Cymatics in chemical production

[Shadow_lawless]

Just beeen reading and watching youtube videos about cymatics, and how sound can force sand on a plate to conform to a specific pattern based on frequency of the sound.

Now I am no expert in chemical production but from what i can remember, sometimes elements are mixed together in high pressure containers and heated in a effort to excite the molecules so they whizz around crashing into each other and with the right amount of heat combine together to make the desired chemicals.

Now i was wondering if using sound you could increase the yield by forcing particles in the reaction to conform to specific patterns or structures effectively holding them in place while the heat works its magic as opposed to letting them whizz around.

again I am no scientist and wouldn't know where to start with experimenting but i'd like to know if any of you think this is possible, or are able to perform such experiments. i.e. starting 2 chemical production reactions, one under normal conditions and another under normal conditions plus a speaker playing different frequecies. then measure the differences in yield.

I should also mention that experiments have been done with cymatics using two different types of sand which resulted in certain frequencies causing the two sands almost pefectly separate and conform to patterns

Hello,

Thank you for bringing up the topic of cymatics and its potential applications in chemical production. I find this idea very intriguing and worth exploring further.

Cymatics, as you mentioned, is the study of how sound waves can affect matter and create visible patterns. This phenomenon has been observed in various materials, including sand, water, and even liquid metal. The idea of using sound to manipulate chemical reactions is not entirely new, and there have been some studies and experiments conducted in this area.

One example is a study published in the journal Angewandte Chemie, where researchers used high-frequency sound waves to control the formation of nanoparticles in a chemical reaction. The results showed that the sound waves could indeed influence the size and shape of the nanoparticles, leading to a more efficient production process.

In another study published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry, researchers used sound waves to control the crystallization of a compound called glycine. They found that certain frequencies of sound could induce a specific crystal structure, which could potentially have implications in drug production and other industries where crystal structure is crucial.

Based on these studies, it is possible that using sound waves in chemical production could increase yield and control the formation of desired products. However, more research and experimentation are needed to fully understand the effects of sound on chemical reactions and to optimize its use in industrial processes.

I agree with your suggestion of conducting experiments to compare the yield of reactions under normal conditions and with the addition of sound waves at different frequencies. This could provide valuable insights into the potential benefits of using sound in chemical production.

In conclusion, while there is evidence to suggest that cymatics could have applications in chemical production, further research is needed to fully explore its potential and optimize its use. Thank you for bringing up this fascinating topic, and I hope to see more studies and experiments in this area in the future.
