Nancy on Equipment:-
Priceless.
The vast majority of equipment and supplies used in developing the Hutchison technology were "junk" that people wanted to just get rid of, or that John literally scavenged (as in dumpster diving).
John has found (and I concur) that what is purchased at Home Depot, Radio Shack, etc. is the real "junk".
By understanding the basics of how things work, quality and consistent results can be accomplished using really nice scavenged parts.
For example:
The mobile anti-radiation units.
Components---a penny, a rusty bolt, litz wire (old, used litz better than new), piece of 1/2" copper pipe (old, used pipe better than new), rochelle salts, galena, finely crushed quartz...and magnetite, collected from the beach using a magnet scavenged from a blown speaker. Magnetic field for recording is created by using the core of an old, scavenged starter motor (activated by speaker wires carrying the tones.
If you have a list of components that you think you need, I would be happy discussing with you proper scavenging.
However, the components you think you need, may not be what you actually need.
You may need some sand from the beach.
