ACCIDENTAL RESONANCE
OPENING SCENE
INT: DOCTOR BROACHES RESIDENCE AND LAB-CULVER CITY, CA.-A.M.
DOCTOR BEN BROACH AND HIS WIFE CLARE, BEN BEING A DOCTORATE IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING, AND CLAIRE BEING A BACHELOR OF THEORETICAL SCIENCE ARE WORKING ON A RESEARCH STUDY TO FIND ECONOMICAL WAYS OF ACHIEVING HIGH DENSITY MICROWAVE FREQUENCIES BY USING LESS EXPENSIVE LOWER FREQUENCY OSCILLATORS AND MIXING THEIR ASSOCIATED OUTPUTS INTO A MIXING CAVITY TO ACHIEVE FREQUENCY MULTIPLICATION THAT CAN BE MANIPULATED BY INSERTING A VARIABLE THIRD HARMONIC OSCILLATOR
THESE STUDIES ARE BEING PARTIALLY FUNDED BY SIEMENS, LASER TECHNOLOGIES, AND THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
THEY HAVE MANY PATENTS UNDER THEIR NAME FOR OTHER COMMUNICATIONS INVENTIONS, DESIGNS, AND CONCEPTS
THEY LIVE IN WORK IN A SMALL LABORATORY WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THEIR APARTMENT. ANOTHER DAY ON THE TEST BENCH FOR BEN, AS HE INTRODUCES YET ANOTHER OSCILLATOR TO HIS MIXING BLOCK
HIS WIFE CLARE IS IN AND OUT OF THE ROOM, TRYING TO GET LUNCH TOGETHER WHILE KEEPING AN EYE ON BEN'S ACTIVITIES AND SAFETY
AS HE PULLS TOGETHER A SUBSET OF FREQUENCIES, SUDDENLY A VIBRATIONAL RESONANCE IS SENSED BY BEN, THE WHOLE BENCH STARTS TO MILDLY SHAKE
BEN
"Hey Claire, I think something is happening here...come here.
SHE WALKS OVER AND LOOKS AT LARGE SPECTRUM ANALYZER, NOTICING A NUMBER OF HARMONIC SPIKES EDGING OFF THE TOP OF THE SCALE
CLAIRE
"That's amazing how you can acheive so much potential from so little input power...it looks like two hundred times in amplification, what study is this one on?"
BEN
"Well, I'm suppose to be looking for the baseline frequency's of hydrogen, since this occurs in three separate areas of the total bandwidth starting at 7.2 hertz, then we have mid-band, which looks to be 142.6 megahertz, and finally we've synthesized a cavity at 62.720 gigahertz in the microwave sector, this creates a sonic cluster where the progressive log causes kind of a triaxial feedback between the three frequencies which create the amazing amount of gain you see there...see?"
CLAIRE LOOKING LIKE A DEER STARING INTO HEADLIGHTS
CLAIRE
"Yea, right Ben, whatever you say...this stuff is way beyond anything I've ever messed with, but it looks like your on to something...I'll hand it to you there!"
BEN
"I have'nt really locked the frequencies up yet, I'm still on the outside perimeters of one of these guys...it must be my mid, because it keeps drifting...but it could be the oscillator I'm using."
CLAIRE
"Why don't you try bringing up the amplitude on the middle and see if that does anything?"
BEN STARTS TO SLOWLY BRING UP THE VOLTAGE ON THE MIDDLE FREQUENCY GENERATOR, BENCH STOPS RATTLING, AND THE INPUT FEEDS ON THE FREQUENCY MULTIMIXER START TO GET HOT, INSULATION ON WIRES START TO MELT SLIGHTLY, THEN FROM THE HALLWAY CLOSET, A DOUBLE-BARRELED SHOTGUN THEY STORE IN THEIR HOUSE FOR PROTECTION, JUST GOES OFF BOTH BARRELS, BY ITSELF
BEN AND CLAIRE JUST STARE AT EACH OTHER
BEN
"What in hell was that...that's not what I think it was, huh?"
GOING TO HALLWAY, HE SEE'S WHITE PUFFS OF SMOKE COMING FROM TOP OF HALL CLOSET DOOR
CLAIRE
"No, don't open it Ben, your just going to give it oxygen, let's check outside in the back first!"
BEN
"Good thought, hope the wall's still there!"
BOTH OF THEM RUNNING AROUND BACK, THEY SEE HUGE 3 FOOT OPEN GASH WHERE SHOTGUN HAS DISCHARGED
CLAIRE
"Well, my little mad sceintist, I'm not sure if you hit the resonant frequencies of hydrogen, but there's one thing you may have invented here?"
BEN
"What brillance did I manage to stumble upon this time, my Love?"
CLAIRE
"The remote shotgun!"
BOTH LAUGHING
BEN
"Come on, let's get some plywood over this hole before the neighbors notice anything..."
CLAIRE
"Not much more you can do now, most of your project is just about melted...yea, I'm going to have to go back later and see what the data is saying.
BEN
"Who would buy a remote shotgun anyway?"
CLAIRE
"I don't know Hon...maybe someone who likes to hunt ducks from their car?"
BOTH LAUGHING
