Anatomy of a resonator plug V2.0


so it turns out that just foam inside the resonator plugs is not such a great idea... the main problem is that it does not seal, and it compresses way to much to be very useful to me. here is the inside of version 2.0:


this consists of a small loop of latex tubing, which is supported by one of the small foam disks that we cut. it is sandwiched between two of the wooden disks, as in the original design. it is then compressed using the same bolt system as the original resonators. 

fully disassembled. as you may or may not be able to see in this image, the tubing is cut at a slight angle to make it much easier to seal the resonator. if there are any leaks, the effectiveness of the resonator will be severely reduced.

in other news, yesterday we finished drilling the holes through the aluminum to hold up the resonators. the deadline is approaching, but I am fairly confident that we can have this project finished soon. maybe not by the deadline, but soon.
