Is there any wave interference pattern that can result in a wave of a different frequency?
I'm thinking of a nifty new invention that could make use of such a phenomenon, but how can I arrange two or more sources of electromagnetic waves in such a way that they interfere with each other in such a way that they produce some waves of different frequency? Is it even possible?
An easy way is to take a single source, split the signal into two, delay one part slightly and then recombine. Depending on the phase difference you caused by the delay you will get "beats" of any frequency you like up to the source frequency.

A question: Did you read the hologram topic? If so, why not post in the hologram topic, and stop a pathetic attempt at stealing other people's concepts, primarily mine.
OMG! Ocalhoun stole your concept from the hologram topic? Good thing you caught that or who knows what could've happened

I did not read that topic (that I remember).
It seems that we've had the same idea in parallel.
I got the idea from thinking about two-slit experiments and the electromagnetic spectrum.
