Thank you for the information Mr.Waters. I contacted Home Depot, and they didn't have it, telling me they couldn't think of any business that did. However, I checked with an auto shop near my house and fortunately he has one! Now i can remove the glue i used to hold the cake-pans together, braze...

ooh i understand now. Thank you for the idea :) I'll let you guys know how it goes

Thanks for the help Sophie, that sounds like a great idea. How would i go about tapping the thread on the ends of the rod though?

With everyones help, I was able to get the rod heights and set the resonator up.( I glued the two pieces together because a special type of welding torch was required, and my school did not have it). With the rods, however, I was told that they couldn't weld it on, and since it is a different...

Thank you taking the time to comment Mr. Waters and as Stonebridge said, you have created a fascinating instrument. I will call my partner and tell him to replace the pans today. I think I will set the rods up the way you suggested Stonebridge. The reason i was looking for a formula was because...

Thanks for the replys waterphoneman, or Mr. Richard Water ? :O. I have taken your suggestion on the type of metal to use, and have switched the rods with Stainless steel. As for your last post, would you agree that if I were to not introduce the water initially, as to show the teacher that I...

The computation that you have shown gives the right digits, but It is the units that I am worried about. If L^2 were to be 0.28m , than wouldn't L be 0.52sqrt(m) ? Same thing happens with the remaining part, Where the Pa and the kg/m^3 don't really cancel each-other out.

Thank you for the help sophie :) I'll give that a try ounce i get everything together. Thanks for all the assistance Stonebridge. The way to make notes, as you have outlined makes perfect sense. When I used the formula to try to replicate your answer, I ended up with the unit...

Hello Stonebridge and thanks for the warm welcome. I was so focused on the textbook i would have never thought that the rods could be solid. As you have mentioned, because the hollow rods would produce additional frequencies, For the sake of simplicity, and the fact that my teacher requires the...

Hello everyone. I am currently a grade 11 High-School student and have embarked on making the Waterphone() for my musical instrument project. Fortunately, I have stumbled upon this how-to for something to start on http://www.em411.com/show/blog/7895/0/DIY_Waterphone.html . I will make it look...
