" ....... Then there are the crickets. My son's experiment concerns the
effect of
environmental pollutants on the chirp rate of crickets. More
importantly we discovered another interesting fact. Crickets can detect
the presence of a microphone or stopwatch and in either circumstance
they will immediately cease chirping. It is uncanny. A vacuum cleaner,
a loud party, heavy metal music (okay maybe not) etc., will not
dissuade them from chirping but in an animal demonstration of
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle any attempt at measurement shuts
them up. ....."

With regard to my earlier email I did these searches:
"detects the presence of a microphone" batteries
Got one result, containing both
"detects the presence of a microphone"
Got no results
Does this make sense to anyone?
I'm still looking for that device... if anyone can help.
