    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 :D

    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?

    You sign a non-disclosure agreement - they tell you how it works - you then decide to invest or not

    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.
