HDD Speaker

[Jon00005]

does the disk need to be spinning?

[blackbird309]

THAT TASKBAR IS AS BIG AS MY PENIS

[thedarkone2134]

@blackbird309 Cool story, bro.

[TTerboLasers]

what song is that!!!!!!!

[BamOida1986]

der Bass kommt voll gut wie geht den das???

[YTBYTBTB]

O.O awesome

[stefandenholander]

waarom heb je die metalen schijf weg gehaalt

[Engineer9736]

Omdat het kan ;) Beetje rond zitten kijken in die hardeschijf alvorens ik dit ervan maakte. Het weghalen van die platters heeft dus verder niet een bepaald nut t.b.v een hdd speaker :-).

[AlbertX78]

what name of this song??

[jrigvd]

Ali B. - Rampeneren

[AlbertX78]

Thanks so much! :D

[VALKIR4636]

what's the song???"????

[cheetawolf]

0:01 ot 0:18, the beeping sounds like a broken hdd LOL

[gfyhdhbyhgj]

Fuck. I just BROKE the R/W r ea d and solded the wires and worked.

[lolbroek0317]

en jij doet mee op jouw manier:P

We beuke door je speakers WHAHA

(they rap it like that in the song:D)

peace...

[Engineer9736]

we beuken door je hardeschijf ;)

[lolbroek0317]

van je hardeschijfxD

[wrahrare]

LOL UGLY TASKBAR!

[NivekInc]

i know, i hate when i have to go more than one row up. i have to use that at school to hold all the quickstart items without having the expand button (this is to the left of task items, not by time). Really makes me mad (they don't even put the xp start menu in the middle!!)

Oh, and awsome speaker. i would do that with mine, but i would want one that's broken first (or less than what i have)

[sllide]

@wrahrare who the fuck cares? :)

[RyuDarragh]

All modern HDDs use a "Voice Coil" head positioning system.. think about.. they call it a "Voice Coil" ? Bwahahaha.. well, what these lads have done is wire the voice coil itself to a speaker driving audio amp.

[Dipsetup]

why shut you do this i think a hardisk is better to stash files on :P

[markwiebe99]

because you can brag to all your freinds and it is something you can do with a dead hard drive

[Dipsetup]

oke iff you guys get happy by doing this Go on! :)

[afterburn13]

if u got a 3.6 gb hard drive ? :S

[DutchDuke01]

i dont get that reaction... :P

[afterburn13]

then its useless as a harddrive, so u can use it as a speaker :P

[DutchDuke01]

oke now i get it hihi

[LOOPKOOL205]

is that a real hard drive??? if it is daaaaaaam its awsome!!

[CorrosiveSubstances]

It's real, I've done it myself. Until the drive heads on my HDDs got fubard. Not nearly as nifty w/o movement :(

If you're handy with a soldering iron, just grab an amplifier IC from an electronics shop, one w/ a decent amp rating.

[phantomblue18]

Fake you cant get bass from that

[Erchus91]

nice and simple!!!

[ensenhest]

oh my billy, i sure do wonder where the BASE sound comes from

[NamesROverated]

another REALLY BIG hardrive. :p

[SmashCOBamberg]

that´s fucking awesome!!! O_o

[SmashCOBamberg]

yeah! It rocks... uh... I mean you rock... I mean u and the harddrive rock :-)

[Live1052]

Now where's that old scsi drive I was going to chuck out?? :D

[JustBeingKids]

thatz cool

[Nlelmo]

Whahah Echt supervet!!! Heb nog wel een zooitje oude schijven liggen! SLOPEN!!! :D:D:D

[friik100]

hooly crap!!!

[haloded]

omg vool

[haloded]

i mean cool XD

[masterpj55]

how do i find the voice coil?

[iggunr]

try to follow the little cables that exit from the coil. its very dificult :(

[nzc405]

i got it thanks

now go for my laser hd music :]

sorry for my ingles

[nzc405]

en donde conectas el audio?

[Engineer9736]

usted tiene que encontrar las dos conexiones de la bobina de voz (la cosa coloreada de cobre). Usted puede poner la salida de un amplificador. (Apesadumbrado para el español del babelfish)

[5687678]

Catchy song what's the name of it?

[Engineer9736]

Ali B - Rampeneren

[alamogeil]

lol

[asaultman67]

basically, there is a Inductor (bascially a wire coil of some sort) on the arm that generates a magnetic feild ... when coupled with a powerful magnet, the inductor repels or attracts it ... causing movement ... which causes noise ...

