    The effect with the 10ft tube is rad! I'd like to see you try it with an air compressor and a 4" piece of tube

      Did you try put a funnel at the end of the 10ft pole ?

      @Approx_99 10 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      To explain the noise from the 10ft pipe edition; I bet you anything the noise is caused by air going from sonic to supersonic flow. The diaphragm is likely causing compression waves to overlap, compressing the air and causing it to go supersonic.

    This horn is essentially the same principal as a reed pipe in a pipe organ. Reed pipes can be as short as 1' or as long as 64'. Generally a 64' pipe (which is very rare) can only be felt. A 32' pipe can both be felt and heard. Today such pipes are mimicked by the use of electronics and speakers because of the excessive cost of such pipes. (hundred thousand dollars or more.)
    In a reed pipe there is usually a very thin piece of brass with a very slight curve along its length. It rests against the side of an open sided tube with a stopper at the bottom. The reed flexes back and forth against the tube (Shallot) All the rest is virtually the same as your horn.
