Outstanding video! Thank you Colin. -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of colin_warwick@xxxxxxxxxxx Sent: 9-Apr-12 9:25 AM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Shive wave machine video Hi si-listers, My friend Dick Benson shared this gem with me so I'd thought I'd pay it forward. In this 1959 educational film, Dr. John N. Shive of Bell Labs uses the Shive wave machine (a mechanical analog of wave propagation e.g. electrical waves on a transmission line) to visualize: * Positive and negative reflection of waves from free and clamped ends * Superposition * Standing waves, standing wave ratio, and resonance * Energy loss by impedance mismatching * Reduction of energy loss by quarter-wave and tapered-section transformers It's a little longer (26 minutes) than most video clips but it's worth watching the whole thing because he packs so much in it.
