Measuring the Wavelength of Super Regeneration

[Guest guest]

Dr. Rife used the wavelength of Super Regeneration for his first few

instruments. Here is one way that this was determined. As some have pointed

out this is highly inaccurate. The use of an Oscilloscope by Hoyland to

measure the frequencies accurately gave rise to the #4 type machines.

There is someone I know who actually has a set of crystal earphones which

was once used by Dr.Rife. These are apparently very high resistance -

making them very sensitive.

Frequency Meters

Prior to the invention of the frequency counter, most frequency

measurements above the af ( audio frequency ) range were made primarily

with frequency meters.

This process involved heterodyning the frequency to be measured against the

calibrated output of the frequency meter to obtain a zero beat from which

the measured frequency was then read. This method proved inaccurate because

of reading errors.

2-14Figure 2-9.-Basic heterodyne meter (block diagram).Q-7. In a

heterodyne-type frequency meter, what is the difference between the

oscillator frequency and the unknown frequency?For all practical purposes,

the point of zero beat can be assumed when the clicks are heard at

infrequent intervals. Figure 2-10 illustrates the zero-beat concept.

Maintaining a condition of absolute silence in the earphones is extremely

difficult when you are making this measurement. When the incoming signal is

strong, the clicks are sharp and distinct. When the signal is weak, the

zero-beat condition is evidenced by a slowly changing " swishing " or

" rushing " sound in the headset. After the zerobeat is obtained, the dial

reading corresponds to the frequency measured .Figure 2-10.-Graph of sound

heard in earphone when zero beating.

Look I think you may be forgetting one thing. If you use this type of

measuring device, you can still be measuring a harmonic or 'birdie'

I think the people who have the originals wud do us all a favour if

they had the output tank circuits measured with a grid dip

Noel,

You are apparently correct! Hoyland testified in the Beam Rays trial that

Rife didn't do his measurements correctly. Hoyland used an oscilloscope (

maybe also a GDO? ) for accuracy. Apparently the correct frequencies

measured by Hoyland were used on the # 4 machine.
