Thats some cool software and synthesizer. I'm sure I could do it iwh my synth too but finding the frequency maybe tricky. I think I could get close enough by ear and then fine tune it, it has several oscillators, and my amps should be more than loud enough. It might be more cool to see if I can do it my guitar. Is there enough sustain? I'm not sure the the guitar has the right range I think it's a bit lower than this even at it's high notes.
also its Brandon that made that comment... Jermazoid is my friend he was on my computer earlier and i didn't realize i was logged in as him. Sorry for the confusion
I wonder if there is mathematically quantifiable correlation between the volume of the glass, it's thickness, and it's shape as three separate variables that determine invariably the resonating frequency! so like (VTS-->Hz) From what I know, sound is generally logarithmic in nature, so perhaps logarithms would be in the equation as well as trigometric functions. Atmospheric pressure could affect the frequency as well, but I doubt it would be significant. Hopefully this provokes some thought...
@BrandonShayMusic Good questions. I wonder also the weight or density of the crystal must be a very imporatant variable. I wonder if it's generally true as it seems the more glass/ crystal weight and size the lower the pitch and resonance will be. Large crystal bowls have a deep low note and a small glass a high note.

You guys need to take this knowledge and use it towards a hydrogen fuel cell. This is how the water is fractured to create the good HHO!! Good luck and thanks.
I don't know what the exact amplitude was; the program I used didn't measure that correctly. The straw bouncing around means that you're very close to the resonant frequency, but not necessarily exact. I suggest you try doing a range of frequencies, started at about 5 hz below your current frequency, to 5 hz above it. I suggest you wear earplugs, then turn up the volume to the point where anyone not wearing earplugs would plug their ears. I believe around 90 decibels should work.
MMM guy can you tell me the frequentie u used to acctualy break the glass, cuz we are trieing it at our school, but we haven't found the right Hz yet, so can you tell it? =) would be nice =)
Every class has a different resonance frequency, the glasses that I used varied between 590 and 640 Hz. However, another glass we tried broke at around 1000 Hz.
I already said, I used MatLab. The code was written just for this project, so I doubt easily it's available. The important part of the program was doing a Fourier Transform on the recorded audio. You just need a program to do that. I don't know of any that easily do it, though.

HOW LOUD DID YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE FREQUENCY FOR IT TO BREAK? (decibels please. Oh and sorry for screaming at you, but i got your attention!)

It's an E-Flat!! Yay for perfect pitch!! :D Lol. But the glass broke when they played a D...

You can't break a glass with just 90 dB. You need at least 120.

what was the amplitude you used because we are trying to de the experiment too but it failed so could you send me the way it must be done please
we have the right frequency and we saw the straw trmebling but we cant break the glass coukd you please help

It's not something that's easily available, it's a script written by my dad in MatLab, which is a $3000 program.
