Precise Underground Observations of the Partial Solar Eclipse of 1 June 2011 Using a Foucault Pendulum and a Very Light Torsion Balance

Abstract: Simultaneous observations of the solar eclipse on 06/01/2011 were carried out using a Foucault pendulum and a torsion balance. The instruments were installed in a salt mine, where the interference was minimal. Both instruments clearly reacted to the eclipse. We conclude that these reactions should not be considered as being gravitational effects.

“…The instruments were inside a large (~1 km 3 ) wet monoblock of NaCl and reliably protected from any external electromagnetic influences, except for the hard cosmic rays. Nevertheless, the devices clearly reacted to eclipses [11] [19]. And their responses correlated with the reaction of the Foucault pendulum installed in the same place, and a paraconical pendulum mounted on the surface of the Earth.…”
