I'm only 9 minutes into this incredible video and you have the most wonderful ways of explaining the complicated physics of Diaphragm loading and Impedance matching I've ever heard. I love how you're making these complex subjects so digestible. Definitely earned a subscriber today.

Excellent breakdown and explanation, as always. Really enjoying catching up with some of your videos. I have interests in many of the subjects you cover and enjoy adding to my knowledge of them. My only criticism, and it's not present in every video I've seen, Is the annoying "music" generated by u tube. Its horribly off putting for someone who enjoys real music! I enjoy a very wide range of genres but muzak just isn't good for anyone! Otherwise, awesome work, as usual, nice one!
I honestly don't know how you do it, even though I was never particularly good at physics and the like, I can understand perfectly what you're explaining. Great job as always, can't wait for the next one.
@@kiyoponnn meh... Yeah... But also... There are a certain number of people that WILL understand these things...and another group of people that will NEVER understand these things.... Perhaps those that will never understand like enthusiastic outdoor activities...
One of my favorite things about your videos is that you ALWAYS say "we" or "us" - sharing credit with your son/partner/team. So glad I found your videos on here. Keep up the great work dad!
We are all the same thing so yes. As a collective whole there's parts that are humble with the knowledge. Just know this video may grab the wrong attention so save it.
I have been subscribed for a while now. Most people don't understand a word you say. I feel intelligent due to the fact That I understand what your saying. Thank you for the information and for blowing Kids minds. They think they can throw 2--15"s with a big amp in there truck and bump forever. This is science not BS!! thank you for the work your doing.
You have me feeling like I am missing something special in my life. I have an inquisitive mind but my father wasn't much of an encourageable personality. Would never blame him on how I ended up, I was never that disciplined. Your demeanor, your patience, the depth of your knowledge and even your voice. Well , with someone like you around who knows what could have become of me. Needless to say , you are amazing. Not that you are old, you do kinda remind me of my grandfather, whom past away when I was 5.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You continue to amaze me with the plethora of knowledge that you have. Not just general knowledge, but detailed technical knowledge. And you have a way of explaining it that makes it easy for us common folk to understand. I know there's been some speculation on what your career might be, and you almost denied one profession that I am aware of. But to think you would not be involved in higher education in some form or fashion is a stretch. You are so comfortable explaining things, and doing so without a cue card or anything. You're also able to nail segways and move through the important points you want to cover, again without cue cards or notes. I continued to be amazed and I love this channel. I have told numerous people about it and made some of them watch all or part of one of your videos (whether they wanted to or not). Please keep publishing the videos, this is one area of my life that continues to challenge and exercise my brain, and I love it!!! Thank you for all you do, I know the time spent preproduction and postproduction for a video is about 10-15 times longer than the video, so I know its a lot of work. Please know that work is equally appreciated!!!
In 1990 I put together a Kicker sub with two upward firing 2x6 cone tweeters and didn’t understand why they would drive me out of the cab of my pick up truck. They were so loud that I eventually put socks in the to calm them down. I didn’t understand that audio lesson until I watched your video. I used crossovers and everything. Now I know. Thank you!
It would be super cool to have some video explaining your background and how did you get to the level of knowledge you have now. I understand that you might want to keep it about your work and not about your person, but I believe that showing your journey might inspire some people to pursue engineering careers and help them in their journeys :)
Why? You'd probably call him a douche anyway. News Flash, buddy... Every time someone speaks the truth or shares a little about their background, they are automatically demonized by jealous spectators.
Very clear and simple explanations from someone who clearly knows what he is talking about. The comments about interference, nodes and anti-nodes was fascinating.
Having once taken apart a megaphone similar to the Pyle megaphone you showed at 17:00 the driver is actually in the back of the horn. It's folded twice, with an inner 1st horn hidden underneath the 2nd horn, which is then reflected out to the primary horn. I mounted a 1/4" tube fitting to the end of the megaphone driver I disassembled and turned it into a very effective talkbox.
Another potentially dry topic, made extremely interesting and informative... wonderful demonstration, yet again. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work! Have a great, safe weekend yourselves! Cheers! - Jesse
One minor note about phased arrays and why you wouldn't want one for an LRAD is that when you try to steer a beam off of the normal to the plane, you get an angular dependence. Since the LRAD uses a chirp, this would result in a sweep of the beam if you tried to steer it electronically. This is my favorite youtube channel and by far the most informative/educational. Thank you for all of your effort.
I am an electronics technician, and in my younger days I used to build high power amplifiers (using MOSFETs). I also used t build speaker baffles, however this video has highlited many void points. Thanks!
I'm not even a hobbyist, but I like to understand what people are talking about, and I like to understand things like this. I appreciated very much the impedance matching description, totally get it. I also really liked the illustration of constructive and destructive interference of sound waves. I had a gentleman probably 20 years ago draw a very similar diagram explaining to me how noise cancellation worked. It was brand new back then.
You know what I love most about you and your channel. The no b.s. you were one of the few channels who didn't blend in with the sheep and wear a face mask when taping a video. Keep up the authenticity!

