Harddrive Speakers

A friend here at CMU actually took 3 broken hard drives and got them to spin at certain frequencies outputed by his computer. So in the end, three harddrives are actually now speakers! There are videos and a few pictures with explanations onto how he did this wonderous thing."

    Well. You do realize that regular speakers only work by vibration, don't you? You get sound out of these the same way you get sound out of single speaker cones, by moving them through each individual sound wave.
