    I Does quantum tunnelling affect the magnitude of the Casimir Effect?

    Because I didn't think of it when I was titrating alkalinity values at work, and I certainly didn't see the phrase "Casimir Effect" on one of our work orders. I was reading something. It's purely used as a reference to my actions prior to the thought, not something that I was trying to...

    I Does quantum tunnelling affect the magnitude of the Casimir Effect?

    Vanadium 50 apparently didn't understand the effect I was describing in the OP, so I was explaining it to him. Obviously tunneling is going to occur to some extent at all angles, until the barrier created by the angle of incidence becomes too great for tunneling to occur, based on the distance...

    I Does quantum tunnelling affect the magnitude of the Casimir Effect?

    OK, I think we're having a communication problem here. The Casimir Force is not related directly to the transmission and reflection of light. I was combining two different effects in my question, and wondering if they could affect each other.

    I Does quantum tunnelling affect the magnitude of the Casimir Effect?

    Well, I don't know what to tell you. You're obviously not the type of person who can see a single word and be sent off into a completely different train of thought, unrelated to the previous thinking save for the existence of that single word, which is what happened to me. Since my thinking was...

    I Does quantum tunnelling affect the magnitude of the Casimir Effect?

    While I don't know how, I do know you can calculate it, and that it's actually something that is only known for conductors and dielectrics currently, not mirrors, but I was thinking of how the nearness of the second plate would allow the wavefunction of the light that SHOULD be completely...

    I Does quantum tunnelling affect the magnitude of the Casimir Effect?

    Some conductors have low enough opacity that in thin films, they can be transparent. You can see this in some cars, where the heating element for the windshield or rear window is a solid sheet, rather than the wire grid that most vehicles have on their rear windows. I'm not particularly...

    I Does quantum tunnelling affect the magnitude of the Casimir Effect?

    The light striking the surface undergoes reflection at the interface between two materials of different refractive index. At high angles, that reflection is only partial - some reflects and some passes through, but at some critically shallow angle, determined by the difference in the refractive...

    I Does quantum tunnelling affect the magnitude of the Casimir Effect?

    I don't see why I would need a specific reference, since it was merely the fact that the text mentioned the Casimir Effect, not anything in particular in the article itself. I just happened to be in a frame of mind where that mention got me thinking about it, and how the plates would be close...

    I Does quantum tunnelling affect the magnitude of the Casimir Effect?

    While reading something recently that mentioned the Casimir Effect, it occurred to me that the plates used in an experiment to measure the force between them would be close enough to allow quantum tunnelling if the plates were transparent, which led me to wonder whether (and how much) the force...

    Using Destructive Interference to Treat Tinnitus

    Two reasons that they do not do lots of tests: 1) MOST people presenting a particular set of symptoms have one of a small group of problems and can be resolved with a small bit of trial and error of known treatments. But the far greater reason is that many possible medical tests cost tons of...

    Combine Equations to Find Relationship Between D, F, and L

    If all you want is a relationship between the three variables, you can add the two equations together and get 2D = AF + BL^3 D = (AF + BL^3)/2 You could probably graph this three-dimensionally, but you'll need a third equation to solve it definitively.

    Usefulness of lower-impedance, faster-response electromagnet

    I plead primitive testing conditions. No other resistance yet, so I will be adding that for next round.

    Usefulness of lower-impedance, faster-response electromagnet

    Got a link, or anything? I've BEEN looking.

    Usefulness of lower-impedance, faster-response electromagnet

    Hmm... 1. Yes, each coil was wired to the one adjacent to it, output of one to input of the next. 2. I'll have to go back and check that. I was testing voltage drop across the input and output with a cheap oscilloscope set to capture single events. I'm assuming that you are asking if the...

    Usefulness of lower-impedance, faster-response electromagnet

    You're right, and I've been thinking about that. It's a ridiculously simple thing, but I've never seen or heard of this being done, but maybe someone here has, and can point it out, because I also cannot find a reference to it anywhere, despite some fairly comprehensive searching. Basically...
