Check the vid at the link.



On edit: Oh, duh. I can totally embed the vid, man.

1. Oh yeah, I've seen that effect before...

'Course it's usually about two in the morning, right after the last round.

Very cool, thanks for sharing the gif.

2. Mesmerizing...

I couldn't take my eyes off of the dancing water....

3. ...so...

if our bodies are composed of >90% water... and we are exposed to those waves.... do our cells all get up and do a jig?

Sound medicine indeed?

BTW, note that the image has to be shot at the same framerate.

4. I wonder if the vinyl hose was kept stationary would it still have the same effect.

8. No, because it is the movement of the tube that is making the pattern.

So the speaker cone is just moving the hose back and forth but is a precise fashion and the camera is synced to the frequency. A neat trick, but not as complicated as the film makers would have us believe. Makes for some real cool vid.

5. WITCHCRAFT!!!!!

6. I have a lot of experience

with sine waves and fluids....mainly ink with water as the carrier for the pigment.

We typically used piezo electric crystals across a resonator got get the droplets to break off, then we could control each of the droplets across 240 x 480 dpi and either have them hit the paper or be attracted (we charged them across gold leads) to a big negative and go back into a loop to be re-used.

Pretty cool stuff, I done a lot of lab time in 8 years and applied a lot of different frequencies to fluids. I seriously think the studies we done for 20+ years to come up with a product was amazing....I think we could have put a man on the moon easier!

Cool stuff, keep up with your research!

7. More what happens when you film it at 24 frames a second.

Still, pretty darn cool!

I wonder what 18Hz at 24fps would look like.
