Xecutor hits a "C"

[ford-dealer]

Ummmm.... so yeah.... I was demonstrating a Whelen Xecutor to a friend, and while I was almost at the peak of the wind up.... the wine glass on the bench exploded into a KAJILLION bits! The glass was empty and about 12 feet from the speaker..... I suppose somewhere in the wind up, the tone hits a perfect "C" note????


:explode:

That is hilarious. Have you recreated the event again yet ?


I'm sending this one to Mythbusters if we don't see Video documentation fairly soon !

Actually.... I AM planning on seeing if it happens again..... And if it does work again.... I WILL supply video! It scared the CRAP out of us when it blew.... :crazy:

Yup, sound energy can break things. The thing about the "perfect C" is a myth, though... different objects will have different resonant frequencies.


I'm sticking to beer.

The FACT that you can even USE the word "Resonant", (And Spelled Correctly too!).... makes me think you might actually know something about this! :hail:

 

[Jarred J.]

its not just note frequency but also octave.


myth busters did this with different tyes of glasses

 

[theroofable]

Also how much wine was in the glass is a factor too. As well as 10 million different factors. Good luck making it happen again

If you're familiar with the North Central Expressway in Big D, there's a section of it that goes thru Downtown Dallas, and in the old days the shrill friction sirens on the police motorcycles would shatter windows in some of those big buildings!

I used to hear that there's an area in Downtown Dallas that years ago if a motorcycle cop ran his siren in that area it would shatter windows.  And those were those wheel-driven friction sirens!

No this is creepy..

No, that is actually stupid.   A mouth is a lot bigger than an eye.

I dunno, I've known a lot of people who looked at food, then found they weren't as hungry as they'd though.
