Construct Lung-Powered Infrasound Didgeridoo Emitter

AI Thread Summary
Constructing a lung-powered infrasound emitter using an elongated didgeridoo is theoretically possible, but challenges exist in determining the sound being produced. Concerns about the potential harm of infrasound to the body are raised, with some suggesting that extreme amplitudes may pose risks, though these claims are often exaggerated. Testing an infrasound sensor does not require audible feedback, allowing for experimentation without the need to hear the notes played. Overall, while the idea is intriguing, further exploration and understanding of infrasound's effects are necessary. The discussion highlights both the feasibility and the safety considerations of such a project.

Love the question! But how would you know what you're playing? And doesn't infrasound harm the body in some way, or is that a myth?

to test an infrasound sensor, I wouldn't need to hear the 'note'.

And I think that it does cause some problems at extreme amplitudes, but in general, those cases are exaggerated. Not sure on this, but that's my overall impression.
 

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
