Double Coil Technology began with a simple experiment involving the Schumann resonance — and produced a result that completely changed the direction of our investigation.
Our earlier experiments with magnetic fields had drawn us towards investigating the Schumann resonance, an electromagnetic resonance occurring between the Earth’s surface and the ionosphere.
We decided to experiment using coils formed from the windings of a toroidal transformer, connected to a signal generator operating at approximately 7.83 Hz, the fundamental Schumann resonance frequency.
When we first switched the device on, we happened to be listening to music.
Almost immediately something seemed different.
The music appeared more melodic, the ambience increased and the soundstage seemed noticeably larger. Switching the coils on and off appeared to change our experience of the music.
Then came the enigma
When we examined the transformer more closely, we realized that two identical coils had been connected in series in opposition — a configuration designed to substantially cancel their electromagnetic fields.
So we appeared to be observing an effect being produced by a zero field!
That discovery certainly got our attention.
Excited by what we were hearing, we decided to demonstrate the effect objectively. Using high-end recording equipment, we recorded and carefully analysed the music with and without the Double Coil operating. And then came the second surprise.
There was no measurable difference in the recordings.
Considerable effort went into trying to capture the effect physically. High-end recording equipment was obtained specifically for the investigation, and an experienced professional from the recording industry was invited to listen for himself.
He was struck by what he heard — but agreed that the perceived effect simply wasn’t being captured in the recording.
This presented us with an extraordinary situation. The change could be experienced by a listener, yet when the physical audio signal was recorded and analysed, the difference disappeared.The music itself wasn’t changing.
Our perception of the music was changing.
That realization completely changed the direction of our investigation. Physical recording equipment could detect no corresponding change in the audio, yet we were experiencing something. As advanced meditators, we were already accustomed to exploring states of consciousness beyond ordinary physical awareness. If the answer could not be found by measuring the physical signal, this put us into familiar territory — gathering information from planes of existence beyond the physical.
What had begun as an experiment with the Schumann resonance had unexpectedly opened the doorway to an entirely different field of investigation.
Double Coil Technology had been born.
