What if you build a sub with helium in it? - Page 6

Bill F.: As always, you present an incredible amount of useful, pertinent information in very little space. I always look forward to your posts!

I have a pending patent for the use of a full or partial vacuum on the enclosed side of the diaphragm and am always quite interested to see how others have attacked the 'self-important'

law.

In my vacuum subwoofer prototypes I use half-roll surrounds comprised of a layer of rip-stop nylon (for strength) and a layer of Mylar (to stop in- and out-gassing). It forms an extremely compliant, low loss surround with no limits on excursion. The diaphragm is ½ inch thick honeycomb-core aluminum laminate.

I love this speaker-building stuff!!!

Interesting! I can't see your drawings for some reason, (could you attach one to a post?) but it sounds a lot like something I was chewing on a couple years ago. Here's an early rough drawing from my sketch archives. This one uses a DC servo motor.

Good luck!

FWIW, If you're using the AlternaTiff plugin, I cant get it to work in FireFox, only in IE.
