Abstract:
1. A rotating coherent electromagnetic emission instrumentation apparatus, comprising: a rotating platform having an axis of rotation; an elongate emitter housing attached to and extending above the rotating platform, the elongate emitter housing having an electromagnetic (EM) wave transparent bottom portion, the housing being centered about the axis of rotation of the platform; a 45° electromagnetic wave reflector disposed in the bottom portion of the elongate emitter housing at an axial center of the elongate emitter housing; at least one coherent electromagnetic emitter disposed inside the elongate emitter housing along the axis of rotation of the rotating platform, the emitter being aimed at the electromagnetic wave reflector to cause an emitted EM beam to be reflected 90° by the reflector; an ultra-high revolutions per minute (RPM) driver attached to the rotating platform, the ultra-high RPM driver supplying rotational kinetic energy to the rotating platform and emitter housing; and a plurality of sensors spaced at intervals along a circumference defined by a predetermined radial distance from an origin of the 90° reflected emitted EM beam, the sensors having means for recording energy spikes proximate the predetermined radial distance.
