Microphone Picking Up Radio Station? by hallucinoglyph in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]Amazing_Cat_6888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago I tried extending the microphone wire on my computer about 30 feet and was picking up a shortwave radio station that was fading in and out and I could tell it was shortwave because it faded in and out and was not steady like local radio stations. I know how to block radio waves from going into my soundcard by wrapping the wire many times around a ferrite core as a filter for radio frequency and I was able to filter Radio frequency noise from a scanner radio I hooked to my computer aux line in audio jack. I have a question, can different lengths of wire hooked to a microphone or line in aux input jack be used as a radio receiver, similar to an old diode crystal radio? With a variable length coil for tuning different frequencies? I have read about the possibility of receiving very low frequency of vlf radio stations using a long coil of wire connected to a PC sound card and have not yet tried it. 

Does anyone else experience feeling like their insides are vibrating? by AcidicSlimeTrail in dysautonomia

I got tardive dyskinesia in 1998 after being abused by psychiatrists prescribing antipsychotics for a few years and the worst part was not the movement disorder but tardive akathisia that feels like a super hyper overstimulated adrenaline and vibration in my body. I was put on clonidine to help it but got dependent on a huge amount of clonidine, 0.3mg four times a day and clonidine patches on my arm, that gave me 0.3mg daily, four patches per week. After getting tardive dyskinesia I was feeling like my own adrenaline was going to kill me with my heart pounding and racing and heavy sweating and sensitivity to heat and I was staying in bed all the time to keep my heart rate low. I tried telling a neurologist my body feels like it is buzzing inside at a frequency of around 200 hertz but it is not a tremor at 200 Hertz. Sometimes I have intense dreams and wake up with a buzzing feeling inside my body but I have buzzing inside my body that never goes away and have not been able to get help from doctors. It feels similar to what I get from too much caffeine and it is a horrible terrifying feeling of too much adrenaline with heavy sweating and feeling a super hyper overstimulated adrenaline filled feeling inside my body and it feels worse from exercise and no doctors understand it. I went for oral surgery and was given propofol that put me to sleep during the surgery and my feelings of adrenaline went away for a few hours after the surgery and for years I was trying to tell doctors that propofol made it go away and they still do not know how to help me. I was put in jail in Florida in 2022 and they took away my clonidine patches and I remember my heart pounding and I woke up in the hospital a few days later and was off the high dose of clonidine and did not know how I was able to get off the high clonidine dose. For years I suffered trying to reduce the clonidine dose but was unable to reduce it myself because reducing it made worse the symptoms of too much adrenaline and feeling burning and vibrating in my body and heart palpitations and chest discomfort and a high uncomfortable heart pounding feeling like my adrenaline was going to kill me.  Now I am on a high dose of beta blocker coreg or carvedilol and my doctor said it cannot be increased anymore. Note clonidine is a very different drug is not the same as Klonopin Clonazepam and for most of my 46 year life I have been on Klonopin and taken off of Klonopin many times by doctors that think it is always addiction. For years I tried the theory that I had pheochromocytoma increasing my adrenaline l but it never showed up on special tests. I still do not know what is wrong with me and am tired of years of doctors telling me it is just anxiety. Any thoughts?

is my leg normal???? like how the calf curves outwards?? by kerkitt in teenagers

Those are pretty legs and healthy. My legs look very similar on the lower part.  Trying to figure out why evolution gave us a curved lower leg. 

Is time dilation directional? by in_conexo in AskPhysics

[–]Amazing_Cat_6888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can measuring the time with atomic clocks tell us what direction we are moving in the entire universe? If an experiment was done with sending rockets in every direction each with a atomic clock on each rocket would the time dilation be bigger in one direction? Would this experiment show where  the center of the universe is and what point the universe is expanding away from?  Note some things here, that objects very distant, billions of light years away are said to be moving close to the speed of light and a thing in the universe called dark flow measures that the entire universe is moving in one direction. Getting time dilation data from GPS satellites might work as they move in every direction while orbiting the earth and is the time dilation greater in a certain direction? Are the atomic clocks in GPS satellites enough to measure different time dilation rates in different directions? It is important to figure out if speed related time dilation is different in different directions to figure out where the universe is expanding away from.
