seisometer (extra detection device)?

perhaphs seismic information can be added next to lightning detection …

eg for seisometers:

build your own:

additional info:

Any idea how much they cost. I assume they’re expensive because the sites don’t mention a price :frowning:

I’ve requested a summary of just what they have, the prices and required software.

Told them I’d post the info here.

Some of the pages indicate a price around $100 US. That was for a unit built by the supplier on a protoboard.

Understand he now has available printed circuit boards.

Looked over the circuity. Not much there that is expensive. The design uses a PIC chip for the magic and just a few more IC’s. Of course, the PIC has to be programmed by the supplier. Changes in software require a new PIC from the supplier.

I’ve built a number of projects around PIC chips. They are an elegant solution to what would have required really complicated circuitry.

A good idea for those who live near volcanoes perhaps as large eruptions would affect weather patterns. But not much use to the majority so not sure it would be necessary to link in to Weather Display as seismology is different to meteorology. WD should only have functions that would be used by a lot of people to make it worthwhile IMHO

indeed Martin, Your right in a way

I see the WD more broad: as environmental detection …
Whatif one adds CO2 and NOx, SOx, O3 detectors and coupled it on this WD …
imagine the use and possibilities, altoug these parameters don’t influence te weather directly, certainly not aerthquakes
BUT on long term CO2, NOx, SOx lead to ozon problems etc
… It’s just an idea …

Oh dear, please don’t tempt Brian like that, he’ll never sleep again :frowning:

Hi,
a Seismograph would come handy here in Kiwiland,
we have few small Earthquakes here mostly on a
daily sequence, I have a link to a Seismograph Drum
on my website.
