Here is that same video without music so you can hear the actual tones.

MH, is this real?  Does sound really make these shapes or is it some sort of special effects vid?

Cool I watched this while testing the resonance of some more wine glasses.   Oscilloscope provide a nice visuals as well.

Brad:

Both you and Smoky2 have already been proven to be "resonance poseurs" simply because you can't answer those two very simple questions about resonance.  You both have failed and now you are just trying to do damage control.  Since you have this near mental obsession with never being perceived as being wrong you don't like it one bit.

I will give you an analogous question to make you think about this situation.

Suppose someone says, "How do you determine the maximum speed of your car in simple terms?"

Here is what you and Smoky are doing:

Well, it's very complicated.  The shape of the car has a coefficient of air friction, and then you can't forget the wind speed, and the nature of the road surface.  It depends on what gear the car is in and if it is going up hill or down hill or is on a flat surface.  Not sure what grade of gasoline is in the gas tank either.  Oops, there may be crosswinds also.  Also, the types of tires on the car make a difference, and we don't know if the tire pressure is correct in all of the tires.  Oh, the temperature of the air affects the density of the air also.  Then there is the displacement of the engine and how new the spark plugs are and if the fuel injectors are clean.

Oh no, I know the answer!  You get in the car and drive it as fast as it will go and you look at the speedometer!!!!   That was easy!

That's what you are doing, a bloody song and dance routine.

How do you determine the maximum speed of your car in simple terms?

The answer is the maximum speed of the car is determined from where the maximum horsepower that can be output by the engine is in balance with all of the air friction and various other friction forces.

And you guys clearly can't do that for the wine glass and if you truly understood resonance you would be able to do it no problem.

Salut les blaireaux,

Tinman figthing against MileHigh about JTs and wine glass resonant frequency
Water glass would had been more 'politically correct'. No?

Pathetic.... Come on!
For my part, I drink (French) wine and avoid useless debates.

JTs are fine and even 'OU'. Perhaps not the JT, itself, but the Leds.
You can "light" (= get some 'brilliance' out of old fashioned = round shaped (220V-1/2 watt(s)) AC Leds Bulbs)
with practically only voltage.

Guess watts? No more available !

One of my (secret) vid. In French sorry. But should be understandable.

"Allumer des LEDS avec presque rien" = Lighting Leds with practically nothing.

Brad:

So how is it determined?-- (in this case)it was determined by way of using a microphone and scope.

You are making a fool of yourself.

So you see,his question is loaded,and has many meanings,and so his question(once again) is not definitive it self-much like the one he asked EMJ some time back on EMJs thread.

The questions about the wine glass are not loaded, but you have to actually know what you are talking about.

You are outright lying about the very simple question that I asked EMJ that he could not answer.  If he actually understood how a coil worked and knew what he was talking about, he would have been able to answer the question without batting an eyelash.  Instead he threw everything he had at the very simple question and failed.  You are in a way in the same boat that he was in.

There are some important principles at play here.  Look at the case of Gerard Morin.  Many people with good knowledge have looked at his clips and stated unequivocally that the nice French man does not know what he is talking about.  I am pretty sure that TK looked at some of his clips and said that.

So you have perhaps three groups of people with different views about Gerard Morin:

1st group:  He is a fraud and he does not know what he is talking about.
2nd group:  He is a legitimate free energy researcher and he produces free energy from transformers
3rd group:  Don't care, or don't know of him.

I think it is fair to say that most people on this forum are in the first group and have very low confidence in his ability to make proper measurements on his transformers and his claims of over unity after looking at some of his clips.

The debate is not useless.  "Resonance" is not a meaningless buzz word, it actually means something specific.  Plus we know that many free energy con artists use the "magic word of resonance" to make their pitches.

If we are going to talk about resonance then we should understand it.
