The voltage is amplified and transmitted through the antenna, which, unfurled, is long enough to remain extended above the surface...
Anchor Planting. Picked up by a receiver above ground, the data are plotted on deceleration v. time and deceleration v. depth curves that are characteristic of the substance and structure of the soil that has been penetrated. Sandia engineers are already able to tell when the projectiles have passed through materials Ifke sand, silt, clay, water, mud and certain kinds of rock...
