Celestion Hot 100 12 inch 16ohm Speaker wanted

[MeBHank]

You have too much time on your hands.

And we wouldn't have it any other way! I love you guys. ShadowMusic just wouldn't be the same without you.

"Dad"

"Yes, small boy", ( who really should be seen but not heard, especially at the dining table )

"Why are all the knives and forks stuck to the Celestion Hot 100 12 inch 16 ohm speaker"?

"That's to do with the magnet son"

"Magnet Dad"? "Why does a Celestion Hot 100 12 inch 16 ohm speaker need a magnet"?

"Well son, it's like this"

When the electrical current flowing through the voice coil changes direction, the coil's polar orientation reverses. This changes the magnetic forces between the voice coil and the permanent magnet, moving the coil and attached diaphragm back and forth.

So how does the fluctuation make the speaker coil move back and forth? The electromagnet is positioned in a constant magnetic field created by a permanent magnet. These two magnets -- the electromagnet and the permanent magnet -- interact with each other as any two magnets do. The positive end of the electromagnet is attracted to the negative pole of the permanent magnetic field, and the negative pole of the electromagnet is repelled by the permanent magnet's negative pole. When the electromagnet's polar orientation switches, so does the direction of repulsion and attraction. In this way, the alternating current constantly reverses the magnetic forces between the voice coil and the permanent magnet. This pushes the coil back and forth rapidly, like a piston.

When the coil moves, it pushes and pulls on the speaker cone. This vibrates the air in front of the speaker, creating sound waves. The electrical audio signal can also be interpreted as a wave. The frequency and amplitude of this wave, which represents the original sound wave, dictates the rate and distance that the voice coil moves. This, in turn, determines the frequency and amplitude of the sound waves produced by the diaphragm.

"Oh..............so where does the mustard come into it"?

thanks i understand now. it was there all along. peter

"Dad"......

"Yes, sweet Daughter, light of my life. apple of my eye, constant reminder of your Mother's droning voice."

"Dad, will you pass my spoon please? It's stuck to the Celestion Hot 100 12 inch 16 ohm speaker"

"There you are my sweetheart, hold it tight"

"Dad".

" Yes my little cherub, dear little child whose arrival signalled the end of any new guitar
purchases and the onset of poverty in perpetuity".

"Can we take the duct tape off my brother's mouth now so he can eat his breakfast"?

Al , This alien literary bug you have caught seems to have manifested itself just as you have returned to 'The Hankies', must be something in the COBS !!

"Dad?"
"Yes, sweet child of mine"
"Why cant we have stainless steel knives and forks like other people that don't stick to the magnet of that darned speaker thing in the middle of the table that Mum is using as a Fruit Bowl?"
"Any more of your lip and you're back on the plastic picnic ones from the caravan!!"

When Bakey rings you up from the depths of a layby on the A449 to discuss the merits of Dennis 1.3 Sharp plecks you KNOW he has too much hands on his time!
Are we seeing a resurrection of "Bakeys Pleck Hire Co Ltd", I wonder.
Ah, so much fun - much better than getting all wound up about poo e-mails from Ritchy Rich - lol!!
cheers

I did notice Ian,he seems to court controversy, perhaps a Hankie membership would do him good !!
