More Apparition

Hi Bill,

>snip<

To the Universal Studios theme parks, actually :).

Apparition is the only way to travel, much better than using a broom, Floo Powder or a Portkey. Pity it doesn't work for us Muggles though, not even with Quantum Mechanics :).

Kind regards,

David

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the link - very interesting. I guess the Harry Potter fans were lucky to be allowed into Disneyland at all, given that Warner Bros. made the movies :).

I must admit that I was quite surprised when I first learnt that TimeWarner had won the film rights. I had automatically assumed that it would be Disney - I am pretty sure it would have been, if Walt was still around.

Kind regards,

David

David,
Here is a far more interesting read:

As far as I understand, the universe is big.

Really big.

Then think bigger er.

Interesting article Bill.

Articles like these tend to make me wonder why so many ideas that are supposed to be decided scientifically analysed and weighed on their merits don't get the attention they deserve. What seems to be the case is that they the prevailing winds of thought are more ego driven than anything else.

One observation I had back in 1979.

The universe is 5 billion years old.

Now 36 years later it is 13 billion years old.

Talk about rapid aging!

It is at the dimensional extremes that everything behaves in a non-Newtonian manner; whether infinitely small or infinitely large. The universe may simply undergo transitions from one of these states to the other and we just get to measure the span of the current epoch only; so for us, it is just a "Big Bang" for now.

David I have been able to use some of the new features.

I like it!

I like it a lot!

Have a bit of a question in setting up a compound horn.

Bill Geiger has presented a interesting mass loaded tapped horn that I have been able to model correctly once.

Then my computer crashed and I have not been able to do it again.

Stupidity on my part.

The compound horn requires quite a large compression chamber to be modeled correctly.
 
Hi Mark,

I'll attach what I would consider a typical CH simulation. How did you get the tapped horn feature (front-to-back foldback) of whgeiger's design into a Hornresp compound horn?

Regards,

P.S.: I added whgeiger's design pdf.

Hi Mark,

Have a bit of a question in setting up a compound horn.

So, what is the question? :).

Bill Geiger has presented a interesting mass loaded tapped horn that I have been able to model correctly once.

Why do you call it a "mass loaded" tapped horn?

The simulation model developed by Oliver and linked in the post below is probably as close as you are going to get to Bill's design, using Hornresp.

Bill's suggested "reentrant" tapped horn design should not be modelled as a compound horn. A standard Bose Acoustic Wave Cannon type design on the other hand, should be.

Kind regards,

David
 
Bose vs. Reflex AWC's

did Bose change the design of the wave cannon? I recall it used to be a tube with two open ends and a driver.

The Bose AWC design still remains as you describe. My implementation (RAWC) is closer to a tapped horn to get to a shorter physical length for the same acoustical length and to get the combined output coming out a single end. WHG
