With a surname like that, you can`t fail, no matter what you do.

Amazing stuff. And what does he do with it? He sells it to the MILITARY.

Next time some religious nut assassinates somebody and claims Jesus told him to do it, we`ll have to wonder...

This guy sounds really down to earth. It`s amazing how the military will take anything and make it into a weapon.

imagine `silent` night clubs
or some really cool effects on the dancefloor (electronic music mostly)
like having a fan with those panels on each fin, each panel with a unique sound which is spinning slowly creating a mixture of sounds and textures.
i would love to produce something like that where each panel is a sound in a mix (producer talk). I wonder what it would take in cubase to mix it in that fashion. lots of testing involved i guess!

i would laugh so hard if i actually end up doing that and making my career as a dance music producer based on that.
id be known as the rotating music guy LOL.

im baked.

This talk is from 2004, so how come we`ve never heard of this? Seriously, this is one of the most brilliant inventions ever and this TED talk, posted in 2009, is the only recording I`ve seen of it on the internet.

I wonder if it`s propagate at a certain distance away from a speaker? creating a sort of ventriloquism effect?, that way you could hide the speakers and sound would seem to come from a location of empty space.... Combine that with current ideas for 3 dimensional hologrammic video... make it appear that the sounds is coming from a hologram`s mouth...

you`ve never heard of it because the military probably owns the patent by now.
