Now I have an interesting comparison - different values of 'k' (all other OS-SE parameters equal).
See particularly the polars for k=4. I think this almost deserves to be called a new waveguide type 🙂

Pure OS throat (k=1):

My brain is sliping from the mouth towards the apex and doesn't profite of the expanse ! Yes I should have said "digression" and "market"... that's a shame mostly because those words came from one of th language I know the most : french ! 😀


Let excuse TNT who likes to beat and be beaten at the same time 😉 (oh your ball mask boy I like it ! don't you feel the Lynnfield of the photograph despite being black should have leather despite oak !)



Oh sorry for the disgression, let us back to the funnel (not endless cause interesting) discussion 🙂

Thanks so much for that! I guess I'll have to put that down as another bad idea - like most of them!!

I always wanted to find some way to trip-up the axial hole with maybe some small perturbations of the rim. But your designs don't have that problem so I guess it's a moot point.
