Seizmograf

Seizmometri (grč. seismós - potres, gráphō - pisati, beležiti) su uređaji koji mjere pomicanje tla, uključujući seizmičke valove uzrokovane potresima, nuklearnim eksplozijama i drugim seizmičkim izvorima. Bilježenje seizmičkih valova omogućava seizmolozima da naprave prikaz unutrašnjosti Zemlje, odnosno lociraju i odrede efekte tih seizmičkih izvora.

Osim izraza seizmometar se koristi i seizmograf, iako ponekad više za starije uređaje u kojima su bilježenje i mjerenje seizmičkih valova vršili različiti mehanizmi.

Seizmometri i seizmografi se razlikuju od seizmoskopa koji je uređaj koji jedino bilježi da je do došlo do seizmičkog vala, ne odajući podatke o njegovoj lokaciji i dimenzijama.

This superior design uses a zero-length spring to achieve a 60 second period, active feedback and a uniquely convenient variable reluctance differential transducer, with parts scavenged from a hardware store. The frequency transform is carefully designed, unlike most amateur instruments. Morrisey is deceased, but the site remains up as a public service.
