another pvc-cb modification

I love fall. That nip in the air, colorful leaves, and a perfect time for upgrading the cloudbuster.

I decided to include a programmable mp3 player instead of the frequency generator I installed last year. I found these orgonite devices work so much better using variable tones instead of a constant square wave frequency and programming an mp3 is as easy as turning on your TV. Besides, the internet is full of sites that have just what you need, as far as tones and tunes go. I chose eight Solfeggio based tunes that last approximately 10 minutes each. The mp3 will automatically repeat this selection as soon as it's finished and continue until it's turned off or runs out of charge. And that poses a little problem, especially if you want it to last more than a couple hours. The lithium battery won't hold a charge for very long and running an extension cord 50 yards is out of the question. The only way to do this is to make it self contained with a system that can constantly charge the mp3.

A quick inventory showed I had everything I needed to make this work, at least for now. All I needed was a large battery that could be recharged, a car lighter-USB adapter, some ear buds, speaker wire, and a solar panel. The solar panel will have to wait because I didn't feel like shelling out 30 bucks to Radio Shack.

The hardest part about this project was tapping into those tiny wires on the mp3 ear buds. Those wires are tiny and cutting off a section of the insulation required an exacto knife and a jewelers glass. Soldering a speaker wire to them without doing damage was a genuine pain in the ass but I managed to tap into the left and right negative wires that would eventually hook up to the orgone field generator at the base of the PVC pipe that houses the cone HHG. It's just old school tech. Hooking up the negative wires from a 2-speaker stereo to a third speaker will give you elements of both channels, and since this mp3 is stereo I felt it fitting to include both channels. Besides, the ear buds not only let me know if there's any sound but act as resistance. Less chance of damaging the mp3.

After that it was just putting the parts in place. I plugged a car phone charger with a USB port into a Delco jumpstart, plugged the mp3 into the USB slot, hooked up the modified ear buds, used an extension cable to hook the ear buds to the orgone field generator and hit the play button.

Moments before I did this I had the cb running with the frequency generator I made for it and, as I like to do, put my hands on it to feel the hum. When I did that with the mp3 attached, the feel was much more pronounced. It was softer, more pleasant, and had a distinctive rhythm to it, for lack of a better term. It's way more powerful and not nearly as industrial and one dimensional as a frequency generator putting out one frequency at a time.

I'm led to believe these things like and respond to music, at least as much as we do. After all, Mother Earth is a master musician and maybe she's a bit tired of the sounds of industry.

I wonder if she likes Beethoven?
