Pretty cool Jim.

Fantastic! I’m glad I read the comments first! I kept the volume low, this is earthquake country Jim. Very creative, somehow the Batfink legend lives on. Next, you joining a chamber orchestra?

Y'all nutz! (And I love it!)

One word: Ominous!!!! That thing sounds great Jim, you always deliver, no matter what! Thanx for sharing, prof. Vibrato would be proud :D

Thanks for cheering me up.

Thanks RTZ. I'm always fascinated by tales of music and vibrations being used for things other than music. Professor Vibrato used his cello's vibrations as a weapon to escape jail and immobilize other cartoon people but in real life there are examples too. The Russians apparently bombarded the US Embassy with low frequencies making many inside ill. Tesla claimed the universe's secrets could be understood through energy, frequency and vibration and utilized this in his "earthquake" machine. Even in the Bible the walls of Jericho were apparently brought down using the power of sound. I bet you can think of other examples. My humble cello is much more benign. Until I can discover Professor Vibrato's secret, that is.

Why am I not surprised that you built a Batfink , and it works.
