Yep, it was an interesting demonstration on Mythbusters. Too bad Jerry changed it. I'm guessing that it would not have vibrated with just carrier. Mike - AA8K Allen Boehm wrote: > It is not an urban legend. Every thing has a resonate frequency. If you dig > back into the history of Nikolai

It is not an urban legend. Every thing has a resonate frequency. If you dig back into the history of Nikolai Tesla and his earthquake machine. Here are two related patents registered by Tesla: Patent No. 511,916 (Jan. 2, 1894) titled "Electric Generator" and Patent No. 514,169 (Feb. 6, 1894) title

Thanks Mike: Grounding the end in the backyard did most of it. I'll get a proper ground rod installed. I only hammered a 3 foot pipe in and made sure the spot was well watered. The pipes still move a little but do not vibrate much. Jerry, kd6et Mike Naruta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Gerald

I would add an additional ground (in the ground) directly at the point where it drops under the house if you can manage to do that with a ground rod, however it may be just as well to use only the ground rod and remove the pipe from the equation altogether and see what happens. Someone else mentio

after you call the priest, add a length of copper wire at one point to see if shifting the resonant frequency o fthe pipe helps. - Original Message - From: "root [knesbitt]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Monday, September 11, 2006 2:39 PM Subject: [Flexradio] SDR1000

Jerry, I would suggest you call a priest immediately. This has nothing to do with the electrical length of your pipe.. See: http://www.stmichael.pair.com/ as a starting point Cheers, Kirb - VE6IV -- ___ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.bi

Zounds! Could it be audio resonance some where? It would take a lot of current to move a 1/2" pipe, then again if its hanging free for a long distance--. Let us know what happens to your sig after clamping the pipe. (my xyl once drew an arc of the bathroom light) W8XO _
