HOW DOES IT WORK?


The device collects acoustic energy using low-cost loudspeakers arranged on a circular array in
general proximity to a source of high amplitude noise. The loudspeakers act as transducers, with
the acoustic energy owing through them in the reverse direction of typical loudspeakers. The
back plate behind the array panel increases the impact of energy on the transducers, raising
voltage output. Each transducer has a corresponding wiring system on the other side of the
panel, which conditions the acoustic energy into the electric power, and transmits it into a
battery. The AC supply is passed through rectiers and is then connected into a series, resulting
in substantial DC voltage and a constant current.
