"Jeff" napisal w wiadomosci ... On 12/04/2012 09:41, Szczepan Bialek wrote: So the earth is necessary in your radio for the static reasons. In my also: "In the lower half of the mast, there was a vertical steel tube, attached to the mast's outer structure with large insulators. This tube was grounded at the bottom, and connected electrically to the mast structure by an adjustable metal bar at 328 metres.[2] This technique allowed adjusting the impedance of the mast for the transmitter and worked by applying a DC ground at a point of low radiofrequency voltage, to conduct static charge to ground without diminishing the radio energy. Static electrical charge can build up to high values, even at times of no thunderstorm activity, when such tall structures are insulated from ground. Use of this technique provides better lightning protection than using just a spark gap at the mast feed, as is standard at most mast radiators insulated against ground." From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_radio_tower It seems to me that the same reasons were in Marconi times. So I repeat my question: ""The necessity or utility of the earth connection has been sometimes questioned, but in my opinion no practical system of wireless telegraphy exists where the instruments are not connected to earth."(Marconi in 1909). It is still true? S* How many times do you need to be told? NO IT IS NOT TRUE, Marconi may have been correct when he made the statement considering the equipment and practices at the time, BUT he was not correct as a statement concerning radio systems in general. Things move on. Your mobile phone has no earth connection, satellites have no earth connection. Accept this and move on. Radio on the Moon has the "earth connection". The Moon is smaller than the Earth. Do you think that "the earth" must be giant? Your mobile phone has earth connection, radio on satellites and planes have earth connection because they are on the chassis. Accept this and move on. Some antenna systems do have an earth connection, many don't. All must have. Some have them in order to work correctly, some have them for protection against a lightening strike or a build up of static, some for both. Many have no earth connection at all. All must have for protection against the build up of static. "Static electrical charge can build up to high values, even at times of no thunderstorm activity," S* |

Did we see the Apollo crew hammer a rod into the moon for the purpose of connecting their radio system to it? Your mobile phone has earth connection, radio on satellites and planes have earth connection because they are on the chassis. Accept this and move on. You think "a chassis" is "earth connection"? What is your definition of "earth connection"? Some antenna systems do have an earth connection, many don't. All must have. You are being told NO, by people that know what they are talking about, and you, the ultimate nitwit, are insisting that it is wrong? If so, why are you asking the question at all? Some have them in order to work correctly, some have them for protection against a lightening strike or a build up of static, some for both. Many have no earth connection at all. All must have for protection against the build up of static. "Static electrical charge can build up to high values, even at times of no thunderstorm activity," S* On a 628m tall mast, yes. But not on a cellphone. |

All must have for protection against the build up of static. No, that is not always true either. "Static electrical charge can build up to high values, even at times of no thunderstorm activity," S* Where is the ground on the Pioneer spacecraft at the edge of the solar system? |

Uzytkownik "Jeff" napisal w wiadomosci ... How many times do you need to be told?

The Moon is smaller than the Earth. Do you think that "the earth" must be giant? You are misinterpreting what is meant by an 'Earth Connection'. Marconi was referring to a direct connection to the soil, either by means of an earth stake or wires buried in the ground. Marconi explained what the 'Earth Connection' is: ""By "connected to earth" I do not necessarily mean an ordinary metallic connection as used for ordinary wire telegraphs. The earth wire may have a condenser in series with it, or it may be connected to what is really equivalent, a capacity area placed close to the surface of the ground (Fig. 4). It is now perfectly well known that a condenser, if large enough, does not prevent the passage of high frequency oscillations, and therefore in these cases the earth is for all practical purposes connected to the antennae." Your mobile phone has earth connection, radio on satellites and planes have earth connection because they are on the chassis. Accept this and move on. No they don't have an 'earth connection'. The chassis is not an 'Earth Connection'. Anyway it is perfectly possible the build a radio without any connection to a chassis whatso ever and use a balanced antenna that also requires no chassis or earth connection. Accept the fact that earth connections are NOT required. Are you better than Marconi? S* |

So, now we are better than Marconi be cause we all (except you) know that. But that is not surprising after a century of evolution, isn't it. |

Marconi did not have all the information we have today and therefor what he said is NOT generally true but limited to some very specific situations. Marconi was WRONG, you idiot. Marconi was WRONG, you idiot. Marconi was WRONG, you idiot. Marconi was WRONG, you idiot. |
