Thesis (MTech (Electrical Engineering))--Peninsula Technikon, 2003 / The scientific investigation of Kirlian photography has always been a
contentious issue. Unreliable instrumentation and incomplete documentation
characterized initial research efforts of most investigators. An instrument was
designed and consttucted which addressed these concerns. Using modem engineering
techniques a portable instrument which can take near instant quality photographs was
produced. Important design features include :
• Virtually Instant Pictures - The setup time can be very fast, a specimen can be
ready in seconds
• Complete Digital Camera Control via software
• High voltage and frequency can also be controlled via the software
• Galvanic isolated high voltages which protects the user
• Automated. monitoring and recording environment Offiine/Internet Viewing - It is possible to review past experiments
The product presented in this dissertation makes use ofstandard microcontroller
hardware and software design theory and practises as well as conventional personal
computer PC programming techniques. Standard electrical theory was also applied
throughout to deliver safe and effective device.
