Earthquake early warning for mitigation and energy harvesting, atomic scale computing

Signal Decomposition and Feature Extraction Techniques: Application to Seismic Mitigation of Vibration-sensitive Eq Shieh-Kung Huang, This is very informative. I will only suggest a few things.   Vibration isolation is now needed for buildings, as an integral part of energy harvesting, to allow orders of magnitude improvement in seismometers and gravimeters, and for gravitational wave

You might like a short paper I just posted on ResearchGate. It is an April Fools paper

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/369689107_Richard_Collins_working_with_ChatGPT_Model_4_on_1_Apr_2023_to_discuss_some_simple_models_from_electrical_engineering_and_physics When I chat with GPT 4, these are the kinds of things I always wanted to discuss with real humans. I have learned its limitations and by careful adjustment to the way I write, I can get it go generate words in the directions I want to go. I realized most people cannot absorb

Project update – omega squared for high sampling rate gravimeters

Accelerometers and gradiometers get better at higher frequencies, use the Internet to multiply capabilities many fold https://www.researchgate.net/project/Solar-System-Gravimetry-and-Gravitational-Engineering These “updates” are just things I think are important to remember, and what I can find time and energy to write down. If you see something you disagree with, write me or make a comment. I got a

Calibrating all gravitational sensors into a single imaging array, Measuring speed of gravity as a routine calibration for gravitational networks

https://www.researchgate.net/project/Solar-System-Gravimetry-and-Gravitational-Engineering/ Calibrating all gravitational sensors into a single imaging array: I was thinking about this some more. The gravitational potential from the sun and moon changes significantly during the year and over the course of the day. And the absolute values (for the usual network few hundred samples per second and slower) change slowly. Your

Comment On The Normal Height Differences Determination From Geopotential Differences

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/359389325_ON_THE_NORMAL_HEIGHT_DIFFERENCES_DETERMINATION_FROM_GEOPOTENTIAL_DIFFERENCES/comments Using real time comparisons via electromagnetic signals gets more complicated. Trying to use high speed storage of the signals gets memory intensive and expensive. As much of the data is nearly the same.   The reason I used the vector tidal gravity signals for calibration and standardization is that each location can compare to

Note on my Facebook page about gravitational energy density

For more than 50 years I have been trying to understand the gravitational potential. I used it for orbit determinations when I worked at my first job at the CIA, then later worked on a NASA project to determine the geopotential itself using satellite orbits and measurements to solve for the shape and properties of
