Anyway - back to the matters at hand... yeah, nothing hurts more than
people who claim to sell working devices which gleam gigawatts of output
-- yet they don't stand up to the tests. <sigh> Really makes us all look
bad. One thing I never quite understood was the rampant GREED --- screw
making money on this stuff. Power generation may be a goldmine of
potential sales, but I'd settle for just having the bragging rights alone
(that in itself would make you rich beyond the dreams of avarice).
One thing did get me thinking earlier, however... the idea of resonance
causing atoms/molecules/whatever to expand under pressure. That would be a
VERY interesting way of looking at things -- since it explains how if you
resonate an object and the amplitude is too extreme, it causes it to
shatter (the bonds that tie atoms together simply snap under pressure).
But then I got to thinking: now why would this only occur under resonance?
Well, here it comes -- the way I figure it, the Neutral Center acts as a
sort of "frequency converter". Incoming waves which do not match the
resonance frequency of the atom are absorbed and converted -- the degree
of absorption depends upon just how far up or down the spectrum the wave
is compared to the resonance frequency of the atom. Thus, waves not
matching the resonance frequency of an object cause it to apparently "heat
up".
Finally, this ties in with Keely's concept of heat (sonothermism) -- in
that heat is composed of discrete frequencies (atomic pitch, that sort of
thing). An interesting side note on this is that all of the knowwn
"boiling points" and other phase-transitions of various materials will
varry depending upon the COMPONENT FREQUENCIES OF THE "HEAT WAVE" - NOT
JUST THE MAGNITUDE.
One experiment to prove the frequency-conversion concept would be to take
a mass of known composition and size, and subject it to exposure to
various frequencies of sound and light -- then examine the waves after it
has passed through the material -- use fourier analysis to determine if
the mass converted the differring waves into waves whose frequency matches
it's own.
Anyone care to try it? Anyone have the funds and equipment for such a
task? (Someone for god's sake say yes, damnit!!!) 8)
