Lightning Power in the Ancient World - Geoffrey Drumm, DemystifySci #412

I remember a principle from when I studied NMR that the shorter the duration a pulse of electromagnetic radiation is the broader the spectrum it produces. Although a lightning strike might last about 0.5 seconds it comprises numerous strokes lasting 60-70 microseconds which is even shorter than the pulse typically used in NMR. The spectrum produced by a lightning strike can range from < 1 Hz up to gamma rays of > 10^18 Hz even though the bulk of emission is in the radio region. I think that if the pyramids are oscillators of some kind then they might be able to trap not only a fundamental frequency but also numerous harmonics above it.

This is the kind of idea that once its accepted will have seemed obvious this whole time.

Seriously this guy is detailing something soooooo profound and its like not enough exposure. You guys rock!!!!!

Ever try listening to AM radio during a thunder storm?

This is so cool. I've always been rightfully skeptical of people claiming the pyramids had some other purpose ... because the people making such claims were just pulling BS out of their whoo hoos ... Unfortunately, I don't have the background to evaluate anything he's proposing but at least he seems to be doing science. Interesting.

great talk. i think the concept of corona discharge should be considered here. a pointy structure in a vast plain. dry thunderstorms could sustain it for hours. my expirience with corona discharge is that cloud to ground lightning 10 km away equalize the electric field only for a few seconds. then it builds up again. it produces audiable radio frequencies. mt sinai is known for st elmos. i have a freind who was there and saw the tips of rocks glow. there is a distinct hiss due to the high frequency plasma streamers. lightning sounds to instantenious to harnest but its a good direction.

Can't wait to hear more and I'm so glad you guys are able to critically test these theories unlike so many podcasters out there

RE the 32 kHz vs 100 Hz at 26:00 in ---- when the chemicals are introduced, the resonant frequencies (there are several physical nodes) change mightily, like an arena filling with bodies changes room sound and response from sound-check and so you have Front-of-House engineers constantly listening, measuring, tweaking.

So, was the collaborator from the Thinderbolts Project Andrew Hall? I seem to remember him doing a video about the electric nature of pyramids for the purpose of generating fertilizer. It makes sense that ancient peoples would invest enormous amounts of work effort to build a pyramid because there was a huge benefit for society, in the form of a commodity that improved agricultural productivity.
