directional cables?

I hate to say it but I'm beginning to believe you are an idiot, you are just so pig headed that you can't admit you are wrong, or you are having fun at my expense.

While the SPECIFIC direction may eventually change, you're still left with motion in ONE DIRECTION at any given time.

That is hilarious. Everything I just stated has to do with continuous motion in one direction with no reversal and no reference to a change at ANY point in time. ALL periodic motion has "motion in ONE DIRECTION at any given time." For that matter all motion fits that description since you can't be moving more than one direction at any given time. Using that notion to defend your position is ridiculous.

You have yet to come up with anything that links periodic motion and flow.

Every single example I gave including the definition that YOU used to try and prove YOUR point indicated a single direction that never, ever, reversed direction. Nothing ever alluded to the possibility that the stream reversed at any point in time. Nothing even hinted that the direction eventually changed.

You wanted to get back to basics yet you can't refute any of these points.

I challenge you to find one that doesn't describe it as making progress and moving in one direction and instead talks about moving back and forth.

Give me one example besides AC where flow is used to describe periodic motion.

Give me an example of a stream of anything that vibrates about a fixed point.

If it wasn't so much fun to point out the idiocy of your position I would have dropped this long ago. Yes, that makes me a petty person but if you can't make fun of internet idiots what else is there?

I'm sorry. That was cruel. Here is what you should do. Take a day or 2 to absorb what I just said. Realize that everything I said makes perfect sense and everything you've brought up is a silly convolution of the facts. Realize that I laid down some specific challenges that you can't possibly refute. Realize that I systematically destroyed your arguments about definite direction.

Until you can specifically address each of the points I brought up in this and my last post you should save yourself the embarrassment and just drop it.

I will now bow to my mentor Almarg.

I asked two simple questions which required no more than two simple answers. Instead of answers to those questions, I get personal attacks.

I'll try one more time.

I flip the switch one way for ten seconds.

First question: Is there any "current" "flowing" during that ten seconds?

I flip the switch the other way for ten second.

Second question: Is there any "current" "flowing" during that ten seconds?

Like I've been saying all along, give me one example besides AC where flow is used to describe periodic motion.

Just so you won't have any more excuses to avoid answering the two simple questions I put to you.

The liquid medium may be supplied continuously to the vessel by a pump (16), while a piston (18) subjects the liquid medium to an ALTERNATING FLOW which ensures that the contents of each chamber (24) are well mixed and that the residence time for cells in the vessel (12) is substantially uniform.

And here's a picture for you too.

Nice try but none of your examples as far as I can see is talking about periodic motion. For instance "Single needle ALTERNATING FLOW blood pump system" is talking about a dialysis system that draws blood through a tube for some period of time, treats it, and then puts the blood back into the body via the same tube. "The science of swara yoga deals directly with this ALTERNATING FLOW of forces" is talking about breathing through one nostril some of the time and the other nostril the rest of the time. Some others are systems where one chamber or tube has something flowing one way while another chamber or tube it flows the other way, or a system that injects two streams into a chamber to create swirls in opposing directions to mix something. None of that is periodic. Your examples are like saying that a divided highway has periodic motion because it has alternating flows of cars

Your switch example is describing periodic motion. If you want to describe what is happening it makes no sense to say that I kept flipping the switch and the electrons flowed. If you want to accurately describe what is happening you must say something like each time I flipped the switch the flow reversed. See the pattern? It is impossible to accurately describe something periodic using the word flow unless you qualify it with something like "back and forth" or "one way and then the other" or something similar. The tide doesn't flow, it ebbs and flows. Your yoga reference says "breath flowing in and out through our nose."

You still haven't given a single example besides AC where flow is used to describe periodic motion without using something like back and forth to indicate the flow changed direction.

I challenged you to give me an example of a stream of anything that vibrates about a fixed point. You can't do it.

You laid down the gauntlet with your definition which I systematically picked apart word by word and gave a slew of examples that show "definite motion" is one direction after you insisted it could be back and forth. I asked you to give a single example where it did not. You can't do it. Instead you come up with alternating flow used in a way that is completely unrelated to the periodic motion we're discussing.

Q, quit trying to change the English language. Flow denotes movement in a definite direction and no amount of word play on your part is going to change that. It's been fun but it looks like you have run out of ideas.

Sorry I got snippy.
