Yeah, well, Edison is vastly overrated anyway. He had a good PR department. I'll give him that. Nikola Tesla. Now that's a guy that rocked. Our entire system of electricity is based on that guy's work.

I agree.
|
That's shocking. :speechls:
|
Tesla, or the agreement?

I can't seem to think of anything except for a visual of a monumental amount of spooge that is going to take quite some time to dry up before disposal.

I don't think this one is "ribbed for her pleasure".

Hello, Cellar!

the speed of sound does not depend on density or temperature, except as how these things affect the stiffness of the medium. So warm rubber( quite dense) transmits sound slower that glass (less dense). Stiffness determines the speed of sound in any medium. |
welcome to the Cellar, hideouse.
Nice piece of info there. |

Uh....thanks hideouse.....that calls for some experimenting. Oh, and I second the welcome. :) |

I was a sonar technician on the USS City of Corpus Cristi for two years, so my study of acoustics is a bit more thorough. If what you say is true, why is the speed of sound in water five times that of the speed of sound in air? Neither are very stiff. What you say is true on the surface, but when you dive a bit deeper it becomes more clear. Check out this page here for information. |

I thought the key word here was density. Surely water is more dense than air. But whadda I know. I'm just an old Marine.
