Since this is my first post, the forum won't let me include url's. I had to remove here, but will post in a reply below.
I am a design student and I'm trying to determine the feasibility of a concept I am working on. It involves sensing the electromagnetic fields in a room including the earth's natural emf, as well as those of cell phones, electronics, etc. I realize I need a pretty sensitive sensor to do this, and I was wondering if anyone had heard of a similar project.
I've done some research, and the sensors that I've found that claim they are that sensitive, seem much more sophisticated than what I need. For example:
I've found other products which seem like they may work, but it's been hard even finding information as to what level of sensitivity would be necessary. Some examples here:
Lastly, since I am very new to arduino and electronics in general, I am not sure what criteria to look for when looking for a sensor than can interface with Arduino.
In my research I came across Usman Haque's Sky Ear project in which he seems to use the technology I am looking for. I am also trying to contact his team to see if they have any suggestions.
Here is a link to that project:
If anyone had any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much for sending that link. That is a very interesting project and somethign I might try out. If I do I'll post the results. In the mean time, if anyone does know of an appropriate ready built sensor, that would also be appreciated.