My absolute favorite thing about your channel is how you change the into depending on the topic and past content you've created, by curating an intro to the topic at hand. You're the best. Keep up the technical info !
The irony is I've been wanting one of these. Figured it would be good for defending against predators during camping by having it mounted to a truck. Seems cleaner and more efficient than alternatives. Plus it can scream for help if needed.
idk if thats a good or bad thing. Sounds like you think its good, but to me that sounds like a sign that out attitudes and perceptions of life have become ill.
@@GodofLovers no, definitely a bad thing. The entire world seems to be going to shit, everyone hates each other and our evil media perpetuates it. You have people losing their livelihood and rightfully angry about it and others telling them to just stay home and trust the very government that only makes things worse when they try to "fix" things. Getting excited about science is a good thing, but it's sad when that happens to be the highlight of your day.
I have been building many speaker systems during the past 45 years. Applied (what I hope) proper design rules. But this is the first time I have seen a proper explanation of what actually impedance matching is for a driver. Most if not all technical articles copy the same phrases from other articles, apparently without a fundamental understanding by the author. Thank you.
I just want to say that I really enjoy your videos. It is always really interesting to watch. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and for making great content to watch.
Well, I now have a game plan for my DIY Bluetooth speaker’s highs and mids… Finger’s crossed for a video before next summer that gives me the info for an eyes-bleeding bass system that looks amazing, sips the watts and costs less then my first car. 😁 Thanks for all that you do, man. Your videos’ “shit learned to time spent” ratio (SL/TS) is among the best anywhere.
I'm going to replicate the device you made. Some time back I looked into how LRAD worked but I could not find much about it. Thanks for explaining it. I love your videos.
Tech Ingredients, simply one of the best channels on TH-cam. On this one, I found the physics of wave reinforcement and sweeping frequencies to form continuously variable peaks fascinating. The reverse shield to focus reflected LRAD emissions back to the source was also very cool! Kudos!
Just thanks for all that nice content! Carry on! And I really love that you folks always tell about the price of stuff. Some youtube channels play with insanely expensive stuff, but get sponsored. So it's really great to know, those things are affordable too.
Thank you so much for making physics understandable and even fun! Sonics and acoustics are of interest to me as a musician. I just did an experiment where I found that playing a sine wave at 1000 Hz was different than a chirp from 400 Hz to 2000 Hz. I noticed it was louder towards the high end. In fact, to me here, 1900 Hz is louder than 2000 Hz, by a noticeable amount. I haven't liked learning this much since I discovered the work of Julius Sumner Miller.
Love it! You are one helluva communicator! My kid used to love her science classes -- then she moved on to a teacher who hardly involved the class in labs, and she grew weary of science. Fortunately, I am a bit of a mad scientist myself, and love to run my own experiments, and I think, slowly but surely, she's starting to rediscover the wonder of the physical world we live in!
Good! I think the future of education is not in the institutions that have traditionally been the primary source. With the growth of the network society we'll see more and more connection between students and innovative, appealing and effective teaching.
@@TechIngredients Yes sir! And at the expense of sounding like a sycophant, (I prefer psychopath myself--I kid!) channels like Tech Ingredients are pioneering that effort. Cheers!
It wasn't as bad as some of the earlier ones in which you had to try to simultaneously listen The Presenter talk for long periods of time! This was much more humane I would say.
Sir each time I have watched your videos iv noticed that you have the most amazing ability to explain really complex ideas in the most simple of ways, this clearly a testament to your in-depth understanding of all these ideas and technologies. Being able to teach is a rare skill that you make seem so easy. Honestly amazing channel !
Solid factual information being delivered by a man who can show us how things work......Coolness personified! Information is the most interesting thing in the world and popular entertainment is polluting the field.
Excellent explanation of sound properties and speakers. LRAD started in the same building with the company I was working for in early 2000 in San Diego. We were developing sonar systems for Navy and they were developing speaker systems when they came upon the technology which I believe was developed by either a college professor or a small company. There were other players developing the technology but LRAD obviously did a better job of marketing their technology.
I keep saying it. this guy must be a really cool dad. I hope his son is learning a lot from him. Not many fathers out there that are as smart as this man. :) One thing I would love to see is a video about sonar, like what submarines use. How its used, why and also a home DIY version of it :)
Great stuff! Im a big car audio guy and really enjoyed this. Im a big Orion fan also. I would like to clarify a couple comments. First Orion does make higher quality equipment. The cobalt amplifier used here is their lower to mid tier. They have 4 product lines and its the second on the list, the drivers are from one of the higher lines though. Second there is no video in existence that will show the cobalt amp being used here doing anywhere remotely close to 6000w or even 4500w. In reality it will do around 600w rms and maybe 1000w peak, it only has 60 amps of fusing. Many companies over rate their amplifiers and sadly Orion is one of them. They only do it with their lower quality stuff though. Its basically just to appeal to the masses. Their high quality amps are actually overrated, like most other high quality amps are. Also those drivers are rated at a "real" 300w rms and he has them wired @4ohms stereo so they are only getting half of the 600ish watts the amp is capable of. And the drivers are only getting about a quarter of their rms power and as a result they are producing alot less output than they are capable of.
@@MemeScreen If you wanted to stick with orion this amp would be a much better choice. And its basically the same price ($107) You would be getting triple the power he is at 900w rms. You would wire the amp at 4ohm stereo (like he has it) but you would be bridging two channels of the amp on each set (its a 4ch amplifier and his was a 2ch). www.ebay.com/itm/Orion-CBT35004-Cobalt-4-Channel-Amplifier-3500-Watts-Max/333693285505?epid=21040375480&hash=item4db1ab7481:g:R~cAAOSwJsVfPwpt
@@MemeScreen You're welcome. They do still make them and the current price seems normal. Orions xtr and hcca gear is pretty scarce even though its still in production. Im not sure where he managed to get a 4 pack at $90 each. He could easily be mistaken on the price or may have got them used. $150+ new is typical for a driver of that caliber. If you were looking for a more affordable alternative I would go with these. The setup would still be significantly louder than his since he is running so underpowered on his drivers. www.ebay.com/itm/4-DS18-PRO-DKH1-2-VC-Compression-Driver-Horn-640W-8-ohm-Super-Tweeter-Speaker/262678944556?epid=7032171069&hash=item3d28e29b2c:g:o-4AAOSwA1tfjtxY

