Rijke tube termacoustic sound generator

[jazzlin88]

do you need special material for the heater?

[fixxerdh]

convection flow makes white noise in tube, and mesh mounted inside "choose" one frequency and gain it up, i think

[ard5608]

how do you hold the heater in place??

plz respond

the quartz is vibrating the air around it.....the glass tube is picking up the vibrations and turning them into sound.....simple

@29379. Lord Rayleigh explained how this works in 1878.

I want to make one myself any suggestions how i should get the gauze in?

[macrumpton]

is the tube open on both ends?

[sifun095]

Yes, both ends open. Normal convection flow needed for work.

[sifun095]

Nobody knows how it works. But it is easy to build!

Simply place a heater in 1/4 from bottom of tube.

And "POWER UP"!
