Analysing loop propagation

Re: Analysing loop propagation
So you are unable to see that a loop is a transverse wave with a loose end in the medium? Okay, I thought that was pretty clear.
Oh well. I guess we won't analyse loops again.

Graeme

Re: Analysing loop propagation
It’s complicated and I just think it takes us down a rabbit hole. I don’t see the propagation of the loop wave as being vertical but if it is then wavelength is the height of the loop and amplitude is the unrolled loop. How is this going to help me?! For me that is totally meaningless.
So as a process of elimination it’s not a wave. And since James says it’s not a wave then I feel that I’m in the clear it’s been useful!
I’m not being ironic. I’m actually serious. There is nothing to be gained. So to answer your question - I have absolutely no idea
Cheers, Paul

Re: Analysing loop propagation
Graeme,
From a spectator in the grandstands I have to admit your last photos make a pretty strong impression!
And, as a student of science, I know that reality as we perceive it is definitely not an either / or thing... as: is light a wavelength or a particle?
For the non scientific folks... that question has been going on forever... and it turns out it is probably both... or neither. We can use models and equations that work from both points of view. But there are discrepancies that neither can explain. So, it is likely it is us that are the problem.
Graeme's wave is not as far out as my idea that is based on flying Frisbees and gyroscopes!

Re: Analysing loop propagation
We spend too much energy on useless topics. The loop is not a wave then, so what? What would it change if it was? I can understand that the strict wave equations do not apply completely to a loop and what does it brings to knowledge?

Re: Analysing loop propagation
I'm not implying anyone here is a flat earther, but I'm going to paraphrase this to show how a deeper understanding of underlying concepts can help in ways we do not begin to appreciate until the basics are established:
There are questions asked here on SexyLoops to which some people answer "We are a LONG way from reaching an understanding of this topic". For those who dismiss the loop as a wave, that will always be the case in the same way that flat earthers will never be able to explain the Coriolis Effect or gravity - these things simply don't fit within their framework of understanding. I say "speak only for yourself" when you you make such statements.
I teach casting to students and I aim to take my own casting as far as I can. I've used my understanding of this to improve all sort of things I do and teach. For example, these things are easier to do or explain when the loop is treated as a wave:

300 years ago, flat earthers could go about their daily life with no consequences for their beliefs. It simply did not matter to them what shape the earth is because they did not need to consider the implications of a spherical earth. Air travel or weather predictions were not on their radars (and neither were radars ... ) If we never want to discuss loops and how they might be controlled, it makes no difference to us whether we have a wave or not.We spend too much energy on useless topics. The earth is not a sphere then, so what? What would it change if it was? I can understand that the seasons do not apply completely to a flat earth and what does it brings to knowledge?

Interesting list, I would love to hear how treating the loop as a wave makes it easier to explain those things, as opposed how they are explained now
Cheers

Re: Analysing loop propagation
If you explained the waves using the launch, I'm afraid it wouldn't work, so ....
Re: Analysing loop propagation
Perhaps at another time in another sub forum. This section is mainly about physics (but I always like to relate that back to practical applications, so I mentioned that list here because someone above asked "who cares and to what end?".)Lasse Karlsson wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 6:03 am Hi Graeme

Hi Gordygordonjudd wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 3:08 pmDirk,A jerk is readable in Gordy's pull-back cast rod leg velocity and at the same time an opposite direction jerk is readable in the fly leg velocity - centripetal force explains it for me.
Not only is it readable, the jerk derived from the measured velocity profiles in that pull back cast can be calculated as shown below.
Since the calculated correlation coefficient between those two jerk curves was only 12%, I don't think you can cherry pick a time range that fits with your centrifugal force theory while ignoring the 88% of the time when there is no correlation between the two jerk curves.
Invoking jerk as an explanation for the delay in the fly legs velocity increase relative to the start of the pull back is a derivative too far for me.

I have replied to this post at the original thread.
