Post 514 Quote : No, an ICE doesn't resonate in any way, shape or form whatsoever.

I will tell you why I said that.  The first of several statements said something like "An ICE is in resonance."

What do you think I am going to do - I am going to take that at FACE VALUE and assume that you are saying that a whole gasoline engine operates in resonance.

And for what you are saying now, it's like talking about a bicycle and saying it is a resonant system and when somebody challenges you, you then post a picture of a bell on the handlebars and say, "See, a bicycle operates in resonance - look at the bell!"  That's retarded.

Your lack of use of language or your abuse of language is ridiculous sometimes.  And the fact still remains that we are not talking about an ICE and none of what you are saying about an ICE meets the scientific definition of resonance.

How does a wine glass resonate?  How is the resonant frequency determined?  Explain that and show that you know what you are talking about.

Here's a great little video to explain it (resonance in a wine glass) to you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urYWaHfel6g

@MH Also you stated " And I will repeat again, why should a "resonant transformer" give you better results when by definition you have high currents and increased i-squared-R losses at resonance?  "

If that's series resonance, then yes, there will be higher current. Parallel resonance, then no, impedance will be at it's maximum and current at its minimum. A transformer/inductor cannot achieve resonance by induction alone, but in conjunction with both external and/or internal capacitance, the combined circuit conditions can.

With a preset spring load on a movable core, you can change ............... resonance where you want to have it, adjusting and time, like RV and C, or QEG!

Same with some water in a Hot Exhaust, to affect the bouncing speed, sound speed is master in engine's and so intake and exhausts resonance.

You clearly stated that there is no resonant activities in an ICE,and i proved you wrong.
Man up,and except the fact that you were wrong,as that is a fact.

It's completely retarded to go for specific definitions about "resonance" for an ICE after the fact when before that all you did was make a generic statement with no specifics.  You man up and start communicating effectively and with purpose - like a man.  The whole time I have been talking about true resonance and not "motor shop talk" "resonance."  We are talking about electrical circuits.  Man up to that.

Stop this ridiculous "stream of consciousness" nonsense.  LC resonator -> Joule Thief -> ICE -> ICE intake manifold -> Two-stroke engines -> Inertial supercharging  -> Rainbows -> Schumann resonance -> Ping-pong balls -> Beach balls -> Sandy beach -> Gong chanting on the beach, and on and on and on.   It's RIDICULOUS, stay on topic.

Quote
Some facts you need to learn before you go making a bigger fool of your self
1- MH dose NOT get to decide what a JT circuit is.
2- MH dose not determine how many different types of resonance there are.
These are facts MH--so suck em up princes.

It's universally understood what a Joule Thief is.  From the very beginning I have been talking about the scientific and engineering definition of resonance.  We are not taking any stream-of-consciousness walks with you, you suck up to that, biatch.

Be real.

In fact the video doesn't explain the mechanism for how a wine glass resonates.  Now does it explain how the resonant frequency is determined.  Now if Brad could show some smarts and explain the process by himself, he would have done that already.  It's probably not an easy Google search, so I think it's almost a foregone conclusion at this point.  He couldn't explain the resonance mechanism for a child on a swing so he is shooting blanks at this point.

Yes about the series vs. parallel resonance.  If it is indeed parallel resonance, then something is acting like an AC open circuit at resonance.  It's even harder to imagine how something acting like an open circuit can "improve efficiency."

I will tell you why I said that.  The first of several statements said something like "An ICE is in resonance."

My actual first mention of an ICE
Quote post 510 :I dont think you grasp the reasoning behind resonance. The reasoning being much the same to that of having the timing correct in an ICE engine-done for best performance.
No where did i mention resonant systems in ICEs at this time.

Your next post- quote post 512:

Quote
Adjusting the timing of an ICE has absolutely nothing to do with resonance and there is no connection at all.

Like i clearly said, having the timing correct is !!like!! achieving resonance--both systems must be timed correctly in order to gain the maximum amplitude of power. Take the simple LC tank circuit,where you apply small pulses at the right time in order to gain maximum current and voltage amplitude through that tank circuit. That pulse of energy must be injected into that tank at the correct time in order to gain the maximum amplitudes.The same applies to the ignition timing of an ICE. That energy must be released at the correct time in order to gain the maximum power from the ICE,and that is done by igniting the fuel/air mix at the correct time.

You then said in post 513-quote:

Quote
No, an ICE doesn't resonate in any way, shape or form whatsoever.

