Maximum transmission efficiency occurs when the load impedance matches the generator impedance. Engineers do this to eliminate standing waves, which can severely damage equipment. Transmission lines ...

When it comes to river surfing in Colorado, not all waves are created equal. A discussion about standing waves at the Vail Town Council’s August 20 meeting has had the unintended consequence of ...

The idea of a surf wave in Gore Creek has been found to be so crazy it just might work, but town staff says there are limitations and no guarantee it would be as successful as other regional parks. On ...

A 50-Ω transmission line is terminated in a load with ZL = (100+j50) Ω. Find the voltage reflection coefficient, Γ and the voltage standing-wave ratio (SWR), S.

According to Archimedes' law, the mass of liquid displaced by an object is equal to the mass of that object. Small hydrophilic particles violate this law because capillarity (surface tension) pulls ...

The Wai Kai, at Hoakalei Resort in Ewa Beach, will open Saturday. The waterfront development features a 100-foot-wide wave for standing- wave surfing, water activities on a 52-acre lagoon and more. At ...

Oahu’s west side offers the best of both worlds — Honolulu and its glorious restaurants and museums are a short half-hour drive away, while the stretch of island along the leeward side has mellow ...

This is a very popular video on the internet right now. It shows this awesome set up that uses sound to levitate very low density and small objects. I think this is a great opportunity to talk about ...
