Oil film on water.  The colors are due to cancellation of some wavelengths.

Ductings easy, i can put it through a duct, if need be i make a duct out of ice 
to show the temp and humidity. 

I can show noise with a bright light close and dim light far

But how do i replicate cancellation. I assume water, but timing the ripples 
might be an issue. Anybody have a reflective ripple cancellation to still water 
video? That would be the bees knees.

  Almost everything in RF can be visualized with light. Some things are harder 
than others (ducting for example).

    Laymen, laymen, laymen. 

    How do i visualize the fact that the same thing at the same level, can 
cancel itself out? 
    Beyond that, how do i show the variance factors, temp, humidity, radio 
mites?

    Even better would be a live display of reasonable things they understand.

    My old man would be easy. Id smash his right index finger, then smash his 
left, hed understand because his right finger quit hurting so much.

    But i assume the soft people of today that wont work, theyll just talk 
about how bith fingers hurt

      Use an adjustable beam version...good way to visualize

        If you're lucky sometimes the light reflects off multiple leaves onto 
roughly the same spot. (Constructive reflection)

          I have a location thats solely down to multipath reflective fading. 
The best analogy i have is noise cancelling headphones, which makes total sense 
to me... but still the same dull look. Is there aome rf for dummies visuals?
