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!

Thank you!

Will check up on it and post back here.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
