CHAPTER 16

THE SMOKE-ALARM EXPERIMENT

During the summer of 1993, on June 6th, just before we moved to Devon, my wife, Marion, and I were awakened from sleep in the early hours of the morning. As we lay wondering why we’d been disturbed at 2:45 am (BST) a loud bleep from the adjoining hallway answered that question. “It’s that damned smoke-alarm”, I said, not in the least amused. I waited a few minutes, but there were no further bleeps from it. It dawned on me that this was unusual because when the battery had needed replacing in the past, the bleeps had continued at one minute intervals. I got out of bed and tested the offender using the test button provided. The noise from it nearly deafened me. Surely, there was nothing wrong with the battery, so I decided not to disconnect it, much to Marion’s disapproval. At 3:10 am. the thing went off again and, in the same way as previously, the bleeping stopped of its own accord. Marion’s disapproval of my determined non-action became rather irritable, but I was intrigued by it all – lost sleep or no lost sleep! “It’s all in the cause of Science”, I said. (She’d heard that excuse before!) We then rested in peace until 4:25 am and further bleeps at 5:10 am. and 5:30 am. ensured that little sleep could be had during that period. However, we were able to sleep thereafter until our normal getting-up time. As we were both now in retirement and would be moving around the bungalow all day, I said I was going to monitor the alarm at frequent intervals to check whether it was going to continue its bad behaviour during daylight hours. But, first, I checked the voltage of the battery. I knew that standard 9v batteries needed replacing when the voltage dropped to 8.2v and, with the alkaline variety, this critical voltage was 7.8v. The normal battery in our alarm gave me a voltage of 8.6v. So, there should have been no problems.

Remembering Mrs. Linda Jones’ experiences and the resulting speculation that perhaps some kind of RF scanning might account for them, (see Part 3, Chapter 21), I wondered if that might also be the cause of our smoke-alarm’s strange behaviour. This prompted me to check the times of our disturbed sleep against the AT’s timing graph for our area. The result was quite startling. Correlation was generally within half-an-hour of predictions and usually less than that. Significantly, there were no bleeps from the alarm during the daylight hours, but they began again at 8:15 pm, 8:35 pm and 8:50pm. (These were shown to correlate well with East Didsbury time predictions, East Didsbury being only about seven miles away). Then there was silence until 10:10 pm and 10:30 pm. Another silence followed until 11:25 and 11:40 pm. All these were in good agreement with predictions. After showing this to Marion, I persuaded her to allow her sleep to be broken for yet another night
