I like Charles Link's ion theory. It might be interesting to set up an experiment and test it out. I suggest getting a plastic outlet box, a 120v outlet and a cover plate from your local hardware/building supply. Cut the outlet end off an extension cord so you have the plug and a long piece...
I like Charles Link's ion theory. An interesting way to test this is to set up a controlled circuit that isn't going to blow circuit breakers. What I would do is create a circut like this: You will need a long piece of wire with a plug on one end (maybe cut off the receptical end of an...
Hi Dave.
That is my experience as well. Definately a higher frequance from the crack. I will have to see if I can set up an experiment. I think taking a single shot .22 pistol (single shot because the only place for the sound to escape is the mussel) and a .22 single shot rifel, and record...
Hi Andrew and Scottdave,
Andrew: I come from an electronic design background. z in the electronic field represents impedence e.g. an inductor or capacitor as opposed to a resistor which is strictly resistance.

Yeah I would think so. Somehow the difference in tone...
In spite of the prefex I'm not a student, just a very curious person with more than 9 lives to waste :)
I have a Golden Retriever but she's never been used as a gun dog. She is terified of loud noises like thunder and fireworks, even a distant firecracker will have her shaking for hours. We...
Yeah, Simon, think I can figure better ways to die. The only reason I tested to 1000 is to compare the numbers. I really only cared to go to low end of tornado
Hi, thanks for your quick response. The link is here http://faculty.uml.edu/slaycock/95.103/Documents/documents/GPHYS_Lecture_17_Fluids_in_Motion_2013F.pdf
I was surprised at the number of people thinking they should "ride out the storm" when Hurricane Mathew moved up the coast. They are assuming that because they've been in a cat 1 or 2 that a 3 or 4 is nothing to worry about. I was trying to explain to someone that force is not linier with...
