Cones of all flavors

Pano · 20th December 2007, 06:16 AM

Well just like ice cream cones, full range speaker cones seem to come in many flavors.

Just a few I've run across lately. Who's got some more?

Tang Band:--Bamboo
Fostex:-------Banana
Seas:---------Papyrus
Jantzen:-----Cotton
So-voioe:----Wool
JVC :---------Wood
Hemp:-------Weed

Yummy!

They really aren't weed, they are hemp... same species but dramatically different varieties...

Visaton -manilla (not quite the same as hemp).

Selenium - Quartz composite fiber. Not very tasty, doesn't soften in milk.

Jordan:--Metal (unnamed alloy)

The only relation of manilla to hemp, is that after Dupont got the US Government to make hemp illegal manilla was used as a substitute and the term manilla hemp was used to indicate that manilla was replacing hemp (which it didn't do a great job of and subsequently hemp was grown legally for the war effort -- and something similar should be done so the hemp can be used to make ethanol instead of corn.

/sorry for the politics (there is just so much mis-information wrt hemp)

True. A fine shrub on the whole.

Sugar cane is the best for that! We may be sitting pretty here on Maui, in that regard.

I know - I'll make speaker cones out of sugar cane! Guaranteed to have a "sweet" sound.

How much infra-structure support does sugar cane need (ie corn needs lots of fertilizer, and i believe chews up the ground)?

To be cost effective the plants need to be close to the source, so ethanol would need to be shipped to have a significant export market. I see ethanol in the long run, as a local industry, with little energy expended to transport it to its point of use (althou i guess pipelines would change that up a bit)

And that is one of the advantages of hemp - it will grow almost anywhere.And like the Eskimos & the whales, can be used for a lot more.

Sugar cane needs less resources...but the king is "switch grass", from the southern US. It yields 3 times the energy with almost no fertilizer and is pretty drought resistant to boot.
