Why Do Schumann Resonators Work?


Schumann Resonators are little boxes you plug into the wall that produce electromagnetic radiation tuned to 7.83 Hz. This is the frequency that the earth/atmosphere system “rings” at when the Earth is struck by lightning. It is also a common frequency your brain “ticks” at.

When employed in the listening room, many people claim it makes their audio sound better. If this is true, then what is the mechanism of action?

-Is it a matter of the resonator producing a more relaxed mental state?
-Does it help block or alter electromagnetic interference?
-Does it add its own electromagnetic interference to your system that just so happens to be pleasing?

I experimented with one recently and what I noticed is that it seemed to remove some of the high frequency nasties or what some might call “digital glare” (although digital glare can also show up in analog systems). When I made this observation, the resonator was placed right next to my power strip that my CD player, preamp and some other devices are plugged into.

My “proof” of the effect is that I could turn the volume up louder than usual without it sounding “too loud.” The sound levels of the system weren’t any quieter, it’s just that the digital glare was reduced so that I could go louder before thinking “this is too loud,” which usually isn’t a sound level thing per se but the point as which some frequency (often the highs) become irritating.

So who here has experience with these devices? Do you like them? Does anyone know why they work?

Genie is out of the bottle. You have failed to lead people astray yet again. That must get tiring.  Must be awful not admitting, realizing, or whatever the issue is that RF is RF, whether 7.83Hz or 550KHz, and just like you don't need a 500 meter antenna for 550KHz, you don't need a 25,000 mile antenna for 7.83 hz. Are you really that daft where RF is concerned?  Surely you don't think the keyfob for a car requires a 1 meter long antenna. Try to fit that into your pocket!

You have the market on that cornered. Most people are rather perceptive. They can make the leap that you can send and receive with an antenna far smaller than a wavelength.   I wonder what they think of your constant protestations and deflections?  
You do get that if a sub can receive ... It can transmit? May not be very efficient but it can. Sorry that simple and we'll known fact is lost on you. Anyone who understand RF is laughing .... And not with you.
He who laughs last laughs best. So far you’ve proved you don’t know much about anything. I used to work in the radio room, as it were. The sub can’t transmit at ELF frequency. It was explained earlier, which you would have read if you weren’t so busy flapping your gums. It can only receive. What about the word receiver don’t you understand? And the land based ELF antenna can only transmit. God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason.
