Lmao!
The speaker is unique (here) because it uses molecular displacement rather than amplitude displacement to create sound waves.
Take a sink, water, with a floating cork.
Push (without miniature tsunamis) to make waves.
That's how speakers work. Want it louder? Push the waves harder with your hand. Common sense.
Most all speakers work that way.
But watch the cork. It doesn't move with the waves, it bobs up and down.
Now same experiment - except this time, push the cork up and down.
Big waves faster without the work.
At the micro scale, amplitude displacement vs molecular displacement.
When the Rolling Stones made the Guinness Book for the loudest concert in the late 70s, their woofers were traveling over a half foot. The air molecules? A half a millimeter.
Diaphragm speakers work on this principle and were developed by Bell Labs in the 30s. The ones in my den are 5 feet tall, puny to what you've heard at a Bob Dylan concert or an IMAX theater where they're really popular.
Could the idea work on a phone?
Kyocera brought it to market last year.
Phandroid didn't want to hear it from me because I'm not a writer. The competitors didn't want to hear it if my own team didn't.
This technology exists. You've probably heard it and have been blown away.
And it's so cheap that Kyocera could do it on a crappy phone.
And it freaking rocked.
Lmao. I'd love nothing better than this new invention to be discovered and pioneered.
Because it's just so new. :rofl:
I apologize. But they do it to us right and left to the point that I could write a book - a worstseller.
I have to laugh to drive away the pain. :rofl:
