuss Avant-garde ideas and processes that could change Scientific consensus on how magnetism operates with molecular structures as well as area-specific weak fields in nature. It may eventually change how medical therapies are delivered, perhaps at a lower cost and with better results. Designer weak electromagnetic fields may also work as a synergism to current methods. You can read more about the background to the tuning process here and here.

I know this because of a particular pattern recognition ability I have with weak electromagnetic fields. It is a similar process to that of developing the skill of human echolocation but in this case it is the skill of interpreting weak electromagnetic fields and their physiological effect on the body and most likely other biological life.

So, today I am revisiting tuning quartz sand with the electrical audio coil in your speaker to help mitigate joint pain. The conundrum is that quartz does not have magnetic properties though it does have piezoelectric properties.  My view is that some type of composite weak field is permanently created by the application of a designer compound lower electromagnetic frequency that interestingly occurs in the sound frequency range. This is a very key insight, Nature responds to lower electromagnetic frequencies.

I tune with a relatively low wattage of approximately six watts using the electrical coil from an old computer speaker I took apart. The good news is that you do not have to disassemble your speaker and can tune quartz sand using your speaker the way it is with sound. The electromagnetic field emanating from the speaker is sufficiently strong enough to perform the tuning as shown in the photograph at the beginning of this article. Below is a photograph of the coil I tune with.

Tuning with an electrical coil without sound

The method I use to determine if a specific designer compound frequency is effective is through feedback from individuals using the tuned material. Tuning quartz sand to the “Gentle Balancing” frequency is effective in mitigating joint pain. It is also inexpensive and easy to use as the sand can be molded around the joint.  You can also watch a video I put together on tuning quartz sand here.

A five pound bag of quartz sand can be purchased at your local pet supply house. It is relatively inexpensive.

The benefits of tuning quartz sand is its ability to mold around the part of the body that hurts. That is a drawback with silicone wristbands, tuned pendants, etc., that work well on the wrist or around the neck but have reduced effectiveness for other areas of the body. Quartz sand, in itself, has some other benefits in creating a stronger healing field due to the increased surface area of the tuned sand particles.

I highly recommend that you purchase a second, used pair of computer speakers when tuning using this process if you plan to tune often. And no, you do not have to take them apart to expose the electrical coil. You can play them at a moderately loud volume setting using the designer mp3 audio files listed on page 2. As the noise will be loud, leave the room while tuning for about 30 minutes.

Place 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the quartz sand in a ziploc sandwich bag. There may be fine quartz dust in the mix so limit your handling to transferring a small amount into the bag. The fine dust particles could be an inhalation issue though to a very minimal degree if handled properly. After all, people use the sand for their reptile habitats. Pure silica sand has more issues in this regard. I double bag the sand so none can leak out.

Tape the ziploc bag to your speaker as shown at the top of the page. The next step is to play the mp3 audio file on your media player in “repeat mode” with the volume set to moderately high volume. Play for 30 minutes and the tuning will be complete. Remember, if you place the tuned sand near a strong magnet or magnetic field, the designer magnetic field will be corrupted. Otherwise the tuning is permanent.


Once tuned, the quartz sand can be molded around the area that hurts on the body. My wife has an ankle issue and this application helps. You can also carry the bag in your pocket or coat pocket (the magnetic field will easily move through clothing) or secure it to the place that hurts with a loosely wrapped piece of cloth. The tuned sand itself can also be poured into a small plastic or glass container the size of a pendant to carry around. It doesn’t take much tuned quartz sand to be helpful. You will have to experiment and find out for yourself what works best.

Have a great celebration of your personal freedoms today and everyday for the common good.
