Cymatic Sound demonstration

The videos below were recorded from a simple experiment in the patterns created by sound waves interacting with water. The science of cymatics, as it’s known, refers to the measurement and analysis of the physical properties of sound waves. A classic illustration of this is the Chladni plate, a device that allows you to visualize the manifestations of sound waves and the resulting patterns within a solid surface. In this…

Well, some mixed results in testing. Due to the amount of safety features, ironically, the device has yet to produce successful combustion in the main chamber. It’s assumed to be a fuel/air mixture problem so far, but I thought I’d share the dissatisfying but driving results.

The vortex ring cannon is almost ready for it’s maiden test firing. After finally getting some tape and assembling a variety of safety mechanisms, the vortex ring cannon project is moving to test firing. If this is successful, it will represent a great leap for mad science enthusiasts. Check it out below! And before everyone says “well, there goes the neighborhood!”, the vortex ring cannon has a variety of safety…
