 Whistlers as a Transportation Medium

for the 'Taos' Hum  Joannes Richter 

Thinking of mechanisms for The Hum  I remembered the whistler s I learned at the lectures of  professor Henk Bremmer  back in 1971. For those who do not know the mechanism Wikiedia ma!

introduce the whistler  as follows1"

# whistler is a $er! low fre%uenc! or &'F electromagnetic (radio) wa$e generated b!

lightning.*1+ Fre%uencies of terrestrial whistlers are 1 kH, to - kH,/ with a ma0imum

amlitude usuall! at - kH, to kH,. #lthough the! are electromagnetic wa$es/ the!

occur at audio fre%uencies/ and can be con$erted to audio using a suitable recei$er. The!

are roduced b! lightning strokes (mostl! intracloud and return2ath) where the imulse

tra$els along the 3arth4s magnetic field lines from one hemishere to the other. The!

undergo disersion of se$eral kH, due to the slower $elocit! of the lower fre%uencies

through the lasma en$ironments of the ionoshere and magnetoshere. Thus the! are ercei$ed as a descending tone which can last for a few seconds.

Whistlers were robabl! heard as earl! as 1556 on long telehone lines/ but the clearest

earl! descrition was b! arkhausen in 1919. In 19-/ 8tore! showed that whistlers

originate from lightning discharges. 

8amles of whistlers ma! be found in 'isten to the &'F sounds of 3arth.

The whistler ma! be transorted along one of the magnetic field lines/ each of which ma! be

considered as a suitable :wa$e guide;.

I reali,ed this ma! also haen at the earth4s surface near ower lines/ which ro$ides us with

magnetic field lines. <f course the magnetic field oscillates with a basic fre%uencies in the range of 

6215H, (=8#) or 21 H, (3uroe)/ but this will >ust modulate the hum with 21H,

resecti$el! 6215H,.

The Hum-notifications near Zutphen/Warnsveld (Netherlands)

The Butch ower lines ha$e been maed in Cetkaart $an het RI&D. The circa 7 cases of hum2

noise near EuthenWarns$eld has been documented in the website elangengroe romtoon

Euthen.

I sketched a ma for the hum2noise in the neighborhood of the cit! of Euthen/ where two ower lines had been located in a densel! oulated area. The red line reresents a -5k&2line and the

dark blue line reresents a 1k&2line.

Howe$er the classical theor! of intact ower lines does not ro$ide us with an! e0lanations for the

transort mechanisms of hums from the electromagnetic fields in the ower lines to the $arioushomes/ from which the hum2notifications had been reorted.

* virtuall+ non-damped ener+ transport

Whistler signals are known to allow bounce2mode roagation/ reflecting back and forth on

oosite sides of the lanet until totall! attenuated. The bouncing effect indicates low attenuation at

the transort along a magnetic field line. The magnetic field line therefore beha$es like a wa$e

guide/ allowing the wa$e to conser$e its energ!. This non2damed energ! transort allows us to

assume that the ower of a cell2hone transmitter station/ which oerates at 12W (at 15 DH,)/

resecti$el! 2W (at 9 DH,)/ ma! be transorted into the homes of sleeing $ictims of the

hum2noise.

In fact we ma! imagine two mechanisms in which a $irtuall! non2damed energ! transort e0ists

for electromagnetic wa$es. In these mechanisms the energ! transort ma! e0ists in the range of 

m2m (that is" be!ond the classical range for magnetic fields in a 6 H, ower s!stem)"

• The transort of a $irtuall! non2damed H,21H, :field; along a magnetic field lines

generated b! a 8D2antenne around the 1 H,2band9.

• The transort of a $irtuall! non2damed 12W 8D2signal along the magnetic field lines

of a (3uroean) 21H,/ resecti$el! (in the =8#) 6215H, ower line field.

I concentrated on the 8D 15 base station which oututs 1W2W resecti$el! 8D 9 at 2

W ad thougth what might haen if sleeing or non2sleeing ersons recei$ed this energ! at their 

heads. Theoreticall! in a worst case situation the $ictims ma! be suffering from a humming

$irtuall! non2damed 8D2ower signal as if the! had laid their ear on a transmitter antenna of a

full ower 8D2station. <f course in real life some daming of these energies ma! e0ist.

The weak magnetic field lines of a transformer or ower lines undoubtedl! ma! be sreading

an!where in the 2m ,ones. 8uch conditions ma! still be found in Dunich (erman!) and at

se$eral other locations such as Taos1  in the =8#/ ristol11  in the =/ 8teinhOring1/

ornwestheim1-/ 'einfelden23chterdingen1G  in erman! and at EuthenWarns$eld1/ Cesselande16

or Waalre17 in the Cetherlands. These locations all are embedded in ower lines/ but onl! Warns$eldhas been documented as a location with a 8D2antenna at the ower line !lons.

The hum ma! be caused b! the 21H,/ resecti$el! (in the =8#) 6215H, modulation of the

magnetic field lines/ which usuall! are $ibrating in a -2hase s!stem.

,&ample the .$M-stations in Zutphen/Warnsfeld (Netherlands)

Toda! the hum2notifications in the area EuthenWarnsfeld (Cetherlands) ha$e grown to 7

 ersons. I do not know whether communication ro$iders are still installing 8D2antennas at the

 ower line !lons/ but e0isting 8D2antennas still seem to be in full oeration/ which would allow

whistler2like energ! transorts.

In EuthenWarnsfeld some of the 8D2!lonen seem to be installed on or nearb! ower line

 !lons15.

<f course these :whistler2like; energ! mechanisms also ma! be susected to cause the m!sterious
