The dipole and the violin
Yeah the folded dipole that is. We see there 4 x ¼ = 2 lambda.
Following the antennabook one can earth the middle of that folded dipole.
And feed it with a coax.
So from there we can bridge the mantle from the coax to the middle of the straight
dipole piece. See it ? Now my problem in visualising that; the current from hot goes
to the ½ wave dipole....hits ground there.....appears out of the ground(!).... hits the
second ½ wave....and dives back in the coax mantle. If this is true i can't imagine it !
Now the violin string. Take one string attached between two walls or whatever.
Exite it. Now ground the string in the middle.....exite the first half......and the second
halve will vibrate also ?? Thru ground ??
Are the two statements right? The mind boggles.
