This is at least a start on this subject. We are picking up a lot of data from Bronze
Age technology informing us that we need to take sonic work much more
seriously. After all, it was their one
force of nature they could study and research.
It makes sense that they went a long ways.
Conjecture: It will prove
possible to tune powerful resonating sonic needles and knives able to actually
separate gravity forces if it turns out such forces exhibit duality. This tool can also be applied to electromagnetic
effects.
Sonic energy expresses itself physically making the
potential for tool making excellent. We
will need sonic masters.
Japanese Scientists Levitate Objects
Using Sound Waves
Researchers at the University of Tokyo (UoT)
have created a technique of offsetting the effects of gravity to simulate
levitation using sound.
The paper entitled,
“Three-dimensional Mid-air Acoustic Manipulation by Ultrasonic Phased Arrays”,
reads: “Our manipulation system has two original features. One is the direction
of the ultrasound beam, which is arbitrary because the force acting toward its
[center] is also utilized. The other is the manipulation principle by which a
localized standing wave is generated at an arbitrary position and moved
three-dimensionally by opposed and ultrasonic phased arrays.”
Using an ultrasound standing wave (USW) the
team was able to suspend “small particles” in mid-air.
These polystyrene particles were manipulated
“at the third node along one of the acoustic axes from the intersection of the
ultrasound beams. They set the sound pressure to 70 percent, and were able to
move the tiny particle in several directions.”
During the experiments, it was shown that size
matters.
The paper explains: “There are some factors to
be considered in choosing the manipulation target, namely the size and
material. The size of the manipulation target is determined by the distribution
of the potential energy, and a light material is required. The internal force
is also an important factor in selecting the material; for example the
electrostatic force determines the maximum number of particles that can be at a
single node, and the surface tension of the fluid determines the size of
droplets that can be levitated.”
The conclusion of the paper states: “We have
demonstrated an extended acoustic manipulation by which millimeter-sized
particles can be levitated and moved three-dimensionally by localized
ultrasonic standing waves generated by ultrasonic phased arrays.”
The paper concedes that the scientists have
not glossed over the fact that this “method for levitation under gravity
suggests the possibility of developing a technology for handling objects under
microgravity.”
In space, where low-gravity is an issue, this
technique could prove useful.
For
example, an ultrasonic windshield would repel water, thereby making
it safer for the driver in extremely wet
conditions.