Are you referring to the plastic plates that were sent out by the hundreds in the 50s-60's with the note reading " Please destroy me" (or something to that effect) as part of a marketing stunt to show off the Co's super tought plastic?

@@mckenziekeith7434 No, Dr. Murray- Smith not a kook. lol Quirky, yes, but not a kook. :) He may seem brief on some topics in recent videos, but that is only because he's covered those portions of the topic at considerable length in prior videos. (often step by step & utilizing various methodologies, describing the pros and cons of each method as he goes.) He's been making videos covering many different areas of scientific interest for quite a few years. He's considered ,by many, to be a prominent authority on graphene and graphetized carbons & has quite an impressive list of academic and professional credentials. (He's just very down to earth & doesn't like to brag about his accomplishments, but they are certainly there and verifiable , should one care to check.) If you appreciate Tech Ingredient's ch. I'm sure you'll find some of Rob's work interesting. They have different presentation styles and personalities, but they are both brilliant in their own ways! Hope this helps. K.

Dude first time viewer of the channel and I must say you are amazingly awesome at taking a highly technical answer and organizing it in a series of micro explanations that are simple to understand thus letting them really sink the subject into the brain. You also have the marvelous ability to make the explained micro answers happen in the correct order as to eliminate confusion of the total picture. Kudos sir this 30 year old young buck is now building 6 LRAD units it looks like and only doing so due to your amazing ability to create killer content that makes sense of a subject I knew "none-ya" on 20 mins ago so keep it up please your great for it
This is fascinating. I thought LRAD was this extremely complex system with computers and special materials. This reminds me of an "ultrasonic gun" my father built with a very small horn speaker a little transistor amplifier, and a high-frequency oscillator. He mounted all of it in a plastic pitcher, like you'd use for juice or lemonade, but with a lid. He mounted the horn to the lid, attached the circuitry to plastic rails he glued into it, added what at the time was a large power pack with C-cell batteries, and filled the rest of the empty space in the thing with insulation to damp the sound coming back at the user. The frequency was pretty high -- I could just hear the bottom edge of it, but all he perceived from it was a beam of pain. It worked like gangbusters on stray or feral dogs, some of which ran in small packs in our neighborhood. He'd wave this thing at them and they'd run the other way, howling. About 15-18 years ago, a guy invented a device that would "beam" sound into your head. You'd hear it, but a person right next to you wouldn't. It was designed for focused communication -- the inventor's example was a "shelf talker" device in a supermarket or department store, that would emit a beam of sound that generally would not be heard, but if you intersected it, a short message about that particular product was "spoken" into your head. There was some other talk about it, and I wish I could remember the name of the company the guy started. I was tempted to put some money into stock from that company for my 401K, but I'm not very knowledgeable about stocks, so I dithered on the subject. By the time I'd decided to do it, the company had pretty much vanished, POOF! Turns out they were acquired by a government contractor with military contracts through the DoD under DARPA. A few years later, LRAD popped up on the radar. Seeing that these devices aren't terribly complicated or expensive, I'm seriously considering mounting a couple on my house's roof, to keep unwanted visitors in large groups from getting too close to my house. It would also give me the ability to talk to them without using phones to call or text back and forth. Add some hefty stepper motors and a gear train, and you could aim the thing remotely. Add a goodly-sized LiFePO4 battery pack, a BMS and a small solar panel, and it could easily operate even if power was cut. Per the Non-Aggression Principle, it would of course only be deployed where violence had already been offered, to defend against such violence. I like the idea of being able to back up a request that such persons leave my property with an effective deterrent.
@@CriticoolHit ... nothing that a stage sound technician is not used to ... but really, there are things that Covid-19 has somehow alleviated the suffering, eh, eh, eh .... I say, playing with serious things!
Love it! Please do the holosonic/audio spotlight next! The ultrasonic directional sound that turns into audible sound by the time/when it hits your ears.
I've wondered about the health effects of ultra sonic frequencies at very high SPL. Is there research thay suggests it's okay? We don't sense xray or pure UV but they can be damaging.
@jdh7803 Can you provide some reference for this sonic weapon? It seems unlikely to me, because helicopter blades produce a very strong low frequency signal about 6hz. People do not die, although some buildings have structural failure.
That's exactly my thought. I'd like to use a shotgun mic and LRAD to play the dogs barking back to themselves, with something like a 0.5 second delay. Problem is I'd like it to be focused enough not to affect the neighbors that are about 40 degrees to one side. With barking being at a much lower frequency, I'm not sure this can be solved for a reasonable about of money.
