Thank you Karyn for posting this interesting article. I found some information on the Communigraph that was mentioned... https://www.spiritualismlink.com/t221-communicating-without-mediums-the-communigraph JEFF -

Thanks for the comments. I perhaps was not accurate in using the term Speech Synthesis, as I appreciate it is used for ML, but in my application it is an ITC process, and not a tool for recovering voices. I therefore would say that in strict context, what I am working with is more a traditional evp process in how it functions, so I therefore retract my request, and see the appropriate section for such work would be: Instrumental Transcommunication (ITC) Audio - Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP).

8 - The Seidl Psychophone. A modern design - by Andrés Ramos
Dr Jeffers replied to Andres Ramos's topic in Experiments
Yes, I think you mean this type of coil for creating a concentrated magnetic vector potential field in the core, in much the same fashion as a standard magnetic field is concentrated in a conventional solenoid. https://patents.google.com/patent/JPWO2015099147A1/en Below are some images of the caduceus coil. A simple pictorial one showing it is just a single winding that is stretched up and down the ferrite rod, so has inductance, but reduced due to the distribution of the winding. Ive included a pic of a cad coil I made. It has an inductance of 66uH, which would be about right for th- 8 replies

8 - The Seidl Psychophone. A modern design - by Andrés Ramos
Dr Jeffers replied to Andres Ramos's topic in Experiments
Yes I replicated the experiments, and found what I thought was some degree of enhancement as a receiver of voices, but not enough to pursue with it. There is unfortunately some misinformation about the caduceus coil and its close cousin the Smith Coil. One is often called the other in descriptions, and this has discredited both, in my opinion. The Caduceus coil is essentially a continuous winding of wire spread out (up and then down) a ferrite rod, where the turns are pulled apart so the up and down windings cross evenly on 2 sides of the coil, and are at a specific angle to each other (l- 8 replies

8 - The Seidl Psychophone. A modern design - by Andrés Ramos
Dr Jeffers replied to Andres Ramos's topic in Experiments
Yes, it was quite a job, but I had the content as text within the pdf, so it wasnt too bad to export and translate this. The difficult bit was reintegrating the page images back into the translated text. Another author I spent time translating was Carlo Trajna, and his articles published in the paranormal magazine "Il Giornale dei Misteri" (The Journal of Mysteries) in the 1980's. These were in Italian, and had to OCR these before I could do the textual translation. Basically, he was experimenting with the Caduceus coil for evp reception (he called it Psychophony). In simple circuits (rau- 8 replies

8 - The Seidl Psychophone. A modern design - by Andrés Ramos
Dr Jeffers replied to Andres Ramos's topic in Experiments
This is a great innovation of the Psychofon concept Andres. I like the simplicity and use of the Pentagram antenna. I have built a couple of Psychofons over the years, and the one I got most from was a version by designed by Bernd Giwer, which used a front end high pass filter, 2 RF Amps, demodulator and audio preamp. I never thought to use a TRF chip like you have done. I think that Spirik and Loos' book is a brilliant technical treasure trove. I found a pdf copy of it, and translated most of the contents to english using google. It was worth the effort for me.- 8 replies

Michael, I agree with what you are saying. In my experimental work, the common phenomena I was seeing was the metamorphosis of voice content into messages using the vocal spectra that was available at the time. Radio sweep could do this quite well, but suffered a bad reputation as being only fragments of radio announcer's audio, which did happen unfortunately of course if the segment time was too long. I did some work on incremented step waveforms to drive the voltage tuning more efficiently, and this did improve the process. In the waveform, I basically skipped blank or poor reception areas o

Bruce Halliday Live Spirit/Ghost Box Researcher
Dr Jeffers replied to Bruce Halliday's topic in Introduce Yourself
Hi Bruce, Its a pleasure to see you here. I remember very well your RTSC podcasts I listened to, and the tremendous enthusiasm you had for this work. I have done quite a bit of work on radio sweep variants myself since then. It has some surprising merits, and as Keith says, the replacement of live voice with other forms of synthetic equivalents is an exciting prospect for its evolution towards a true science. All the best. JEFF
