Hey Gadget Geeks and Android Freaks. Tired of hearing about your freind's great paranormal app for his iPhone? Well Ed B of Paratools has got a new toy for your your Driod. Check it out!!



A new tool called "The Ghost Catcher Camera" or "G.C.C." has been developed by a newly found company called Paratools.  As of this time this application is only available for Android phones but do not fret iPhone users it is scheduled to be ported over to the iPhone in the near future.  This tool was created to help further the research in paranormal investigation.  The theory behind the application is that when an anomaly such as a spirit or entity is in certain proximity they give off an electromagnetic field from its energy.  If this energy was able to be photographed at the exact time of the magnetic fluctuation an image may be caught in the photo.  Based on this theory The Ghost Catcher Camera was born.  


The application consists of a K2 style EMF meter that ties into the Android phones camera capabilities.  By doing so, the second the EMF field reaches a certain level defined by the user, the internal camera snaps multiple photos in succession at the rate of up to 10 in a 2 second period.  Once the G.C.C. is started it automatically calibrates the sensor to 0.  The photos happen silently as to not affect the continuous reading of the meter.  The photos are then stored directly on the SD card for further review.  The G.C.C. can be stopped and started as necessary, and once a session has ended (which is an option) a full graph of the session is shown.  The graph includes the time the session started and ended as well as the level of EMF defined in 250 miligauss increments.  This graph then also offers the option to be saved along with a log showing the start and stop time as well as the lowest and highest miligauss reading.  Another option is also available that will allow the user to email this same information along with a .jpg attachment of the graph.


The G.C.C. options in the configuration includes an on/off flash option, a low/medium/high quality photo option, the number of photos you want the camera to take per fluctuation (1 through 10), and the amount of miligauss it will take to trigger the camera.  The miligauss option is defined in 250mg increments from 0 to 3000+.  This configuration option is also color coded to the leds that correspond to that miligauss level.


Other features include a digital recorder called "The E.V.P. Catcher" which includes an amplitude meter that allows you to be able to view any sound fluctuation during an E.V.P. or silence session.  The recorder has the ability to rewind and fast forward as well.  Each tap of the button will either go back or ahead 3 seconds at a time in order to pinpoint the exact location and time of the sound fluctuation.  There is a timer at the bottom of the screen that lasts the entire session and an option to save the recording session is also available.


All files that are saved are available on the SD card in the parent folder under another folder titled "GCC".  This folder then has a separate folder for audio, with the photographs, graphs, and logs stored in the m
ain folder.


It is available on the android marketplace, here is the link 
The Ghost Catcher Camera.  It is on sale for the first 90 days of release for a price of $4.99 and after the 90 days the cost will be $6.99.  New features are in the planning stages as well to add to this tool to make it even better and updates will come as needed.  Be sure to rate and leave feedback in the marketplace and tell a friend or two about it.

The Paratools website is www.paratools.net and has an area to share the evidence caught by the camera by any and all users.  Also feel free to leave any comments and suggestions on their site for future improvements.

Hey kiddies! It’s June-The hot lazy days of summer have arrived (as apparent by the Cubs losing streak). Thank god I have some folks coming up with some great ideas for gadgets. You know my motto, “I love cheap, easy, effective gear” (aside from “extra mayo, please). Here’s a great submission for GGG’s first guest gadget. Allen Tanner of GHOSTS came up with a great way to indicate static electric changes. And for you paranormal environmentalists, this gadget is green baby! One less plastic bottle and Styrofoam chunk sitting in a landfill for the next 1,000 years. Great idea Allen!!

Here it is right from the inventor

This is a very simple device for determining energy drain in an area. It's so simple; you'll never see this on a TV show. It doesn't have any lights or bells and whistles. it doesn't even need it's own power source. But it WORKS. And that's the point, isn't it? And even better...other than raw materials that are usually thrown in the trash, it's free! (*GGG Note* See? Cheap, easy, effective!). I give this design to everyone. All I ask is don't claim you invented it and don't sell them. Definitely TEACH people how to make them! Where did I get the idea for the SnowGlobe?

What you need:


     

A clear bottle with a tight-sealing cap. Glass is better than plastic, but glass is heavier and can break. Either must be clean and free of as much moisture as possible. 

Expanded polystyrene ("Styrofoam") shredded or otherwise reduced to small pieces. Packing peanuts work but you have to cut them up into fairly uniform pieces. Stay away from pink colored material as this has usually been treated to be anti-static and defeats the purpose. Also, some preformed packing may be compressed and fairly dense, and should also be avoided...you'll have to almost powder it to make it light enough for it to work.

How to build:


    

Fill the bottle about 1/4 full with the polystyrene. Microwave with the cap off and while it's still hot close the cap tightly. this cooks out as much moisture as possible and reduces the air pressure inside the bottle.

How to use:

Rub it on your shirt or on some wool to "charge" it. Once it's charged, set it on a surface and keep an eye on it. The polystyrene will fall a little at a time normally. If it falls all at once or very rapidly, something is sucking the charge out of the room. And you'll know what's going on long before you have to say "hey, my camera batteries are dead!".

"I made one..But it doesn't work!"

Your polystyrene may not be shredded enough. You might have moisture in the bottle. It may be too warm or humid out for there to be any static electricity. I haven't experimented with other materials in the bottle yet. Feather down, bits of wool fluff, maybe even shredded paper, anything that "sticks" with static should work.
