In Reply to: RE: "What explanation can you offer for crystals in a jar placed away from cables and components?" posted by geoffkait on November 04, 2009 at 14:33:14
You said:
The crystals operate as energy absorbers, reduce the unwanted effects of standing waves, early reflections, and vibration. Especially, but not exclusively, in room corners.
You are speaking here of mechanical vibration in the air mass. Of course they are impacted by vibes in the room and piezoelectric materials characteristically generate an electrical field as a response to mechanical pressure. They convert one to the other in both directions. They have a big enough impact by converting from electrical field energy to mechanical energy on the sound when close to the source. But the impact in the way you describe is infinitesimal, to my way of thinking.
YOu also say:
The theory that crystals must be near an electrical source is incorrect. Even when the crystals are used on cables or in equipment the electricty/electromagnetism theory is incorrect.
Then you are operating from some theory that I've not run across, Geoff. The impact of the electrical field falls off proportionately to the distance from the source of those fields. To convert the electro=magnetic to the mechanical would require some proximity to the elecrto-magnetic source to be effective.
I'll admit that my physics is rather old (or I'm old and my knowledge is outdated), but I don't think the universe has changed that much!!! LOL
You studied physics of crystal structures in school? Interesting....my undergrad thesis involved bombarding magnetized metal crystals with high speed ions. What was yours?
