By observing the movement of a small mass attached to a spring, I have estimated that the energy required to produce the Hum across known areas of the UK is
350 Kilowatts/ square kilometre. A German investigator, using a completely different approach gives a figure of 5.4 Megawatts/ square kilometre His approach is this. Germany has an area of 35711.9 square kilometres. Vibration can occur in a small basement of 2 metres which would give 35711.9 * 1000 * 1000 * 2 = 7.14 * 10E11 cubic metres of earth being vibrated. Weight of a cubic metre of earth 1700 kg Total mass of vibrating earth 1.12 * 10E15 Assuming the amplitude of vibration to be .0001 metre the potential energy would be 1.12 * 10E15 * 9.8 * .0001 = 1.19 * 10E12 Newton metres With a 30 Hz hum the vibration of one cycle would be .0017 seconds therefore the power requirement for Germany would be 1.19 * 10E12 * .0017 = 1.98 * 10E5 Megawatts. Any other bids?
