happen, at least not to a large extent - though I did actually see to
a small extent the momentum related kinds of traces I originally
expected,
so it may actually be possible to do some kind of ion
spectroscopy using this method.
Howdy Horace,
You you describe how and what you saw (as expected) and a
suggestion on how you would measure with a Spectrometer?
The idea here is not to use a spectrometer, but to invent an entirely
new kind of mass spectrometer, or at least *some* kind of spectrometer.
The idea is to apply a very sharp square wave to a long thin tube of
liquid material and measure the waveform that comes out the other
end. It is then just a matter of building a database using samples
of known materials. It might be useful as a cheap preliminary
screening method for some kinds of water pollution.
