The puck only comes with 3 inches. You need to extend that wire to at least 6 up to 12 feet depending on if you are using it personally or as a practitioner. Measure the length of additional speaker wire you need and cut 2 strands to that length. Strip both the ends of the 2 strands of the additional speaker wire and end of the wires on the puck one inch from each end. Use a cigarette lighter to melt the plastic one inch from the end and pull while twisting plastic off. Photo #1 Important: Now join the ends of the striped wires by twisting them together. Twist the white wire (positive +) on the puck to the gold/copper colored wire (positive +) on the speaker wire you cut then twist the black wire (negative -) on the puck to the silver wire (negative -) on the speaker wire you cut.

  • The Real Science Behind Audio Speaker Wires
    The Real Science Behind Audio Speaker Wires Waldo Nell 7 September 2016 Abstract A lot of pseudoscience are being tossed around audiophile shops, manufacturers and the internet regarding speaker wiring and how it affects sound quality. Manufacturers and resellers want you to believe that spending thousands of dollars on speaker wires are justified as it can make a substantial difference in audio quality when compared to cheaper wires. In this article I will investigate some of these claims by applying scientific analysis to the electrical circuit formed by speaker wiring, and comparing the science with these claims. I will establish baseline criteria for when an effect is considered audible, in order to gauge the scientific results with human perception. The article will conclude by summarising that most of these claims are indeed false and with no scientific basis.

  • Wireless Power Transfer for Space Applications
    1 Wireless Power Transfer for Space Applications Gabriel Vazquez Ramosl and Jiann-Shiun Yuan2 lNational Aeronautics and Space Administration Launch Services Program (Mail Code: VA-H3) John F. Kennedy Space Center, FL 32899 2Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL 32816 Abstract: This paper introduces an implementation for magnetic resonance wireless power transfer for space applications. The analysis includes an equivalent impedance study, loop material characterization, source/load resonance coupling technique, and system response behavior due to loads variability. System characterization is accomplished by executing circuit design from analytical equations and simulations using Matlab and SPICE. The theory was validated by a combination of different experiments that includes loop material consideration, resonance coupling circuits considerations, electric loads considerations and a small scale proof­ of-concept prototype. Experiment results shows successful wireless power transfer for all the cases studied. The prototype provided about 4.5 W of power to the load at a separation of -5 cm from the source using a power amplifier rated for 7 W. Keywords: magnetic coupling, magnetic resonance, power transfer, space systems, wireless power 2 1. Introduction For space systems, power connectors constitute a vital and complicated component required for the success of every space mission. Some of these missions require crucial connector mate and de-mate operations in an environment full of contaminants and/or performed by an automatic (unmanned) systems. These operations can constitute a risk of lost of mission due to connector deterioration after been exposed to environmental contaminates (i.e., lunar regolith, also call moon dust) or by bended pins due to misaligning during a connector mate operation [1].

January 2012 2621 White Road Irvine CA 92614 USA Tel 949 585 0111 Fax 949 585 0333 www.audioquest.com AudioQuest History The Quest Group was born from one man’s passion for music and the arts. William E. Low (Bill), founder and chief designer of AudioQuest, became intensely interested in music and audio equipment during his teenage years. A burning curiosity, along with the economic realities of subsidizing higher education, soon found Bill selling music systems to fellow classmates on the campus of Reed College in Portland, Oregon in the early 1970’s. By 1976, with his college days in the rear-view mirror, Bill found the urge to move to California irresistible. After a two-year stint as a manufacturer’s representative in the Bay area, he continued south and established a small, high-end audio salon in Santa Monica. During this time, Bill recognized that deficiencies in the signal-carrying cables were a source of various kinds of distortion. He began to experiment with various cable construction techniques and quickly realized that seemingly small changes in construction could have substantial effects on the sound of an audio system. Subsequently, he came to the same realization with video cable. From this point on, an ever-evolving journey of improving the performance of audio & video cables became Bill’s passion. By 1980, cables were being provided by Bill to an emerging network of specialty audio dealers in Southern California. With business plan in hand and a few hundred dollars in the bank, he formally established AudioQuest and began to expand distribution throughout the United States and around the world.

Estimate field strength of magnet Sanjoy Mahajan Estimate the field strength of a permanent magnet Question 2. Estimate magnetization of iron Pollack and Stump, 9-3 pg. 350 Estimate the maximum magnetization (M) of iron. Assume the atomic dipole moment of an iron atom is due to two aligned (unpaired) electron spins. The mass density of iron is 7.87 x 103 kg/m3, and the atomic mass is 55.85 u. Question 3. Fields and strengths A) Find the density ρ of mobile charges in a piece of speaker wire made of gold, assuming each atom contributes one conduction electron. (Look up any necessary physical constants.) Think about the definition of current and then estimate the average electron speed in a gold speaker wire carrying an ordinary current. Your answer will come out quite slow. If you flip on the stereo, and the speakers are, say, 2 meters away, would there be a noticeable "time lag" before you hear the speaker come on? Why/why not? B) If you cut open this wire, you'll see that it is really two wires, each insulated, and wrapped close together in a single plastic cylinder (since you need a complete circuit, current has to flow TO and FROM the speaker, right?). Make reasonable guesses for the dimensions involved and estimate the size of the magnetic field in the space between the wires. How large a field to you expect at a distance of 1 meter from the pair of wires?
