In reply to David Roberson's message of Tue, 1 Oct 2013 00:06:48 -0400 (EDT): Hi, In practice the bell would need to be supported, on an insulating base. I think most of the sound energy would actually end up in the base, not in the metal. The only way to really do your experiment is in orbit, wh

Dave, Speaking of the implications of "sound in a vacuum", or lack thereof - one possibility of interest which may have promise for gain (Maxwell's demon type of gain) involves the so called "singing bowl" phenomena. These bowls can produce sustained ringing for extended periods but are of

Interesting thoughts, David. It made me wonder if strategically induced harmonics fed into the material could be used to increase the amplitude of generated heat of the target material. I would assume controlled frequencies within the ultrasonic range would be used. Could one control or focus wher

I had an interesting thought that I wanted to share with the gang. What would happen if you ring a bell that is totally engulfed within a vacuum? Since there is no way for the energy to escape the bell by being radiated through air one would think that the sound waves contained within the bel
