- Telegeodynamics
Telegeodynamics is an electromechanical earth-resonance concept for underground seismic exploration proposed by
Nikola Tesla . [Telegeodynamics was later incorporated into his concepts ofrobotics , a precursor toBEAM s]Description
He designed this system for use in prospecting and discerning the location of underground mineral structures through the transmission of mechanical energy through the subsurface. Data from reflected and refracted signals can be analyzed to deduce the location and characteristics of underground formations. Additional non-mechanical responses to the initial
electrotelluric impulses may also be detected.The electromechanical oscillator was originally designed as a source of isochronous (that is to say,
frequency stable ), alternating electric current used with both wireless transmitting and receiving apparatus. In dynamical system theory anoscillator is called "isochronous" if the frequency is independent of its amplitude. Aelectromechanical device runs at the same rate regardless of changes in its , so it keeps correctfrequency (hz).References
