Bear psychokinesis!
While Rachel’s away, the boys have been at play. I’ve been testing the limits of my new sound system made by Sony. I believe that they have incorporated a new technology into the system known as an Acoustic Levitation and Positioning Device, tested by NASA in the early 1990s, on blocks of stone or similar materials.
I was searching for a test device and found….errmmm, Timbo. The result?
Amazing! Nasa explains the phenomenon as follows (from their patent, in 1991):
“An acoustic levitator includes a pair of opposed sound sources which have interfering sound waves producing acoustic energy wells in which an object can be levitated. The phase of one sound source may be changed relative to the other in order to move the object along an axis between the sound sources.”
I could call this a mildy successful experiment, were it not for the neighbours!
Didn’t Timbo do well?! Beat that Big Al! (I understand Big Al is currently sitting on Kim’s bed…boring, boring bear!)
Doug: “So Timbo, what did it feel like?”
Timbo: “Fabulous, man… but what’s with the noise? I’m bear-ly able to hear!”
