Electrical magnetic fields (EMF) are becoming increasingly important with the development of more electrical man-made devices and structures such as railway lines, overhead power cables and communication devices. However, it is currently difficult to visually capture these fields as they are on a wavelength beyond human perception. This prevents the monitoring of real-time EMF data which has the capacity to impact local wildlife and plants.
I developed an ,aerosphere oscillation detector that can be used in the field to capture real-time EMF and produce visual readings on location. The first prototype was tested in a range of environments before refinements were made to allow it to be used directly in the field. We also tested the ability of the detector to see if it was able to distinguish locations with little to no EMF.
The machine can map small locations and produces data in as little as 5 minutes. It is able to capture the air from the chosen site, extracting the moisture which is the main catalyst for EMF. The machine can produce instant readings once the area is mapped and is not limited to the number of images that can be made using one set of data. This allows users to gain a fast understanding of the extent EMF may be affecting an area subsequently leading on to how many species it may be affecting.
The use of the machine allows rapid insight into the severity and extent of EMF affecting the area mapped, which can help identify areas at risk of the ecological effects of EMF.

Community Workshop Sheet — This device was developed to not only run along side the Aerosphere oscillation detector, it was developed to teach communities about there local environments and bring awareness of electro magnetic fields that disrupt local wildlife through a workshop . This sheet offers guidance to participants.
Pollen Detector
A small device developed during the research phase after interviewing a bee keeper. This polled detector is bale to detect when flowers have pollen ready for bees as well as detecting any disruption from electrical devices or structures that produce electro magnetic fields.
