Re: Zappers: Greater than 50 percent duty cycle disrupts harmonics
So, Rife was wrong?
I must disagree in this case. Every organism has at least 1 resonant frequency and often several. This means that they will naturally vibrate or ring at those frequencies and when an impulse or shock wave is applied this can momentarily increase the amplitude of that vibration. If impulses are applied at an exact subharmonic of the frequency, the vibration can be kept up for long enough to cause structural damage, a la the Tacoma Narrows bridge or wine glasses.
However, the point of the illustration is that duty cycles other than 50 percent, while creating more frequencies, can disrupt the effect of pure frequencies and thereby reduce the overall effect of achieving a MOR.
The reason that I point these factors out is that if you try all different zappers in the jar of pond water test, you will find that:
#1 no single frequency kills all of the microbes present when applied at 9 volts or 12 volts. Supports the importance of frequency and resonance.
#2 Each frequency applied kills a different set of microbes. Supports the importance of frequency and resonance.
#3 Duty cycles other than a pure 50 percent are less effective even though they product more harmonics. Supports the importance of frequency and resonance.
#4 Multiple frequencies in sequence will generally produce better results than multiple frequencies applied at the same time ( e.g. Quad Harmonic ).
#5 Sine waves and triangle waves applied at the same frequencies have little effect in destroying microbes.
This is the data that I have collected and while I will currently use it to claim that our zappers are better, I challenge competitors to do 2 things.
1) Do a study to prove this wrong. I doubt it will happen.
2) build new zappers that match these ideas and move the state of the are forward.
I am absolutely open to any improvement that makes zappers better as this is what I am trying to accomplish.
