Newbee: What does your friend know? Who does he think he is? Some kind of rocket scientist??? : )
Mejames: While it is true that i could conduct rudimentary tests here using the equipment that i own and draw some form of a conclusion, someone would find some way to say that my tests were not valid, i was biased in how i conducted the tests, etc... As such, i'll save any parties willing to lend their gear and myself a lot of hassle and say "NO". I have neither the time or dedication to perform this type of task. This is not something that you set up, take some measurements and pack it all away. You are talking about something that could take quite an extended period of time to do correctly i.e. multitudes of days and i'm not just talking about doing this in your spare time on those days. You would have to vary frequency, intensity, mass, support structure ( flooring ), etc... This type of R&D is FAR more involved that most think, hence the lack of actual "white papers" on the subject with anything meaningful to say. Sean
