Ready to try acoustic levitation at home? What equipment do I need?

AI Thread Summary
To start acoustic levitation at home, essential equipment includes ultrasonic transducers, a waveform generator, and an amplifier. Users are advised to research DIY projects for guidance, such as those found on Hackaday and Instructables. Safety precautions are crucial, as high decibel levels can lead to serious injuries. The discussion emphasizes a focus on home tinkering rather than laboratory-grade setups. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences and findings as they experiment with this technology.

Hello everyone,
I would like to start playing around with acoustic levitation.
Apologies if this is the wrong sub-forum... I psoted in General, as I am not sure where the best place would be for this.

My question:
What equipment would be needed to start a simple acoustic levitation?
I have no idea what "transducers" to acquire.
And would I then need a waveform generator?
Anything else?
An amplifier?

I attach an image for reference... that's basically what I'm trying to do.
Nothing laboratory grade... more "home tinknering".

All advice is greatly appreciated!

Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (Second part)'

I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8. I want to understand some issues more correctly. It's a little bit difficult to understand now. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. In the page 196, in the first paragraph, the author argues as follows ...

Thread 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'

Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.
