Joule Thief 101

[Pirate88179]

OK

What if you were sitting in a bell tower, drinking wine from a glass while playing guitar and pushing a small child on a little swing with your foot?

Would the universe as we know it implode?

Self-resonant??? (SRF)

So now there is a capacitance within the wine glass,, guitar string and a tuning fork??

How does the air drain away the energy without changing the frequency,, how does that air around the guitar string make the other strings amplitude increase so that they can be causally observed??

In short the air is in resonance with the string.

This is a classically used example that you have called ridiculous.

Okay Webby, so you have been bluffing.  And Brad is off in La-La Land backing you up.  There is mechanical capacitance in the guitar string and the wine glass when you analyze the physical systems.  I stand by what I am saying and for this basic stuff I know what I am talking about.  So let's just put this whole damn thing to bed.  Just watch the new thread about the vibrating magnet on a stick.  It's like a lab experiment for a junior college physics class.  See if anybody arrives at a conclusion or if it just withers and dies.  Don't expect to ever see a "resonant Joule Thief" thread, which was the reason I entered into this sometimes-crazy debate in the first place.

Wow...

Is it that hard for you guys to accept?
Too big to be taught by those you think are beneath you?.

Did i,or did i not explain,show and provide evidence to MH of existing resonant systems that exist around an ICE,that greatly improves performance and efficiency?,when he said they do not in any way,shape ,or form.
Did i ,or did i not provide evidence and prove to MH ,that resonant systems exist within the ICE it self,that also improve performance and efficiency ? when he said they do not in any way,shape ,or form.
The teacher became the student
Have i,or have i not provided correct and accurate information and examples of what resonance is?.

Wow indeed.

Wow indeed...

Now _my brain_ is hurting from reading this foolishness.

Yes Mr J/FET,i bet it is.
Looking back on your mistakes throughout this thread must be painful

How do you link the oscillations of the wine glass and the Tacoma Narrows bridge?.

If my mistakes are a mouse, then your mistakes are an elephant.  But of course that is problematic territory for your psyche.  It's up to you to link the oscillations of the wine glass with the Tacoma Narrows bridge in order to demonstrate some competence in the subject matter.
