I'm not exaggerating, it's never been a warmer summer in Sweden since we started recording and archive the temperature readings :P and all our buildings, since we're in the north, are build to keep as much heat inside as possible. You got it warmer but I'd like to think i'm suffering more just because Sweden's not built for it xD

      It surely made sense, even though it was the most dreadful of the sublime.
      For the Fire King took his approach.
      Upon his neck sat a broach.
      The king pointed at you with a crooked smile, and a bruised up hand.
      “It’s your turn to face this land.”
      The bell tolled three more chimes, and the flames in your vision turned to sand...
      As before you, three strong Litches, were ready to stand.
      Friend or Foe, your fate was unknown, for all you could hear was the Bell, in the distance. You knew this was no ordinary spell.
      You reached for your wand, it did not exist. Not in this place, known as Exramatrist.”

    The original Yi bells didn't actually need to be heated and many did have dual intonation that was calibrated very precisely by filing away at a notch.
    This type of novelty Yi bell is made from a much more recent alloy of copper and magnesium which is responsible for the effect observed, and these novelty Yi bells are produced specifically to illustrate the role temperature can play in oscillation dampening. Copper-magnesium alloy was certainly not available during the bronze age when genuine Yi bells would've been used ceremonially.
    A very interesting novelty!

I used to play football, go bush walking, camping, have a social life, hangout with friends, go to the cinema, ride my bike around town, paint, draw, play in bands, have a girlfriend, teach guitar,....now I spend my life watching videos of a posh old English chap playing with a bell. I think I've hit rock bottom and need to go into rehab, again.

    3:26 onwards, Tim discovers that striking the bell in different places makes a different note. That's partly due to the shape, and partly due to the fact that the bottom of the bell is a lot hotter than the top. 3:39 - 3:40 "Still nothing at the top" YES! Also the top of the bell is not so hot, but he never measured it there.

      Don't think the expansion will be significant enough to change it's natural frequency appreciably. I would guess the elastic modulus would be making more of a contribution, as well as an a decrease of it's natural damping characteristics with temperature. I would really like to know the answer though

    • @suzesiviter6083
      @suzesiviter6083 6 лет назад +8

      My first thought was the bell alloy must become more homoginous or crystalline in structure as the temperature increases. I cannot see how a slight difference in alloy expension could change the damping characteristics so significantly; I would expect the resonant frequency to change the most.
