Using Induction for Wireless Apparatus'

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the feasibility of using induction to establish and maintain a reference ground between two wireless apparatuses (WA1 and WA2) that are separated by a distance of up to 14 meters. The context includes considerations of movement and the proximity of each apparatus to a ground reference.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions the possibility of having a "reference ground" between two floating, disconnected devices, suggesting that a wire might be necessary.
  • Another participant expresses uncertainty about the clarity of the initial question and the purpose of establishing such a reference ground.
  • Participants engage in light-hearted commentary regarding the clarity of visual aids provided to illustrate the situation.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on the feasibility of using induction for the proposed application, and participants express differing views on the clarity and purpose of the initial inquiry.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not fully explored the assumptions underlying the concept of a reference ground in the context of wireless devices, and the discussion includes unresolved questions about the practicality of the proposed method.

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to use induction to create and maintain a reference ground between two wireless apparatus'?

For example:

Code:
WA1                  WA2
--                    --
INDUCTION?!INDUCTION?!IN
GNDGNDGNDGNDGNDGNDGNDGND

Distance between WA1 and WA2 is at most 14 metres and distance between either WA and GND has a range of

~.01 to ~.5 metres.

WA1 and WA2 are moving rather constantly (not ALWAYS, however!) and fairly rapidly.

Not sure I'm understanding the question. How can you have a "reference ground" between two floating, disconnected devices? Seems like you'd need a wire... And why would you want such a "reference"?
 
Thanks to the wonders of MS Paint, I was able to make the situation a little more clear.

Behold! The great art skills of the Wetmelon!

Maybe it is the Christmas spirit or something.

That drawing doesn't look very skilful and it certainly doesn't explain what you are trying to do.
Maybe wait until after Christmas and try again.
