Can you expound upon the Q-factor of a resonant
circuit (or mechanical oscillator)?

Sure, the quality factor Q has no precise definition, but
basically is a measurement (or calculation) of the
sharpness of the oscillator.
Q = natural frequency / damping.

No, it has a very specific definition:

2*pi*(energy stored)/(energy dissipated) [per cycle]


The smaller the damping the smaller the bandwidth
and larger the Q-factor will be (the larger the
sharpness of the oscillator).

"Larger the sharpness"? That's horrible, imprecise
word salad. Still, how do you reconcile your idea
that at resonance there is no energy loss to the fact
that resonant systems have a Q-factor?


Now it's your turn.

No, I think you still need a few more attempts.

Can you expound upon the "energy of resonance"
of the resonator himself, based on the Q-factor,
or whatever? (to save your friend Gisse).

Eric doesn't need my help here; he knows what's
what.
