0.6my aluminium ribbon

[ABJensen]

This ribbon is made of 0.6my aluminium and 12my paper back.
The ribbon is 27 mm wide and 1050 mm long. This gives 2,2 0hm,
so no need for transformer or resistor.

AB,

Are you saying you have 2.2 ohms with a straight single traced ribbon ...?

Yes

nice
more info, please

 

[a.wayne]

Not only nice , it sounds improbable... but I'm all ears ......

This is a planar version playing. 150cm long 1,7 cm wide and with nano iron in the clue. So the ribbon is magnetic.This is 4 ohm

ABJ, i would need more info, hard to understand how a straight piece of foil has an imp of 2 ohm ?

 

[ABJensen]

The aluminium just have to be thin. I am using imitated leaf silver on a roll (aluminiun).
Allways nice too make the improbable possibel.The sound this ribbon makes is very ear pleasing.
I have not heard every thing one the planet,but this is the bedst ribbon I have heard.

Very nice,Do you have a source for the material?
As you said that you have a roll of it ,I have been trying to find some thin aluminium for years that is long enough and wide enough to Do a large ribbon!

All I have been able to find are 6" X 6" sheets at a craft store.

aha
you mean like leaf gold to put on wood
and you can actually get leaf silver, on paper rolls
that is indeed interesting

HUH.... Leaf gold , Silver ......

 

[tinitus]

.....and with nano iron in the clue. So the ribbon is magnetic.This is 4 ohm

ah, I suppose you mean glue with iron powder

 

[tinitus]

HUH.... Leaf gold , Silver ......

that is how they make the finest and expencive frames for paintings
very very thin and fragile
blow on it, and its gone
but put on properly, and its strong an durable
a fine brush is used for laying it onto the object
expert work

some buddas in the far east have been prepared that way for hundreds of years

Are you talking rolls like this ....

Would you share where you got this material? I've been looking for this stuff.

Thanks,

Yes sorry. I only use it in the planar ribbon.

Hi ABJensen,

Did you use Washi paper? I think it goes down to 2.5 microns, but the sheets are small. Also how did you managed to corrugate it? All my attempts ended in
crumpled pile followed by swearing.

Peter.

 

[ABJensen]

I use capacitor paper from a now closed capacitor factory.
No problem too corrugate when sandwiched with paper.
It is very strong ribbon. the planar ribbon in the youtube clip
is crossovered at 200hz. Ok very step digital filter.The 1meter
true ribbon is crossed at 1000hz 12db
