Why is an Acoustic Guitar so much LOUDER than an Electric Guitar?

The Observer is astounded that no-one wants to Talk about Resonance... How it Works or Why Tesla and Stan used it daily to achieve extraordinary results. !

Point 1

The string of an acoustic Guitar vibrates longer...(this is a fact anyone can check)
                            and certainly doesn't vibrate 1000 times shorter. (the magnitude of the amplification)

Whoever wrote this article in Wiki never tested this !!!!!!!

Point 2

An unamplified guitar??/ Compared to what??
   This implies the other situation is amplified. (an acoustic)

        Can't have it both ways !!!

Let's talk about resonance and how it works Mon.

Absolutely not true.  Your "experiment" with the acoustic guitar is flawed since you do not acknowledge that energy from the plucked high E is transferred mechanically to the sound board and then to the low E and A.  If you want to prove this for yourself, de-tune your low E and A until they are slack and time how long your high E rings.  It will ring longer than when you are damping your low E and A.  This is because when you damp your low E and A you are in effect also damping your high E, since they are mechanically coupled through the bridge and sound board.

An unamplified guitar??/ Compared to what??

The article clearly states that an unamplified guitar is "one with no soundboard at all".  Similar to a solid body electric (not plugged in).  The (unlpugged) electric guitar string rings longer, but quieter.  The longer ring time (sustain) is arguably the main feature that leads many guitarists to the electric guitar.  Can't get it with an acoustic.  Unless you start inducing some sort of feedback, either mechanical or acoustic.

Sure.  Resonance is neat.  But I'd prefer to talk about something that has to do with "free energy".  Resonance produces some interesting effects, but not free energy as far as I'm aware.

Hey Mon.

1. Forget about the Acoustic only experiment...

     This is a true statement...
     
     Same string...Same Strum... Acoustic String vibrates longer than Electric String.

                                          I have tested this.

2.   The point is when they state unamplified... logic dictates that it is being compared to an amplified guitar.

       Why this makes no sense is that they state an acoustic guitar is unamplified.

        Get it?

3. Why you won't even address the fact that Tesla and Stan used resonance to achieve their results is highly suspicious.

Kind Regards,