So here you converted my description of how the ignition timing being correct being much the same as having the correct timing of the input energy pulse into an inductor in order to give rise to a resonant state-->into an ICE dose not resonate in any way,shape or form.
I then went on to show you the various resonant systems that exist in an ICE engine,so as you could learn from your mistake.

Re Quote: The first of several statements said something like "An ICE is in resonance
So no-once again you have tried to misdirect in order to save your ass,as it was you that made the statement about ICE's and resonance first--not me. But because you insisted on there being no resonance what so ever in an ICE,i had to set you straight on that--and i did. ;)

Quote
What do you think I am going to do - I am going to take that at FACE VALUE and assume that you are saying that a whole gasoline engine operates in resonance.

Well you bought that ICE and resonance thing on your self,so i gave you several examples of resonant systems in an ICE that both increase the power output,and also the efficiency of the ICE.

Quote
And for what you are saying now, it's like talking about a bicycle and saying it is a resonant system and when somebody challenges you, you then post a picture of a bell on the handlebars and say, "See, a bicycle operates in resonance - look at the bell!"  That's retarded.

Whats retarded is the fact that you are now trying to justify your mistake,and incorrect statement.
It is very funny that you your self are the one that bought up the resonant thing with ICE's,and in the above quote,you are now trying to say that it was me,when we can clearly see in the thread history that it was you lol. There is also the fact that your above statement is stupid,as a bell has nothing to do with the performance of the bike,where as the resonant systems that exist in ICE's are there to increase the overall performance of the ICE.
By the way,the bell would add drag,and decrease the overall efficiency of the bike ;)

Quote
Your lack of use of language or your abuse of language is ridiculous sometimes.

It's funny you should say that MH,as if we go back and read what actually was said,it turns out that you have an uncanny knack for changing things around to suit your need's. And when that fails,you then try to say it was some one else that said such thing's--even though it's all written in this thread lol. I said that the ignition timing being correct on an ICE,is much the same as a system in resonance--where the energy pulse timing is critical in both to achieve the best result's. Then you decided to switch that to--there is no resonance in an ICE :o
So once again,by showing several resonant systems in an ICE that increases the engines performance,and proving you wrong,you then do the old switcharoony,and try and say it was all my fault you got it wrong--and it's all on this thread lol.

Quote
And the fact still remains that we are not talking about an ICE and none of what you are saying about an ICE meets the scientific definition of resonance.

Lol-here we go again.
MH,everything i showed in regards to resonant systems in an ICE meets every scientific definition of resonant systems described. But be my guest at showing everyone here that im wrong--along with everyone else that provided the science behind those resonant systems in the links i provided.

Quote
How does a wine glass resonate?

By receiving pulses of energy at the correct !time!<--time MH) at it's natural resonant frequency.
These pulses of energy can be either pressure waves,or physical contact taps on the glass it self.When enough energy is stored in the glass,and the molecules of the glass are agitated,the glass then go's into resonance.
Whats your point?.

 
Quote
How is the resonant frequency determined?  Explain that and show that you know what you are talking about.

Of what?
Mechanical,acoustic,or electrical resonance?.
And you say i am no good at explaining things.

How stupid are you going to get MH,, the pistons motions as well as the gas charges are what transfer the resonant forces,, that is a force interaction,, I guess you would say a pulse jet is not resonant because the metal body of the engine does not change,,

We are talking about electrical resonance in the scientific and engineering sense.  We are talking about the real definition of resonance, not "the transfer of resonant forces" as in your quote above which is possibly "shop talk" and does not apply.  If you disagree, explain exactly what you mean by the "transfer of resonant forces" and what is resonating and the particular resonance mechanism.  Put some substance behind your words.

There are also many true mechanical examples of resonance.  You know like what Napoleon said about soldiers breaking step when crossing a bridge?

Quote
So MH,, How does a wine glass resonate?  what you can not answer the question??

Let's see if Brad can answer the question and show some smarts, show that he actually understands what resonance is for real.  After all, he is the all-over-the-map resonance man.

Oh dear.

Wonder if MH will set you straight on this--Mmm
Probably not,as you are disagreeing with me,he would see you as an ally.
So right or wrong,he wont set you straight.
But your way out to lunch.

Brad:

Here is your first "ICE" reference:

Quote
I dont think you grasp the reasoning behind resonance. The reasoning being much the same to that of having the timing correct in an ICE engine-done for best performance.

The correct timing in an ICE engine is not "resonance" and it has absolutely zero to do with the resonance we are discussing.

