Frequencies and resonance

[HeairBear]

Sure! All objects have resonant frequencies relative to there mass and shape, although, some materials and shapes are easier to vibrate. So, to break the glass, it has to be a certain size and shape and material to be easily broken by sound. This is not the same as cell resonance. Cell resonance is a bit of a misnomer considering the resonance is between the plates much like how a flute works. The air/water(particles) will bounce back and forth between the plates/tubes until it ejects out the exit ports.

Its like a transducer , a very big transducer .

The problem I am trying to solve is the impedance matching of linear amplification to this capacitive load .

I am of the opinion that the alternator method is a good method to use for beginners to experiment with  due to its natural sine wave , the sine wave is the most efficient @ enducing a motion resonance and it is more simple to resolve impedance equations . Problem with an alternator is that it is an inefficient source and is frequency limited , it needs massive amounts of power to run because your passing through lenz law and friction 2 times over when dealing with the electrical motor driving the alternator , so even if you were to reach resonance high production , your power comsumption would make DC still more efficient . So basicly this was designed from the ground up for some sort of hybrid vehicle due to external losses . The qualities of an alternator is that it is easier to match the impedance to a device .

The qualities of linear amplification are efficiency and speed , it can drive nice sine waves for less energy, unfortunately the impedance matching is tricky on a reactive load , we do this with old no feedback methods .

very interesting stuff, but if you use a frequency that makes salt water spontaneously combust that would not be good for under the hood? i mean you would start a fire before reaching the engine!  perhaps a electrical resonance would be better? has anyone played with electrical resonance using the cell as a capacitor?  im currently designing a 555 timer circuit for that purpose.

I believe I've solved the variable frequency problem using a program called Test Tone Generator.  It allows you to choose sine, square, sawtooth, and triangle, up to I think 20khz.

Now I'm trying to figure out how to amplify the voltage of the speaker signal from the stereo.

actually any object that is at its hyperfine plasma wave resonate frequency is the key to the highest efficiency of resonates. not sub frequencies.
