AI Thread Summary
Graphite sheets may serve as a substitute for carbon-loaded Teflon in millimeter wave dosimeters, as they are semi-conductive and can heat when exposed to electromagnetic radiation. The discussion highlights challenges in sourcing carbon-loaded Teflon, prompting the exploration of alternative materials. Teledeltos Paper, a type of resistive paper with a resistance of 800 Ohms per square, is suggested as a potential option, particularly when layered. The feasibility of using these materials hinges on their ability to replicate the desired heating effect. Overall, the conversation centers on finding effective alternatives for the original experimental setup.

Hi I'm trying to duplicate the experiment in the paper I've attached. I'm having some trouble sourcing the carbon loaded teflon described in the paper. Would something like graphite sheet work? I guess as long as you had something semi-conductive that heats so when EM radiation passes thru it, it should work?

WE have recently been discussing resistive paper on the Forum, maybe it will work, especially two layers of it? It is 800 Ohms per square. It is called Teledeltos Paper and is available from education suppliers.

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field'

Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...

Thread 'Highway: Deriving speed from Doppler shift'

I passed a motorcycle on the highway going the opposite direction. I know I was doing 125/km/h. I estimated that the frequency of his motor dropped by an entire octave, so that's a doubling of the wavelength. My intuition is telling me that's extremely unlikely. I can't actually calculate how fast he was going with just that information, can I? It seems to me, I have to know the absolute frequency of one of those tones, either shifted up or down or unshifted, yes? I tried to mimic the...
