very interesting note - i can assume experimenting with human bodies is a bit... forbidden, yet fascinating to investigate ;o)

thank you for sharing this! fascinating

hope you find the time to answer my questions;
1)what is the upper limits of weight you were able to levitate?
2)what role does the closeness of the walls play, and what would happen if the box was 3 feet, would you just need louder sound?
3)what effect if any, would adding another speaker to the fourth wall have?
4) what is your hones opinion of that "african shaman performing levitation" in the related videos in the sidebar?

thank you for your time!
