Thanks all. Let's explain why I would like to look at orbiting crystals. In brief, along with some friends of mine, I am carrying some experimental work in the field of gravitational anomalies, and tests with vibrating matter are part of this work. This field of research has a background also in the work of others with atomic clocks. As an example, the Chinese Professor S.W.Zhou believed that at least one of his cesium clocks changed its rate in the path of a solar eclipse. See
http://home.t01.itscom.net/allais/blackprior/zhou/zhou-1.pdf Look simply at the graphs. Zhou believed that cesium itself changed its rate, and instead I believe that the cesium- steered crystal "jumped". The plots actually would suggest jumps. Yes, crystal jumps are rare events. By "jump" I mean what has been well described by Magnus. I had never observed one at home, but clear examples may be often seen on the online GPSDO in Colima, Mexico. Making experiments during eclipses would almost always mean that a measuring instrument should be put in the eclipse path. This is not always possible, or at least it is quite expensive. So, I thought to take advantage of remote crystals that could transmit data about themselves while crossing eclipses. As far as I can understand, crystal jumps may not be due only to strain release, but also to rapid migration from one to another metastable state and vice-versa. I'm wondering if this could also occur in the presence of special gravitational circumstances such as during eclipses. We have clues (and even more the prior art has) that eclipses are special from the gravitational point of view (something strange and unpredictable does occur, looks like the forces do not play as expected) but we have not yet devised the ultimate undisputable test. We are still collecting clues, and the behavior of crystals in the eclipse path could give its contribution. Maybe the probability to get a significant result is not worth the effort of setting up, but I would like to explore this. Thanks for the tips and for cautioning me against the possible problems. Anyway I take from this brief discussion that there might be some possibility. I will meditate about.
