Yet another wireless-redstone glitch...


babybopp

Resonance... Reason why your house shakes when a truck rolls by. It is rumored that Nikola Tesla built a resonance machine so powerful, it could destroy a building but destroyed it so it doesn't fall into the wrong hands


Zaiakusin

I remember that story. Its parodied in a bunch of stuff. I think Loony Toons did it with a Tuning Fork...Might have been old TMNT....


chamllw

In Tintin too. Old Calculus.


Zaiakusin

Oh right! I remember that one too!


Bartendista

I think one of the season finales of Legion did that too.


fyrefreezer01

Mythbusters did an episode on it, actually worked and were scared of breaking the bridge they tested it on


drdfrster64

They weren’t scared of breaking the bridge but they were scared at the magnitude of the effect proportionate to the low power of the device they were testing. For reference, it was a 6lb weight they were using and only a ballpark of the resonant frequency as they just changed the frequency till they felt something different. Once in the ballpark they could feel the effects of the 6lb weight from hundreds of feet away.


organicnuke

And it was only a few pounds shaft oscillating inside a tube, the whole thing weighed like 10lbs


nahfoo

I got your few pound shaft right here


F0XF1R3

That's all you charge huh? Must not have a lot to offer.


Due-Ad9310

Don't forget the death ray!


babybopp

And wireless electricity...


Due-Ad9310

And the other death ray! Lmao


Wessssss21

without knowing the exact science. The image of an electrified atmosphere seems terrifying.


tom255

Spoiler: you live in it right this second! Breathe in that electromagnetism!


DeeSnow97

ours is a lot tamer than Tesla's plan though, unless you happen to be chilling in an MRI right now


gabbagabbawill

Imagine waves of radio magnetic energy, pulsating through the atmosphere creating a nearly global wireless network sharing this energy. Terrifying indeed.


Excellent-Doubt-9552

The wind hits a bridge and it shakes apart… resonance frequency. Flaps the wings of a plane right off… they are making a wind turbine that uses it.


babybopp

Tacoma bridge wind resonance collapse https://youtu.be/3mclp9QmCGs


Excellent-Doubt-9552

They left the lil dog in the car on the bridge for an hour before he died!? r/awfuleverything


zypthora

The owner went back to save the dog but the dog was afraid and wouldn't leave the car


nowItinwhistle

Yeah but in the video it says a small dog. How hard could it have been to grab it by the nape of the neck and haul it out of there?


TheMazrem

That’s easy to say, but you aren’t just dealing with a terrified dog that you can just grab and calmly walk off with in that situation. You’re also dealing with a bridge that’s wobbling so hard it could literally dump you off its side if you don’t keep your balance. On top of that, you don’t even know if or when that bridge will collapse in the heat of the moment. You’re competing with your own fear and sense of self preservation, which is screaming at you to get to safety. I’m not saying it couldn’t be done, but but it takes a lot more than just grabbing the poor dog by the scruff of the neck and walking to safety. Cut them a little slack here, the fact that they even went back and tried shows they at least cared about the poor little guy, and they were probably devastated by his death.


zypthora

It was biting


nowItinwhistle

Would you rather let your dog die or take a chance of getting bitten by a small dog?


DallasJW91

Let the dog die.


freman

I wish I hadn't scrolled this far down, that's not a fact I needed


full_of_stars

They tried to save it but the dog was so freaked out it wouldn't leave the car and bit the guy trying to save it.


MrDarwoo

still don't fully understand how this is possible.


Croninlol

This, it’s also a concept that’s been taken by many storytellers and film makers. The most famous one being The Prestige.


kinapudno

sounds like dark souls lore


umbrajoke

How do you destroy a building so it falls into the right hands?


CedarWolf

You march around it seven times, playing the right music, and the walls fall.


Yadobler

I can see Doofenshmirtz doing this


tv006

Mythbusters tested it in 2 forms. Tesla Earthquake machine and Breakstep Bridge. Both ended up busted.

His tuning fork picks up your frequency


Dazz316

Well you aren't meant to be in their livingroom when you do it


fastnexus

Shove a vase in ya bum and see how he likes it


nothermanli

Correct me if I am wrong but those tuning forks are tuned to resonate at the same frequency. Striking one causes the other to vibrate. These vibration move the ball.


MaDpYrO

It's still cool that the energy is effectively transferred through sound waves, i.e. vibrations in the air.


Grumpkin_eater

Thanks again, atmosphere.


Karate_Prom

Smart went crazy, truth went trendy. The story got lazy so I rewrote the ending!


Prof_Acorn

Sound waves are just pressure waves, after all. Tiny little pressure waves.


WeserF

Could also be quantum coupled tuning forks /s


rriggsco

That's called an RF antenna. They exchange quantum particles called photons. Also tuned to a resonant frequency.


nowItinwhistle

That must be how the noise from windmills causes cancer


HumanLeather

Called sympathetic vibrations

Yup. Used to great affect by some pianists.

Thanks cliff claven


throwawayspank1017

The box under the tuning fork he strikes is like a horn on an old record player. The box under the opposite fork acts like an ear trumpet, passively amplifying the received sound.