@@firstmkb Probably end up melting your evil lair when when your need to broadcast wicked bass lines trumps the integrity of the lava tubes. What a way to go though... I wanna die in flowing hot magma because I played "Bad Company" by Bad Company too loud. Epic.
It'd be interesting to make an interference map with a depth camera and remote mic. Then you could make one for each frequency and have a computer calculate the best frequency based on the person position relative to the LRAD. Then move to multiple targets with oscillating frequencies. Might be a good collaboration with Stuff Made Here.
17:26 Have you considered 3D printing the folded horns, And then placing the sound producing parts inside? Having a 3D printer would probably be beneficial to you in more ways than one. I am sure you could come up with all kinds of uses for a plastic modeling system.
"Well, you've got your rioters, who feel that life ain't fair, your cops, who are employed to keep the rioters in check, and then you've these four arseholes pointing an LRAD at both, just for shits and giggles."
@@Jcewazhere Here I thought you had a link to rioting and looting. Instead it is just more liberal blathering about mainstream media induced hysteria. If you tell people they are a victim often enough they will believe you. Then when they engage in criminal behavior they will fight and resist the police.
@@BryanTorok You're a closed minded moron. It isn't the media that made rioting ensue nor were the people that were victims within it any less victims. Conservative media outlets are trying to downplay the significance of the protests as a police issue and are trying to politicize them because they all have a political agenda and are only trying to fear monger, desensitize and divide people, so that gullible idiots like you vote for them out of fear and not with your head like a good little sheep. The Republican politicians are only out for the rich and the wealthy and are only interested in maintaining power through any means necessary, even if it means turning America into a fascist regime. It's all happening right now, plain as day. All you have to do is open your eyes and look at their actions, you can see it easily.
@@ReallyRyan. So take everything you said, and reverse it, then you will be correct. Only democrats take donations from corporate America. The left are fascists. The left created the KKK and slavery. Not one republican ever owned a slave. Dems keep people on modern plantations in urban blight, they keep them on welfare so they are dependent, this is how they buy their votes. BLM is a racist hate group, that was only made to steal millions of dollars from corps. There is no systemic racism, twice as many whit people are shot by cops each year, but they aren't in the news(media lies/fake news). Every person that has been the news wouldn't have been shot if they didn't resist arrest.
@@ReallyRyan. We have 180 degree opposite viewpoints. I've spent a great deal of time looking at things from many viewpoints, including yours. I come from the perspective that the USA is an exceptional country which has brought more freedom, opportunity, and prosperity to more people than any other country. Yes, we weren't and aren't perfect. Nothing done by humans is perfect, but we grow and improve. Very credible, independent studies done by a variety of sources have concluded that there is NOT a high rate of police misconduct. In 9 out of 10 controversial incidents where there was a rush to judgement, ultimately after thorough investigation the officer(s) were cleared. Obama stoked the flames of racial division by rushing to condemn police and never once apologized when he was wrong. Recently, Biden repeated the lie about Michael Brown (Hands up, don’t shoot) from Ferguson, MO. Biden apparently forgot (or just doesn’t care) that the Obama/Biden DOJ concluded that the officer was justified in shooting, Hands Up was a lie, and that the incident was not racially motivated. Yet, he repeated the lie for political purpose. www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/opa/press-releases/attachments/2015/03/04/doj_report_on_shooting_of_michael_brown_1.pdf Trump has repeatedly reached across the aisle to work, negotiate, or compromise with the other side, and been rebuffed by Pelosi & Schumer who lie and spin and refuse to give Trump any small victory even if hurts their own cause and people. The latest is the COVID relief packages. If they can't get everything they want, they turn down everything and blame Trump. If you think Trump is a racist, you should watch this video. www.c-span.org/video/?c4902129/user-clip-herschel-walker There are many Black people who have made similar testaments. BLM and Antifa are both Marxist organizations with the great goals of creating chaos and implementing a socialist/communist regime like the failed governments of Venezuela and Cuba. You don't see masses of people walking thousands of miles or getting into small boats to flee the USA and go there. Here is a gentleman who tell the story of his family fleeing the Spanish socialist revolution and later the rise of Castro in Cuba. www.c-span.org/video/?c4901970/user-clip-important-speaker-rnc BLM and Antifa are, in fact, the fascists, rioting, looting, burning, and attacking innocent people. There are lots of videos to support this. Heck, there was a group that was live streaming from Portland and Seattle. One could see it live and unfiltered. It is you that needs to open your eyes and climb out of your ideology.
Actually ohmage is very technically correct. For example a resistor behaves quiet different from an incandescent light, or motor or transformer. Usually anything with a power factor of 1 is the same as a resistor.
Oh wow when the fine thoughful drivers with their incredibly loud sound systems want to graciously share their thumping bass with me, I can return the favor with this!

