- Home Made Geophone Detects Foot Stomp
A home made geophone is made from a strong magnet, a coil of wire and a rubber band. The circuit is sensitive enough to detect the vibrations of a nearby foot stomp. It could be used as an
earthquake detector. (added 7/06)

- Human Traffic Footstep Alarm
This circuit processes the amplified signals from the footstep detector circuit and activates a microprocessor when the circuit detects footsteps. At has an adjustable sensitivity.

- Human Traffic Footstep Detector
This circuit uses a surplus geophone to detect human footsteps from 100 feet away. It was designed for monitoring the Mexico/USA border. This preamp part of the system draws about 50
microamps from a 12 volt supply.
