  2. Thermoacoustic heat engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoacoustic_heat_engine

    The system has slight theoretical advantages over other generator systems like existing thermocouple based systems, or a proposed Stirling engine used in ASRG prototype. [10] SoundEnergy developed the THEAC system that turns heat, typically waste heat or solar heat into cooling with no other power source. The device uses argon gas. The device ...

    An NYPD LRAD on top of a police humvee An LRAD operator wearing hearing protection LRAD on a navy ship. A long-range acoustic device (LRAD), acoustic hailing device (AHD) or sound cannon is a specialized loudspeaker that produces sound at high power for communicating at a distance.

  4. Boeing X-50 Dragonfly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_X-50_Dragonfly

    The Boeing X-50A Dragonfly, formerly known as the Canard Rotor/Wing Demonstrator, was a VTOL rotor wing experimental unmanned aerial vehicle that was developed by Boeing and DARPA to demonstrate the principle that a helicopter's rotor could be stopped in flight and act as a fixed wing, enabling it to transition between fixed-wing and rotary-wing flight.

  5. Passive radiator (speaker) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_radiator_(speaker)

    The middle speaker is a real loudspeaker. The top and bottom cones are passive radiators. In the same way as a ported loudspeaker, a passive radiator system uses the sound pressure otherwise trapped in the enclosure to excite a resonance that makes it easier for the speaker system to create the deepest pitches (e.g., basslines). The passive ...

  6. Horn loudspeaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horn_loudspeaker

    A horn loudspeaker is a loudspeaker or loudspeaker element which uses an acoustic horn to increase the overall efficiency of the driving element(s). A common form (right) consists of a compression driver which produces sound waves with a small metal diaphragm vibrated by an electromagnet, attached to a horn, a flaring duct to conduct the sound waves to the open air.

  7. Electrical characteristics of dynamic loudspeakers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_characteristics...

    The braking effect is critical to speaker design, in that designers leverage it to ensure the speaker stops making sound quickly and that the coil is in position to reproduce the next sound. The electrical signal generated by the coil travels back along the speaker cable to the amplifier.

  8. Sound generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_generator

    A sound generator is a vibrating object which produces a sound. There are two main kinds of sound generators (thus, two main kinds of musical instruments).. A full cycle of a sound wave will be described in each example which consists of initial normal conditions (no fluctuations in atmospheric pressure), an increase of air pressure, a subsequent decrease in air pressure which brings it back ...

  9. General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Atomics_MQ-9_Reaper

    The General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper (sometimes called Predator B) is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV, one component of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS)) capable of remotely controlled or autonomous flight operations, developed by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI) primarily for the United States Air Force (USAF).
