On the contrary James, at least two of us did look closely at this possibility [electrode acoustics].
My associate went to trouble to find and download a mpeg sound file of a bicycle bell of the same general size as Davey's, and plugged it into a program for this kind of analysis - in fact it is dedicated bell analysis software that has proved very accurate for electrodes in the past. The natural acoustic of this hemisphere are nowhere close. The main freq is 4,445.5 Hz, with some sub harmonics, the lowest being around 521/545 Hz, but those are so faint as to be discarded. Higher harmonics are barely above noise. Thus, since the acoustics of the electrodes were off by two orders of magnitude over the signature sound, we did not think that electrode acoustics were in any way relevant as an alternative explanation, or otherwise worth pursuing. Jones From: James Bowery As I <http://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l@eskimo.com/msg73144.html> previously advised: "Look at the acoustics of the electrodes." Since this advice seemed to make no impact on the discourse here at vortex-l, let me expand: Acoustic resonance in the metallic electrodes does have a reasonable chance of bearing directly on the creation of the "nuclear active environment" hypothesized to exist. I don't think I need to expland on list the possibilities here. Moreover, if one looks at the speed of sound in metals, the "430kHz LENR signature" regime corresponds to the thickness of the cathodes frequently reported as exhibiting the phenomena. Need I say more?
