Energy Loss

[poobah]

Well the alternative implies infinite currents and zero time...

So the theoretical model, with no R (or L) is the setup for the whole scam.

Same for the springs and pressure bottles etc... You can't release the springs without them vibrating or doing some work against something to leave them at rest. The bottle thing get messy as hell if you use real gas though.

I did actually do the calculus... so that was good! And you couldn't L'Hopital the damn thing if you wanted to... R drops out for crying out loud...duh!

Follow that link I posted a page back, then click "listing". He has a bunch of sucker-punch-brain-teasers there.



You know who should be here to really muck things up is jneutron!

Temptation to look for the sucker-punch-brain-teasers is high!
But I still can stand it! And I have to stand it, otherwise my class D amp will not be ready before 2046.

This thread here has already costed a lot of time, but I like it!
Beside seeing Poobah ending up in the same surprise as myself.... there was the nice comparison with the springs... and the hint about Einstein...
...3 pole explanation to clarify the charge issue in the L-C-switch-circuit (thank's Pafi)... learning that Heineken is not only available in China, but also in the Netherlands..... Chris prefers to cook in the plane instead of headache....

I am sure we are ready for wharp.

Hi poobah,

That's what I'm saying! The circuit has to have some R or L.

The sucker part is assuming it doesn't.

I was mess'n whit cho bro!

I don't have the mental horsepower, nor the inclination to do the math. So I sit back and watch you "guys" mess with the problem.

... I know... don't you have a plane to catch????????????

Choco got me reading about Dirac pulses now... (dang him).

And then I saw that accelerating charge emits photons...

[anatech]

Hi poobah,
I caught the next flight back. Didn't you notice I wasn't around earlier?

So you are telling me that accelerating electrons get a glow on?

Reality bites when the little fellas are having more fun than you are!

[poobah]

I got some glow about 15 feet away... Canadian in fact.

Gotta put my breathalyzer interlock on the keyboard first... so I don't "go wookiee" on some cable thread!

Maybe SY knows about accelerating charge emitting photons... do they absorb photons when they decelerate?

[anatech]

Hi poobah,

do they absorb photons when they decelerate?

Yes! That's why one side of the Earth is dark, and the other side is light. Everything makes sense if you just sit and think about it.

-Chris

[poobah]

I think you meant: "just drink and sit aboot it".

[anatech]

Hi poobah,
That will do!

Cheers!

When charges slow down, that's just negative acceleration. Energy comes from somewhere- photons are a source. Virtual photons are literally spooky.

Have I told you about my darkon theory of light (i.e., light is a reduction in the flux of darkons)?
