AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on creating a powerful antenna capable of emitting electromagnetic waves in the 1-50 MHz frequency range for a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiment. The original poster expresses doubts about the effectiveness of a standard solenoid for this purpose and seeks advice on alternative designs or methods. Participants question whether the goal is to build an MRI machine or something similar, confirming the intent is to observe NMR phenomena. The need for a more powerful antenna is emphasized, as the current approach may not suffice. Overall, the thread seeks technical guidance on antenna construction for specific scientific applications.

Hey,

So I want to make an antenna which emits powerful waves in the frequency range of 1-50 MHz.

Yet I don't know exactly how powerful those waves should be, but a normal solenoid is not enough... :P It should be really powerful... :D

Any help is welcome :)

What is the purpose of this and what does a solenoid have to do with it?
 
Well... I might be wrong but I thougt that it was actually possible to emit EM waves with a solenoid; isn't that the case?

oh and yeah... I need it actually to do an experiment about nuclear magnetic resonance

So you want to make an MRI machine then? Or something similar?
 
well if you put it like that, yes... but I mean everything I want to do is observing the NMR phenomenon and all I need for the moment is such an antenna... so could anyone help me?
 

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
