AI Thread Summary
A user is developing a school project requiring a system where a pulled object moves twice as far as the pulling object. They recall a pulley system that could achieve this but need assistance in identifying it. Suggestions include searching for "block and tackle" systems. Ultimately, the user decides to utilize a scissor system for their project, believing it to be the most effective solution. The discussion highlights the importance of exploring different mechanical systems for achieving specific movement ratios.

I'm working on a project for school and I have to come up with a system where a pulled object moves twice as far as the object doing the pulling. I think I've seen a pulley system that can do this, but I can't remember where. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.

Have you searched on "block and tackle"?
 
Thanks for your replys, I think I'm going to go with a scissor system. I think that may work best in my project.
 

Thread 'Off resonance driving of a MW/RF cavity'

Hello! Let's say I have a cavity resonant at 10 GHz with a Q factor of 1000. Given the Lorentzian shape of the cavity, I can also drive the cavity at, say 100 MHz. Of course the response will be very very weak, but non-zero given that the Loretzian shape never really reaches zero. I am trying to understand how are the magnetic and electric field distributions of the field at 100 MHz relative to the ones at 10 GHz? In particular, if inside the cavity I have some structure, such as 2 plates...
