I can't really see how that speaker could generate any bass whatsoever. The 'diaphragm' couldn't shift much air IMO. Top marks for thinking outside the box though
I'm not sure I really understand how it works, but the claims are impressive! From the picture it looks kind of like a pendulum with an electromagnet swinging it from the bottom?
becasue they don't exist yet....so all the sound is in imagination...therefore perfect sound. Which means they are perfect speakers
Yes i think you have to take it with a pinch of salt until someone has actually seen and heard them. Only a sketch no photograph. Jim.
So what you're saying is that they'd work in a similar way to a stringed instrument? I still can't see it myself, although i'd like to see it work.
i'm guessing, wildly that they work a little like the fan-subwoofer. except instead of rotating and altering pitch of the blades, the singleblade bit twists along its own axis.
That seems a lot more feasible. Although they'd be avoiding a lot of problems and limitations ordinary drivers have, wouldn't they be introducing a whole new set?? It'd be interesting to hear a prototype.
Unless they have invented a new type of unobtainium that can be used to produce a perfectly rigid driver element, this new speaker will exhibit flex and break-up just like a cone speaker does. With a length of 48 inches, a very wide range of break-up modes can be readily accommodated.
I wrote nice, as I could have written interesting, or any other word, it is "nice" to see strange/different stuff...
