Feedback. As in the loud whining noise you hear when someone's on the radio and they go too near their radio with their telephone, or whatever.
So last week I was at my folk's house and it happened on a phone in on Radio Five Live. My Dad explained to me what did it, but even when he'd told me, I was none the wiser!
Anyone got any personal examples? And if anyone can explain what feedback is in laymen's terms...

I think your original question has already been answered, but here's something I still can't understand: how a sewing machine works. As far as I can tell, it's impossible. Possibly black magic.
For example, if you look at this animation
The thread goes both behind and in front of the spool. So, is it just held aloft by sorcery or something? I mean, it can't be some kind of super-high-tech electromagnetic technology that holds it in midair, because sewing machines have been around for an awfully long time.
Similarly, what's moving that rotating hook that catches the thread? As far as I can tell, it can't be attached to anything or it won't work.
WTF???

Hi,
Have you ever gotten into a conversation with some one who for whatever reason your opinions differed enough to where it became a loud fight? That's "Positive Feedback." Each one excites the other more and the volume increases.
But if you respond with calming and non-argumentive responses it calms the situation. That's "Negative Feedback." You won't allow the volume of the argument to increase.
If you keep pumping on a swing and the swing arches higher each time, that's "Positive Feedback." Positive feedback so are additive so the volume, anger, swing, whatever, goes up. That squeal is you doing a 360 degree flip on the swing or a screaming fight that tears a vocal cord.
Does that help? If not please ask questions. It always helps to visualize the examples. Feel yourself pumping that swing and think about the amplified signal going back to the microphone that amplifies it again again sending it out to return again just like with each push you make and you swing higher until you go all the way around and you squeal. That's exactly what happens which is why they always ask you to turn your radio down or off. It always overloads with feedback. Let me know if I helped you, please.
I'm and old computer design engineer and I need to keep my mind working by helping explain technical things that have always come easy to me. I taught engineering for 10 of my career years the rest designing military weapons systems and telecommunications switching networks. I've been retired for 10 years and I'm recently widowed after 44 years. I gave 7 kids, 17 grand kids from 8 to 36 and 3 great grand kids the latest only 7 weeks old. He is absolutely gorgeous.

To be brutally honest, I don't get that explanation. Maybe it makes sense but I haven't really understood any of the explanations on this yet - not really understood.
I think the problem is that everyone is looking for analogies, and I want to know like actually what is the explanation, technically. If that means it's not in layman's terms then I'll just have to work it out.

Curling. Seriously, I have no idea what the hell it's about. I know every single rule and regulation in both American football and ice hockey, (yes, the "tuck rule" was pure bullshit) but despite several Canadian friends attempting to explain the great sport of Curling to me, I'm lost.

Best way is to watch a game -- there's quite a bit of curling on TV now -- with a friend who knows the rules. They can explain things as the game goes along.
Otherwise it's like trying to explain cricket to someone just with words. A hopeless task!
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
