Great tips! I came across a connection diagram for an old style telephone earpiece, now that you mention it. Will definitively look into that! thanks!

Hi and thank you for your interest in my project! I am aware of all the facts you mentioned above, although I am not experienced in electronics, I have worked as audio engineer for more than 10 years. Electronics are not my strength, but I certainly know how to connect devices and power things...

Hi, and thank you for your reply! I do have the tuning forks, but no, they are not ferromagnetic. I was expecting to induce some charge to the coil by connecting it to a power source. Does this make any sense at all?

WOW dlgoff this is AMAZING! Thanks a lot! And what an important piece of history you have with you! Sharing is caring, thank youuu :smile::smile::smile:

Yes it is coming up to be a really fun thing to do! :-pI am afraid we do not want to use amplification since it is an sound art piece, it would ruin the "experience." Do you believe using more than 1 Watt is possible? How about the relation between the number of turns of the electromagnet and...

I lived in Nashville for 3 years, quite a legend he is! ;)

Hello all! Inspired by the Helmholtz synthesizer, I am experimenting with electromagnetic excitation and tuning forks. http://www.sites.hps.cam.ac.uk/whipple/explore/acoustics/hermanvonhelmholtz/helmholtzssynthesizer/ How can I determine the size and charge of an electromagnet in order to...

:biggrin: Will do for sure!

Thanks!

Hey all! I am experimenting for a sound art project with tuning forks and resonance boxes. I have a complementary question to this thread: If I have a resonance box specific for 1/4 λ of a given frequency of a tuning fork, can I add several tuning forks (all the same size and freq)?

I can help out with any audio engineering questions regarding: recording, analog and digital audio, gear, etc! They all have physics involved, one way or the other!

Hello all! I am an audio engineer with a lot of questions about acoustics and physics! I would appreciate all the help I can get! Feel free to ask me anything you need regarding audio and music! Cheers!
