Funny?

How about solid scientific theory regarding piezoelectric (and some pyroelectric) crystals and electrical fields?

You're missing a good bet here, amigo.

First of all, size of the crystals matter. YOu have big rocks, which are not the size experimentation suggests work well. Proper max size is about half the size of your pinky figernail.

Second, type of crystal (chemical composition) matters. This is NOT the new age bullshit at all where any old crystal will get you to heaven or the space colonies. If you have tourmalines, for example, start with those, particularly the pink and green varieties (black isn't so sonorous). This is not color theory either; the color relates to the chemical composition.

Third, placement matters. Simply placing a bunch of large rocks on top of a metal component is likely to give you vibrational noise, not RFI/EMI reduction! What were you trying to do, keep your dog from pushing it over?

It's time for you to really research here what others have tried successfully, instead of fooling around and just fooling yourself.

BTW, it isn't just naturally occuring crystaline structures that work this way. Piezoelectric materials that are artificially created and aren't necessarily shaped like natural crystals also have these same effects.

Please don't ask me to write to you all the reasons why and the directions. I and others have written enough in the past. Look it up, then try it properly.
