Sneek Tidal Interference
Also: STI
The novel method Bentworthe used in 1762 to indirectly measure the magnetic field of Neith.
Sneek Tidal Interference (STI) is a method of measuring a magnetic field indirectly. Its first recorded use was by Bentworthe, in Prague in 1762, to measure the magnetic field of Neith.
Marcus Aurelius Chamberlain Bentworthe, while in Prague in 1762, succeeded in using the novel method of Sneek Tidal Interference (STI) to indirectly measure the magnetic field of Neith; yielding B = (1.2 ± 0.3) Gauss.
The table of sightings records Bentworthe's 1762 Prague sighting as "An indirect observation based on the principle of sneek tidal interference from the magnetic field of Neith."
