hello physicsforum. i came here hopefully someone can answer this.
heres what happend:
i was out suing my camping stove. after i turn it off, and start packing it away, i shone the flashlight onto it and that's when i first discovered that there is a buzzing sound coming from it.
cannot explain how or why the the buzzing sound is being made. i was able to confirm that the buzzing sound is coming from the stove.
when i first discovered the noise, i was shining it under the stove. i went to go look closer and it stopped. tried to make it make the sound again, couldnt. waited a few minutes, then started packing it up again. by this time the stove was cold. i shone the flashlight at the top and it started making the sound again. that's when i recorded it. after i recorded it, i touched the top and it would stop making the sound.
if you are asking, the stove is a:
MSR whisperlite multifuel stove. basically made of stainless steel burning kerosene, so stainless steel covered in carbon
when i first discovered it, the stove was hot, the 2nd time it was cold. the 2nd time i tried it (what you can see in the video) it looks like the sound is coming from the screw in the middle. when i touched it later, i touched it on the side. then it stopped.
the flashlight is a Jetbeam bc25 using a cree XM-L LED
seriously, can anyone figure out why it is making a sound. no one can figure it out.
sorry, I am just trying to be as descriptive as possible.
the video i recorded:
