Physical Connection

The Sputnik sensor connects to a titanium cylinder that is inserted into the Bio-Well camera lens. This creates a series of resonance contours — electrical circuits with specific resonant frequencies.

Capacitance Measurement

The bias current in the electrical chain depends on the capacitance (charge-to-potential ratio) between the Sputnik antenna and surrounding grounded/electro-conductive objects. Changes in this capacitance indicate changes in the room's electromagnetic environment.

Continuous Recording

The Bio-Well software records these capacitance readings continuously over time, producing time-series graphs showing how the environmental parameters shift. All data is saved for later analysis and comparison.

What it physically measures

Sputnik detects changes in the electrical capacitance of the space between its antenna and surrounding conductive objects. This is a real, physical measurement — capacitance changes reflect actual shifts in the electromagnetic properties of the environment.

Factors that genuinely affect this reading include: ambient electromagnetic fields, grounded objects, building materials, electronic devices, temperature changes, humidity, and the presence of conductive objects (including human bodies) in the sensor's proximity.

How it's interpreted

The Bio-Well software presents these capacitance readings as "environmental energy parameters" and uses them to compute metrics like "metabolic influence" — how a specific environment might affect human energy based on the measured electromagnetic conditions.

This interpretive layer — translating electromagnetic readings into wellness implications — involves theoretical assumptions that go beyond the raw physics measurement. Practitioners find the interpretations useful in their work, but this aspect has less published validation than the core Bio-Well human scanning technology.
