apparently not, since after I posted nearly 4 pages about the physics concerning such event, I am still accused of
"not answering the two questions"......

We are all in the same boat smOKy.
No one is MH approved here.

to begin I would cite all the works of Edwin Armstrong, and Nikola Tesla
after those who we first deny are forced to concede.
I shall send you to school for the remainder of the evening.

Is Nikola Tesla MH approved?
Maybe NT had it all screwed up as well.

If we go back to the mechanical example.
whether just a simple mechanical oscillator, operating at resonance,
or the large bridge that tears itself apart.....


Would this be a better scenario, than just letting the build-up energies go to waste?

If your answer be a yes or a no,
think about how this would apply to the electronic analogy.

Suppose for an instant, we placed some sort of "dampeners" against these oscillations, to siphon off some of the built-up energies.
rather than creating situations that simply disrupt and dissipate it.

Indeed.
And this is what the high end ICEs do. They load the engine so as they do not self destruct-well in the older one's anyway. Now day's we have things like Rev limiters to stop over revving,and self destruction.

Just a minor wine glass update:  I am assuming that after the big reveal that there will be a lot of challenges, whining, moaning, complaining, resistance, disbelief and showboating.  The simple truth is that I did all of the "analysis" in my head - just in my head.  I didn't have do any Google searches or do any research at all - I just used my background and my wits.  Of course if I said that and just left it at that there would be no end to it, and it would devolve into more reams and reams of trash talk and drive Magluvin nuts.  So I did my Googling and after 20 minutes I have a bullet-proof backup for my upcoming reveal, and it is exactly like I knew it would be.  That will put a stop to the insanity and shut it down.

Well lets hope it work's out a little better that your !no resonance what so ever in an ICE! did.

Resistance you say?
I seem to remember you laughing at me mentioning resistance as being one of the determining factors. I wonder what it is that causes the wine glass to ring down,and stop resonating when you give it one quick sharp tap with a fork or something similar.
