I've done experiments with arrays of these ultrasonic speakers at university. You can move little beads around in 3D space. If you put your finger in there you can actually feel the pressure zones pushing on the skin.
@@doiron12 not really. One possible application is as a volumetric display, if you move the particle around fast enough and make it reflect light. But there are better volumetric display technologies.
Awesome demonstration! Would have loved to see sand, or something granular to see the effects on it. Given the Node->Anti-Node relationship and the size of the material. Seeing the tinier material push closer to the Anti-Nodes than the objects you used would be neat.
I couldn't get any smaller particles to levitate. They have to be very small and very light (microgram range). I believe the smaller particle levitation is a lot more finicky and you have to get really good resonance. I'm not sure my setup could have achieved it.
But if I did them I still wouldn't win I was truly hated during middle school even though I did everything right and stayed out of everyone's way,and still got bullied, they would say either I was cheating or I stole it from the entitled kids project.
That slinky demonstration made me actually understand the standing wave! I learnt about it in Physics but never could properly visualise it until now. Thanks!
Really cool! I did know about standing waves since I have played with sound s a lot and have also been building a listening room (in which case, the task is to get rid of standing waves - which can be tricky sometimes, haha). At bass frequencies, the wavelengths get about the same as the room dimensions of normal rooms. Quite cool when playing with bass tone and a standing wave accors - certain frequencies can sound really strong at one point and just one or a few meters beside it, there is pretty much complete silence (since we only hear pressure, not air movement) - but these effects usually don't affect music or sound effects in a pleasant way. I still had no idea that the pressure or air movements can counteract gravity like that - really cool.
What people don't understand is that destructive interferences don't cancel each other. The amplitude is the sound pressure and not energy. Cancelling each other means that the sum of forces is zero which create a node. The energy however is reflected by the node like it was a solid wall.
I actually work in acoustic levitation or rather acoustophoresis, and it's even more complex than explained in the video. First of all, you don't need a standing wave to have acoustic levitation. You just need radiation pressure. So you just need high acoustic pressure, to have enough non linear effects that create that pressure. You can do that with standing waves but also with focused transducers. Moreover, the radiation pressure is much more complex than explained. You have particles that will go to the nodes, and particles that go to the anti node, regardless of their size. It depends on the acoustic contrast factor. For example, if we're talking levitating cells in water, you're gonna have blood cells that will go to the nodes, because their speed of sound and density is a bit larger than water, so the contrast factor is positive. If you have fat cells, which are less dense and with a lower speed of sound than water, they're gonna move to the anti-nodes. At its simplest, radiation pressure is a non linear effect that occurs when a powerful acoustic wave passes from a medium to another. The transfer of "momentum" from a medium to the other creates a force on that interface between the two media. Those media can be two liquids, like a cell in water, or an oil/water interface. It can also be liquid and solid, like a steel ball in water, or it can be gas and solid, like your experiment. I suggest you try water droplets in levitation, some fun stuff can happen, as well as powders, like ground coffee for example. You'll see strange patterns like spirals occurring, showing that on the horizontal plane the acoustic pressure depends on the horizontal coordinates as well, coz no standing wave is perfect. Also, there are amazing similarities between acoustic radiation pressure and electromagnetic radiation pressure. But when acoustic radiation pressure occurs due to a contrast of impedance (IE density and speed of sound), EM radiation pressure occurs due to a contrast of optical index. Also, photons have momentum, but technically an acoustic wave doesn't... So in the world of experts in acoustics, it is not totally understood how it works... You can extract radiation pressure from the equations but in my opinion there is no simple satisfying way to explain its source. A laser emits photons, those photons accelerate or decelerate when passing through an interface, so that interface is subject to a change in momentum, and a force is applied on it as a result. But with acoustic waves, where are the particles ? Where is the momentum ? Physicists have different views on this. Some will say it's simple and they're convinced it's this or that, but to be honest, it's just maths. There is no satisfying explanation.
Than you, your note has been very helpful. A possible answer to those last questions may be in a small sub quantum level where there are only waves of vibrations that intersect to create spikes of energy and small balls of energy that appear/disappear/appear on the larger quantum level. This would explain both the momentum and the two slit experiment observations.
To any youngster who is watching this clip I implore you to take every advantage of whatever education you are currently receiving. I had to educate myself (as best I could) in adulthood. I wish I could give suitable emphasis on how a good education will enrich your life. Military service provided me with options, and joining SF’s provided me with experiences that most people never have, regardless of their wealth or status, although I confess to a healthy kind of envy towards anyone who has received a classical education.
Thanks for helping popularize these awesome little units! You're right. Way easier to deal with than the bulky flat-surface metal ones. I'm going to put them on the Physics Bus so kids can share in the fun!
