Use acoustic waves to hold in mid-air samples such as water, ants or tiny electric components. This technology has been previously restricted to a couple of research labs but now you can make it at your home.

Through making your original design I found the easiest and fastest way to check the polarity of the transducers is to just hold them up to your mouth and create an input signal by making a popping sound with your lips. It cut a lot of time out of the process and I wasn't worried about damaging them by poking them.

The mass/weight of the combination is the same regardless if it is on and levitating or the particles are just sitting in the levitator with it off. Standing waves between the top and bottom transducers are what is holding the particles in place. This creates a reaction force on the transducers, pushing them down exactly as much as the particles are being pushed up. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

brilliant Asier! How much would it cost to scale up to levitate an object about 20" in diameter and 20lbs?
@UpnaLab
@UpnaLab 7 жыл бұрын
Thanks man. Acoustic levitation has 2 limitations in the objects that it can levitate. The object cannot be bigger than half-wavelenght (40khz in air is 8.6mm), so this levitator can levitate objects of up to 4mm diameter (in the instructables there is a levitator that works at 25kHz so it can levitate objects of up to 7mm). The second limit is the density, this levitator can levitate objects of up to 2.2g/cm3, in the instructables there is one levitator that can levitate up to 6.5g/cm3.

You can use a multimeter to test the polarity of the transducers. Just set it to dc and tap the probes to the tails. If you get a positive value then the positive tail is the one which you tapped the positive probe to. If its a negative value then its vice versa. I found it useful to have background noise (music playing) to get a clearer reading. fyi, over 80 transducers tested and they had all been marked correctly in the first place. The incorrect markings may be an old issue that has been rectified.

From the research I've done so far, yes, but I still have a bit to learn about the physics before I invest.

1. That fabric can be used to place objects inside the levitator or to protect the bottom transducers from spillages. 2. Mmm you can use a flat array but the trapping will be much much weaker. In 3DHub for something between 12 and 16 pounds you can get it printed in PLA or ABS.

The L298 is an H-bridge driver. You'd need to replace it with another H bridge driver, or build your own from parts. Piezo buzzers have a sharp resonance in the audible range, usually between 1kHz and 3kHz. It is unlikely you'd get any significant power out so far off of resonance.

Does the circuit put out square waves or sine waves to the transducers? I saw both flash by on the scope. Also, why is it nessecary to use ultrasound? Why couldn't you use two piezeo tweeters and 10kHz? Then the size of the object could be 4 times as large
@UpnaLab
@UpnaLab 7 жыл бұрын
The driver board generates square waves because they are easier to generate and cheaper to amplify. However, the transducers are so narrowband that their output is sinusoidal. There is some measures here aip.scitation.org/doi/suppl/10.1063/1.4989995/suppl_file/si_4_am.pdf . Piezos do not have enough power to levitate, take into account that the employed 40kHz transducers are really powerful, also doing levitation at 10kHz would be deafening.

So the levitation is depended on the size of the object being smaller or equal to lambda/2 and also about density. I have been doing research about this subject and I have concluded that this process requires Pvg to be equal to Pogv (Bouyancy = Weight). Is this correct and if so how does the density of the object change the density of the air around it.

This one will work with melted plastic, and there is a bigger version (BigLev) that can levitate some metals. However, anything above 6g/cm3 is a little bit complicated.

These systems can only move the particles up/down. For 3D control we need individual control of each of the transducers, we use a 64-channel driver t kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZCofmSvabJ-icU . I was going to publish the hardware&software for that soon but it is a little bit more complicated than these Instructables.

Can I replace the transducers with a HC-SR04?
@UpnaLab
@UpnaLab 6 жыл бұрын
you will need to desolder the transducers, they are also 16mm. In the instructables at the end there is a simple design using only two 16mm transducers.

Nope. Although for simulating the fields I used software from Ultraino.

Yep, the arduino generates 2 40kHz signals and can change the phase between them.

could you possibly use a tone generator instead?

Sure thing, but we tried to minimize cost (2£ for the nano), space and complexity.

@AlienRelics 6 жыл бұрын
If you have a tone generator that has two outputs with variable phase delay between them, then probably yes. But it would still need the L298 H-bridge to drive the transducers.

I saw and followed the manual that you provided. But it failed. I bought the sensor I bought here (goo.gl/yazm45) Could the sensor cause a problem? The Aduino and L298N Dual Motor Drive Board made a square wave like you showed. However, when two sensors were facing, a sine wave was not formed. What is the frequency when a sine wave is made? And what was the voltage of the sine wave? Where is the current value of Step 19 measured? And are transducers and transceivers the same? I want to make it really successful.

Regulated power supply, or just a dc-dc step up, also the provided power supply from the kits is 9V. Also, many wall dc adaptors can select between different voltages.
