Diffraction (And ads)

Diffraction would essentially split Marisa’s Master Spark into many different lasers, and that would be like some sort of super-powered multi-laser thing. Actually, she probably already knows about diffraction. Maybe there’s some diffraction grating inside the mini-hakkero she carries around. Science in Touhou: it’s more likely than you think!

In other news, I think I’ll be adding ads (ohoho) to the site. It’ll be at the bottom of the right sidebar, so hopefully it won’t be too distracting. I guess if it doesn’t work well or if I make no money from it, I can remove it later. I just wanted to try this, since I’m curious as to how much money I can actually make from ProjectWonderful ads. I’ve tried Google adsense in the past, but I’ve made like $10 in about a year, so it’s not really that great (especially since you need $100 before you can collect any money). I guess the money would be used to pay for the site. Not that I’m in any sort of financial debt or anything, it’s just that my parents have been paying for my various websites for years now, and I might as well get some money to pay them back for it.

  • What does that tiny image say? “??? Watermelon”?

  • hahahaha the watermelon

    I forgot about it

  • OMG I LOVE THAT EXPERIMENT. I flipped when i learned we where doing it. That is the best experiment ever.I braged to people that i got to do this. I actually first heard about it in the elegant universe.

  • I always thought Master Spark was already diffracted.

    Look at the animation for EoSD to see what I mean.

  • Marisa’s gonna learn about Diffraction?
    OH SHI-!

    Wait… wouldn’t that be about the same as Double Spark, except larger?

  • Random Watermelons?
    Suika invading the daily flashes?
    It could quite possibly be more likely than you think!

  • Askeine and Marisa ignoring the messages from the_alice_game amused me more than it should have.

  • well they’re doomed now!

  • This is crazy!

    I am learning about light in my physics class as well.

  • I’ll click on your ads to try and make some money for you! XD

    Diffraction, lol, fun!

  • @Roll: Well actually, I don’t get money from ad clicks, so it doesn’t actually matter if you click them or not. Only click if you’re actually interested in whatever is being advertised (well, once people actually start to advertise).

    I had barely any clicks when I used Google Adsense, which is why I decided to give ProjectWonderful a try, since it uses a different system. It’s like some sort of auction thingy, which seems like a better idea to me. Well, once I get some actual ads, I mean.

    @Zawa: It says “Random watermelon”

    @U.N. Owen: The random watermelon isn’t a representation of Suika in this case; I just happened to receive a suggestion to put a watermelon in the flash, and since I was already done making the flash when it was asked, I just stuck it in a random frame.

  • I use Google adsense for one of my sites and I make 80 cents a day

    I think I’m doing something wrong

  • Adverts? In my Walfas? I wont find out if its any more likely than I think… since I use AdBlocker Plus.. and unfortunately ProjectWonderful is one of the ads filtered out :/
    Although I am kind of curious what kind of ads Walfas would get… I remeber the ones that places like Danbooru and such would get before I installed it… adverts for things like some furry website and other porn crap… websites I would never visit…
    I would imagine a banner advert would require not much effort, but KirbyM have you ever considered any thing like teeshirts or stuff? Stuff like Cafepress? Walfas bloggy characters like nameless character on shirts? Putting Touhou stuff on the shirts? I might actually buy that kind of stuff…

  • Diffracting Master Spark?

    NO WAY, THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE!

  • Surely Marisa already knows about diffraction! What about her ‘Non-Directional Laser’ in Imperishable Night? (Which, by the way, looks neat.)

    On a side-note, AsKeine was great! xD

    And if split too much, it would end up taking a whole several seconds to cook random items, rather than several nanoseconds.

  • If Patchy won’t teach her about diffracting lasers, Letty will.

  • Touhou law states that you can’t have unavoidable attack. No diffraction master sparks allowed.

