I have read about resonance as relates to a glass, or the Tacoma narrows bridge, and I have also read that John Worrel Keely was able to shatter Quartz veins using resonance. I know you can buy artificial quartz resonators for electrical purposes, and that they have a specific resonance. What is the resonant frequency of granite and quartz, and how is it calculated? Also I believe the resonant frequency of water is somewhere around 2450 Megahertz, but how would you calculate the resonate frequency of particular compounds, such as salt, or the resonant frequencies of metal forms such as the drawbar on a semi-trailer? Your time is much appreciated, Mick.
