Is the KICK a shockwave ?

Its back to the John Worrell Keely's hydro-vacuo machine, which looks like something out of Jules Verne, probably because it dates roughly to that era.

Stephan,

Many ways to look at it.  Start with simple tests. 

Signals on one wire or two wires?  With speaker wire or electric cord - two wires parallel - signals can pass in opposite direction - each induces field in other opposite to itself - can you time correctly to have signals combine like superpositioned waves?  Start with vry accurate frequency and phase shift until you get superposition .  Use coil around the two wires to detect.

Hi Grumpy,
great idea,
so not using just one wire to drive one pulse from each end,
but using 2 wires in parallel.
Probably gives more coupling, when used in twisted pair  or not ?
But normallyin telephone lines twisted pair is also used to REDUCE the coupling,
so probably twisted pair is NOT good for a bigger coupling !??


I wonder, how I could do it just with 1 wire ?

If we look at the analogon of a long spring 2 people holding at the end.
If each person makes an amplitude pulse at each end
the two transversal hills will just superimpose like:

But what happens, when we use a longitudinal pulse at each end ?

The question is, if our voltage pulse fed in at each end is a transversal
pulse or a longitudinal pulse ?

I really want to collide these little spinning "gyrsocopic" particles,
as if these collide, they really fly a away with a huge force and convert their
spinning energy into radiation...
I lately tested something like this with some kids gyroskopic toys,
which you could put in glas bowl and when they hit with each other in the right manner,
each was flying really apart across the whole room !

So how can we generate this effect in a wire or in 2 wires ?
any ideas ?

I think a longitudinal pulse on each side is much more better to get
a real shockwave inside a long wire !

Maybe one could do it this way:

Have a long coil with a center tap and
apply at each end Plus 1000 Volts DC.
Then shortly tap the center tap to ground potential ( zero volt)
and a current pulse will travel from each coils end into direction
center tap and before it reaches it, you have already removed the
ground potential there..
So what will happen,
when the 2 wavefronts will meet at the center ?
Will they colloide and produce radiation at 90 degrees ?

Google something like this:  superposition parallel wires opposite

wait, how about hydrogen and oxygen and then clash in a fuel cell = electric???
