[@getahanddown]

@@BennJordan At 15 mins that is the tweeter voice coil heating up not heating from sound waves. Would be interesting to see a horn speaker directed at a surface you film. That would show sound impact

[@Y2F0]

this would be a dream come true... i love both of your channels SO much this would be perfect.

[@olen4317]

I believe the heating you observed on your tweeter is the inductive heating of its voice coil. The woofer doesn’t heat up because the crossover blocks high frequencies. The two best ways to heat up a speaker (or coil) are either really low (DC resistive) or really high frequencies (inductive).

[@epicwhaleburger]

I agree, it's likely heat from an unideal impedance match when the tweeter is was beyond the desired operating freq.

[@VEC7ORlt]

Woofer is heating up as well, you just can't see it as the voice coil is deeper inside and heat doesn't travel that fast.

[@BassCharacter]

The tweeter is heating up because the voice-coil mass is tiny compared to the woofer, however the power being delivered to it is the same as the woofer (assuming it has roughly the same impedance response). In addition to this woofers dissipate heat more quickly as they have larger excursion and so air convection supplies some cooling.

[@nickwallette6201]

Came to check the comments for this very hypothesis.

[@Jetsetlemming]

I was thinking, wouldn't a better test be to point the sound at like a wall or piece of paper and see if THAT heats up?

A decade ago I worked with a special Flir camera in the petrolium industry, that could see gas in the air much like you showcase with the lighter, but much more clear and without the need of a background. This camera used a sterling motor to chill the sensor to extreme cold, and the sensor could detect temp difference within one degree in extreme saturation. You could see foot on the floor minutes after walking there. I bet this camera could have the thermal resolution to capture sound and reverse it. Thank you for the amazing video!

[@dianapennepacker6854]

I'm choosing you since you seem to know about cameras. Why in the digital age do we still have rolling shutters! Why can't the sensors take a full picture at the same time. Rolling shutter seems to be an issue for so many things is all. I get why old film needs it. Not digital!

[@davidgallefoss1254]

@@dianapennepacker6854 i am not an expert, but i think it has to do with the amount of data captured at once. Shooting raw you still need dedicated recorders that are essentially a stack of ssd disks, and the camera needs to process the signal. Most cameras (phones, drones, dsrl) do not have the processing power to do so real time. So you could have global shutter, but very bad bit rate and low data volume, which would turn to poor quality and artifacts. A rolling shutter can have higher bit rate and better quality real time because it is only a fraction at the time. Is my guess.

[@SilverXTikal]

@@davidgallefoss1254I agree. It’s in the data processing. It think the cameras essentially read the way tube TVs made image frames. Starts at the top and zig zags down. YET! Those TVs had an instant response as compared to flat screens where playing Mario can feel impossible because the image is being processed, upscalled, and stretched in between me pushing jump on the controller. I do wonder how much more crisp an image would be if instead of one dot zig zagging up and down. You had multiple processors tied to the same sensor but different spot. If that makes sense. Each pixel has its own processor core. I think for once we might actually be able to delete the motion blur effect given the exposure is modified accordingly

[@TheRumpletiltskin]

I would like to say that for the heat test at 15:00 you're probably picking up the heat increase from the flexing of the rubber on the tweeter than the sound itself. the camera is even explicitly picking the ring to measure from. that doesn't mean it's not possible to measure how much heat is being transferred though sound, but this measurement was flawed.

[@raytry69]

I think that heat mostly generated by the speaker coil. For the thermal cameras, the heat in the air is invisible. Another thing, that is true the compressed air is warmer than the uncompressed, but the sound wave has a negative pressure part as well what is cooler than the normal air. The average temperature of both is equal to the silent air.

As a retired tech teacher, your genius ideas resonated with me and made me a new subscriber. I was struck by the thought that animals, like dogs, insects, birds, etc., are all operating on parts of the world that humans have no perception of. That is how mosquitoes find the best blood source, or dogs sniff out drugs through walls, or even how is it that rare species find each other in order to reproduce? As a human, I OUGHT to be able to tap into the different sensing methods that animals use by using my mind and the instruments that open up those worlds. We are making good progress towards that and discoveries are being made every day. I am excited to be able to follow your journey and see what else you might be discovering!

