I was in a Burger King in Binghamton NY once and ordered a burger with no ketchup. It only took three attempts to not put ketchup on my burger, the ketchup squirter guy was really industrious. I had to yell really loudly "NO KETCHUP" as he held the squirter in his hand poised ready to squirt red goo on the third burger. He had a badge that read "Hello, I'm Ben", too. Perhaps he's the same Binge Jocaby and wants to be the new janitor.

"Maxwell Revisited" is an article written by Ivor Catt. Ivor Catt translated his own article into German and that was at one time on a now defunct website. He refers to the diagram on that website - which you can manage without if you have an imagination - to illustrate the text of his article. I don't think anyone but you mentioned aether. > >I won't say "idiot", no point in stating the obvious. -- John Kennaugh

The sonic boom is well known, the sound pressure rises sufficiently to break windows. It's no different to a speeding boat making pebbles on the lakeshore or river bank move. In the Kundt's tube air molecules are travelling in opposite directions and meet at a node, doubling the pressure. In the antenna it's the electrons that do that, but it is the LC rather than the RC circuit that best models it. http://www.thekeeser.com/Electronics%20info/measure_an_unknown_inductor.htm

That is not what I was talking about. And I don't care if you don't care if I don't care if... All the best, Bill > > |
