    For that last device, could it have just been an antenna hooked up to a tone generator and, maybe, some sort of amplifier? It'd just beep whenever it ran into a radio wave that's the right frequency for that length of antenna.

  • @MAYERMAKES
    @MAYERMAKES 7 месяцев назад +59

    the hef4069 is a hex inverter, that is often used as a simple signal amplifier so the ghost detecotr is just picking up random noise and amplifying it until its gain is high enough to drive the piezo/led.

    The EMF meter is useful for the detection of power in the case of power outage and detection of certain types of interference to know if you are having problems with transmissions and such. This said even if it was sold as an overpriced ghost detector you can still use it for certain types of troubleshooting and many other things. I would however recommend one with a pinpoint option.

  • @mathiasgentech6217
    @mathiasgentech6217 7 месяцев назад +7

    so dark fang is a field detector of sorts. You place on the ground and stand away from it. If it it beeps it means something is close to the antenna. Anything being close to the antenna sets it off. There is a device referred to as a REM-Pod that works the same way, but has other functions as well. Hope this helps.

  • @zeke7515

    Spoopitron reminds me very much of a VR/Flat game called Scanner Sombre. In this game you use a Lidar gun to walk around a pitch black cave and light your way through using a point cloud you create. It's an incredible thriller game that gets spookier the deeper you get into this cave system. The Spoop even looks like the device you use.

    The fact that it only changes values when the meter is moving isn't the device trying to "horn swaggle" you, it's Lenz's Law. Moving medium has an induced current due to magnetic field, and the device measures the current induced. At least that's what I understand, I have no idea if this is standard for emf detectors but it makes sense logically.