I tried this out ... it was fun for a few minutes ... then i got bored so attached it to an amp and blew the coil :o)

[Youpuber]

It's a Dutch song called 'Rampeneren' made by 'Partysquad'

[cotton509]

did it

myn tried to comic suicide my movinng to the point a par tflew at me

[XZXTHELEGENDXZX]

lol hahahs

[sander407]

goed gemaakt man echt top maar wtf is dat witte ding op je speaker

[uskmunder]

helps make even more sound or else it sounds small

[sander407]

partysquad-rampeneren

[tonygohil]

WICH SONG IS THIS?

[Soulrocker1990]

can you send me a link how I can see wat I should haf to do

[SwisssBoIIa]

"No other speakers are used"...

It's impossible. There is surely a woofer or a subwoofer

[AROAH1337]

You apparently haven't seen the hundreds of other HDD speaker videos on Youtube.

[SwisssBolla]

Actually, I have seen some. But in this video you can hear strong bass, what I mean is how could this low frequency sounds come from such a little speaker?

[DnaX88]

With HDD heads I can hear low-frequency, but with equalizer is better...

[uskmunder]

the cone on top acts like a speaker cone allowing lots of noise

[halladere]

What was the name of that song?

[ATIst87]

i built a speaker like this too and i can promise it works ;)

[asaultman67]

oh, i think this is real ... not saying its fake :o)

[ttfleury]

ok how is that done...

[keeblerelfmatt]

This is the pimpest harddrive I've ever seen!

[Soulsgod]

My Harddrive speaker works but it really doesnt move that far. And it's amplified a little. 1cm is about how far the hdd reader will go. But it still works fine. Great video!

[uskmunder]

should try 40 watts but be careful. when tried it started to burn the plastic and made a sick smell

[PackratCND]

They don't call it a "Voice Coil Drive" for nothing !

[danieladamko]

wow, the sound has bass?

[alexcanadair]

come si chiama il titolo di questa canzone che sento nel hard disk perfavore rispondetemi se sapete qual'cosa

grazie.

[SgtSavage166]

I should really do this, I have tons of dead hdds laying around

[raidmaxi]

what is the name of the song that are played? it`s awesome:)

[mikebosma]

the name of the song is rampeneren.

it's dutch.

[MajOwnage]

That is so awesome.

[Siinergyy]

What song is that please tell me.

[kuenicool]

It´s great! i´ve try something like this too and it works! But, witch song do you unsed for this video?

[Dranod]

I have to try this one, I have a dozen or so spare hard drives around.

[panam3ra]

lol :))

[rbrownrbrown7]

That's why we call them "voice coil motors"

[djlobb]

Wow, How did you make it produce such low frequencies?? Most HDD Speakers just sound like holding a phone away, really tinny

[captngimpy]

Bull cause the music plays even then the arm stops

[Engineer9736]

If you set the volume of your normal speakers low, can you see thém moving?

The only movement you can see, is caused by low frequenties also known as 'bass'.

[Dranod]

yeah you may find that any video you upload to youtube throws out the audio sync on the video.

[ChaosNinja00]

No it's not, there are so many videos of this and I've done it myself. Why don't you go try it for yourself.

[asaultman67]

It amazes me how many people can't distinguish reality from something that is fake and vice versa :|

[Soulsgod]

This is so real. you already know like anyone else that pretty much all you need is magnets to push the copper and copper to produce the sound really anyone would know that. so that just proved you wrong. feel stupid getting out smarted by a 10 year old? :)

[asaultman67]

O_o ... i was surprized by the amount of people who thought this was fake >_> check the comment above this one ... 10 year olds are so cocky :o) :P ...

[wooferfreak]

U Know u were 10 years old at one time

[asaultman67]

Yeah, and i was cocky :o) lol ...

[Engineer9736]

Ik heb wel nog een klein magneetje eruit gesloopt met een tang, om te voorkomen dat hij in de landing zone terecht komt als je het volume iets te hard zet. Maar daar kom je vanzelf wel achter nadat je het geprobeerd hebt. De afdekplaat van de magneet eraf halen heeft ook een positief resultaat op het volume trouwens.

[Engineer9736]

Als je een harde schijf open sloopt zie je de leeskop zitten. Achterop de leeskop zit een spoel, voice coil genaamd. Zoek van deze spoel de 2 draadjes, het beste is om ze helemaal te volgen, over de flatcable naar de externe aansluiting die onder de print van de harde schijf zit. Op die manier belemmer je de bewegings vrijheid niet van de leeskop. Als je op deze 2 aansluitingen een luidsprekerbox signaal zet, zal de leeskop als speaker fungeren.

[purposemaker2000]

Cool! How does it work??

[Darkbrownie]

That is cool.

[n00bje]

Kun je misschien wat duidelijker zijn over hoe je dit gedaan hebt?

[Spinal83]

I don't get it... what exactly what are you doing here?
