Display !!!!!

If you look at the pictures WHERE this spiral is placed -
its also quite possible that this part is used to "display"
the activity of frequencies.
If a frequency tuned to a specific swinger is present - it vibrates.
"rpm" "display".

I think the display idea is not too bad.

G'day all,

I have just received permission to publish the e-mail I spoke about earlier.

Subject: Keely's 'diatonic scale'

Hi Hans,

I saw your correspondence on Keely?s ?diatonic scale?. I thought an approach to the problem might be to create 3D images of possible solutions and compare them with the original image. I wrote a short Python script (attached) to create a suitable model, using the Visual Python library. The attached GIF is a screenshot. You can rotate and zoom the image using the mouse. The script can be edited to create different dimensions and distributions of rods.

This won?t undo any distortions like fisheye in the original image, but it may give you a little more to work with. Ideally, it would be nice to have a transparent window to overlay the images. That might take a little longer?

Python can be downloaded from www.Python.org. Visual Python can be downloaded from www.Vpython.org. You need to install Python first, then Vpython. The Vpython package, once installed, can be found in the Python25\lib\site-packages\visual directory. When installing Vpython, you have to check the box for either the Numeric or Numarray module. I found that Numeric worked, but with Numarray I had problems. There are directories for examples and documentation included with the visual package. Visual Python was designed for teaching Physics, so some of the examples are quite interesting, particularly as they can be mathematically accurate as well as visual. The double pendulum example is worth looking at.

Thanks Graham, great job.

No, Fritz,

It was definitely not for this. There is one scale on the motor and one on the liberator. Both devices are in resonance with each other. Keely used to draw small tubes of gum over some of these resonators, that much is documented.

I believe the scales were Keely's attempt to control unwanted frequencies occurring with a sort of acoustic regenerative feedback.

Hi Hans and everybody,
just thought I would drop my two cents as regards the principles of these devices.
Recently due to the one invention commercialization project I am working at, I was "forced" to focus on the phenomena of cavitation. I believe native English speakers should be more familiar with the less formal name of "water hammer".
Small bubbles forming and collapsing within the water cause cavitation. This collapse (although microscopic) has a great power able to totally deform hard metal. That?s why the caviation historically have been fought against rather than stimulated or researched further.
Recently the scientific community have started to analyze this process further and have found a number of applications of this process. Although the exact source of massive power from those mini-explosions have not yet been established, some of scientists believe that this is caused by microscopic reaction of HOH. It is explained as due to the circumstances under which cavitation starts, small bubbles are actually a water split up into H and OH. As those have different potential, it causes microscopic spar across the bubble, which results in explosion of the bubble.
Different methods for achieving cavitation exist. One used in food processing is done by the means of ultrasound.

Could it be possible that the same effect was achieved by Keely and others and due to some modifications they stopped those explosions?

Yes aiks,

Keely reported sonoluminescence he achieved by purely acoustic means. This phenomenon was not re-discovered until 1934. For more detail on this look at my website http://keelytech.com/sonoluminescence.html which gives a rundown on the phenomenon. It is exactly the kind of thing you are talking about.
