Abstract: A method, a system and an apparatus of semi-permeable terrain geophysical data acquisition is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of geophysical data acquisition over a semi-permeable terrain includes placing an apparatus housing geophysical data measuring instruments over a semi-permeable terrain. The method adjusts and calibrates low frequency unshielded dipole antennas with a transmitter and a receiver in a pre-determined interval distance depending on central frequency. The method selects a time data trigger type and/or a unit data trigger type to scan and/or trace where a data signal is sent to a ground at selected intervals. The method causes a linear movement of the apparatus over the semi-permeable terrain. The method determines an optimal position for geophysical data acquisition over the semi-permeable terrain. Further, the method captures geophysical data with measuring instruments housed on the apparatus.

Abstract: A method, a system and an apparatus of semi-permeable terrain geophysical data acquisition is disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a front extension with a set of front stability margins. In addition, the apparatus also includes a rear extension with a set of rear stability margins. The method also includes a set of data measuring instruments that automatically adjust and calibrate geophysical data related to a characteristic of a semi-permeable terrain such that a measurement captured through the set of data measuring instruments accurately reflects a magnitude of a measurement related to a motion of the apparatus.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring distance on a loose surface is disclosed. The apparatus includes a frame and a wheel operatively coupled to the frame. The wheel rotates relative to the frame. Further, the wheel includes a hub for operatively coupling the wheel with the frame. The hub rotates relative to the frame in response to one of pushing and pulling of the frame. To increase traction between the wheel and the loose surface, a plurality of spikes is provided on a peripheral surface of the wheel, projecting outwardly away from the hub. As the peripheral surface rolls on the surface, the distance traversed by the wheel is measured by calculating the number of rotations made by the wheel. A counter is operatively coupled to the wheel for tracking the number of rotations made by the wheel as the peripheral surface of the wheel rolls on the loose surface.
