AI Thread Summary
Recent research highlights the physics behind how raindrops can cause windshield cracking, which has implications for improving kidney stone treatments. The discussion draws parallels to Dr. Courtney's work on blast physics and ballistics, emphasizing the practical applications of such research. Participants express personal strategies for preventing kidney stones, such as increased water intake, while acknowledging that some cases may require invasive treatments. The conversation also humorously touches on the terminology used, comparing kidney stones to defective chips in circuits. This research could lead to significant advancements in medical treatments for kidney stones.

It's great that this research could improve the treatment for kidney stones. Good stuff.

This research reminds me of the work by @Dr. Courtney on blast physics and ballistics, which also has very practical applications. :smile:
 
Interesting article. Thanks for the tag. I don't have much to comment except that my plan is to avoid kidney stones by drinking lots of water.

Sometimes they are unavoidable and sometimes sonic treatments won't work and that means its roto-rooter time.

Stones? Dont you mean defective chips in your circuit?

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...