[@clemdem4572]

Visualizing sound via heat doesn't seem really likely. What is shown in this video seems to be more about the coils of the speaker heating up because of joules effect, that would make more sense I think. I would have to check with the right formulas but the energy carried by a sound wave isn't near enough what it takes to heat anything (at least under safe hearing levels). Plus the energy of the waves decreases proportional to r³ (sphere)

[@LateralThinkerer]

The "acoustic" heat from your speaker was more likely the lossy component of the speakers' materials' elastic/viscoelatic structure (flex something vigotously enough and it gets hot). Potato/potahto...this is inspiring and very well done!!

[@medicinal_soul]

You are amazing man 400k and all your accomplishments are incredible but I think this man is very underrated in the yt department

[@CaseyConnor]

Awesome stuff, especially the first section! Couple nits: 10:22 -- rolling shutter affects mechanical shutters as well (not that you said otherwise, just saying), and 13:30 -- as others have said, it seems much more likely that the thermal effect has to do with electrical resistance and conduction through the speaker, rather than the heat of actual sound waves. I have seen estimates somewhere (no links off hand, sorry) about the amount of heat-equivalent energy contained in sound waves, as well as the displacement of air molecules in a sound wave, and both were very very small.

[@brandontylerburt]

I always learn interesting things from these videos. I can't lay claim to anything close to Benn's engineering chops, but his mention of uncovering hidden layers of information reminded me of a recent experience where I was experimenting with mid-side audio processing. I was using a random audio clip, which happened to be from the 1950s production "Wonderful Town." It's a big number in which Rosalind Russell is trying to interview an unruly group of Brazilian marines who are only interested in learning the Conga dance. It's goofy and cheerful and kind of hilarious, and it's one of my favorite clips. These older recordings are really interesting, and this one seems to have been mic'ed so that the center channel contains most of what I've always thought of as "the song,"-which can mask a lot of surprises in the side channels. In this case, it seems the side mics at times were a lot closer to the men's chorus than the recording engineers accounted for. It's not obvious in the recording until the center channel is attenuated-and then, wow! As clear as a bell, you can hear all kinds of weird sounds coming from the chorus attempting to hit their marks counting off a tricky syncopated rhythm, and at other points when they are making crowd noises during which their individual voices are not intended to be discernible-It was like uncovering a secret message in a time capsule, and it revealed something of the personality of one particular member of the chorus-it's doubtful he ever knew his voice is so clearly audible, but he definitely puts the "boy" in "flamboyant." You can hear him chatting with somebody, and enthusiastically counting steps, and I'm pretty sure he playfully refers to Rosalynd using a word I didn't think people knew in the 1950s. It made me hope that they all were enjoying themselves and that he had a long and successful career onstage.

This reminds me of the video where researchers reconstruct the audio of a speech by filming the vibrations on a potato-chip bag through a soundproof glass. There was also a technique that was used during the Cold War where a country managed to have the windows of an embassy replaced by a specific glass, to allow them spying on the conversations by measuring the tiny vibrations on the glass, from the outside (although it was not by using cameras but rather a laser microphone)

[@ChiltonWebb]

There's an excellent combat use for this. You could mount it on a vehicle and use it to detect the location of a sniper. The US Army was trying to figure out how to do this in the Iraq war, to track down snipers who were firing from civilian locations. No idea if they ever figured it out. But this would absolutely do it.

[@fredfred2363]

Yeah. Already working. Really well. Uses an array of microphones arranged around the wearer's military helmet. Then on a head up display over the right eye has a crosshair which centres over the zone. And the cross hair moves with the wearer by using motion sensors. Present development is to integrate it along with many distributed wearers, each with GPS to precisely geolocate a target. Then probably the next thing would be to integrate that with a "hawk elimination device"...

[@hacksmith]

When you showed your camera identify a hawk’s location and which chicken clucked, I immediately thought this would be great to track down where fireworks were ignited or direction/location of a run shot.

