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?

Sorry Geoff are proving yourself a triggered Wiki wannabee again. I even know the exact articles you are referencing wrt to the dual frequencies to create the 7.83hz.   The sub could absolutely transmit, just it's range would be poor. Do you know one of the reasons why they need so much power?  Salt water .... Behaves much like metal. Makes a great RF shield. Is your room with your Schumann generator filled with salt water? 


And yet I can built an AM transmitter at 550khz with a puny antenna and very low power that can transmit 100s of feet. 550Khz is 545 meters wavelength. 
I cannot penetrate that thick membrane around your brain. 🧠 This conversation can serve no purpose any more.
The issue is your total lack of anything approaching knowledge w.r.t. antenna theory. Literally 0 it appears.  That is why you keep making personal attacks but have 0 details in your posts. Your personal attacks are childish and show some deep seated insecurities on your part.

There we go. More childish insults. YOU have 0 clue about antenna theory, antenna design, narrow band coil antenna, or anything related. Therefore you keep spouting the same ignorant nonsense about full wavelength antennas and what it takes to "push" a signal through hundreds of feet on conductive water, as opposed to a simple device with "effects" if any of a few meters. The natural Schumann resonance e-field is puny, 100's of microvolts/meter, the magnetic field, a picotesla, or about 5 orders of magnitude below the earths static fields without any human activity. 


Most of these small devices make stupid claims like "scalar waves" or "scale wave fields", quackery science with no basis in reality (like many other claims certain people make).


How crazy are the claims associated with many of the products?  ...

"We were checking through hundreds of frequencies in locating the best possible signal which would have maximum penetration into the human Biofield. Little did we know that the particular frequency we choose was only .02 off the actual frequency that the “Arc of the Covenant” functions at. (Described in the Bible. Also the feature in the movie Indiana Jones)"

... who cares that the frequency changes 0.3 - 0.4Hz over the day. Why let facts get in the way?

Oh, better yet ....

"Since Scalar Waves operate outside of our conventional three-dimensional world, and thus they are not constrained by the limitations of conventional rules of physics.

Using conventional instruments, there is no way to measure the Scalar Field output as it functions outside of conventional physical principles."


... convenient. It's like they created an excuse that it is unlikely to prove their product does not do anything.
