Electric Charge Detector


Ever had the hair on your neck stand up at an investigation? Ever wondered if there was a piece of equipment that measures that? Well wonder no more, the Electric Charge Detector is an electronic version of a electroscope which can measure voltage. The detector responds to the movement of positive and negative electrical charges. When a negative charge moves towards the detector the LED will turn off and then turn back on when the charge moves away. When a positive charge moves towards the detector the LED brightens and then will turn off when it moves away.

On the developers website they discuss how this detector was able to pick up the static charge of a plastic bag 10 feet away from the detector!

Price: Expect this item to be in the $60 range and will be available for purchase in just a few weeks. My group (Paranormal Task Force) received one from P.O.S.T to test run.  We have an investigation coming up this weekend and will be using it at that time so we will let you know if we have any luck with it.

To find out more information you can check out there website.