[@JosGeerink]

I think in the Netherlands they already do this. Wouldn't surprise me if they did this in many other countries as well. Edit: Lookup "Soundbrella" and read the articles by AD, NOS and gemeente. This is translated from NOS: " Leiden calls in the army to combat fireworks vandals A decent firework bomb will of course not go unnoticed, but in Leiden the chance that the police will hear your Cobra 6 is even greater. The army has placed microphones on the roof of five flats in the city, which immediately signal where it came from after the explosion. Within no time the police receive an email with the exact location of the firework bomb. "It is not the case that officers wait at the station all day until a report comes in. A lot of officers are already driving through the city and can be on the scene quickly. The chance of catching them is much greater," says mayor Henri Lenferink. Leiden war zone The army normally uses the system to measure where shots come from and where mortars fall. Although Leiden may not be a war zone, according to local residents it does seem like one in the weeks before New Year's Eve. "More and more heavy fireworks are being set off. That is not only on New Year's Eve, but also in the period before that," says the mayor in the AD. Soundbrella The soundbrella, that's the name of the system. According to Major Henk ter Kulve of Defence, a unique Dutch invention. "This sensor can measure any form of sound and knows exactly where it comes from. The microphones can hear the fireworks from three kilometres away." If it turns out that fireworks vandals are indeed caught faster by the system, other municipalities can also start using it. "

Regarding measuring the energy content of sound: The sound intensity (sound power per area) of a 1kHz tone at 90dB SPL is a hair short of 1mW/m^2. For reference, sunlight is about 1 million times stronger (1kW/m^2). Maybe you could stick a really precise thermometer probe into some sound-absorbing foam? You'd have to pulse the sound and correlate it to changes in temperature.

[@zakmorgan9320]

This is extremely closely related to my PhD and I can tell you with sound that quiet it is not possible with current technology. The cooling capacity of the material means any slight increase in temperature would be almost instantly transported away via convection, conduction or emission. With higher pressure sound it is certainly possible.

Rolling Shutter is a surprise tool that will help us later. If you can figure out the exact timing between rows you can increase the temporal resolution of your recording times the number of rows, as long as you use a zoom lens to fill most of the sensor with a single object. I was almost sure you mentioned that in your laser microphone video, but I just skimmed it again and didn't find that mention

[@ChrisBigBad]

Yes. I was thinking the same thing. If you used a single line from each image and turned it into 30`000 fps (1080 lines x 30 fps-ish), there would not be much to see on each individual frame, but you'd get rid of the "time dilation" rolling shutter produces within a single frame.

I've been working on a few projects to visualize hidden data and invisible networks like Bluetooth and wifi and different methods of concritizing these data streams into a tangible way to help us humans process and understand what's happening all around us... I've been experimenting with from 2d visuals of the signals, realtime video animations showing the movement of connected devices within someones proximity (super interesting to observe over time in public spaces) and audio interpretations of the ble signals using audio systhesis libraries. I think this video just opened up a whole new world of exploration for my art works!

[@HalfGodHalfBeast]

you sure it is the sound generating the heat and not the speaker coils heating up from having electricity pumped through them at an ascending frequency?

[@JayBirdJay]

I always enjoy the work you put on here. Brilliant stuff! That bird tracking section could be incredibly useful for species preservation

[@_xone]

Hey it's finally done, congrats! So just how long IS this one? 😅

[@BennJordan]

Over a month due to all the trial and error with various ideas and devices. But at least I will no longer be kept up at night thinking about it. 😂

[@trashmagicworld]

I don't know if you will see this Benn, but I have been learning from you since like 2013, I was a kid and came across your music on youtube haha, just wanted to say thank you man! We appreciate you bro

[@siboullettej1949]

13:08 This is really good to learn to animate fluids, please release more of those experiments

[@vykyngbla4772]

The creativity in this video is definitely refreshing for KZbin

[@twjamjam]

that shirt goes crazy

[@Xenomorphicism]

You have a new sub. My wife is HoH and any technology that can bring a localized visualization to sound is extremely fascinating. Thank you.

[@007hansen]

You are missing those links you refer to in the description of the video... Thanks.

[@ric8ard]

This is by far the most interesting and informative video I've seen in quite a while. Such a compelling rabbit-hole to explore! Many Thanks for making this!

[@phoenixrising4073]

One can only imagine the toys like this developed by the department of defense.

[@JohnnySacc]

As a programmer & producer, this channel is an absolute treat.

[@noisetheorem]

This is so cool! I was born dear on one side and cannot localize sounds. Do you know how cool this would be as an AR assistive technology that could help someone like me localize a sound? It would be amazing!

[@Grateful.For.Everything]

You beautiful nerds out there need to get on this so homie here can localize sound!

