  Harmonic number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the n-th harmonic number is n times the inverse of the harmonic mean of the first n integers.
Harmonic numbers were studied in antiquity and are important in various branches of number theory.
They are sometimes loosely termed harmonic series, are closely related to the Riemann zeta function and appear in various expressions for various special functions.

 Harmonic series (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The harmonic series diverges, albeit slowly, to infinity.
Even the sum of the reciprocals of the prime numbers diverges to infinity (although that is much harder to prove; see proof that the sum of the reciprocals of the primes diverges).
The difference between distinct harmonic numbers is never an integer.

 Low noise fan assembly - Patent 5169288
The number of vanes is selected for a predetermined number of blades for obtaining substantially equal values of a cut-off ratio for at least two blade passing frequency harmonics for reducing spinning mode noise from the duct.
In other words, the number of vanes V may be relative to a predetermined number of blades B for obtaining simultaneously substantially equal values of the cut-off ratios for at least two of the harmonic numbers n.
Since the magnitude of contribution to the overall noise spectrum decreases as the harmonic number increases, the noise attributable to the second harmonic associated with the second curve 72 is substantially greater than the noise contributed by the third harmonic associated with the third curve 74.

 Harmonic Series
The fundamental is the loudest, the first harmonic is the second loudest, and so-on.
Ratio to Fundamental is the ratio in hertz between the harmonic and the fundamental.
You achieve this by dividing the ratio by the appropriate power of two, (equivalent to transposing down a number of octaves) so that your result is a ratio between 1/1 and 2/1.

 Harmonic Charts
A harmonic horoscope is derived by multiplying the longitude of every planet by a number to arrive at the planets' new zodiacal position in that harmonic number.
In the President's Seventh Harmonic chart, his glorified macho planets, Mars and Neptune at 14 and 18 Scorpio, are in a stressful square to Saturn at 15 Leo, suggesting a fear of impotence (Saturn square Mars).
Harmonics is for those who love astrology because they love the mystery of order, because they see beauty in the infinite wisdom that correlates cosmic activity with human experience.

 Fundamentals of Harmonics
Harmonics: It surfaced as a buzzword in the early 1980s, making many people reconsider the effectiveness of their building's wiring system.
We define harmonics as voltages or currents at frequencies that are a multiple of the fundamental frequency.
For example, a harmonic with a frequency of 180 Hz is known as the third harmonic (60x3 = 180).

Harmonic 0 specifies that an overall (rms) amplitude envelope plot is desired.

 Introduction To The Harmonic Aspects Method
Both the Harmonic Aspect Method and Harmonic Astrology use the finding of John Addey that traditional esoteric teachings on the significance of numbers provide clues to the meanings of the various series of aspects.
A harmonic aspect is any division of the 360-degree circle which can be defined by a fraction in which both the numerator and the denominator are integers.
Theoretically, it is possible to analyze every horoscope in terms of any of an infinite number of Harmonic Aspect Series but, beyond about the 36th or 37th aspect series, they seem to have less and less relevance to the cognitive levels of human experience.

 Effects of Noise on Sampler Quantization Errors
To investigate the generation of harmonics by quantization errors the test signal is a 20 Hz sine wave intentionally centered on one of the FFT spectrum channels to eliminate any windowing sidelobes that would obscure the sine wave's harmonics.
The number of spurious signals is far greater than is seen with a single sine wave, although the peak spurious signal intensity is about 7 dB lower that the strongest harmonic in Figure 5.
All of the harmonics are definitely produced by A/D quantization because the strength of the harmonics relative to the fundamental decreases with increasing fundamental amplitude.

Distortion rms is the rms value of the harmonic voltage with the fundamental left out of the summation, and it increases the farther away you measure from the source.
Since transformer impedance is frequency dependent, increasing with harmonic number, the impedance at the 5th harmonic is five times that of the fundamental frequency.
These 3rd harmonic currents circulate in the primary (delta) of the distribution transformer that serves the portion of the system powering the computers and are dissipated as heat.

 Mindconnection's Electrical Connection: Harmonic Power Flow Direction
When the phase angle of the harmonic voltage and current is between 90 degrees and 270 degrees (270 is also referred to as -90 degrees) on a properly installed CT, then it is assumed that this harmonic power flow is in the opposite direction of the fundamental power flow, or from load to source.
The user must be cautioned that in a number of measurements, the harmonic current and voltage levels are so low that the harmonic watts number is so small that it may be meaningless, as would be the direction of power flow information.
For example, if on a 120V/30A circuit, there is a 5th harmonic voltage of 0.05 V and harmonic current of 0.2 A, 0.01W is really insignificant and the accuracy of the direction is very low.

The tones are anchored by harmonic 1 and each successive tone/anti-tone is a 14th root of 3/2, so doubling the tones by adding the anti-tones requires changing the calculation to 14th roots of 3/2).

Note that if a large number of harmonics is requested, the resulting text will scroll up the screen, so that the early values in which you may be most interested may be lost (see Using the Windows Console).
Inharmonicity (the degree to which harmonics deviate from their centre frequency) is measured relative to the weighted average frequency (presumed to be the true fundamental pitch), so that variations such as vibrato do not affect the calculation.
Where a harmonic is given, the original data for that will be preserved (it must not be used in a breakpoint line), and the other specified harmonics will be created from it according to the defined transfer function.

Again, the result is that, at this harmonic number, the third LO upper side band 212 covers the gap left by the side bands from the first and second LO frequencies.
The set of equations for determining the LO frequencies and harmonic numbers for this set of frequencies can be derived similarly to the way the equations for proceeding from the top of the microwave range down were derived.

 Arithmetic, Geometric and Harmonic Sequences by Stephen R. Wassell for the Nexus Network Journal vol.3 no.4 Autumn 2001   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The situation is directly analogous for a geometric sequence, whereby the second of any three numbers in a row must be the geometric mean of the first and third.
Returning to the forward direction, we see that if at any point in the generation of a harmonic sequence, the last number is double the second-to-last number, we will get a zero denominator if we try to find the next number in the sequence.
All sequence numbers from this point onwards will be negative, and since the magnitude of the denominator will get larger and larger (in the negative direction) at each step, the magnitudes of the sequence numbers will get smaller and smaller, approaching 0 (from the negative direction).

 Microtonality, Tunings and Modes
One of the most interesting properties of the harmonic series is its fractal nature: each prime number in the series introduces a new (non-doubled) tone into the series that then becomes a "new fundamental" for generating another harmonic series.
For example, the third harmonic in Example 2 at 300 Hz is the first frequency in the series that is not a doubling (octave) of the fundamental and generates its own series: 300, 600, 900, 1200 and so on.
Since the harmonic series is linear but octaves are powers of two there are more and more harmonics per octave as the series rises: the first octave in the series contains 1 frequency, the second 2, the third 4, the fourth 8 and so on.
