AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a proposed device that uses ultrasonic sound emitters to allow only one person to hear spoken words directed towards them. The concept involves an oval disk that surrounds the speaker's lips, aiming to confine sound waves effectively. Participants question the practicality of such a device, considering its complexity and potential applications. The idea draws on principles of directed sound, suggesting that further refinement is necessary for functionality. Overall, the feasibility and usefulness of the device remain uncertain.

My friend and i were discussing this device with which inly one person can hear what you say. It doesn't have much practical application, but still: we have a device, an oval disk or something which surrounds your lips but doesn't cover your mouth, and we place ultrasonic sound emitters on it. You then point your mouth to someone's ear, and then speak, then would it happen that only one person hears what you say? Would the ultrasonic waves confine the sound waves you emit? And would this have any practical application?

i know the drawings are horrible.

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
