Exterminating A Wave Function

07/16/2015 8:34 AM

I'd like to cancel out any wave function. What shall I do? How to exterminate a wave?

Lower you hands and put them in your pockets?

What type of wave? Sound wave, RF wave, Microwave, light wave, radar wave?

You must first identify the type and frequency of the wave in order to determine which type of filter is required.

Then you must do the math to identify the value(s) needed by each filter component for the identified frequency.

Lastly; obtain the needed components to assemble/build or you can buy the filter and install it at the correct location in the system.

I have an idea, but i am not sure how to make one, probably its worth something more than a dime

Tesla, Fourier and others working on waves were geniuses, no doubt.

You have many "ideas".

I suggest instead of coming here with them, that you carefully write down the ideas as you get them in a notebook.

Label each page with the date and time.

When the notebook is filled, set it on fire.

Or, try a search for your "ideas" before coming here with then.

Try several searches.

Try many searches.

If you learn enough about your ideas to discuss them with some intelligence, instead of just asking the forum to answer your off the wall whins, maybe some good will come from your time here.

Sounds like a chasing after the wind. How can you say that to a smily person? Will that notebook suffice to aid the loneliness he is in to? Could the notebook talk and pissed an idea off to scratch? Nope? How would then racing good enough other than writing on a notebook and burn it? All i want is a spark. Even how little it is, it drives brilliant ones out of the box.

Yes, and Fourier developed an analysis method that I highly recommend reading, contemplation, and application of principles in a controlled, safe, methodical application laboratory environment whether in one's garage or in a dedicated facility.

The knowledge amassed can be beyond most people's highest expectation if diligence and dedication to perseverance outlast boredom and tedium.

Reading theory is often somewhat boring however, applying theory in/to real-time lab experiments is exciting and rewarding in my opinion.

Limits and boundaries can sometimes be extended if the experiments are conducted in a safe manner otherwise they come to a very abrupt halt with or without catastrophic results.

There is a great deal of discussion on waveforms not only within the dimension we live in but also the possibility of existence in domains and dimensions that we as humans cannot yet see or understand.

It is sound advice to keep a notebook on hand to write down your ideas in detail whenever the thought process kicks in because you/we will forget important, critical details as time passes which could be the difference in success or failure.

On can always add to an idea but recovering lost information and/or thoughts is too often impossible for most humans.

Einstein said: "I do not try to remember anything I can write down."

He was/is a genius way with capabilities way beyond mine so I adopted many of his teachings and ideology early on.

I have found his advice to be extremely useful and productive over the years with absolutely no disappointments to date.

  1. Stand in a crowded airport.
  2. Yell out a common name.
  3. When someone near turns to look, start waving at them.

They will start to wave back, hear you fart loudly, and cancel the wave.

Go buy yourself a noise cancelling headset.

They are quite effective at exterminating a wave form

Really, try Google first.

That did not work the way I wanted. It was supposed to be the cancel symbol on top of y=A*cos(ωt+Φ)

Another way to put it is y= A*cos(ωt+Φ)-A*cos(ωt+Φ)

Sample, invert, sum back into original.

It works the same way with cars (and diesel Army tanks) except the sensing mic and loudspeaker are at the end of the tailpipe.

The classical remedy is to pour oil on troubled waters. Cf. Simon and Garfunkel.

Take the wave you want to kill and send it as input through two circuits. One circuit to delay the output by a time t. The other circuit modifies' the input wave keeping the same frequency but changing the phase by 180 degrees. Add this changed wave to the delayed out put of the original input wave of circuit one to get a zero output. t should be set to the time that is needed for the input wave to get through circuit 2. It should work with any wave though a mechanical system might be needed for some types of waves such a sea waves. I leave it to you to design the device if indeed it is possible. For sound waves you can get noise cancelling headphones I believe. Some feed back might be interesting.

Send the wave to a committee, that usually gets rid of just about anything.

Rather than "extinguishing", the usual term is "collapsing the wave function"; so just drop a big rock on it.

Switch off whatever is producing the wave.

Simple and efficient. In fact 100% efficient.
