October 31, 200817 yr 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 Fascinating. I can honestly say I never expected them to create sound waves through temperature modulation. Talk about room dependent speakers.
October 31, 200817 yr 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. (i.e. loud, very loud) By the way, since its halloween http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/h2008-5.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/h2008-6.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/h2008-7.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/h2008-8.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/h2008-9.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/h2008-10.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/h2008-11.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/h2008-12.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/h2008-13.jpg
November 1, 200817 yr Cool pictures, must be very fun to watch live! Are you the mad scientist in the second photo?
November 1, 200817 yr That is soooo cool! I knew there must be some useful purpose for nanotubes Besides very light electrical wiring which is perfect for planes, rockets etc?
November 1, 200817 yr Author Besides very light electrical wiring which is perfect for planes, rockets etc? don't give Ray any ideas....
November 1, 200817 yr 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...

November 1, 200817 yr Besides very light electrical wiring which is perfect for planes, rockets etc? Bleh, that stuff is mundane. Thermal transducers is where it's at
