  2. Sonic weapon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_weapon

    A long-range acoustic device (LRAD) in use on the USS Blue Ridge. Sonic and ultrasonic weapons (USW) are weapons of various types that use sound to injure or incapacitate an opponent. Some sonic weapons make a focused beam of sound or of ultrasound; others produce an area field of sound. As of 2023 military and police forces make some limited ...

  3. Long-range acoustic device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-range_acoustic_device

    A long-range acoustic device (LRAD), acoustic hailing device (AHD) or sound cannon is a specialized loudspeaker that produces sound at high power for communicating at a distance. It has been used as a method of crowd control, which has caused permanent hearing damage, having an extremely high decibel capacity (up to 160 dB measured at one meter ...

  4. Directed-energy weapon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed-energy_weapon

    The Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) is an acoustic hailing device developed by Genasys (formerly LRAD Corporation) to send messages and warning tones over longer distances or at higher volume than normal loudspeakers, and as a non-lethal directed-acoustic-energy weapon.

  5. Ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasound

    An ultrasonic examination. Ultrasound is sound with frequencies greater than 20 kilohertz. [1] This frequency is the approximate upper audible limit of human hearing in healthy young adults. The physical principles of acoustic waves apply to any frequency range, including ultrasound. Ultrasonic devices operate with frequencies from 20 kHz up to ...

  6. Acoustic levitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_levitation

    Acoustic levitation is a method for suspending matter in air against gravity using acoustic radiation pressure from high intensity sound waves. [1][2] It works on the same principles as acoustic tweezers by harnessing acoustic radiation forces. However acoustic tweezers are generally small scale devices which operate in a fluid medium and are ...

  7. Acoustic metamaterial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_metamaterial

    Acoustic metamaterial. An acoustic metamaterial, sonic crystal, or phononic crystal is a material designed to control, direct, and manipulate sound waves or phonons in gases, liquids, and solids (crystal lattices). Sound wave control is accomplished through manipulating parameters such as the bulk modulus β, density ρ, and chirality.

  8. Sonar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonar

    Sonar (sound navigation and ranging or sonic navigation and ranging) [ 2 ] is a technique that uses sound propagation (usually underwater, as in submarine navigation) to navigate, measure distances (ranging), communicate with or detect objects on or under the surface of the water, such as other vessels. [ 3 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_horn

    Conventional Converging Ultrasonic Horn, produced by Industrial Sonomechanics, LLC [1] Full-wave Barbell Ultrasonic Horn, produced by Industrial Sonomechanics, LLC [1]. An ultrasonic horn (also known as acoustic horn, sonotrode, acoustic waveguide, ultrasonic probe) is a tapering metal bar commonly used for augmenting the oscillation displacement amplitude provided by an ultrasonic transducer ...
