Hello,
I read about how speakers work, and it appears there is a magnet/coil... power is put on it... and the flow of power is reserved in quick succession...
This makes the speakers go up and down/vibrate.
I believe switching/reversing flow of power might be bad for electronics because of the hammering effect. Or maybe it just tears down the electronics (?).
So I was thinking about a different design... (which might actually be worse ?) but ok... I am still going to describe it here... in case it's not worse... and just to figure out if it has ever been tried before.
The idea for a new (?) speaker design goes as follows:
- Instead of one magnet there would be two magnets.
One magnet to make the speaker go up. One magnet to make the speaker go down.
- Instead of reversing the flow of power the following would happen:
One cable to put power on the top magnet. One cable to put power on the bottom magnet.
- To make the speaker vibrate the following would happen:
3.1 To make the speaker go up:
Put power on top magnet. Cut power on bottom magnet.
3.2 To make the speaker go down:Cut power on top magnet. Put power on bottom magnet.
This would create the vibrations needed to move the air.
The adventage could be the following:
- I hope it's much easier to put power and cut power than it is to actually reverse power ?
(The hope is that this will make the electronics easier, cheaper, less warm and last longer).
- Electricity flows into one direction which might prevent hammering ?
(This is where I am not sure... power on and power off... seems a lot like a water facet going on and off and thus creating hammer effect ? oh-oh ;))
Point 2 might be why this is a bad idea ?!?
Still I am interested in what you "experts" think of this idea, questions:
- Has it been tried before ? If so what were the results ?
- If not would it be possible ?
- Would it be a good idea ?