[@TommyLoaded]

Ben, you freaking rule. Thanks for being Ben. I wouldn't want you to be anyone else. Well, maybe a happier version of Ben. Everyone deserves to be a little happier.

[@lambo_drives]

Ouch. 😣

[@leonwinkel6084]

One of the coolest videos on KZbin!! Thanks for the work and sharing it!!

[@JohnSmith-b4w]

I'm glad I found Henry Rollins' youtube channel.

[@worblyhead996]

Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter YT channel....FTFY :)

[@BrockGunterSmith]

YES! FINALLY! All my tinkering over the last 4 years done better, and explained in a straight forward manner! Seriously thank you, this has helped fill in a few blanks in my knowledge to finally get my project over the finish line 🎉

[@putteslaintxtbks5166]

Back in I think, the 1970's, there was an article in Popular Science Magazine about how GM was using sound and photography to find hairline cracks in Corvette engine parts. When I saw this title, I was hoping it would be about that type of tech, as I was recently trying to remember how they did that again because I forgot and am interested in casting metal items and it would be great for analyzing there quality.

[@peterszilvay8507]

This should be like 5 videos, each gadget is so interesting!

[@kam3766]

You and I hyperfixate on the same damn things

[@balisaani]

I learned a lot from this excellent presentation - thanks very much - even if I neved venture down the sound camera path, I love learning about new technologies or new uses for existing technologies, and this has been most educational and is much appreciated.

[@anthonyanglim7147]

Your Low cost Schlieren Photography trick is Absolutely Brilliant!!

[@proksalevente]

The white kali in8v2's were a great surprise! I have the same speakers in black, such amazin pieces of kit. Cool video, as always

[@glenmorrison8080]

3:43 My frustration with Python exactly. I find a Python script has a shelf life of like 1 year, and if I revisit it after that I'm in for a whole mess of digging into why it no longer works and finding old versions of x, y, z....

[@capability-snob]

Heh. We never figured out reproducible builds in the python packaging world. It never used to matter either, because breaking backward compatibility was considered an enormous faux pas. I've had some success with nix for repeatable python, but there is definitely a learning curve.

[@nickwallette6201]

I dipped my toes in Python, and got frustrated by this. Well, this, and the fact that most documentation is written as a flowery tribute to how great Python is, and how easy it is to read. Of course it's easy to read. Nobody ever writes error-checking in Python, they just let the whole thing collapse with a stack trace. Turns out, C and ASM are easy to read when you are unreasonably optimistic, too! TBH, it was never going to work out. I just can't with languages that use line endings as syntax. Gimme my { braces and semicolons; }

[@MichaelChelen]

This is where you want to be using venv and a package manager that supports semantic versioning, but yeah it's not trivial. NodeJS is a nice example of baking this in by default with NPM.

[@bent8793]

Love the depth of the content, instant subscribe

[@DanielSchweinert]

Thank you! This is like the old YT video "The Visual Microphone: Passive Recovery of Sound from Video" where they record on a full hd canon dslr and extract audio source from the images only. Mindblowing kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHy7gKiZjadnl5o

[@MichaelChelen]

Great video, love the usage of rolling shutter to achieve higher virtual framerate!

[@loop8946]

this was absolutely mind blowing. I knew that technology had gotten pretty far on a lot of this stuff but I think it just slipped my mind how long it had been since I did some digging into it. Thanks for the content as usual amazing videos.

[@Longuncattr]

11:19 Because you put it there!

[@blaeser13]

Hello fellow creep

[@seanathin2995]

Finally I'll be able to see in real time the energy that's coming out of my hand and the beautiful geometric energy forms I'm projecting 😊 Thank you Benn, you're awesome.

14:45 Are you sure that wasn't the heat from the electromagnet oscillating as it is technically a type of motor?

[@HVKMP]

Agree in that. It's the coil heating up from internal resistance. It's a perfect small circle, as coils usually are.

[@brooksmatthewjohn]

I can imagine some very Orwellian application for this kind of tech

[@Tibbon]

This is so cool! I had been thinking of trying to build one out of three microphones for mounting on my roof to try to figure out where loud sounds (cars, fireworks, gunshots) were coming from on a 2d map in my neighborhood. I could also see the motion extraction being useful in my studio to troubleshoot vibrations.
