Hello List Members: My name is Alexander Mirabal, (cuban, electronic engineer.) and I live in México. I'm new in amateur seismography and at present I try to study the design of simple homemade systems and planning the construction of my first sensor. I recently know about the High Resolution Broadband Seismometer designed by Sean-Thomas Morrissey. I got from the web some drawings and explanations related to this design, but I would like to get a better knowledge (maybe a more detailed explanation) of the mechanic part: Transfer Function and its mathematical components, how to calculate free period experimentally, etc... Here in México is really hard to get books and magazines recomend in most of the technical papers. I will appreciate any help (comments, links, drawings in electronic format, etc) from any of you regarding Morrisey's seismometer. I would like to build one.Electronic is not a concern for me because that is my background. Actually I am planning to implement some parts of the system using microcontrollers (PICs from Microchip) to interface A/D block and data logger, etc... Hoping you excuse my poor English, Thanks in advance Alexander --------------------------------- Correo Yahoo!
