Water Hammer

[Vickers]

Hey Harvey, I think we on the same page here man. U seen it...I seen it. Its magic. I heard what u say and it makes sense. Until u actually attempt to initiate it on purpose. LOL. I have built pressure tanks, long pipes, high speed valves, back stroke turbines, no success. Yet I go to visit a friend and his plumbing is going nuts every time he turns on a tap. I disagree that it reverberates from the main water tank. Generally there thousands of houses all connected to the same pipe. I'm thinking compression and bounce if u will of dissolved air components in the water. Excuse my scientific lingo, but compressed air bounces. Like those Mexican low rider cars that bounce up and down because of the air suspension. Anyway man..glad u interested in this subject. Any advice would be appreciated.

Harvey!

Don't forget I see it too buddy!
Keep up the good work!

If pressure/force/energy is applied to a vibrating/resonating/reverberating ummmmm... thing... LOL something will happen. An equilibrium/balance/frequency will invariably be attained. In this case forget the equilibrium/balance bit.

make a dimpled resonant cavity like an inverted golf ball

or maybe a golf ball inside a spherical cavity as a check valve!

Yes. This is about John Worrell Keely and his hydro vacuo engine.
Also, the reason why a relatively small bomb (the bouncing bomb)
split the Mohne Dam in 1942. See "The Dam Busters" film.

Keely's biographer, Dale Pond, is said to have written a book on how
to replicate the hydro vacuo engine. I shall have a look for it.

I know what u mean bro. I tried similar things but no luck. Its not the valve system. I think its the air/water pressure ratio that initiates the effect. Its hard man. I think it will be a total fluke if I get it right.

ok, 2 hemispherical pieces put togehter with the ball in the middle. The ratio between the 2 hemispheres is the golden ratio

Yeah man. Good call. I remember the Keely engine and I seen that movie as well years ago.Was it Burt Lancaster? or maybe Kirk Douglas? I forget.
Hell yes I would be keen on reading that book. Cheers brother.

I dunno if that will work man. If u mean water/air mix? Maybe under high pressure. I dunno.
Problem is the water. Water has unusual properties. Especially when u under it. LOL. Like things weigh less....crazy stuff that. Sound/frequencies etc.. are more defined. Compared to general atmosphere that we used too.

I just put 2 aluminum bowls together with a 3rd in the middle. The two outer ones musically resonate at the same ratio of the 2 notes in a traditional door bell. The 3rd bowl is smaller than the two, and has dimples all around it. The 3rd bowl acts just like a Tibetan singing bowl. If you swirl water around in it, it tries to go both inward AND outward.
When they are nested, the middle one provides feedback to both...and heterodying