No seriously your channels looks pretty cool
You have me feeling like I am missing something special in my life. I have an inquisitive mind but my father wasn't much of an encourageable personality. Would never blame him on how I ended up, I was never that disciplined. Your demeanor, your patience, the depth of your knowledge and even your voice. Well , with someone like you around who knows what could have become of me. Needless to say , you are amazing. Not that you are old, you do kinda remind me of my grandfather, whom past away when I was 5.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You continue to amaze me with the plethora of knowledge that you have. Not just general knowledge, but detailed technical knowledge. And you have a way of explaining it that makes it easy for us common folk to understand. I know there's been some speculation on what your career might be, and you almost denied one profession that I am aware of. But to think you would not be involved in higher education in some form or fashion is a stretch. You are so comfortable explaining things, and doing so without a cue card or anything. You're also able to nail segways and move through the important points you want to cover, again without cue cards or notes. I continued to be amazed and I love this channel. I have told numerous people about it and made some of them watch all or part of one of your videos (whether they wanted to or not). Please keep publishing the videos, this is one area of my life that continues to challenge and exercise my brain, and I love it!!! Thank you for all you do, I know the time spent preproduction and postproduction for a video is about 10-15 times longer than the video, so I know its a lot of work. Please know that work is equally appreciated!!!
Thanks!
I never actually denied anything. Watch that video again and you might figure it out.
In 1990 I put together a Kicker sub with two upward firing 2x6 cone tweeters and didn’t understand why they would drive me out of the cab of my pick up truck. They were so loud that I eventually put socks in the to calm them down. I didn’t understand that audio lesson until I watched your video. I used crossovers and everything. Now I know. Thank you!
No problem, you're welcome!
It would be super cool to have some video explaining your background and how did you get to the level of knowledge you have now. I understand that you might want to keep it about your work and not about your person, but I believe that showing your journey might inspire some people to pursue engineering careers and help them in their journeys :)

