It's derision and name calling that I object to.

Hi John

Is this the kind of thing you object to?

Exactly - already got emailed from a couple trade magazine "detectives" and was ambushed by a couple of clueless, arrogant pseudo-scientists (Earl Geddes and Martin King)...guess DIY didn't like it when I lectured their main (practically only) advertiser on the distinction between static and dynamic driver impedance - what a putz!! One of the trade mag testers - from a European hifi rag warned me about Geddes and this other clown - PB2 - apparently a friend of Martin King. Man, what a bunch of ignorant, arrogant turkeys!!

Interesting to see what he says about us behind our backs.
There's plenty more where that came from too.

Cheers - Godfrey

Edit: No insult or bad feeling towards yourself intended, just pointing out where Villastrangiato's at.

Still waiting on a definitive, coherent answer - "just because" doesn't cut it. Anyone?
I get the distinct feeling I'm being ignored....

I am not sure what else I can add, it is more than "just because" since it is built into the assumptions used to formulate the equations used to model the problem. It is in the physics, the one dimensional wave equation and its solution. I have run out of slick explanations.

Sometimes it's easy to mistake what someone is saying: I was never defending him.

 

[tinitus]

That would be like saying a defence lawyer loves his client 😛

But I think its closed now

Please, forget about it, and we can move on

So it is possible that the way I describe it is the way it could be, correct?
Dismissing the idea that the wave reflects off the sidewall of the pipe is inconsistent with the examples that I have proposed.

No, I do not believe you are correct. I just cannot explain it in a way you can accept. Sorry.

So "just because" it is. Fair enough.

Your analogy is a better fit for the way I see it - the wave bouncing down and up the pipe.

Remember the scale of wavelength in relation to the transverse dimensions...

And spend a few minutes playing a trombone.

This thread is far better off with the exclusion of Villastrangiato's mind warping jargon, and comments about his inability to communicate effectly. I realize I carry no weight on this board, but I for one would appreciate it if we could continue the current line of debate. The last three pages have been more informative and thought provoking than the rest combined.

Hey, it's Sy with all the answers!
Maybe you could do a quick review of what I said and fill in the blanks?

 

[Pano]

Yes, the thread has taken a turn for the better. 😀

John, how's this: if a wavelength is long with respect to any dimension, the pressure will be about the same along that dimension, right?

I won't ignore you John, you're everything to me.

He didn't mention me...😀

Me either and that kind of ****** me off because as far as I know, I'm the only one with the pleasure of speaking with him on the telephone.

Dirty traitor.

 

[MJL21193]

John, how's this: if a wavelength is long with respect to any dimension, the pressure will be about the same along that dimension, right?

I can't apply that to my question of how the sound wave reverses direction in going around a bend in a pipe without reflecting.

 

[Cal Weldon]

if a wavelength is long with respect to any dimension, the pressure will be...

Blah, blah, blah. Are we still talking about this ****? Seems you guys scared him off. So since we all understand this stuff the old fashioned way, no need to discuss it right?

Oh wait, there's John and his bouncing tube waves. Never mind.

 

[MJL21193]

Oh Carl, you know you are the one for me...🙂

Ya, I have to say I'm a little confused as to how the sides of TL are transparent acoustically, and the "bends" aren't.

Oh wait, there's John and his bouncing tube waves. Never mind.

there's me too 😱

 

[Cal Weldon]

Oh John, you're making me feel all flirty on a Friday afternoon. How will I get any work done?
