October 31, 200817 yr comment_172242 Kevin probably already has one of these working in his lab, but this is nevertheless an interesting read: Hot nanotube sheets produce music on demand - nanotech - 31 October 2008 - New Scientist Tech The video of the nanotubes being stretched is kinda cool too.

October 31, 200817 yr comment_172248 Fascinating. I can honestly say I never expected them to create sound waves through temperature modulation. Talk about room dependent speakers. Report
October 31, 200817 yr comment_172267 Very cool but looks like it suffers the same LF problems as plasma. Report
October 31, 200817 yr comment_172319 Northwestern University has an entire building just for nano stuff. And 6 professors doing lots of interesting things with nanotubes and nanoparticles. Can't say much till the patents are filed. But it is ultra neat... In theory you could make an electrostatic diaphram out of nanotubes, and be able to drive it push pull with no more than about 30 volts. And it would be very efficient.

November 1, 200817 yr comment_172383 That is soooo cool! I knew there must be some useful purpose for nanotubes Report

November 1, 200817 yr Author comment_172399 Besides very light electrical wiring which is perfect for planes, rockets etc? don't give Ray any ideas.... Report
November 1, 200817 yr comment_172400 don't give Ray any ideas.... Oh crap!!! I'm not worried though since Ray doesn't even know what a CCS is... and he sells tube amps... Report
