Make its od slightly larger than the id of the ring, press a

Easier said than done, I'm sure, and getting the od right

restriction of the ring into axial motion of the diaphragm
maximized at its center.

Bob Cain, the self-proclaimed scientist, who recently denied the existence
of Doppler distortion and who was incapable of solving a simple partial
differential equation for one-dimensional sound propagation in a tube, is
now giving advice on the design of resonant ultrasionic transducers. Now
that's what I call a real joke.

"Ultrasionic transducers"? The only references I found on Google for
"ultrasionic transducers" had to do with vaginas and wood. Now that's what I

Typo's are mechanical errors caused by the fingers, your consistant

As for the killfile, I just did a re-install of XP on my computer, and
when I re-subscribed to this group, the killfile was erased, so I'll have to
fix that.
BTW, I have to apologize for the "senile old fool" phrase, obviously I

Where did that filter idea come from? I was asking about a

Alternatively, let me recommend that you utilize a Bob Cain filter. It too
is of the notch type, and it will protect you against the detrimental and
disasterous consequences of taking seriously anything further that Bob Cain
has to say. In this regard, I can't imagine why would you even consider
taking seriously anything that Bob Cain has to say. He recently denied the
existence of Doppler distortion in loudspeakers which was analyzed and
established over thirty years ago. Furthermore, even though he proclaims
himself to be a scientist, he was unabale to solve a trivial partial
differential equation for one-dimensional wave propagation in a tube. Bob
Cain is a technically inpept ignoramus and a fraud and it is time for all
of his admirers to stop their denial and get a reality check.

The Ghost has yet to be shown to be wrong on any technical issue.
Unfortuantely the same can not be said for Bob Cain. Do a Google Search on
Bob Cain and Doppler distortion and, in particular, "Bob Cain goes down and
out in defeat."

Just be careful; there are two Ghosts about. :-) Hopefully
I'm the more intelligent one. (I'm also the Earthlink one,
as you can probably see in my Path: header.)
As for filters -- they come in various forms; the usual terms
I've heard are "killfile", "scorefile", or "krillfile".
The exact terminology probably depends on the newsreader.
As for magnetostrictive acoustical transducers -- an
interesting notion. One might be able to excite the water
(since water has an electrical dipole moment, it's about
the only candidate I can think of in the atmosphere that
might even respond to a magnetic field, though were one
talking about gaseous iron one might get into interesting
-- but extremely hot -- territory).
Oxygen also is paramagnetic in its liquid form, which
means it might respond to the hypothetical transducer.
I can't say I've heard of any research in that area --
but then, I'm not in that area; my field involves computer
software development. :-)
http://www.webelements.com/webelements/elements/text/O/key.html
Unfortunately, nitrogen does not have a similar comment, so
I don't know how it will respond to a magnetic field.
http://www.webelements.com/webelements/elements/text/N/key.html
(How does one sniff a liquid that will freeze one's nose off? :-) )
I'm somewhat curious as to the construction of the OP's
magnetorestrictive transducer coil. As one well knows,
transformers tend to hum (in older model TV sets, they
in fact scream, but that's because they operate at
15,750 Hz as opposed to power transformers' 60). It's
not clear to me whether this hum will interfere with
the OP's objective or not; if one is constructing a high-quality
loudspeaker it might, but if one is constructing a weapon,
it might not matter too much unless the enemy hears the
weapon prior to the firing thereof... :-)

with limited formal education,

I only had to wear coat-n-tie for 4 years in HS, if that qualifies as formal
then I'm limited too, but it isn;t really formal so I guess I haven't had
ANY. What school requiers this?

failed marriage,

I hadn't heard. Tell!

and no noteworthy accomplishments to date.

who's barely capable of writing in a 4th-grade style and level who manages

BTW, anyone else notice that Bozo here forced replies offlist to his

a line on our email...
Guy's cute, ain;t he!

Hey, ***** for brains, since you are so smart, try sending me email and see
what happens.

I only had to wear coat-n-tie for 4 years in HS, if that qualifies as
formal then I'm limited too, but it isn;t really formal so I guess I
haven't had ANY. What school requiers this?

Congratulations, you are the recipient of the Jim Carr memorial oxymoron
award.

failed marriage,

I hadn't heard. Tell!

Look into it yourself if you are that interested and want to waste your
time.

and no noteworthy accomplishments to date.


Now there's a real stumper... what's 'noteworthy' mean here, as
somebody who's barely capable of writing in a 4th-grade style and
level who manages to post this stuff in NG's where real HS and college
grads hang might consider themselves noteworthy, whereas if they were
actually all growed up then it wouldn't be noteworthy.

You and your so-called real HS and college grads need a reality check. I
have more education than all of you combined. I've forgotten more than all
of you will ever know, and I've written more than most of you will ever
even think. If you consider my writing to be at a 4th-grade level, perhaps
you should consider a few alternatives: 1) the intended audience and 2)
your stupidity in confusing capability and effort.

... writing in a 4th-grade style

.... at a 4th-grade level, perhaps....

That's "at a Grade 4 style" or "at a Grade 4 level," unless you are buried
so deeply in U.S. idiom you think the whole world uses the same phrasing as
you. And even were it so, your style, both of yours, is atrocious -- should
be "fourth grade," as a single-digit Arabic numeral should never be used in
text, unless that text is of a tabular nature.
Annoyingly pompous enough for you?
Shut up and play your instruments, if you can. What is it with people who
use these newsgroups to vent their spleens and build up their egos? It used
to be about sharing ideas on a topic of mutual interest. Between the spam
and this stuff, Usenet has become almost a total waste of time. It's not
appreciated.

Thus far, no one who has read any of the numerous reports, that I have
written over the years, has complained. Perhaps they simply a bunch of
illiterate scientists and engineers. However, since they pay the bills and
you don't, your opinion of my writing skills is irrelevant and isn't worth
squat.

This is not a moderated newsgroup, and I didn't start this stuff. So, if
you don't like the situation, then you shut up or leave.

Yeehaw... Perhaps they is! (Or should that be "Perhaps they be"?)
Why did you set the phrase "that I have written over the years" apart with
commas? It's not a subordinate clause. If you wanted it to be one, which is
really not necessary, you need to use "which" in place of "that." This
change, however, would alter your meaning slightly.
Plenty of scientists and engineers have poor literacy skills. They are like
the home handyman as opposed to the finish carpenter. They can use the tools
well enough to get the job done, but the finished product is often not a
pretty sight.

Please eliminate "alt.music.home-studio" from your address bar, this
thread ended here a while ago, and no one here is interested in it any
longer.
Thanks,

Perhaps you should give us an example of your finished product so that the
the scientific and engineering community appreciate the difference between
that which the handyman and that which the finish carpenter produces.

Done any math,physics,engineering,science?
