One further note and addenda. And a possible "eureka moment"... I have received some interesting related information from Mitchell Swartz which will be covered in a latter post based on von Hippels' "Dielectrics and Waves" and Michell's paper in IE : Swartz. M., "Dances with Protons - Ferroelectric Inscriptions in Water/Ice Relevant to Cold Fusion and Some Energy Systems", Infinite Energy, 44, (2002).
This present posting which follows is related to the small (or not) item in the previous post about the very long kinetic reverberation period of Tibetan singing bowls, and the possible application of phonon-photon resonance to an OU energy device. It has probably not escaped notice that the thick MAHG anode may have certain related properties to bowls of this general type and/or that "thermoacoustics" is a hot topic these days in energy conversion. Even on the far fringe of science, these kinds of speculations should be kept as accurate as possible - with as little resort to anecdote as possible. I actually have a Tibetan bowl, and knew of their unusual properties, but had written an expert for more information. The answer came today - too late to include in the prior post, but was indeed quite a surprise - more like a shock. I am going to include portions of this message: "The length of tone varies enormously [snip}. The average for audible tones is about 40 seconds, which some harmonic tones lingering longer [snip] Anything one minute or more is fairly exceptional. Very thick antiques tend to ring longer but here are some new bowls that ring for a very long time - up to 3-4 minutes. Ironically, the long ring is achieved with very inexpensive metal - copper - and the cheap new bowls may ring long, but they don't sound very good." END of quote. In the previous posting I had opined that 30 seconds would have been exceptional, possible overunity in terms of kinetics, but had no knowledge of the fact that copper would "ring" for 3-4 minutes - so long as one were not terribly concerned about sound quality. Wow. Of course, in a heating-device situation, where one was intentionally removing energy, the ring-time would be reduced, but the prospect of this is enormously interesting in the context of thermoacoustics. As noted previously we have never been privy to a wiring diagram, but the anode of MAHG appears to "float" and seems to be ungrounded. This is important in the context of a thermoacoustic anode - which can become (if floating) a "virtual AC electrode at the ringing frequency. This new message from the Tibetan bowl expert is very interesting in that it pinpoints copper itself in a bowl-like configuration as having very long potential rings times. Combine that detail with the knowledge that high heat would probably squelch the ringing - and we could very possibly be closer to understanding one element of what may be going-on in a complex process - the MAHG. [WITH THE USUAL CAVEATS]....But more importantly, perhaps we are being led to an alternative (improved) method of achieving results, using a multi-layered excitation (different overlapping frequencies) and a much reduced duty <5% duty cycle. Ockham be damned....plus, the merger of science and spirituality in a absolutely mind-blowing and unexpected way. Jones
