Anyone come across an exponentially tapered transmission line, apart
from the B&W Nautilus? It looks like it would be an amusing project. An
infinite length exponential taper has a finite internal volume so all I
need is to find a wall material with zero thickness :-)


It has just occurred to me that another problem in use would be the
propagation delay along an infinitely long transmission line might mean
you'd have to wait some time after starting to play the music before you
heard anything! Might be best to press 'play' then go and have your
dinner... :-)

Slainte,
