An Amateur Vertical Component Broadband Seismometer (Model MkXX)

نویسنده

  • Allan Coleman
چکیده

A vertical component broadband (BB) seismometer, based on design ideas from numerous sources, was developed and fabricated by an amateur instrument builder in a home workshop using commonly available materials. The seismometer had a flat velocity response between 0.017-4 Hz, and sensitive enough to detect teleseismic events of magnitude 5.5 and greater from most places on earth.

Effects of 6 Weeks Aquatic Plyometric Training Program on Vertical Jump 10-14 Years Amateur Children Taekwondow Pleyers

There is a substantial evidence that plyometric training significantly increases muscular strength and vertical jump. Due to the vigorous nature of this type of training, however, there is a risk of incurring musculoskeletal injuries. Therefore, conducting plyometric exercise programs in an aquatic environment might lead to significant improvements in vertical jump with possibly a lower risk of...

Instrumentation and data processing

Two recent developments in seismometry allow the study of seismic phenomena over a broad period range. Block and Moore [1970] developed a quartz accelerometer with the required stability and sensitivity to record seismic waves as well as earth tides. The instrument, especially useful at periods greater than 80 sec, recorded free oscillations of the earth associated with an earthquake of magnitu...

Design and Construction of a Seismometer Based on the Moiré Technique: Detailed Theoretical Analysis, Experimental Apparatus, and Primary Results

We have built a vertical seismometer that works based on the moiré technique. One grating is attached to the suspended mass and one to the frame of the instrument. The two gratings are in relative motion, and the resulting moiré pattern magnifies this motion. The intensity of a light beam passing through the moving moiré fringes changes with time, and a light detecting syst...

Home seismometer for earthquake early warning

[1] The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has started the practical service of Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) and a very dense deployment of receiving units is expected in the near future. The receiving/alarm unit of an EEW system is equipped with a CPU and memory and is on-line via the internet. By adding an inexpensive seismometer and A/D converter, this unit is transformed into a real-time s...
