Question

I am working on a electromagnetics project and I have created a replica of the bilby crater found in Las Vegas Nevada..The tasks at hand are properly charge the crater WITHOUT PHYSICAL CONTACT and develop a sensor with household items to kind of measure the electric field at different points in the crater...any ideas on how to come to do it?

Explanation / Answer

Bilby crater was a result of atomic test incorporating many tons. A replica of it would incorporate certain functions and characteristics of original crater. In order to charge the crater properly without physical contact, it can be placed in room temperature or in a place having temperature above or below room temperature. This process heats up the crater to certain extent because as bilby crater resulted from atomic research,it contains the characteristic to heat up without any physical means.

In order to measure the electeic field at various points,a electric field measuring device must be used. In case of sensors made with household items,the electric field measured would not give an accurate value as in case of digital meters but an approximate value can be obtained. A simple LED is taken and one end connected to ground while the other end kept over certain points of the crater to inspect if any field is present. In case of magnetic field,the magnetic particles present get aligned to the field and similarly in case of electric field,the charges particles get aligned and the LED may glow. The field may be measured using a multimeter.
