Ultrasonic Definition and 79 Threads

I have a random but pressing question. I am currently being blasted a nearby ultrasonic noise machine which I can only get within 2 metres of and there is no one to appeal to regarding the issue. How can I disable/reduce the noise given the constraints? This is the device...

I'm an entrepreneur with an interest in Magnetics and Ultra - Sonics. I have a strong belief that there are many more applications in which both could be utilised to minimise the use of various energy forms. I am here simply to learn and understand and ultimately to connect with members who...

See the attached figure. I used 220uF with buzzer and also tried 10uF capacitor but buzzer isn't loud enough. I don't have any 3.3pf capacitor. I used 1.1 pF instead. I also tried changing the resistance of potentiometer but still buzzer isn't sound loud enough.

Hello Physics Forum people! I am working on a project involving indoor mapping, and I have just received 10 SRF02 ultrasonic range finders to hook up in an array to measure distances using sound waves and use this data to map out buildings. However, we are looking to receive the "raw signal...

I bought an ultrasonic cleaner to clean my fuel injectors. It appears very difficult to get a recipie for the liquid to clean in. I think using distilled water is best. At about 60 degrees celsius. What fluids are good to use? I understand that petrol deposits a kind of 'varnish' that can...

Does anyone have an open source code or know how to code propagation of multi gaussian beams through multiple interfaces using the ABCD matrix approach? And this is using ultrasound and not optics. Please let me know if anyone can help out in this

Hey guys, First time poster here. Presently I'm doing a project to measure the levels of LPG remaining in an LPG cylinder. I'm currently trying out ultrasonic sensor that primarily works as a distance sensor(HCSR04). As far as I'm aware, the lower the frequency higher the penetration of the...

Hi, When a linearly polarized shear wave enters an anisotropic material, shear wave splitting (a fast and a slow shear waves) will occur. My question is, under normal incident, will the fast shear wave speed vary if the polarization of the incoming shear wave changes? Thanks!

I have an ultrasonic drill, and need to attach a stainless steel drill bit (hollow tube) to a hardened steel horn. For anyone unfamiliar with ultrasonic drilling, please take a look at the following illustration with instructions for mounting the drill bit...

Hi, I want to calculate the penetration depth of some different frequency ultrasound transducers. I know that it depends on the attenuation of the medium but not sure where these types of figures will be hiding. I assume that once the dB lost for the depth is equal to the dB generated, this is...

I'm working on a project for a bottling plant that is trying to make a vision-based machine to detect cracked glass bottles before they attempt to fill them. It seems that the vision & backlight approach is the standard way to do this in the industry, but the shape of the bottle in this...

I'm building an ultrasonic drill, and I've already collected or machined all of the components. Since I'm very inexperienced in electronics, I'm planning to simply buy an ultrasonic driver (power source) rather than build one myself. The one I'm interested in is here...

I'm attempting to build an ultrasonic drill to make holes in silicon wafers, since we don't have the budget to buy one in our lab. From what (I think) I know, ultrasonic drills can either work by the "jackhammer" motion of a free floating mass which I don't know how to make, or by the transfer...

Hello everyone! Seeing as this is my first post, I'll give you a basic background of who I am: My name is Andrew Raisbeck; I graduated from university with a Bachelor of Computing (Computer Science) degree a little over a year ago, and I now work full-time for the government of Canada. Since I...

I would like to use an ultrasonic transmitter and three receivers to be able to determine the position of the transmitter relative to the receivers. The distances to be measured are around 3-4 ft. I want to understand how the receivers orientation relative to the transmitter can affect the...

Ultrasonic Standing Wave Suspension could the transducer support itself? Essentially looking at items that state a surface area of 1m2 could support 11.5kn at 16 Watts (Hemsel, 2013) could the transducer suspend itself from the reflector using the same theory even though the suspension point is...

Hi, I was wondering whether I could practically produce ultrasound capable of producing acoustic cavitation. I tried an arduino module at 40kHz, but this did bot work, would a higher frequency work? If so, is there a practical way of achieving this? Thanks in advance.
