Storm Detector circuit

Published:2012/9/21 2:34:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: Storm Detector | From:SeekIC

This storm detector circuit is very easy to build. It has a sensitive amplifier and one antenna, that togheter can detect storms at large distance. The antenna has 220 turns of enamelled copper on a square wooden frame with a side of 85 cm. The wire diameter is not so important, 0.4 mm is enough. In parallel with the end windings a capacitor is connected in order to obtain a tuned antenna on a frequency between 4 to 5 kHz. The antenna is connected through 2 twisted wires to the amplifier. The output signal can be applied to an audio amplifier or an oscilloscope in order to hear or see the signal.
