DIY Magnetometer/Seismometer Combo

June 4th, 2012 by admin Leave a reply »

Yesterday there was a small M3.5 earthquake about 15 miles from my home. I have a DIY torsion magnetometer that is constantly running and recording data. The swinging of the free-hanging mirror caused by the earthquake was recorded too (see the snapshot to the right). So, this is now officially a magnetometer/seismograph combo.
