===============================

Roy, I'm thinking of occasionally changing 'old wives' to 'charlatans'. It may sometimes better fit the circumstances.

As it was quite true you just as well could have said it. So I didn't take the trouble to correct the minor error.

Sorry Roy. === Reg.

You seem to enjoy starting useless arguments. Are you a troll? Spacial or frequency diversity? Leave me out of it.

I am not aware of a damper ever being considered a storage device. Capacitance is equivalent to mass, Inductance is equivalent to a spring, and resistance equivalent to a damper. Am I missing something?

Anyway will read later posts and see what I can get out of it.

You're retarded to think that asking that question is an attempt to start an argument. It was an honest question.

This is even more retarded.

Spacial, dufus... it relates. If you are aware of the type, you should have already known the answer. Unless all you did was a simple google. That would make you simple.

Not a problem... You don't rate anyway after this baby bullshit post.

Is this what you are talking about?

"The same analogy applies to springs and to shock absorbers; the spring stores energy when stretched; the shock-absorber stores energy when compressed. Both the spring and shock absorber will return energy at some time and this exhibit reactance!"

I think we have been at cross purposes. The above is nonsense.

Well done! You've mastered the art of cut & paste. What's next, a black belt in Origami?

Shock absorbers store no energy. They are pure dampers which dampen more in one direction than the other.

Gas filled shocks, and spring-over-shocks are another story.

Oh, boy! Then maybe before long I'll be able to add "RC" to my impressive and growing list of titles!

Thanks for posting the entire article again. That shows the level of your intelligence.

How many bags do you get through in a month?

Nope. But the OP, now posting as 'Polymath', had said "The same analogy applies to springs and to shock absorbers; the spring stores energy when stretched; the shock-absorber stores energy when compressed. Both the spring and shock absorber will return energy at some time and this exhibit reactance!"

But the shock-absorber stores...nothing, and can return nothing. It therefore cannot have the mechanical equivalent of reactance, and cannot therefore be a part of a frequency-determining mechanism. He had failed to appreciate the property of mass - a rather fundamental point. That is why I said he was an idiot - a claim I see no reason to change.

Exactly! That was the point, repeatedly made by others, at the time of the original posting.

Which is exactly what you said in your original posting. The fact is I should have read it more carefully.

Beanie's Bum Chum How many bags do you get through in a month?

What's your problem? Frustrated now Beanie's got a job during the week? Never mind, I don't suppose it will last long.

What's your problem? Run out of bags?

No, I've got plenty. Do you want some?

And they say something like "not to be used for identification" right on the cards. The way things are going, we will probably all need to carry passports before long.

Yeah. They say all sorts of things over here too.

Internal passports... nice Tsarist idea, kept up by the KGB.

This must be boring people who haven't killfiled us all who are looking for a discussion on aerials or electrical engineering (don't worry about being off topic on uk.radio.amateur - *we* all are) so I'd best QRT on this here breaker channel.
