Talk:Resonator

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The automotive section on resonators is very short, and even biased. More work needs to be done at making it a little more detailed.

Is there any non-biased way to point out that the resonators used to "enhance" a fourbanger ... don't actually give the percieved effect, and the noise they make are almost always associated with a fourbanger with a "riceburner" tailpipe? Ahanix1989 05:03, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge?

Seems that these 2 pages should be merged. Any opinion?134.193.168.253 15:16, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

I think better linking/labelling would do the trick. I'm happy that the CR article stand alone - perhaps re-labelled "Cavity resonator - Electromagnetic" or something similar, and move the flute references out.--Snori 01:01, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I also think that better linking/labeling would do the trick.

I think the articles can be merged- electromagnetic cavity resonators are a specific example of a resonant device, like guitars, auto exhaust pipes, quartz crystals, etc. The current article titled "Cavity resonators" is sort of broad and shallow and doesn't really need its own entry. If someone were to submit a detailed writeup on EM CR, with diagrams, equations, etc., then maybe it would warrant its own article. I would also like to see some discussion of general resonator theory in the resonator article, maybe a few approachable example equations for common cases (e.g. springs or crystal radios). I plan to submit some of this material this Fall (2006). Mhopeng 23:15, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I also think that the articles can be merged as the current (Cavity resonator) article is not specific enough. Ksbrown 16:49, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ==

The patents section probably should be clarified to indicate that it only pertains to electromagnetic resonators. This article currently refers to other types of resonators (acoustic resonators) that I'm guessing are classified differently by the USPTO, though I haven't done any research to find out what class/subclass is applicable.
