The Utility-intertied Signal Generation & Transfer distributed an Extremely Low Frequency signal into localized areas of the city. Transmission was achieved by using and altering the electromagnetic field surrounding the power line network. The signal was inaudible and relied on passive bio-reception. A special portable electronic unit was designed to plug into the grid and automatically pattern the pulse-wave signal, distributing it using the electrical network's alternating current. These Conditioning Units were concentrated into five local areas within the city. A website journal generated feedback to review and record reactions. Questions? Please visit the FAQ.

Utility-intertied Signal Generation & Transfer

The USG&T carrier system is designed to alter the electromagnetic field of the electric-power supply grid and uses this power line network to distribute a pre-determined signal to localized regions of the city. This Extremely Low Frequency signal combines well-defined active electrical transmission with passive biodynamic reception, relying on the electromagnetic (EM) fields generated by power line and residential wiring.

This carrier system requires no new wiring using instead the existing power line infrastructure to remotely transmit to the designated reception area (fig. 1). In-house equipment installation or signal amplification is not required.

The Conditioning Unit

The Conditioning Unit (CU) (fig.2) plugs into a wall outlet and automatically patterns the signal transmission, integrating it directly into the power line EM field. Once activated the CU is in continuous use, generating the signal inaudibly and coupling it with the electrical current as it alternates its direction of flow.

To maximize signal saturation, the Conditioning Units have been distributed to multiple locations. These CU locations operate as Signal Distribution Ports (SDPs). Additional SDP hosts may be added to the designated local areas as required. All deployed CUs can be considered primary transmitters using identical pulsed signaling with a frequency of 7-8Hz. Local area mapping is guided by SDP locations and CU signaling limitations.

Signaling Awareness

The USG&T signal couples with the power line EM field and operates as bio-resonance through modulation. Signaling awareness may depend on individual sensitivity.
EM Field Strength

A reliable, radiated signal with field strength levels sufficient to generate effective EM conditions can be anticipated. Reports entered into the USG&T Journal will help provide information to more accurately chart EM field propagation for steering signal patterning.

The effectiveness of the magnetic field decreases with the distance from the power line network wiring. Enhanced field strength can be initiated with concentrated exposure and close-proximity electromagnetic signal transfer.

Signal Distortion

'Lock-on' of the EM pulsed signal is dependent upon and will fluctuate with electrical voltage variations, e.g., brownouts or power-surges. Targeted area reception also may experience disturbances due to signal interference from some electronic devices and motors, lightning, or power station transients resulting in poor signal propagation.

The USG&T Journal

Responses by email will be sorted by keyword and entered into the USG&T Journal to review and record observations, reactions and suggestions. This journal will be monitored in a continuous effort to better understand and improve the Conditioning Unit and signal radiation characteristics, making corrections or reinforcing positive results, if necessary. The signal frequency may be modified to adapt and synchronize with daily cycles or rhythms as response patterns dictate. Journal entries can be used to communicate a desired response label preferably during real-time signaling or to recognize a group or neighbor who has 'caught the signal'.
Figure 1.

How it works : Electricity is sent from the power plant to the substation which is then distributed over the power line network. The electricity alternates its flow over the power line (Alternating Current or AC), back and forth with a frequency of 60Hz, in the process creating an electromagnetic field. The CU plugs into the power line and will "piggyback" the signal onto this current altering the power lines own electromagnetic field in the designated area network.

Figure 2.

About the size of a typewriter, the CU's integrated components produce the signal's pulsed modulations. Once plugged into the wall outlet the unit is "on" and requires no tuning, continuously generating the signal through bio-resonant EM fields.
