"ghosts need to operate in the ISM band or they need to get a license from the FCC" Hell yeah, now I want a TV show about the FCC ghost squad! Something between MIB and Supernatural.
the hef4069 is a hex inverter, that is often used as a simple signal amplifier so the ghost detecotr is just picking up random noise and amplifying it until its gain is high enough to drive the piezo/led.
This sounds like a tax-writeoff vacation to me and I respect the hell out of it B) Glad y'all had a good time! Also almost died laughing at the reveal of the cell tower in the masonic gravesite skfgsjhdkfglmao
For that last device, could it have just been an antenna hooked up to a tone generator and, maybe, some sort of amplifier? It'd just beep whenever it ran into a radio wave that's the right frequency for that length of antenna.
I regret to inform you the image at 30:25 is actually morbius. It took me a while to find exactly what but it's from the 2013 comic Morbius: The living vampire, and it was drawn by Gabrielle Dell'Otto.
6:00 However, non-ionising radiation _can_ affect the human body, specifically if it passes through at least one of your eyeballs to hit the back of your retina such that it stimulates a response in your optic nerve that makes your brain form an image of a curly-haired cyborg testing ghost hunting gadgets and thus releases a wave of dopamine that tricks me into continuing to watch 😛
The camera having a focus and a soft rubber eye piece on the optic means it's just a monocular or binocular part. But backwards (spooky.) It's more amazing what the manufacturers can think of retrofitting to make another cash grab.
I know why that IR camera has loop recording on by default!! Because they're just using an off-the-shelf dash camera stuck in an off-the-shelf scope mold! 🤯🤣🤣🤣 My dash cam has the EXACT same menus! And that depth camera thing looks like a knockoff Kinect sensor. 🤣
@15:27 I suspect the reason for the metal framing is just to act as pretty ghetto heatsink / thermal mass for the laser diode. probably to cut costs or reduce formfactor. In the normal Kinect modules its actively cooled.
The EMF meter is useful for the detection of power in the case of power outage and detection of certain types of interference to know if you are having problems with transmissions and such. This said even if it was sold as an overpriced ghost detector you can still use it for certain types of troubleshooting and many other things. I would however recommend one with a pinpoint option.
so dark fang is a field detector of sorts. You place on the ground and stand away from it. If it it beeps it means something is close to the antenna. Anything being close to the antenna sets it off. There is a device referred to as a REM-Pod that works the same way, but has other functions as well. Hope this helps.
you say ghosts can only transmit on ism bands... but what about dead hams? can I dx all the way into hell? is there a hell version of sunspots? the signal probably isn't great, do you think they have ft8?
You are actually one of my favourite TH-camrs these days, the way you speak and write scripts is so entertaining lmao. I could probably watch you snarkily review any piece of crap. Keep it up cyborg man
Spoopitron reminds me very much of a VR/Flat game called Scanner Sombre. In this game you use a Lidar gun to walk around a pitch black cave and light your way through using a point cloud you create. It's an incredible thriller game that gets spookier the deeper you get into this cave system. The Spoop even looks like the device you use.
Will you do something for the Ingress 11th anniversary? I remember you mentioned something about playing it in the past in the optigon videos. Either way keep doing what you do best fellow enlightened!
My wife's friend got an emf meter, was freaking out about all the electrical equipment, worried about her health. I told her about the ghost hunting use... I at least had a good laugh.
It seems like the magnetometer is not a proper magnetometer and maybe only coils of wire, so they can detect a moving magnetic field but not a stationary one. Magnetometers or Hall effect sensors aren’t expensive but the Chinese seem to have gone even cheaper.
Hey Zack, that looked fun. My wife and I were just up there a couple weeks ago. We love it in Estes Park and go there often as its just about 1.5 hours away. Anyway, from one hardware/software hacker to another, I think your show is great and keep on rockin! Cheers!
Maybe this silly video is a weird one to put this comment on, but I’m really blown away by your videos. You always put so much actual educational information even when you go for a silly vibe and your scripts are clearly well thought out with entertaining wordplay. Even when you make jokes about stretching a weekend project into a full video I don’t feel the slightest bit shorted on actual content. I found your channel because of gridfinity and I’m trying to get into 3d printing but now I’m on a full on binge. Thanks for doing what you do. Also that teleprompter is awesome 🤩