These are some of the best executed and reported experiments. There are a lot of youtube scientists but few show this level of experimental and analytical skill. Lots of love!
The way you push a particle to the next node reminds me of energy levels and quantum jumps in atoms. And watching the slinky rings at the antinodes gives the ilusion they are teleporting but they are not. Amazing video. The demonstration with the slinky is insane.
I’ve been saying this for a long time, I think the solution to levitating cars (not flying cars) is sound!! Not giant fans (too windy), not magnets (need super conductors) but sound. It works at normal temperatures and pressure. Just install transponders under the roads and the car will have the receiver and voilà! Although, the question is can sound hold the weight of cars? But then again, most of the weight in cars is for energy to make the car move and balance on wheels - in this case there’s no need for all that, we’d have to reinvent the construction of cars! Exciting stuff.
@@derricksallazzo1502 I don’t think it has to be lol. Could you very low or very high frequencies (ultrasound) that we can’t hear. Or use sound absorption.
@@amusableackeem The larger the object, the bigger the acoustic wavelength you'd need, hence the larger the "speaker". For a car, you'd need insane woofers whose wavelength would make it resonate with all kinds of objects. Also, these waves would affect the passengers, and it would transmit up as well, into birds and stuff. Not to mention the amount of energy required would be insane. I work with acoustic levitation of cells. You need 1 to 30 W to levitate micrometer sized cells. Imagine a car that weighs about 200 kg with passengers. I'd go with Musk's hyperloop instead :D
Would really love a dedicated video explaining how you built those speakers. Like calculations to arrive on the amplitude, frequency, based on what thing you want to levitate
Best episode! This is it! That's how it works! Now imagine you understood how to control the sound waves to the point of being able to move all particles caught in the wave. This idea is the clue.
Can you help out Vladflix with some chemistry/physics? He posted a video about an effect where steam from a ball/dome of ice drops to the centre of a flaming cocktail and pools rather than just dropping indiscriminately.
Well i have done engineering in electronics and communication, but i didn't know this till now , well humbled by science and education and your knowledge. Lot of things to learn and especially relearn 🤣😌.
The visualizations are great in this video, very well explained, thank you! I have one trivial question: If air is the medium of this soundwaves in your experiment, what medium do electromagnetic waves use? We all know this magnetic floater toys where you can levitate an object with electromagnets. If the principle is the same (standing waves) what is the medium for electromagnetic waves?
@@godwinemerald2289 As far as my understanding goes gravity is not a thing, therefore it can be no medium like air or water, which are things. Gravity is described as a force and a force is what something does and not what something is.
Electromagnet waves are a disturbance in the field lines of the electric fields all around us. So the electric field is kind of like the medium that is disturbed. Or another way of thinking about it it in terms of particle theory is that electromagnetic waves are actually photons that are shot out like bullets. A bullet doesn't need a medium to fly through, neither do photons.
IMO the issue in the video is that it seems like you need standing waves to have radiation pressure. You don't. You just need any wave, electromagnetic or acoustic. You also confuse a magnetic force with the electromagnetic radiation pressure, those are not the same forces at all. The first one results from the magnetic properties of materials, the other from the optical contrast between two media or objects. Radiation pressure can move any object, regardless of their magnetic properties.
Actually he got it wrong about the size of the particle. If particle go to anti node or node is determined by acoustic contrast factor, I.e. the material property of the target object.
The Egyptians figure put how to what you build to build their structures sound frequency to move larger objects. Just to figure out how to mash produce it like a crane
With the right camera you can see the sound vibrations in the air and using the right code you can take those packets of low and high pressure and change them to sound
I wish they showed us this slinky experiment in physics to explain longitudinal waves. The way that we did it is place a hook on a speaker facing upwards with a string connected going perpendicular to the sound wave out to a rod. Then we calculated the frequency we needed to play the speaker at to get the string to be in a standing transversal wave. It looked really cool, but didn’t really help us understand how the pressure waves of sound work.
I bought the levitation kit that you put together to use with the arduino but never got it working. I would love to give this a try and your setup looks so simple, Could you please do a video on your set up like the ultrasonic transducers you used and what you used to send the signal to the transducers. That would be gratefully appreciated, David.
Wonder if it's possible to suspend water droplets as well or if it would be too heavy but would be interesting to see if the droplets vibrate on the surface since their not rigid.

The more height between super dense sound waves and an object in a closed narrow system with no physical medium, the more time it will take for the particle to fall. This is since the time it will take for the last true standing wave to reflect back to one particle higher than another will be increased, and of course the particles will presume motion when there is not enough of an atmosphere to restrict the sound waves in such a way. I think.
That's the first time I finally understood what standing waves are, super good visual aid here, and very intuitive
same, i could never grasp them
