Yes. There are many, many types of spectroscopy. This ones involves magnets and radio frequencies, and can (potentially) tell you things about a liquid which is placed into a thin/tall glass tube. The principle under which it operates is the same as an MRI scanner | Yes. There are many, many types of spectroscopy. This ones involves magnets and radio frequencies, and can (potentially) tell you things about a liquid which is placed into a thin/tall glass tube. The principle under which it operates is the same as an MRI scanner; however, rather than making pictures, it makes squiggly lines. It is not a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Gq3UEAiWio Gas Chromatograph], nor a Mass Spec, as a few have called it... | ||

Celebrations were had by drinking beer with the machine (beige box partaking as well), and relative quantification of ethanol vs water were undertaken with wobbly, but within an order-of-magnitude results. Further adventures planned... It probably works at a given point. Probably needs electronic shimming if it has been sitting for a while. | Celebrations were had by drinking beer with the machine (beige box partaking as well), and relative quantification of ethanol vs water were undertaken with wobbly, but within an order-of-magnitude results.
