This a actually happened to a bridge once. The engineers didn’t compensate for the resonate frequency and the bridge literally shook itself to death because the wind just barely matched the frequency
Dude I was actually looking more into this because of that joke hahahaha. Nicola Tesla had a story of how he made an earth quake using a machine. It for sure sounds like a tall tale, but has some truth to it lol
Lmaoooo and Nikola Tesla did that on mistake too but that’s when he discovered the capabilities of resonance which led him on to discover this: “Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower was able to transmit electromagnetic energy at a specific frequency that resonated with the Earth, it created a constructive interference pattern that could amplify telluric currents. By carefully tuning the transmitted frequency and aligning it with the natural frequency of the Earth's crust, Tesla was able to cause the currents to resonate, thereby increasing their amplitude. Tesla then designed a system to capture and convert these amplified telluric currents into usable electrical energy. This involved placing a network of ground-based receivers or electrodes at strategic locations to intercept the amplified currents and channel them into an electrical generator or storage system.” It’s not infinite energy but it’s enough to sustain the worlds energy demands for millions of years like we have that long anyways. but it’s not revealed and the government will never reveal what they have stolen because they don’t want this technology to be known. I’m guessing for its destructive capabilities and what happened in 1908… the Tunguska event. Most people buy the cover story.
I use a 440 hz fork to tune my guitar I strike it on a bone ( usually a knee) and touch it to the guitar body. When the 5th string (A) continues to ring after removing the fork it is tuned properly. I then use harmonics for the other strings.
@@karencarney7595Do you really believe that / have you researched that or is that what somebody told you / have you experienced that yourself / do you avoid most of the music in the world????
This also works with voltage and inductors with electricity. You can change DC to AC. Also, like a guitar string, has a resident frequency at a certain fret on a guitar.
I believe there's a flaw in your explanation. It's not that the box vibrates and therefore the tuning fork matched to the other one starts vibrating. It's the other way around. Because of resonance the matched tuning fork starts vibrating and therefore the box on which it's fixed, starts vibrating too.
No. The first fork is fixed to a wood box that acts like a guitar sound board and directs the sound to another box which in turn makes the tunning fork vibrate too.
You literally do not have to “force” something to vibrate at it’s natural frequency, by definition it will naturally vibrate at that frequency. You prepared for this and yet it’s just not quite right and granted most people will forget but you can really make it difficult on those who are going to progress into engineering when they have to unlearn the wrong terminology.
yes, anything that vibrates will always vibrate at it's natural frequency unless you force it not to and at that point its not really vibrating anymore
But can you extract useable piezoelectricity from the 2nd tuning fork and if so, why not multiple tuning forks in endless arrays by banging on key equidistant tuning forks simultaneously? How many resonantly-tuned forks could sympathetically vibrate for any useful purposes besides taking down a bridge or building or the walls of Jericho?
However far the soundwave can propagate before falling off. These forks were placed so near to one another and atop amplifiers because they create a relatively quiet and high frequency sound, which doesn't travel very far before becoming imperceptible. Lower frequency, higher volume sounds can travel much further, so you could resonate with objects from further away with them. As for the tuning forks, they have little weighted clamps on the tines that can be moved up or down to change the way sound waves move through them.
Hey! I tried this but did not get the results. I made sure to get tuning forks of the same frequency, but it does not work. Is there anything I need to look out for this to properly work? What are the factors that could influence proper resonance?
Can u imagine an indoor basketball court with bonch of these on the floor hitting one to see the reaction while beige in the middle while someone hits it at the edge
He's demonstrating acoustic resonance. Since both vibration at the same frequency the vibration from one migrates over and affects the other. One way to eliminate the transfer of vibration, is to adjust the stiffness (since one of the forks is "adjustable") to where it's frequency response is either higher or lower than 256 hz.