"THE AUDIENCE IS NOW DEAF!"
Having once taken apart a megaphone similar to the Pyle megaphone you showed at 17:00 the driver is actually in the back of the horn. It's folded twice, with an inner 1st horn hidden underneath the 2nd horn, which is then reflected out to the primary horn.
I mounted a 1/4" tube fitting to the end of the megaphone driver I disassembled and turned it into a very effective talkbox.
Another potentially dry topic, made extremely interesting and informative... wonderful demonstration, yet again.
Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!

One minor note about phased arrays and why you wouldn't want one for an LRAD is that when you try to steer a beam off of the normal to the plane, you get an angular dependence. Since the LRAD uses a chirp, this would result in a sweep of the beam if you tried to steer it electronically. This is my favorite youtube channel and by far the most informative/educational. Thank you for all of your effort.
Correct.
I am an electronics technician, and in my younger days I used to build high power amplifiers (using MOSFETs). I also used t build speaker baffles, however this video has highlited many void points. Thanks!
Thank you for this video. I am building one for my neighbors that like to party until 5am.
Mine go till 2.30. But the subwoofer is the real enemy.
So did you build one?
I'm not even a hobbyist, but I like to understand what people are talking about, and I like to understand things like this. I appreciated very much the impedance matching description, totally get it. I also really liked the illustration of constructive and destructive interference of sound waves. I had a gentleman probably 20 years ago draw a very similar diagram explaining to me how noise cancellation worked. It was brand new back then.

Thank you for the LRAD explanation. My company makes piezoelectric speakers (formerly Motorola/CTS product line) used in array applications.

Tech Ingredients, simply one of the best channels on TH-cam. On this one, I found the physics of wave reinforcement and sweeping frequencies to form continuously variable peaks fascinating. The reverse shield to focus reflected LRAD emissions back to the source was also very cool!
Kudos!
Just thanks for all that nice content! Carry on! And I really love that you folks always tell about the price of stuff. Some youtube channels play with insanely expensive stuff, but get sponsored. So it's really great to know, those things are affordable too.

As I've said before engineering is the art of compromise and if you don't know the numbers, you don't know anything.
Cost matters...
Thank you so much for making physics understandable and even fun! Sonics and acoustics are of interest to me as a musician. I just did an experiment where I found that playing a sine wave at 1000 Hz was different than a chirp from 400 Hz to 2000 Hz. I noticed it was louder towards the high end. In fact, to me here, 1900 Hz is louder than 2000 Hz, by a noticeable amount. I haven't liked learning this much since I discovered the work of Julius Sumner Miller.
Love it! You are one helluva communicator! My kid used to love her science classes -- then she moved on to a teacher who hardly involved the class in labs, and she grew weary of science. Fortunately, I am a bit of a mad scientist myself, and love to run my own experiments, and I think, slowly but surely, she's starting to rediscover the wonder of the physical world we live in!

