In my youth, I once caused objects to break and fly around the room, but I think that was more because we fell off the bed.....

Never could explain that to the landlord.

I heard about a woman whose orgasms would shatter glass objects and cause nearby items to fly off night tables, dressers, etc. It wasn't necessarily the sounds she made, but rather the invisible waves of psychic force she would hurl about at those moments.

It must have been quite something to witness firsthand...

I also feel that I should mention that acute and overly-frequent mastication can cause soreness.

Stilly River Sage you are one bright, brave lady with a very good sense of humor.

Since I am not as bright, and my humor is somewhat "spotty", I will let the rest of you ponder the real meaning of the Q spot, notwithstanding its potential electrical resonance being inductive or capacitive reactance or neither.

Darn Spot is out.

Spot Checking has picked up on the resonance of the thread, which is not remotely subtle, but has started waving flags. He needs to masticate this a while and come up with something good enough to blow his own horn about.

Q is all about transferrence of energy, at resonant frequencies Q is measured in Electrical terms as the ratio of "current in" (parallel ccts) to circulating current. There is preferrential gain in the frequency domain. Max gain and resonant frquency differ by a factor which also determines the value of Q - the losses in effect. In mechanical terms it is movement, move glass too far and it breaks.

in answer to your "likes" - is it because you can get a tune from G and only harmonies from Q's?

Barbershop anyone?

Richard - the glass wouldn't have shattered unless it wanted to, did it want to ? If so, you couldn't have done it - you were playing at the time and nowhere near it when it happened. Plead innocent ! As shaggy said - it wasn't me !

The frequency and delivery efficiency of sax to my resonant curve sure makes a difference to the G spot in this alto, so I assume it works for sopranos also!

Listen up, you people. I'm into goats for a living. But play a lot of music on the side. It means a lot to me, especially sax.

Before this happened, my wife enjoyed me taking out my gleaming 27 inch long soprano and performing lustily. Now she's scared stiff.

The replies above are great but a bit above goat-farming level.

The point is, my sax life has been shattered. And I need fellow-musicians to come to my rescue and state unequivocally (if that's the right word) that I could NOT have wrecked that glass.

I mean, I sometimes play in high-class hotels. Can you imagine what would happen if Tony Blair (who comes our way now and then) was having a drink and BOOM!!?

Diesel:

We did not mean to say that Q is the quality of the glass. It's the "quality factor" of the resonance curve of the item made out of the glass.

We also are more familiar with "Q" in electrical terms but it has an analogous meaning in mechanical terms. We have no idea why it's called "quality factor" but it is.

I had suspected that you(like many others of us)Bill, are a masticator
a fact which I will chew over in my mind before the regurgitation of any further vocabulary on the subject.
Mutual mastication is something I have been involved in over Christmas which was wonderful I have to say......with all the trimmings of course.

Bill, does your wife know about this?

Subject: RE: BS: Finding the Q spot

Hi

My tuppence worth is that the Q in frequency is not the quality of the glass (as in Bev's and Jerry's above) but is the efficiency of the delivery of the frequency.

We see it (Q) being used to develop Rf systems in plasma and communications generation and how it applies to transmission of a frequency into a load such as an aerial for broadcast or a chamber for plasma generation etc. In practical terms the higher the Q value (through some maths that I don't understand) the more efficient the delivery of the frequency.

If the frequency you were playing was poor or varied, the build up of harmonics in the glass would have been inhibited or at best - varied, but as the delivery was more efficient, the harmonics developed were sustained long enough to shatter the glass by basically vibrating it to bit's.
A note - if the glass was cracked it may have been more difficult to shatter due to the crack interferring with the resonations.

Dave, that's what I thought it was about. Now Bill's channeling Edgar Cayce (and probably Jeanne Dixon), the Beach Boys (and probably the Rolling Stones played backwards), and now the gates of Hell may open when he gets to Mother's Little Helper. He's speaking in tongues (because I don't think what he wrote above is English), and the whole known universe could be in real trouble here. I mean, the only thing worse is getting your electricity supplier mad at you when they make a mistake on your billing and tell you you owe $739,421.93 on your November bill and they don't want to hear that you didn't use that much electricity in your two-bedroom house with no cyclotron in the basement.

John had his John had revelation and now Bill's having one, too. It's time to get a little nervous here.

after viewing that website, I found my ethereal cosmic consciousness had been transduced into a state of boundless disrhambic chakras, vibrating in harmonious conjunction with acoustic fields derived from channeling Edgar Cayce while listening to the Beach Boys in a geodesic dome inside a pyramid which had been oriented toward the confluence of spiritual energies emanating from celestial manifestations of massed sensory nodes inherently located within my own attempts at focused spiritual enlightenement.

The fact is that everything solid has its own frequency and if that frequency is reached sonically something will happen to it..even shattering. When someone scratches their fingernails down a blackboard...what does it make us feel....they are reaching our frequency and our brains react by making us cover ears etc. This phenonenom was used to torture prisoners in the Second world war and subsequent wars by means of electronic equipment.....Nasty devices.
