Inventor Creates Soundless Sound System
Source: Associated Press
Elwood "Woody" Norris pointed a metal frequency emitter at one of perhaps 30 people who had come to see his invention. The emitter — an aluminum square — was hooked up by a wire to a CD player. Norris switched on the CD player.
"There's no speaker, but when I point this pad at you, you will hear the waterfall," said the 63-year-old Californian.
And one by one, each person in the audience did, and smiled widely.
Norris' HyperSonic Sound system has won him an award coveted by inventors — the $500,000 annual Lemelson-MIT Prize. It works by sending a focused beam of sound above the range of human hearing. When it lands on you, it seems like sound is coming from inside your head.

Wouldn't you agree this is one of the coolest inventions of late? |

Just think of being at your desk with one of these speakers hooked up to your computer. No more wearing headphones or ear plugs, all while listening to whatever you please inconspicuously.
Another use could be at a night club where each table has its own selection of music, so you don't have to listen to the shitty DJ all night.
These are just uses within entertainment, but I'm sure there are others. Use your imagination. |
