I am sending this to you folks for three reasons. 1) To demonstrate some fun "engineering" kind of things that I have been experimenting with involving cylindrical "waves." The attached gif is a crude model of the broadside pattern of an array of 11 omni(well actually only half omni but I could of used 360 instead of 180 if I wanted to)sources. Kinda-like 11 rocks dropped in the water or the top view of monopole antennas or whatever. Hey with Logo we can construct our own worlds right? 2) To send out into cyberspace, to many people for the first time, a gif file. 3) To ask you why another fellow(my Mom's husband) that I already sent this to can not see it. He is using a Mackintosh and AOL if that makes any difference. So will someone at least say that they received my pattern2.gif file and it looks OK? Looks great when I send it to myself. But I am kinda biased. I know it is not such great stuff but I did just take some photographs of water dropping in my birdbath and the resulting interference(standing waves) between the waves reflecting off the cylindrical rim and the waves from the source are kind interesting and if I can figure out how to...