Solid factual information being delivered by a man who can show us how things work......Coolness personified! Information is the most interesting thing in the world and popular entertainment is polluting the field.
Excellent explanation of sound properties and speakers. LRAD started in the same building with the company I was working for in early 2000 in San Diego. We were developing sonar systems for Navy and they were developing speaker systems when they came upon the technology which I believe was developed by either a college professor or a small company. There were other players developing the technology but LRAD obviously did a better job of marketing their technology.
I really like your use of metaphors, you did a very good job explaining this. "Enthusiastic outdoor activities" was my favorite. 😂🤘

Great stuff!
Im a big car audio guy and really enjoyed this. Im a big Orion fan also. I would like to clarify a couple comments. First Orion does make higher quality equipment. The cobalt amplifier used here is their lower to mid tier. They have 4 product lines and its the second on the list, the drivers are from one of the higher lines though. Second there is no video in existence that will show the cobalt amp being used here doing anywhere remotely close to 6000w or even 4500w. In reality it will do around 600w rms and maybe 1000w peak, it only has 60 amps of fusing. Many companies over rate their amplifiers and sadly Orion is one of them. They only do it with their lower quality stuff though. Its basically just to appeal to the masses. Their high quality amps are actually overrated, like most other high quality amps are. Also those drivers are rated at a "real" 300w rms and he has them wired @4ohms stereo so they are only getting half of the 600ish watts the amp is capable of. And the drivers are only getting about a quarter of their rms power and as a result they are producing alot less output than they are capable of.
What AMP and config would you recommend?
@@MemeScreen If you wanted to stick with orion this amp would be a much better choice. And its basically the same price ($107) You would be getting triple the power he is at 900w rms. You would wire the amp at 4ohm stereo (like he has it) but you would be bridging two channels of the amp on each set (its a 4ch amplifier and his was a 2ch). www.ebay.com/itm/Orion-CBT35004-Cobalt-4-Channel-Amplifier-3500-Watts-Max/333693285505?epid=21040375480&hash=item4db1ab7481:g:R~cAAOSwJsVfPwpt
@@rdooski Thanks for the feedback. It seems like they stopped making the Orion XDK04.2AS driver though. So now the price has gone up by half. :(
@@MemeScreen You're welcome. They do still make them and the current price seems normal. Orions xtr and hcca gear is pretty scarce even though its still in production. Im not sure where he managed to get a 4 pack at $90 each. He could easily be mistaken on the price or may have got them used. $150+ new is typical for a driver of that caliber. If you were looking for a more affordable alternative I would go with these. The setup would still be significantly louder than his since he is running so underpowered on his drivers. www.ebay.com/itm/4-DS18-PRO-DKH1-2-VC-Compression-Driver-Horn-640W-8-ohm-Super-Tweeter-Speaker/262678944556?epid=7032171069&hash=item3d28e29b2c:g:o-4AAOSwA1tfjtxY

(often step by step & utilizing various methodologies, describing the pros and cons of each method as he goes.) He's been making videos covering many different areas of scientific interest for quite a few years. He's considered ,by many, to be a prominent authority on graphene and graphetized carbons & has quite an impressive list of academic and professional credentials. (He's just very down to earth & doesn't like to brag about his accomplishments, but they are certainly there and verifiable , should one care to check.) If you appreciate Tech Ingredient's ch.

Dude first time viewer of the channel and I must say you are amazingly awesome at taking a highly technical answer and organizing it in a series of micro explanations that are simple to understand thus letting them really sink the subject into the brain. You also have the marvelous ability to make the explained micro answers happen in the correct order as to eliminate confusion of the total picture. Kudos sir this 30 year old young buck is now building 6 LRAD units it looks like and only doing so due to your amazing ability to create killer content that makes sense of a subject I knew "none-ya" on 20 mins ago so keep it up please your great for it
This is fascinating. I thought LRAD was this extremely complex system with computers and special materials. This reminds me of an "ultrasonic gun" my father built with a very small horn speaker a little transistor amplifier, and a high-frequency oscillator. He mounted all of it in a plastic pitcher, like you'd use for juice or lemonade, but with a lid. He mounted the horn to the lid, attached the circuitry to plastic rails he glued into it, added what at the time was a large power pack with C-cell batteries, and filled the rest of the empty space in the thing with insulation to damp the sound coming back at the user. The frequency was pretty high -- I could just hear the bottom edge of it, but all he perceived from it was a beam of pain. It worked like gangbusters on stray or feral dogs, some of which ran in small packs in our neighborhood. He'd wave this thing at them and they'd run the other way, howling.
About 15-18 years ago, a guy invented a device that would "beam" sound into your head. You'd hear it, but a person right next to you wouldn't. It was designed for focused communication -- the inventor's example was a "shelf talker" device in a supermarket or department store, that would emit a beam of sound that generally would not be heard, but if you intersected it, a short message about that particular product was "spoken" into your head. There was some other talk about it, and I wish I could remember the name of the company the guy started. I was tempted to put some money into stock from that company for my 401K, but I'm not very knowledgeable about stocks, so I dithered on the subject. By the time I'd decided to do it, the company had pretty much vanished, POOF! Turns out they were acquired by a government contractor with military contracts through the DoD under DARPA. A few years later, LRAD popped up on the radar.
Seeing that these devices aren't terribly complicated or expensive, I'm seriously considering mounting a couple on my house's roof, to keep unwanted visitors in large groups from getting too close to my house. It would also give me the ability to talk to them without using phones to call or text back and forth. Add some hefty stepper motors and a gear train, and you could aim the thing remotely. Add a goodly-sized LiFePO4 battery pack, a BMS and a small solar panel, and it could easily operate even if power was cut.
Per the Non-Aggression Principle, it would of course only be deployed where violence had already been offered, to defend against such violence. I like the idea of being able to back up a request that such persons leave my property with an effective deterrent.

