When it comes to river surfing in Colorado, not all waves are created equal. A discussion about standing waves at the Vail Town Council’s August 20 meeting has had the unintended consequence of ...

Maximum transmission efficiency occurs when the load impedance matches the generator impedance. Engineers do this to eliminate standing waves, which can severely damage equipment. Transmission lines ...

Surfers and skimboarders are embroiled in a battle with the city of Laguna Beach. The issue in question? Aliso Beach, a popular skimboarding wave and occasional heavy shorebreak spot for surfers, and ...

The idea of a surf wave in Gore Creek has been found to be so crazy it just might work, but town staff says there are limitations and no guarantee it would be as successful as other regional parks. On ...

Impedance mismatches in a radio-frequency (RF) electrical transmission line cause power loss and reflected energy. Voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is a way to measure transmission line ...

Physicists at the University of Southampton have tested and proven a 50 year old theory for the first time using electro-magnetic waves. They have shown that the energy of waves can be increased by ...

A standing wave in a Munich stream that has been a surfing magnet for more than four decades has vanished, leaving urban surfers high and dry. Water levels in the Eisbach ("ice brook") dropped last ...
