If you have any questions, complaints or ideas, please do not hesitate to contanct any of the E-Mail sites listed below. We welcome any form of response, as it aids us in the further research of the Parabolic Sound Reflector Dish.
Also the amount of knowledge out there on this topic is very limited and confined, so we welcome any such advice that may be offered.
If any one can offer an explanation for the following it would be greatly appreaciated!
Question: The Aluminium dish - Beta - does not amplify sound as much as Delta, and yet both are identical. Could the solution to this might be -
A: Aluminium is made of a sea of electrons, and these free electrons distort the sound?
B: The solar radiation heats the dish and causes the microphone to act with less then optimal efficiency?
C: The dish Beta is hand hammered to a relativly smooth finish, whilst the Fibre glass dish is machine finished, and has a perfectly smooth finish, so the minor imperfections in the dish Beta account for the loss of sound?
D: All of the above
E: None of the above
This is the only question for which we could not answer with any real certainty.
