Terry, Robert, I Googled "lissajous patterns" in my on-going efforts to educate myself. In the midst of learning about these interesting oscillating patterns I came across an obscure web site managed by an independent inventor named Jed Margolin. I stumbled across his web site because Mr. Margoliln had a link that explained lissajous patterns.
Here's his home page: http://www.jmargolin.com/ Mr. Margolin's web site is not impressive in the visual sense. Lots of plan HTML text - with a few graphs and pictures sprinkled in here and there to make his point. Being an independent inventor he has also included compiled a list of patents. Scroll down and you will find links to them. Mr. Margolin's investigations and research are documented in meticulous chronological order making it easy to see how his perceptions evolved over time. Of particular interest to me were his dealings with NASA who, in Mr. Margolin's opinion, does not treat independent inventors fairly. See http://www.jmargolin.com/nasa/nasa.htm I kind'a wish Mr. Krivit would check out Mr. Margolin. This is the kind of stuff that, IMO, Krivit is often very good at - digging up obfuscated stuff and telling the story of the underdog. Alas, I don't think Mr. Margolin is into the alternate energy scene in any big way, so I suspect Mr. Krivit will probably pass on this one. * * * * * * Other interesting Margolin links. Synthetic Vision: http://www.jmargolin.com/svr/auvsi_response_index.htm Here are views of Mr. Margolin's house. I think his estate resides out in the Nevada country side. Looks like he has been able to cash in on at least some of his "inventions." Looks beautiful. http://www.jmargolin.com/vch/mydriveway.htm Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
