Just a concept... Possibly.

[Bulbz]

First I will try to explain why I posted this topic...

I know that radio stations give out their signal as waves. But it don't seem to matter how many of us switch on our radios, the station strength still remains the same.

Now... I have read a bit about Nikola Tesla, and correct me if I'm wrong... I think his power emitting coil was supposed to work on the same principal.

Now what I was wondering... Would the same apply to waves in water ?.

What I mean is... Have a ball in the center of a pool of water, and pulse it up and down with a battery powered solenoid, a bit like a transducer.

Then have some wave powered generators around the edge, with cables going back to the solenoid battery to charge it up.

Would the size of the wave, be the same for all eight of the generators as it would for just one generator ?. Or would the wave be proportional to the amount of generators in the system ?.

This is my attempt at describing it graphically...

I will take that as no comment

Interesting  idea .......but  expensive  to test .

If  I was going to  try  this  I would  go  with a doughnut  shaped  float  roughly  the size of   your outer darkened  ring

the  float and the   center  " ball "  would have to be  placed very accurately .

If  you  make one wave with the  ball ........it will  take a specific  time to reach the  edge of the   pool ........then it will bounce back  .......and  because the pool  is round  the  waves will converge in the center .

resonance would not  be easy to achieve  ..........but it is  possable 

some  power  could  be  generated   without  resonance  but the  energy of the  waves    bouncing off the outside of the pool  would interfear  with  the waves  created  by the  ball ..... they would add in some places and   subtract in others .

If I was really  rich  I think I would  try  this  just to see how  high  I could get  the waves to  peak  in the middle ...... I would  put the ball in  the  bottom of the pool 
Come to think ab out it  I wouldn't  use a ball ........  I would have a pipe   and  a method to  " flush " water  though  the pipe  similar  to how a toilet flushes

Cool  ...

So... In a nutshell... You're saying that it could be a valid concept ?.

I   think it  has   some  possabilitys 
I  am not sure that it  would be over unity ........  the  doughnut shaped  float  would  not   reduce  the  resonance  until you  tried  to  take  power  out of the system ......    to take  energy out of the system you  would in effect  be  changing the relative speed of the  float    screwing  up the  resonance .


It  would   be  a truly  impressive   way to   explain resonance  at a  science center  or someplace like that .
