Great tips! I am going to mess around with this project a little more. I really appreciate your thoughts here. Everything I have done has been trial and error based on a couple principles, but you give me so many more iterations to try out! Speakers in general are super fun for me so I will try and make this model you are describing work. The version I did here was the really quick version I felt like worked decently well. My versions that were similar to the style (but not quite exactly) to what you described I had a bit of trouble really getting to go. You have some tips though I didn't try, so I will keep at it! Thanks!
O man...trying! I'm trying! The goal is to keep getting better all the time. But it sounds like you would be a fantastic fellow investigator to figure out speakers with!
Thank you! There is quite a bit that goes into speakers. Perhaps in the future I will add a bit more because they are so fun! I have a lot to learn and a lot to figure out still. Thank you for the encouragement!
@@flemdogscience I mean like what if we would set up one magnet the same way but next to it add a smaller magnet. At this moment I got like 3 set up ideas though. 1. The power source connected to magnet A but you add a magnet B which has opposite polarity to be attracted by magnet A 2. Same as first experiment but this time two magnets has same polarity to repel each other, maybe there's a chance to tie them as close as possible to minimize energy traveling distance to magnet B 3. Also same as 2 experiment but this time power source connected to both magnets while they still repel each other. My conclusion is that I want to understand if frequencies travelling through two or more magnets would interact with each and if that interaction could lead to higher frequency build up (in this situation volume up) but my biggest interest is if the energy could travel from A to B magnet to play a sound.
you neglected to explain the mechanism of a speaker's operation, thus you clearly don't know how a speaker works. your device will not work since you have not provided a way for the coil to move anything separately attached to the vibration medium. do your research.
That's the trick! I didn't have a great deal of success getting the coil to move the plate for some reason. My next batch of tests is going to be figuring out what is takes to make that work! thanks!
You should do your research on what having a life is, don’t judge this teacher just for trying to teach something in a simple way with your “ughmmm ashtually 🤓 “
I did try it, but it didn't seem to do a great deal. There are a laundry list of things I need to do to really get this speaker rocking, which I will figure out, and then come back with one that really goes. This is my simple fun model that I think is fun to make and only takes a few minutes. Maybe that final model though will have some hole punches!
Thanks! It is in process. I have so much more to learn and figure out. We should be able to get them SO much louder so I have a few things to figure out!

ARGUABLY THE BEST SCIENCE TEACHER !!!

You explain it really good 👍👍👍

What you should have done was glued the magnet to the paper plate; then held the coil near the magnet. THATS how speakers work.
I love it! Thank you. I can't wait to give this a try in the next iteration.
Would it work if you stack magnets like pyramid and lead power source only to the first or biggest magnet?
I would like to try what you are suggesting. Can you tell me a little more? I don't think I can quite visualize what you are saying.

@@flemdogscience you're welcome. persistence is key, im sure you know. thanks for uploading your progress.

@@h7opolohe said thanks because he’s a kind dude disregarding your negativity not actually thanking you for your inane imput
Very cool 😊
thank you much!
So good! Trying this
They are so fun! My desk was littered with variations. I just ordered a new batch of supplies to start some more! Let me know if you get them to work!
What would happen if you would punch holes in the paper bowl??
that would reduce the effectiveness of the resonating frequencies necessary to make large amplitudes via material vibration.
By reducing the mass and lowering wind resistance, you might just improve the efficiency of your speaker design.

hi thank you i was actually really curious and asking my self that question like two weeks ago and as usual forgot to search it 😅
Make a speaker! They are really fun. You can make a lot better ones than this example. This one is quick though and really rewarding...cause it works!
Awesome 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
