Slashdot Mirror
World's Most Powerful Subwoofer
dponce80 writes "This $13,000 subwoofer, the TRW 17 from Eminent Technology is billed as the world's most powerful due to its ability to reproduce sounds with frequencies as low as 1Hz. Typical subwoofers bottom out at 20Hz, and while the human ear can barely hear below that point, it is still possible to feel the sound. This particular woofer does not have an enclosure, instead relying on a fan-like design, wafting a cone of modulated air into the room, and effectively turning it into a resonating box, in its entirety!"
COULD YOU REPEAT THAT?

Can it blow a woman's clothing off?

Quick, someone tell Howard Stern, so he can reenact that scene in "Private Parts" where he told that lady to sit on the subwoofer.

The glass is half-full. With poison. And there are cracks in the glass. The dirty, dirty glass.
Excuse me whilst I wipe the tears from my eyes.
Wait - those aren't tears! That's not my eye!
This reminds me of a classic Stan Freberg skit - one of the "Herman Horne does Hi Fi" - where he lampoons Hi Fi hobbyists of the 50's - he's just described a full on sound system, but without speakers:
:)
Interviewer: But what about the speakers?
Horne: The whole house becomes a speaker, you move into the garage!
(snip a few lines)
Horne: As you and your wife sit of an evening, shivering in your garage....
Brilliant stuff - if you've never heard Freberg's "Herman Horne" skits, you absolutely HAVE to get them - it fits so well with modern hobyists/geeks/obsessive types:
Horne: They can sit there and watch their husband suffer with old equipment that has been obsolete for at least a week!
I left my body to science, but I'm afraid they've turned it down...
...but we get a subwoofer that can shake your fillings out. Sigh. On the up-side, I'm sure I'll get a chance to report back to Slashdot as to what one of these things feel like once my college-age (and apparently half-deaf) neighbours procure one and do their damndest to shake apart this poorly-built condo complex.
In a world without walls, there is no need for Windows.
Imagine a Beowoofer Cluster of these!

Yeah, whatever happened to ABBA?

The real question is...
Can it make someone blow you?

No Idea but this is somewhat unsettling.
Very few things can make google go offline for that long.
I'm trying to find out whether there has been some major catastrophe that brought google down, but I CAN'T because google news is down.
It won't make you deaf, it will simply rattle your colon and make you poop.
The bass actually emits from sophisticated organic poo resonance.
I won't bore you with the details. It's technical. It uses a lot of molecules, crystals, and beams and stuff.

I have built a woofer that produces sound at zero hertz! It operates on very little power, too.
...do you get a subwoofer?
Well, I think it's OBVIOUS! It's SOUND!
The sound goes in the ear and discharges your shit in your pants.
This thing will make a difference, but only if powered by an amp that goes at least to 11.
...if it goes up to 11.
