Wood Speakers
Similar to the paper speakers these wood speakers are created by carving or laser engraving a spiral shape into wood that has been prepared with a highly conductive layer. If you then run a 5-9V amplified sound signal through this coil and hold a magnet close to the center of the coil then it will make sound. Unlike most speakers that have the wire coil wrapped cylindrically and placed around the magnet, here the coil is in the plane and part of the membrane that moves the air creating sound.

Plate speakers made of Styrofoam, instead of wood, seems a practical choice. It is so versatile, you can do almost anything with it – carve it, reshape it and make different shaped out of it.
Hiya! I know this really is kinda away topic even so I’d realized I’d question. Would you be interested in trading links or perhaps guest authoring a weblog article or perhaps vice-versa? My website explains many of the same subject matter as your own and I think we might greatly reap the benefits of each some other. If you could be interested feel free to send me an e-mail. I enjoy hearing via you! Wonderful blog in addition!
I have been exploring for a bit for any high quality articles or blog posts on this sort of area . Exploring in Yahoo I at last stumbled upon this site.

Superb website you have here but I was curious if you knew of any message boards that cover the same topics discussed here? I’d really love to be a part of online community where I can get comments from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thank you!
