| In the hypothetical "sparkspin
machine" the diamagnetic and (weakly) electro-conductive water strings
are compresssed with a series of pulses by the action of the rotor. These
constrictions will travel, like peristaltic waves away from the octave
node in both directions symmetrically.
If the rotor is spinning then the combination of the four ball-ended spokes
set against the stators' (7a) spacing will result,
if the two sets of stators are perfectly aligned, in 4X3 (12) compressions
per revolution. This number will rise steeply as the sets of stators are
rotated out of mutal alignment. Symmetry of compession waves about the
octave node will always be perfect. If one were seeking a set of conditions
wherein might be generated synchronous sonoluminescence, then it would
be hard to define a more likely scenario; the water strings are therein
subject to massive sonic
aggravation in a completely ordered way. |
