another small breakthrough on our NERD technology.

Ahhh.... MH, remember this blast from the past, which you kindly linked on that other forum, exactly one year ago tomorrow?

It's deja vu all over again.

@hoptoad:

You have some experience in these matters. I ask you to look at the construction of Rosemary Ains-lie's circuit in the images from their video that FTC and I have posted. Do you see that all the "gang of four" mosfets have their gates, drains and sources hooked up with long clipleads and ALLIGATOR CLIPS clipped to those long threaded rods? What do you think is the likely result of this construction technique?
..snip...

Hmmmm... One of my bosses (years ago) used to have a saying : If your workspace is a birds nest, then expect some bird droppings.

Even if the circuit was operating in a very low frequency range, stray inductance and capacitive leakage introduced by messy wiring configurations can become an issue.

Not only for measurement purpose but also with regard to the actual operation of the base circuit. Within the rf range, the issues of stray inductance and capacitance throughout the entire circuit (including the measurement probes) becomes more pronounced. Neatness, and minimalism are your two best friends.

Cheers

Guys I've had to play catchup.  I thought I'd do a synopsis from post 1511 - for easy reading - enjoy.

  1511 TK
.  Anxious to advise readers that he really is 72 inches long
.  Asks Rosemary to teach him the significance of the ‘green trace’
.  Again.
.  Asks her to believe that PER signifies ‘division’
.  When it actually represents a base unit of measurement
.  That can be used in any mathematical context required
.  Including addition, subtraction and multiplication
.  Urgent appeal to be ‘PROVED WRONG’
.  Recommends that readers equate him to Steven Hawking
.  Somehow?
.  Not sure that’s possible.
.  Steven Hawking is a genius
.  Demands to be taught about a ‘green trace’
.  Assures readers that he’ll keep asking this until he DIES
.  Or alternatively…
.  Actually he offers no alternatives.
.  Stefan has undertaken NOT to lock this thread.

1512  Poynty Point
.  Tries to get TK to focus on the topic
.  Gives him another free lesson in the art of circuit analysis.
.  Which has the dubious value of being marginally topical
.  But says little about TK’s assumed knowledge of this
.  From that declared ENGROSSED STUDY
.  Of everything related to Rosemary Ainslie

[Rosemary Ainslie]

  1513 TK
.  Asks about the 5^th resistor
.  Refers to his previous work on OUR.com.
.  When he posted there as HUMBUGGER
.  Insists that the work was relevant
.  Tries to pin the anomalies on inductance from wires
.  Claims that the NERD team never measured the inductance on wires
.  Claims they don’t have the collective competence
.  Complains that Rosemary Ainslie has no WIT
.  Tells readers NOT to think that he’s Humbugger
.  But why would they?
.  Humbugger was NOT 72 inches long
.  Clearly NOT the same person
.  Humbugger assured us his (sorry) correction, he was â€" no longer than a pickle.

1514  POYNTY POINT
.  Poynty concurs
.  Sort of
.  Here and there

1515  TK
.  More evidence that he’s not up to scratch
.  Has NO idea which circuit to use
.  Reminds all and sundry that this is HIS work
.  And that everyone’s distracting him
.  Or thoughts of Rosemary Ainslie are distracting him
.  Or both.
.  Claims Rosemary Ainslie is misleading him
.  Confusing him
.  Or both
.  Deliberately or otherwise
.  Appeals to her to teach him
.  Please
.  Please, please.  Said many times
.  Complains that he has to drive 300 miles
.  For some obscure reason
.  Asks a question about a frequency
.  Then tells the readers that he already knows the answer

[Rosemary Ainslie]

  1516 TK
.  Mentions again that Rosemary Ainslie knows how tall he is
.  Suggests that she’s confused him with?
.  Not sure who. 
.  He seems to think she cares
.  Rosemary Ainslie knows exactly who he is
.  Which is Humbugger
.  Because they’ve got that ‘length’ thing in common
.  Which is considerably less than 72 inches Per pickle
.  Divisible or otherwise
.  LOL

1517 ROSEMARY AINLSIE
.  Tries to get the subject topical
.  Fails dismally

1518  ROSEMARY AINSLIE
.  Compares TK to Hitler
.  Savonarola
.  Mussolini
.  Tries to wrest back ownership of her thread
.  Fails dismally
