". . . . a surge of power from a circle ​….

I've just been going through some old Scots Magazines looking for references to standing stones, and came across this in an '86 issue:

"Until recently, the dowsers' experience had been the only method of finding a possible energy emanation from a stone circle. However, recent experiments with ultrasonic equipment show that there is indeed a surge of power from a circle which increases with the coming of a full moon, or just before sunrise."

is this true?!

Don't ya just hate this type of article that cites something like "recent ultrasonic experiments" as though they arise from an authoratitive scientific study, but then fail to give any references. If it's truly possible to obtain objective scientific measurements of energies emanating from stone circles and to show that they have a high statistical correllation to the phases of the moon, then that would be such a breakthrough that it would be the main story on the BBC evening news. The fact that it has taken 18 years of continual failure to achieve such status ought to tell you something.

It could be the Dragon Project - though I don't know if they did anything in Scotland. I think Paul Devereux's book on it is 'places of power' (but I could be wrong).

Sounds like dodgy pseudo-science at it's glorious best.
But, if I put on my "not-a-totally-sceptical-git" hat on for a second, I'd be willing to theorise that if you bombard a stone with ultrasound, then it might be possible that the sound waves could vibrate any quartz in the stone to release the odd electron or two, in a vaguely piezo-electric manner. These electrons might then generate field which might then be detectable by a magnetometer.
If the stone had enough quartz. If the ultrasound was capable of vibrating the quartz. If enough electrons were released to generate an e.m. field. If the field is strong enough to be detected. And perhaps more importantly, if you really, really wanted to find an energy surge.

I'm quite aware that this is highly dubious reasoning, and would like to declare that I know very little about physics anyway. The conjecture is partly for fun, partly as an exercise in trying to stay fairly open minded.

In thundery conditions, couldn't there be a build up in charge in response to an oppositely charged cloud overhead?

Do Megaliths get struck by lightning less often than might be expected in view of their isolation and height? Perhaps they leak charge from their pointed tops and reduce the instances of strikes. That might show up and be measurable.

If you become aware of a power surge building up in a stone, lie down!

I am not a physicist.