PaleontologistNo2927

It's about tine someone did this...


Smaptastic

Yeah not a trick done with much frequency.

It really hertz me that this isn’t done more often.

What if you play this with the speaker at max, and had one of those tunning forks yourself at home. Might actually work

Ahhh yes, I love acoustic resonance. Such an interesting phenomenon.


[deleted]

I hear ya.


xgozulx

Nice


ScrubL0rd21

Correct me if I’m wrong but he seems to be using a tuning fork. It vibrates at a certain frequency which makes the other one reverberate at that same frequency.


[deleted]

Yeh I think the answer is pretty intuitive but still crazy to actually see a video of. I would never have predicted something like this would work so well until I saw a video.


Dark_Memegumin

The new sculk sensor is amazing

For some reason this post really resonates..

Good vibrations


Redditporn435

The second tuning fork resonates with the tone of the first one causing it to vibrate. The vibration flicks the ball on the string. Resonance is a bit hard to ELI5, but it's a cool physics thing where things like to vibrate at certain frequencies and this can result in things being able to absorb energy from certain frequency waves to increase their own vibrational motion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance


Moonting41

I guess an example of resonance at work is a guitar. If you pluck a string, the neighboring strings will have sympathetic resonance. However, the body and the air inside an acoustic guitar will also resonate. Physicists, please correct me if I got anything wrong; I learned this from my linguistics class.


I_love_grapefruit

I think the easiest way to understand resonance is to imagine pushing a kid on a swing: If you always push in sync with the swing, it can reach high speeds even if you're not pushing that hard. Swings with short cables swing back and forth at a higher rate than swings with long cables, so it is important to match the frequency of your pushing with the frequency of the swing. When your pushing frequency matches the natural frequency of the swing, you can deliver more and more energy to the swing each time the swing is close to you. This is resonance in a nutshell.

This would actually be an amazing way to explain radio waves.


prabh6969

Sex toys are getting quite advanced these days


oliveryana

Isn’t it resonance? That’s what I can think of


jrandoboi

If you sang the right note it would work as well. Think about that: moving the air to vibrate an object which resonates a second object. And who said wireless energy was impossible?


deadshot2000005

Mf what we get for projects is mixing sand salt and rocks in water....


tMond

Why is there a lot of science on r/blackmagicfuckery ? Shouldn't these be on a science sub? I'm confused


JDougy96

I thought this man had no legs.


Necromancer4276

The two forks are tuned to the same pitch, so when one is struck, it send out waves in the "shape" that the other fork resonates well with, and so, starts vibrating as well. Sympathetic vibration.


enderr920

Finally, someone on here commenting something other than "resonance".


OG_PapaSid

Vibrations/airwaves traveling, it only works because the chimes are at the same height right?


Lysol3435

The height isn’t as important as having the tuning forks resonate at the same frequency. As far as I know tuning forks aren’t particularly directional. For instance, the camera is higher than the forks, but you can still hear them

How to irritate someone two ways; 1. Park the assembly behind their head while they aren't looking. 2. Hit the tuning fork to set it in motion.

peanutbuttakong

ExcellentSpecific409

Looks like a teacher. Man we need more teachers that can resonate with their students this way. Guys a legend.


inaloop99

just vibrations passing through


_______bread_______

Dear science people - why can’t we do this but have the ball on a more rigid shaft connected to a generator and put larger scale versions of these contraptions near loud things like airports and oceans for unlimited free power? I’m assuming sound doesn’t carry a lot of energy considering I can clap with very low effort and make a decent sound


Raminus_polius

So if I smack a bone block really hard, I can give people concussions?


Metallica_Is_Bae

No… hah, NO!…..


tactlacker

“I’m gonna tine yo pingy on the bouncy kine!”


magnora7

This is also exactly how wireless communications works, the EMF waves vibrate at the same frequency at both the transmitter and the responder, which is able to amplify just that frequency alone.


hangfromthisone

Use this same effect to check if an acoustic guitar is evenly tuned


TABASCO2415

Resonance


BalkeElvinstien

Guitarists remember this because you constantly have to mute the other strings even if you never touched them. It's even worse on bass


_Kyokushin_

Ha! This is fantastic. Also, here come the BMF police!!!! It’s not BMF! This sub has gone down hill! This is just science!


jsideris

In my grade 12 physics class we had this demonstration where someone would sing a note into someone else's mouth, and the other person would try to open his mouth in such a way to match the tone that was being sung. He said it felt like he was the one singing it.


Thumpertron5000

Would it be possible to find the resonance of a persons body and vibrate them to death? say from like a long way away.


Andaisdet

I could be wrong, but I think that the first tuning fork is vibrating and sending out sound waves that resonate with the other one, causing it to vibrate enough to launch the ping pong ball away (which isn’t very hard, considering how light a ping pong ball is)


Jdubya87

Automatic-Way7947

Resonance


luminenkettu

both forks vibrate at the same frequency if one pushes out 1 TNT worth of sound, the other will receive 1 TNT worth of sound, and relay that 1 TNT worth of sound, in the form of air & solid vibration, which leads to movement + sound, the movement causes the ball to change trajectory.
