Read the patent above for details.

I used an overhausser mag (I think it was from ultramag, in Australia) and when I sent it in for a fix-up the guy (who was the main tech) told me it was basically just kerosene in the sensor head.

Dear Willemite,
if it is kerosene in the sensor head, this is normal proton magnetometer, not overhauser proton magnetometer.

it was 100% an Overhausser Magnetometer that I was using. And the guy definitely said Kerosene. Now its been a few years since I used it, so I cannot truly recall what the fluid smelled like.... but it was sure similar to kerosene.

if it is a overhauser mag. , there are two cables to the sensor: one is HF power, the other is signal.

May be the chemical compound was dissolved in kerosene. I don't think pure kerosene can work in RF excitation mode.

That sounds correct, mostly kerosene with a certain amount of whatever free radical was used.
