so, i went looking for the math to make a slat absorber (a.k.a. a slot absorber – depending on whether you’re a glass-half-full or a glass-half-empty kind of person…) this week. turns out that, if you search for the equations to build one, you’ll probably get the wrong answer. this is most likely due to a typo in a book that got copied in the next edition of the same book, and then, through the power of the internet and a procedure used in elite circles called “copy-and-paste”, was widely distributed. my dad always said that practice doesn’t make perfect – it makes permanent. practice a mistake, and you’ll be stuck with it.<\/p>\n
anyways, the correct equation for a slat absorber and\u00a0the discussion regarding the identification of the discrepancy can be found here<\/a> and, in more depth, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" so, i went looking for the math to make a slat absorber (a.k.a. a slot absorber – depending on whether you’re a glass-half-full or a glass-half-empty kind of person…) this week. turns out that, if you search for the equations to build one, you’ll probably get the wrong answer. this is most likely due to […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fluff"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p48hIM-aY","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.tonmeister.ca\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.tonmeister.ca\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.tonmeister.ca\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.tonmeister.ca\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.tonmeister.ca\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=680"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.tonmeister.ca\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":681,"href":"http:\/\/www.tonmeister.ca\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680\/revisions\/681"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.tonmeister.ca\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.tonmeister.ca\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.tonmeister.ca\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
