The Super Gear Boy is a fictional device used in the Game Sally Face by the main protagonist, Sal Fisher. It is used to detect the energy waves ghost. The SGB (Super Gear Boy) had originally been an advantage gearboy from the 90s, however, after needing enhancements, Sal went to his friend Todd. After messing with the machinery and adding extra parts, the Super Gear Boy was created. The SGB was then on used to detect supernatural hot spots, And play video games.
The SGB most likely works in the same form of EMF meters, just as other ghost detectors. We are aware that the SGB works like EMF meters because in episode 4, when Sal uses the SGB, it picks up signals from TVs and radios. When radiation passes inside a detector, it causes ionization of gas atoms, separating atoms into positive ions and electrons. Separated electrons and positive ions are attracted to the electrodes, causing a current to flow. This is converted into electric signals, which are then measured as the amount of radiation. However I am unaware if the same process goes for EMFs (Including the SGB), Ionization energy is positive for neutral atoms, meaning that the ionization is an endothermic process.
Sally Face takes place mostly in the 90s, so we can guess that they used a walkie talkie of the time. Handheld CB radios or Walkie Talkies, took 10 AA batteries. 10 AA batteries while working are classified as an exothermic. This is because the reaction in the anode creates electrons, and the reaction in the cathode absorbs them, The net product is electricity.
The antenna is taken off of from Larry’s Police scanner. After Sal gives Todd the piece it is used to sense ghosts energy waves. the antenna is absorbing the energy it is radiating from the transmitter, making this an endothermic interaction, due to the fact that the antenna is from a basic police scanner.
The Gear Boy was based off of the original Game Gear. The Game Gear is an 8-bit handheld game console released by Sega on October 6, 1990 in Japan, in April 1991 throughout North America and Europe. Gaming consoles and computers use the same functions, so we’ll be going off computers. When you turn on a computer, the CPU starts and fetches instructions into RAM from the BIOS, which is stored in the ROM. Turning on a computer is generally an exothermic process, although the heat generated is quite minimal.
