Egyptian power: the Great pyramid of Giza concentrates electromagnetic energy
Source:
An international group of scientists applied the methods of theoretical physics to study electromagnetic response of the great pyramid on the airwaves. Scientists predicted that in the resonance conditions the pyramid can concentrate electromagnetic energy in its internal chambers and under the base. These results, the researchers plan to use to develop nanoparticles capable of producing similar effects in the optical range. They will be useful, for example, to create sensors and high-efficiency solar cells. The study was published in the Journal of Applied Physics.
While the Egyptian pyramids are surrounded by many myths and legends, scientists have little scientifically tested information about their physical properties. Recently, physicists became interested in how the Great pyramid will interact with electromagnetic waves of resonant length. The calculations showed that in the resonant state, the pyramid can concentrate electromagnetic energy in their internal cameras, and also under the base, where there is a third unfinished chamber.
At First, scientists hypothesized that resonances in the pyramid can be caused by radio waves length from 200 to 600 meters. Then they made a model of the electromagnetic response of the pyramid and calculated the extinction cross section. This is done in order to evaluate what part of energy of the incident wave can be scattered or absorbed by the pyramid at resonance conditions. Finally, under the same conditions, the researchers got a picture of the distribution of the electromagnetic field inside the pyramid.
theWhat else are you hiding the pyramid?
"the Egyptian pyramids has always attracted a lot of attention. We, as scientists, are also interested in them, so I decided to look at the Great pyramid as a particle emitting radio waves of the resonance. Due to the lack of information about the physical properties of the pyramid, we had to make some assumptions. For example, we have assumed that there is an unknown inside of the cavities, as building material with the properties of ordinary limestone is evenly distributed inside and outside of the pyramid. Given these assumptions, we obtained interesting results, which can find an important practical application," says Andrew Evlyukhin, scientific Director and coordinator of the study.
Now the researchers plan to reproduce similar effects on a nanoscale level.
