Compound Pendulum to Monitor Hurricanes and Tropical Storms
Randall D. Peters
The period of an undamped compound pendulum has been selected to maximize the instrument's response to microseisms, when functioning as a type of horizontal seismometer. When funct…
Compton-Energy Scale of Friction Quantization
Randall D. Peters
Numerous different experiments by the author, approaching nearly two decades of study, point strongly toward the possibility that friction operates around a mesoscale quantum of en…
Measurement of Earth's Free-Oscillations using a Pendulum
Randall D. Peters
One of the best ways to measure low-frequency eigenmode oscillations of the Earth is to monitor a simple pendulum responding to tilt. A theoretical basis for the method is given, b…
Earth oscillations induced by Hurricane Katrina
Randall D. Peters
Seismograph records show that Katrina was responsible for many motions of the Earth in addition to the well known microseismic `noise' that is known to accompany oceanic disturbanc…