The fact that it only changes values when the meter is moving isn't the device trying to "horn swaggle" you, it's Lenz's Law. Moving medium has an induced current due to magnetic field, and the device measures the current induced. At least that's what I understand, I have no idea if this is standard for emf detectors but it makes sense logically.
I have that NV1000 and I modified it to use CS lenses. I put my cheap 400mm-1000mm telephoto lens off amazon on it and it looks ridiculous. Little camcorder with a small telescope sticking off the front lol. I do astrophotography and picked up the camera as to not mess up my shots when I needed to see something. I can't get my Pi cams to work this well in low light.
"it's just picking up porn." God I'm fucking dieing! 🤣 I love the idea that ghost hunting equipment is better at detecting porn than it is at detecting ghosts.
I didn't know you'd uploaded three videos already??? I needed this, good lord. I'm so under and overstimulated at the same time and your videos always help in times like these. Bless 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Craigslist near me has one guy that's always trying to pawn off his ghost gear. $100 for broken CRT tubes and all sorts of interesting radio equipment.
I was really hoping to see a ghost in that minute of darkness at the end, but all I saw was my dumbass in the reflection of my screen, damn it really do be like that huh?
Before debunking or testing anything you really need to know the science behind the theories. The first EMF meter seemed to work exactly how it was supposed to when moving it towards power cables and anything else electrical. Genuine EMF meters work exactly the same way and it is only the sensitivity that may differ (and the way the the results are presented). They are not designed for "ghost hunting" but as an engineering tool. It just so happens that "paranormal activity" can be accompanied by EMF anomolies and that is the only reason why they are used. Most of these EMF anomolies can be debunked as normal EMF residue.
So...6:08 . Non ionizing radiation and MEL. Minimum exposure limit. Yes the lvls you are talking about are nothing but if you are a radar or radio technician. This shit is your life or death. Its also linked to causing malignerant tumors in the body. But again. Not at the lvls you are referring to.
26:15 I don't recall exactly what it is, but I remember that picture from my "oh fuck, what if ghosts are real?" phase of life. It's from a relatively famous ghost video, it's like a really shit low FPS CCTV video of that set of doors
Thought so, it's Hampton court in 2003, the video itself is like 2 FPS, and obviously a guy in a crap costume. Search "Hampton court skeletor" to find the original. Idk why it's called skeletor
I'm guessing the inverters are wired as something that's just on the verge of oscillation and gets triggered by the slightest whiff of signal from the antenna, or just when it feels like it.
Back when I studied electronics and communications, we were told that you won't know immediately if you are standing in a communications microwave beam. The first thing to get damaged apparently is your eyes, they are very fragile with a high water content.
Would that IR camera from the Spoopitron be re-purpose-able as a bed leveler for a massive custom 3D printer? Low range isn’t a problem if it’s moving on a tool head, and the large size is fine if you’re building something with a stupidly massive tool head. Like a printer that uses PVC pipe as filament.
When I was at school at CU we stayed at The Stanley, got snowed in, and had a bonkers time running around the hallways getting scared out of our minds. So rad.
I am a Colorado native, blackhawk has the "knights of pythias" cemetery which is a heck of a lot creepier. Sadly the Masons and Knights didnt gave a bloods and crips type relationship to spice up some drama.

Here's a free future project idea: feed the video output from the NV1000 into your cyborgMonicle and then mount the NV1000 to the side of your head. Bonus points if you post process the footage to just show the outline of the ghosts, instead of the actual video.

We heard you like magnetic field detectors so we put magnetic field detector in your magnetic field detector.
okay but before the video even starts, city print and 3d paint are literally the tools i have been looking for

EVP is also the only thing that ever has given me the spooks when I was very skeptically ghost hunting with friends.

The real reason the meter beeps near AC devices is because all AC electricity is haunted by the ghost of Nikola Tesla
