cross infection via budP:

When working with Mile' Nestorovic back in the late 80's he obtained some silver tubes filled with Mercury, to be used as speaker cables. All bends were made within the bending springs provided and we sat down to listen to a comparison with the then typical polypropylene coated copper wire. The results were thin and sharp to the point of pain. Meaning that the rise time and subsequent sampling of rise time over the period of change, done by the massively parallel processor we call brain, was not as our brains were expecting, from just previous experience with the copper conductor. We tried many gambits to slow the speaker response back to the point where it matched our expectations and failed miserably. Mile' did contemplate building one of his massive feedback amplifiers, meaning many many points of feed back injection through individually designed tank circuits, but sent the tubes back to France instead. This after we laboriously straightened them out again.

I don't draw any conclusions from this, other than thoughts about expense and the horrific possibility of cracking the wall of the silver tubes.

If you allow solids, or lattice structured solids near molecular fluids, you get recursive cross reflection, a lenz-like effect in the transient build and decay. As Heaviside said, more a resistor, not a conductor. The multi-axis constraint in the conductive pathway in orbital alignment and electron transfer, in a latticed solid element, creates this effect. The field is trying to express itself as an integrated system, the polarized field splitting of the lattice disallows for that. The subsequent integration of field and lattice creates a phase delay that folds back on itself... as the field or true molecular level conductive fluid in this case, is mechanically/quantum/polarization sensitive to the forced condition of the lattice, as reflection. The conductive molecular fluid does not have a single set conductive (electron transfer and molecular/atomic alignment) condition, it is partially imposed by the signal. The signal and fluid are working as one, similar to an arc and electrons being as one.

Congratulations, you definitively heard a shift in quantum function... directly, via ear.

Yes, I am. I'm a fairly creative dung-slinger, but this is like putting me in a one-on-one with Lebron James.

Actually, I am always impressed with how bad professional basketball players are at fouls shots. Back when we used to throw underhanded, missing a foul shot was rare at the championship high school level.

But if you ever want to feel small try sharing an elevator with a group of NBA players!

Speaking of Quantum whatever, how did they end the TV series?

Sure thing guys.

Acoustic Enhancement of Polymer/ZnO Nanorod Photovoltaic Device Performance

The study is published today by researchers at Imperial College London and Queen Mary University of London, in the journal Advanced Materials. They found that sound levels as low as 75 decibels (equivalent to a typical roadside noise or a printer in an office) could significantly improve the performance of the solar cells tested in the study.

Practical uses for this discovery could include solar powered air conditioning units, laptop computers or electronic components on buses, trains and other vehicles.

Scientists had previously shown that applying pressure or strain to some materials could create a voltage in the material, known as the piezoelectric effect. In the study, the scientists showed that manufacturing a piezoelectric material, zinc oxide nanorods, into the solar cells increased their efficiency when sound waves were played.

40% increase in efficiency.

The problem Ken is you don't follow up and "fill in the blanks" as they say. Improving 0.29% efficiency by 40% is pretty much a why bother. Standard PV's are at 15% or so, exotics more.

We evaluate an ordered organic-inorganic solar cell architecture based on ZnO-TiO2 core-shell nanorod
arrays encased in the hole-conducting polymer P3HT. Thin shells of TiO2 grown on the ZnO nanorods by
atomic layer deposition significantly increase the voltage and fill factor relative to devices without shells. We
find that the core-shell cells must be exposed to air to reproducibly attain efficiencies higher than 0.05%.
Cells stored in air for 1 month are 0.29% efficient.
