Lords of the Ring

"When I began to study the effects of multiple frequencies combined together I found out that when you deliberately strive to create the worst case scenario of frequencies you start to get some very measurable kicks."

and the patent sais:

Steven has placed 2 microphones inside the speaker in the amplification feedback loop!
My job is done.
How fast can you blow an amp?  The coils and rings are speakers. Thank you Marco.
This has been very, very real for me!

--giantkiller. Shift happens...

the patent referents to another one :5850455 Discrete dynamic positioning of audio signals in a 360.degree. environment

it shows the big ball which can be rotated in two directions and some other intresting things.

also there is a link to another patent United States Patent 6829361 Headphones with integrated microphones.

this deals with speakers combined with mic's combined.

also involves generating a third so called phantom source from two real sources.

...construction techniques of the SM15 & SM17s.
...Flip it over and what do you have? Any size ring you need!
Remember though, the diameter controls the 2 frequencies and the height distance between the collectors.

Great idea to use gravity as a fixture, GK.

SM wanted, not only to build the correct architecture, but also to conceal the correct architecture.  The foam and plastic are great for both of these objectives.

However, I feel that he may have paid a small price for his concealment: extra heat buildup.

As long as we have a rigid structure, we can open it up a bit to allow some convective cooling to take place; maybe add some large cooling vents between the loops.

I know it is a little early to start thinking about this final refinement but the open-source TPU can run cooler than the patented version because we have nothing to hide.

I certainly agree with this line of thinking and I want to point out what I consider important points and just kind of think out loud on the fly. By the way, I babble like this into my engineering notebooks and then study what I write down. So I like to think of formus, such as this one, as a public domain engineering notebook. Open source engineering....works for software........will work here also. I will openly post all that I find and will not fade away leaving anyone without the details.

What happened to the output of the TPU's when a neo mag is dropped in the center? I would expect regenerative a degenerative induction from the moving magnetic field of the neo and fixed conductors. A little bit of "extra" amplitude but we definitely worked for it by producing the fields that moved the mag in the first place. Hmmm........Can we move the Earth's magnetic field a little bit? If so are we not placing additional tension, potential, into the equation by doing that. Can we then relax our tensioning of that field and capture the induced, in positive, regenerative, phase. When I want a circuit to oscillate, i.e. build and oscillator amplifier, I provide positive feedback from the amp's output to the amp's input. This is a self reinforcing condition and as GK says if left out of control will blow out amplifiers, and speakers, and fuses, and etc. So the mechanism is there, but we supply all of the input power to support the various wave disturbances. What we need is to provide some energy from outside of our systems and couple that into them in positive feedback phase with the input signals. That will have a very dramatic effect if I have a magnetic field that I don't have to pay for and one that won't deplete due to exposure to AC fields. Holy crap.......the earth has one of those available and we stand right in it every day of our lives. So the kicks are the interaction with the earth and they are little things, but a load of them provided back in the correct phase i.e. the first 90 degrees of a sinusoid will add in regenerative superposition to each other.



As Artie Johnson used to say on Laugh In.........Very....Very....Interesting.

This is the line of reasoning I'm following. This is why I'm building digital controls and using computers. I'm revisiting FFT and DFT and all my AC theory goodies plus looking at natural positive feedback mechanisms.
It seems to me that the fixed magnetic field of the planet is certainly the external additional source and I need to understand how to interact and couple with that. Just as long as I remember to sense, monitor, and control it....lest I generate smoking components. Ahhhh....the use of sensors and fast realtime processing. Open source is going to change the world........again........my friends.
