I must've missed a few classes; are you talking about creating or removing heat in a general sense, starting an atomic nuclear reaction, or simply producing energy? I joined the group last night and, obviously, missed a few emails, too. Just curious.Bob Lee Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

Thank you for posting the Mr. Wizard video. It was an excellent demonstration. Here is a simply circuit which performs non-linear mixing of two waves. http://spaz.org/~magi/grh/img/am-circuit-1.jpg The diode is the non-linear circuit element which does the heterodyning. This circuit is an

The nonlinearity must be attached to the cathode itself because a THz signal will not go through even 1 micron of electrolyte. In the Letts-Cravens-Hagelstein experiment, a tiny amount of gold was added to the cathode to produce the nonlinearity. Did it work because it formed a diode junction?

Sounds fascinating. May I ask: what are you using as your non-linear element, to cause the two laser beams to heterodyne? Is it the target they shine on, itself? On Wed, Oct 14, 2020, 15:19 Bob Higgins wrote: > Sean, > > What you are describing is entirely possible. Also, diode lasers can

Hi Harry, interesting thought... The film camera isn't a pattern contributor toward Moire interference patterns, but it does have a random granularity in the photo emulsion. Could the 'freaky patterns' that are created by overlaying random dots, linked below, qualify as your "sampling

The Moire effect is the result of spatial undersampling an image, and the Moire pattern is the aliasing. This is the reason that Canon and many other camera manufacturers put an optical blurring filter in front of the image sensor. The blurring filter is a spatial lowpass filter to prevent the

Rumford's used an acoustic model of hot and cold radiation to give equal existence to hot and cold radiation but the acoustic model has serious limitations. I think a hole model would still treat hot radiation as fundamental and cold radiation as only a secondary phenomena. Moire patterns might