My post #514 is still there asking you to explain some of your statements:

- explain your so-called "reasoning" behind resonance.
- define "resonance" in a Joule Thief

You finally explained how a wine glass resonates:

Quote
By receiving pulses of energy at the correct !time!<--time MH) at it's natural resonant frequency.
These pulses of energy can be either pressure waves,or physical contact taps on the glass it self.When enough energy is stored in the glass,and the molecules of the glass are agitated,the glass then go's into resonance.
Whats your point?.

There, finally.  You clearly can't explain how a wine glass resonates, and so that means ultimately you don't even know what resonance is.  You have been bluffing your way through this whole time.

Here is my question in full:

Quote
How does a wine glass resonate?  How is the resonant frequency determined?  Explain that and show that you know what you are talking about.

Here is your reply about how the resonant frequency is determined:

Quote
Of what?
Mechanical,acoustic,or electrical resonance?.
And you say i am no good at explaining things.

So you bluff and pretend that you don't know what I am referring to in a totally ridiculous vain attempt to say that I am not explaining myself properly.  We all can see the truth, you have no clue whatsoever and can't explain how the resonance frequency of a wine glass is determined.

So the whole discussion has been in vain because you don't even know what resonance is.

The whole time I have been talking about true resonance and not "motor shop talk" "resonance.

You asked for some examples of different types of resonance.
I provide them(as well as proving you wrong at the same time),and now you have a tanty.
No-you have been talking only of electrical/magnetic resonance. All the other examples(that you asked for)that i provided are true resonant example's.
Like i said MH--you dont get to determine what true resonance is--science has already done that,and you are only interested in one type.

Quote
It's completely retarded to go for specific definitions about "resonance" for an ICE after the fact when before that all you did was make a generic statement with no specifics.  You man up and start communicating effectively and with purpose - like a man.

All i did was to say how the ignition timing in an ICE was similar to that of the required timing of the energy pulse to create a resonant system,where as both need that timing to be correct in order to achieve the desired results.

Quote
We are talking about electrical circuits.  Man up to that.

Quote
No, an ICE doesn't resonate in any way, shape or form whatsoever.

Sorry MH,but i had to put an end to that bullshit.
After all,it was you that made that statement--not me.

Says the man that can't explain what resonance is in a wine glass.  The discussion is over because it has all been in vain.  Go get some books and read them and learn and understand what resonance actually is.  You need to get to the point where you understand how a wine glass resonates.  Also work on your personal integrity with that farce of a response from you about the resonant frequency of a wine glass.

As can be clearly seen by your own posting of my statement,i never said the timing in an ICE is resonance. But it is a accurate description of how resonance is achieved in the electrical sense. As i have said,the timing of the input pulse of energy is critical in both cases to achieve maximum gains. How you dont see that is beyond me MH.

Quote
explain your so-called "reasoning" behind resonance.

This i have answered many times now MH,so you can understand as to why i refuse to answer every time you cant be bothered to look-just like you did with me explaining how the JT was working at low voltages. When you finally decided to go find the answer,you come back and say-thats plausible. Now we are doing it all over again ::) The reasoning being to gain maximum efficiency from the system-the very same way we do with the ICEs--resonance MH,resonance.

Quote
- define "resonance" in a Joule Thief

And over,and over,and over ::)

You finally explained how a wine glass resonates:

Do i have to be on here 24 hours a day to answer your questions as soon as you ask the MH.

There, finally.  You clearly can't explain how a wine glass resonates, and so that means ultimately you don't even know what resonance is.  You have been bluffing your way through this whole time.

A great example of your inadequate supply of information.
You asked -what determines the resonant frequency--no mention of a wine glass in that question.
If you are referring to a wine glass,then there are a multitude of things that will determine the resonant frequency of that wine glass--there is no one simple MH equation that can be used to calculate that resonant frequency.

Can you list all those things that will determine the resonant frequency of a wine glass MH ?--no chance in hell. You are full of it. You ask questions you your self cannot even answer.
What grade of crystal is the wine glass made of MH ?.
What are the specifications on the physical size and parameters of the glass?.
How long is a piece of string?.

Quote
So the whole discussion has been in vain because you don't even know what resonance is.

And yet it has been me that has given you many proven examples of resonance !that you say dont even exist! lol You pick and choose what is correct on Wikipedia to suit your need's.

Face it MH,you have fallen of your perch in this thread--on multiple occasions.
We are all a wake up to your trick (unanswerable) questions--and they just done work any more MH.

Sorry for putting your fire out MH.
