The Monk singing bowl= HHO

[jeanna]

I have a primitive sound making program on my computer. On its keyboard which is surely tuned to A=440, I found that the sub harmonic tone is in fact 2 octaves and one fifth below the 'tapped' tone of the bowl with water in it. The tones of the bowl are not exact and seem to be just a bit higher (sharper) than the keyboard but are F# and C# - C# being the first tone we hear with the tap of the stick on the bowl.

@Hans,
I jusr read almost all of your website and I am really curious why you think cavitation is what is happening here?

G'day all,

@Jeanna,

Here is an audio oscilloscope and spectrum analyser. You have to have the audio input file in .wav format .

The programme is quite small and once unzipped runs of its icon, no installation necessary

Hope this helps

from past observation of cavitation in ultrasonic cleaning tanks. It looks just like it.

I guess my ? should be why don't you think cavitation and what keely was doing are related? I guess if the resultant bubbles don't explode is the reason. Keely blew things up a few times before he found what made things blow up.

But the process he was doing sounds very close to what I see in that bowl. Things like using sound for tickling things to get them started but then they keep going with more results or with less input.

Doesn't it?

Blowing apart  props and things with the force unleashed from water when the water molecules have merely been excited enough to form bubbles (by cavitation) seems similar to me ... etc.

I think there is an electro static factor as well. all the video's of the phenomenon I've watched so far show the water following or just a mist following the wooden mallet that is used to do the circle movement on the edge of the bowl the cavitation seems to stay stationary tho .. weird

You are quite correct Jeanna, the phenomena are related.

The way I see it, cavitation occurs first. As the intensity of the overtones increases even higher harmonics are generated leading to sonoluminescence thereafter we get into dissociation of water on a molecular level, the real effects occur on the subatomic level where these enormous forces Keely talks about are released.

Still, just guessing, I have not been able to duplicate it yet.