    @KirbyM: Thank you/Curse you for getting me into Mabinogi. I’m spending hours playing/getting yelled at by my room mates playing Mabinogi. It’s a very fun game/life sucker

  • well “IF” this place was a Thai community and can track more people like a 1000000 IP per day I would buy your ad

  • @JUM: Non-Directional Laser is avoidable. Therefore a diffracted Master Spark wouldn’t necessarily be unavoidable. You’d just need to keep your wits about you more.

  • I hate the “Ad” thingy >_>, even if it0s for you you making money, just look at what it’s displaying for god’s sake !!!!

  • OMG, there’s only one physic text book in gensokyo?
    Lol at the “ASKeine”

  • @SomethingUnreal: Non-directional Laser size is nowhere near the size of Master Spark. Just youtube diffraction and imagine the laser was a Master Spark. Even Aya isn’t fast enough to get out of the way. Not like there’s anywhere to go

  • I like the joke, but I don’t get the argument in the comments. We are assuming Master Spark is an EM wave of some sort? Who’s putting science in my magic? (#゚Д゚)

  • Someone needs to set up AsKeine. Now.

    @YoumuPiko:
    Hay, where’s that from?

  • But Keine is a history expert, so yeah!

  • That image is from one of, uhhhm. Gosh darn it, what was their name.

    Oh right. It’s Hole of Yago’s “A”. Just go look through gensokyo.org’s archives.

    Also, was that bored-looking character in today’s flash?

  • Diffraction is already known.

    Ask Yuka all about it.

  • The 5-way laser was diffraction.

  • What about double spark?
    it starts out as 2 separate beams but merges into one super “Giant F’ing laser”
    Perhaps diffraction will have a similar effect?

  • Ads? I knew you’d put one up eventually! I was right! :D

    But anyway

    How would diffraction work for Master Spark?
    You’d need a pretty big diffractor or whatever

  • You could always put Google ads on and just simply ask people to click on it once a day. I mean, you do get a good amount coming here daily.

  • Oh wow, no ads yet, after about a day. I guess if I don’t get any actual ads in a week, I’ll take the adbox down since it’s unnecessary.

    @Pingy: T-shirts would probably involve too much effort and I don’t really have any experience with that sort of stuff. I dunno, I might consider doing it in the future, but for now, most likely not.

    @Ramus: Well, there’s a thing on Google adsense where they say you can’t tell people to click on ads, or something like that.

  • …Haa… I had it all figured out… until I realized it had to be skyscraper size, and now 80% of the fake ad is nonsense…

  • Awesome. XD

    I can’t quite get over the “Internet in Gensokyo” thing.

  • Obviously thanks to the AsKeine Marisa now knows about diffraction. Well, as they say, fuck you internet. Everyone protect your book collections.

  • Finally, an ad! And… it’s an ad for walfas.org… on walfas.org! Wooo! Within 24 hours, I will have made nine cents from this!

  • The ad price just went up to ten cents.

    INFLATION!?

  • What do you call the Jamaican ratio separated into a numerator and a denominator?

  • whoa. this is very, very physics.

    yuka’s would be similar to that of a converging lens experiment, only larger. no, wait.

    Double spark = 2 light rays coming from a point whose distance from the lens is shorter than the focal length, resulting in an image double the size of the-WAIT. if it was like this, then wouldn’t the resulting image be on the same side as the incident ray?

    I’m confused.

  • Most doujins show Master Spark as one-handed so I always thought of Double Spark being shot with both hand separately. Final Spark would be both hands together

  • @JUM: Marisa two-hands Master Spark in IaMP.

    Anyway, I think a five-way difraction of Master Spark will render each beam only twice the radius of Illusion Laser.

  • ADS!?! Madness!

  • This is WALFAAAAAAS

    *kicks Piero into a hole*

  • Oh boy…the ante’s been upped a bit, now at 30 cents. How long until it hits $4.95?

  • ‘Secret’: there are 2 kinds of Diffraction. Everyone knows of Frauenhoffer Diffraction, which is the whole ‘tiny slits at a long distance’ thing. Then there is Fresnel Diffraction, where you don’t even need slits~

  • Heh heh. The Alice Game.

    Rozen Maiden FTL.
