TECHNIQUE DETECTING GEOENERGY-ACTIVE ZONES AND GEAR FOR ITS REALIZATION Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: bringing to light geologic, man-made and other objects hidden in entrails of the Earth with use of geoelectromagnetic waves emitted by these objects. SUBSTANCE: technique can be employed in search and prospecting for mineral resources, intrusions, tectonic dislocations, etc. Parameters of photon radiation emerging with relaxation of atoms and molecules of inert gas, for instance, helium, excited under action of geoelectromagnetic waves in infrared, optical and ultraviolet ranges of spectrum in geoenergy-active zone of tested area. Devices recording photon radiation, for example, photodiodes are positioned in airship envelope filled with inert gas, for instance, helium with density less than that of air. Envelope is manufactured from soft material letting in electromagnetic waves but reflecting photons thanks to light-tight layer covering its internal surface. Car of airship is equipped with power unit, control mechanisms, cockpit and with electrophysical equipment to record and determine parameters of photon radiation. Airship has length multiple of characteristic cross-section dimension of lithospheric waveguide and its capacity lies within limits of 2-2000 thousand cu m. Airship flies around examined territory along certain routes at altitude from several tens to one hundred meters and records photon radiation. EFFECT: provision for continuous geophysical survey, avoidance of necessity to use complex, expensive and bulky equipment for direct recording of geoelectromagnetic radiation. 2 cl, 1 dwg
