Detect Underground Water: Capacitance Instrument

AI Thread Summary
Capacitance-based instruments for detecting underground water are not widely known, and some users suggest alternative methods, such as using copper wire. A participant encourages searching online for resources related to "water level measurement capacitance," noting the abundance of information available. This approach could lead to a more focused discussion on specific devices and their effectiveness. Engaging with existing literature may provide insights into the technology's applications and limitations. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for further exploration of capacitance methods for groundwater detection.

is there a instrument used to detect under ground water using capacitance principle

Hi keerthi
welcome to PF

dunno, I have never seen one

but I can do it with a "L" shaped length of copper wire :)

Have you considered using Google to find some answers? I searched with "water level measurement capacitance" and was totally flooded (no pun intended) with hits at all levels of technical complexity. Perhaps you should find some of these and then start a less 'open ended' discussion about their relative merits.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
