    Good stuff Vortex.

    Check this out.
    Thermoacoustic Refrigeration at Penn State

    There's some pretty detailed info on this project that a skilled person could probably replicate.

      Yes, sigzidfit I had see this and was thinking electricity and not refrigeration because there is so much out there about refrigeration .. BUT
      I thought I better take another look at it and I missed posting this jewel about it acoustic pressure amplitude:
      The study of performance at high acoustic amplitude is important because the power density of a thermoacoustic device is roughly proportional to the square of the acoustic pressure amplitude. This means if you can double the acoustic pressure amplitude in the thermoacoustic resonator, you get four times the power density!
      That's LEVERAGE !!

        Vortex,

        I've got quite a few links and pats and related info. I'll post here if I come across it...it's been a couple of years since I was looking at this stuff, but there's quite a bit out there from so much development by NASA and main stream academia.

        Don't forget, a pump is a motor and a motor is a pump. A heat engine is also a cryogenic cooler. Sound is made of compressed fluid. According to The Regents of The University of California, Sonoluminescence represents an energy amplification of eleven orders of magnitude. According to the Bible, God created light and the earth by speaking it into existance.

          Having looked at a few mysteries from the past - Resonance seems to play a big part. It's like a technology we are just re-learning.

          There is a university developing a resonant cooler for BP - should be going into production with it soon.

          I sort of had a "moment" about a year ago, in that I saw the universe as a model of itself. From the smallest atom to the entire universe - it all was vibrating in continual motion. The atoms were the fastest, objects slower, planets slower, and the universe itself the slowest of all.

          It would thus be possible to split larger objects - by just raising the frequency of vibration. I also think this is true of water molecules.

          I know the Earth has it's own resonance of around 7Hz , but the universe as we percieve it is just on it's outward beat.

          I also don't see electrons as revolving in an orbit (what is supposed to keep them there?) - but as constantly going to extremeties of the atom - then dissapearing into it's depths -only to re-emerge on the other side, and repeat the oscillation. At higher temperatures, it seems that the electrons have a higher speed - so move further away from the centre - Like a ball on a piece of elastic tethered to a central spot.

          I hope this helps in some way
