  • Electrical field sensing and transmitting apparatus
    Patent number: 4025913
    Abstract: A pair of conductive spherical shells are carried by a balloon or other means into an electrical field which induces equal and opposite charges on the shells. Rotation of the shells causes the charges to alternate. The alternating sinusoidal charge is applied to an amplifier and the amplified output modulated and applied to a transmitter. The spherical shells become a telemetry antenna for transmitting the sensed electrical field information to a remote receiver.