I woke up this morning and found this, I need practice on volts/watts/amps/ohms, keep teaching us.
I need to borrow that and use it on my neighbor barking dog. nice video, I wish I had a science teacher like you. my future may have been different.
That's exactly my thought. I'd like to use a shotgun mic and LRAD to play the dogs barking back to themselves, with something like a 0.5 second delay. Problem is I'd like it to be focused enough not to affect the neighbors that are about 40 degrees to one side. With barking being at a much lower frequency, I'm not sure this can be solved for a reasonable about of money.

Then move to multiple targets with oscillating frequencies. Might be a good collaboration with Stuff Made Here.

If you think Trump is a racist, you should watch this video. www.c-span.org/video/?c4902129/user-clip-herschel-walker There are many Black people who have made similar testaments.
BLM and Antifa are both Marxist organizations with the great goals of creating chaos and implementing a socialist/communist regime like the failed governments of Venezuela and Cuba. You don't see masses of people walking thousands of miles or getting into small boats to flee the USA and go there. Here is a gentleman who tell the story of his family fleeing the Spanish socialist revolution and later the rise of Castro in Cuba. www.c-span.org/video/?c4901970/user-clip-important-speaker-rnc
BLM and Antifa are, in fact, the fascists, rioting, looting, burning, and attacking innocent people. There are lots of videos to support this. Heck, there was a group that was live streaming from Portland and Seattle. One could see it live and unfiltered.
It is you that needs to open your eyes and climb out of your ideology.
"Ohmage", an homage to Georg Ohm!
Actually ohmage is very technically correct. For example a resistor behaves quiet different from an incandescent light, or motor or transformer. Usually anything with a power factor of 1 is the same as a resistor.

Sweet Ohm Alabama
Haha
Resistance, ohmage, impedance.
.
I need a resistor resistant enough to resist this resistance.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is the cool dad every boy wishes he had and every dad wishes he could be.
I don't know why I never set the bell to notify me of new videos, but I have some months of videos to watch and this one is amazing!
Oh wow when the fine thoughful drivers with their incredibly loud sound systems want to graciously share their thumping bass with me, I can return the favor with this!
Beethoven or Wagner?
@@ReinoGoo Why not both?
@@Cautionary_Tale_Harris at the same time.
@@rre9121 I like your style.
In the race to become the biggest asshole on the road, we have introduced a policy of MAD, or Mutual Acoustic Destruction.
This is a great video! I will say though, anything made by Orion is great gear. Their HCCA subwoofer drivers are legendary. :)
When you spoke about Amps, Ohms, and Voltages, I started getting flashbacks to physics class in High School. Then my buddies and I rewiring our car sound systems to make them more powerful. Our teachers both loved and hated us.
I do not believe anyone could have explained this better. Thank you
I always look forward to your videos. I know I will learn something. Your work is very high quality. Your explanation is thorough and demonstrates profound research and knowledge. I wish my physics lecturers were as good at explaining as you are....and as knowledgeable too. Keep up the great work. Thank you for the work you do.
Thanks for the info! Playing my music way too loud seemed like the most effective way to irritate my neighbors, but this blows that out of the water!
On the flip side, I want one to deter mine which blast their music at 3am.
