Previously we covered generating an AC current from a small piece of granite and a drill:

This time we explore measuring this phenomenon through water! What we see is that the frequency is measured from a piece of granite only connected to the impinged granite by a shared water connection.
Its my theory that frequency was safely pushed through Egyptian private waterways and baths of the upper class to provide energy from a centralized source.
But how does this work?
RECAP TIME:
Piezoelectric effect - one of the properties of quartz crystal (along with capacitance, inductance, and resistance) wherein a physical force applied to the structure will generate current. If compress the electrons flow one way, if stretched the electrons flow the other way. Thus, a constant impingment will result in Alternating Currents.
Conductive Granite - Granite when wet becomes very conductive!
"Near room temperature, a monolayer of water will decrease the electrical resistivity by an order of magnitude. Several weight-percent water may decrease the electrical resistivity by as much as nine orders of magnitude and decrease the thermal activation energy by a factor of five."

The most interesting part of this experiment is the fact of how much HIGHER the frequency climbs when the granite is wet! Compare the readings of the volt meter from this video to my last! It climbs from several hundred to several thousand with water.
Also the Amps and Voltage are super low in this. I don't think when I did this experiment I even got a reading for either, but the frequency came through. The strange thing about how we deal with frequency today is almost nothing like this. But using a modern Frequency to Voltage converter, you can draw on a high frequency system and output a useable voltage. The question becomes. Did the Ancient Egyptians have something like this?
YES!
As we see in this demonstration, the simple principle of transferring from one piezoelectric material to another. Remember the granite is not ONE crystal! Its MANY crystals across the granite. And when wet, the granite connects all of these pieces together. Some will vibrate while others will generate AC in reaction to that vibration.
Do you see where I am going with this yet?
No? Stay tuned.
