Best LRAD System!... For Your Money

Ғылым және технология

We test our DIY LRAD outside with a "volunteer" and then move inside to go over the details and build of the LRAD system. You'll see what speakers, enclosure, amplifier, electronics, etc. we use for this very affordable LRAD.

  • @JennyEverywhere
    @JennyEverywhere2 жыл бұрын

    This is fascinating. I thought LRAD was this extremely complex system with computers and special materials. This reminds me of an "ultrasonic gun" my father built with a very small horn speaker a little transistor amplifier, and a high-frequency oscillator. He mounted all of it in a plastic pitcher, like you'd use for juice or lemonade, but with a lid. He mounted the horn to the lid, attached the circuitry to plastic rails he glued into it, added what at the time was a large power pack with C-cell batteries, and filled the rest of the empty space in the thing with insulation to damp the sound coming back at the user. The frequency was pretty high -- I could just hear the bottom edge of it, but all he perceived from it was a beam of pain. It worked like gangbusters on stray or feral dogs, some of which ran in small packs in our neighborhood. He'd wave this thing at them and they'd run the other way, howling. About 15-18 years ago, a guy invented a device that would "beam" sound into your head. You'd hear it, but a person right next to you wouldn't. It was designed for focused communication -- the inventor's example was a "shelf talker" device in a supermarket or department store, that would emit a beam of sound that generally would not be heard, but if you intersected it, a short message about that particular product was "spoken" into your head. There was some other talk about it, and I wish I could remember the name of the company the guy started. I was tempted to put some money into stock from that company for my 401K, but I'm not very knowledgeable about stocks, so I dithered on the subject. By the time I'd decided to do it, the company had pretty much vanished, POOF! Turns out they were acquired by a government contractor with military contracts through the DoD under DARPA. A few years later, LRAD popped up on the radar. Seeing that these devices aren't terribly complicated or expensive, I'm seriously considering mounting a couple on my house's roof, to keep unwanted visitors in large groups from getting too close to my house. It would also give me the ability to talk to them without using phones to call or text back and forth. Add some hefty stepper motors and a gear train, and you could aim the thing remotely. Add a goodly-sized LiFePO4 battery pack, a BMS and a small solar panel, and it could easily operate even if power was cut. Per the Non-Aggression Principle, it would of course only be deployed where violence had already been offered, to defend against such violence. I like the idea of being able to back up a request that such persons leave my property with an effective deterrent.

    You continue to amaze me with the plethora of knowledge that you have. Not just general knowledge, but detailed technical knowledge. And you have a way of explaining it that makes it easy for us common folk to understand. I know there's been some speculation on what your career might be, and you almost denied one profession that I am aware of. But to think you would not be involved in higher education in some form or fashion is a stretch. You are so comfortable explaining things, and doing so without a cue card or anything. You're also able to nail segways and move through the important points you want to cover, again without cue cards or notes. I continued to be amazed and I love this channel. I have told numerous people about it and made some of them watch all or part of one of your videos (whether they wanted to or not). Please keep publishing the videos, this is one area of my life that continues to challenge and exercise my brain, and I love it!!! Thank you for all you do, I know the time spent preproduction and postproduction for a video is about 10-15 times longer than the video, so I know its a lot of work.

    Excellent explanation of sound properties and speakers. LRAD started in the same building with the company I was working for in early 2000 in San Diego. We were developing sonar systems for Navy and they were developing speaker systems when they came upon the technology which I believe was developed by either a college professor or a small company. There were other players developing the technology but LRAD obviously did a better job of marketing their technology.

Then move to multiple targets with oscillating frequencies. Might be a good collaboration with Stuff Made Here.
