        <description>How to build and test an NQR spectrometer, which is similar to MRI, but uses no magnets.  NQR frequencies are unique among all tested compounds, so detecting a resonance indicates a near certainty that a specific chemical is present. Tektronix 2-series oscilloscope: https://www.tek.com/en/products/oscilloscopes/2-series-mso Video capture was done via VNC client Zeeman effect shifting optical spectral lines: https://youtu.be/JV4Fk3VNZqs?t=74 Atomic clock calibration using Zeeman effect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTy1kY_wtsY W2AEW's RF tutorial on quarter wave transmission lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1BAq0KxIdc Water deflected by electric field: https://youtu.be/NjLJ77IuBdM?t=468 Litz wire only helpful between 50KHz and 1.5MHz - https://youtu.be/FUCRB9UdfUg?t=2010 Support Applied Science on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AppliedScience Q/A Why use vacuum variable capacitors? The parallel LC circuit develops well over 1000 volts during transmit, and they are much easier to finely adjust over a large range. I've spent quite a few hours making this work since late last year.  I failed to detect a signal from urea, which burned dozens of hours.  Switching to NaNO2 suddenly produced a huge signal.
