AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on creating a powerful antenna capable of emitting electromagnetic waves in the 1-50 MHz frequency range for a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiment. The original poster expresses doubts about the effectiveness of a standard solenoid for this purpose and seeks advice on alternative designs or methods. Participants question whether the goal is to build an MRI machine or something similar, confirming the intent is to observe NMR phenomena. The need for a more powerful antenna is emphasized, as the current approach may not suffice. Overall, the thread seeks technical guidance on antenna construction for specific scientific applications.

Hey,

So I want to make an antenna which emits powerful waves in the frequency range of 1-50 MHz.

Yet I don't know exactly how powerful those waves should be, but a normal solenoid is not enough... :P It should be really powerful... :D

Any help is welcome :)

Well... I might be wrong but I thougt that it was actually possible to emit EM waves with a solenoid; isn't that the case?

oh and yeah... I need it actually to do an experiment about nuclear magnetic resonance

So you want to make an MRI machine then? Or something similar?
 
well if you put it like that, yes... but I mean everything I want to do is observing the NMR phenomenon and all I need for the moment is such an antenna... so could anyone help me?
 

Thread 'Average velocity as a weighted mean'

Hello everyone, Consider the problem in which a car is told to travel at 30 km/h for L kilometers and then at 60 km/h for another L kilometers. Next, you are asked to determine the average speed. My question is: although we know that the average speed in this case is the harmonic mean of the two speeds, is it also possible to state that the average speed over this 2L-kilometer stretch can be obtained as a weighted average of the two speeds? Best regards, DaTario

Thread 'Effect of mass on the acceleration of an elastic pendulum?'

I know that mass does not affect the acceleration in a simple pendulum undergoing SHM, but how does the mass on the spring that makes up the elastic pendulum affect its acceleration? Certainly, there must be a change due to the displacement from equilibrium caused by each differing mass? I am talking about finding the acceleration at a specific time on each trial with different masses and comparing them. How would they compare and why?

Thread 'Inclined treadmills and Galilean Invariance'

This has been discussed many times on PF, and will likely come up again, so the video might come handy.
