Acoustic Energy & Surprising Ways To Harness It (Intro To Thermoacoustics)

Here I introduce a series of experiments culminating in how to make a thermoacoustic engine. Check out my sponsor Brilliant for a great way to keep your mind sharp and learn something new: Below are some sources I found helpful in my research for this video: BladeAtilla was very helpful in troubleshooting issues with the thermoacoustic engine design: Wiki on thermoacoustics: Wiki on acoustic resonance (great animations for understanding sound waves): Modeling a driven thermoacoustic oscillator: Various experiments with a standing wave engine: In depth study on a thermoacoustic refrigerator: A special thanks to my top Patrons: LVE, Enzo Breda Lee, Jon Hartmann, TheBackyardScientist & Eugene Pakhomov!
