Heck no, screw patents. I know enough to know they aren't worth it. A big company will steal the idea whether it's patented or not.
I'm going to generate pre-orders through kickstarter and through display at conventions and hopefully maintain sales through reputation.
I have spoken to many engineers in this part of the industry and I am perpetually unimpressed at the things that are produced. I do not expect even the big companies to out-innovate me if they keep doing what they've been doing, but I'm sure they may try to copy.
That being said, I don't think it's practical to sell something with my drivers in it for cheap, so maybe not.
This driver technology is far from my only golden egg though, but it my most prized one (to me).
I have a whole product line of stuff that will no doubt create buzz, but I have no interest in discussing them here and now.

Look for DuPont membeanes.They might already have it done
I already sent you the details of one of the best dsp specialists in the world...
Look up for individuals working in optical instrument facilities.Not sure how many they are in the USA.There is one at least in my country msking optical instruments for the Israelian army.They are highly specialized in vacuum sputtering of all sorts of materials. I know a girl with a phd in physics working there...but i found her on Linkedin not diyaudio...
Just look up for optical instruments lens and mirror coating sputtering specialists.They are the best in the field.
The electrostatics i worked on used such a technique for the membrane, but most organic materials of this sort are already done by DuPont so approaching a DuPont physics and material specialist is also very helpful.
I used to fix spectrometers and gas pumped lasers in the past and many techniques and optical equipent used in laser tehnologies or applications involve vacuum and sputtering of all sorts of materials on all sorts of very expensive cristals so i kinda know the source of these technologies, but my interests shifted to other industries latelu.Unfortunately , the way you behave doesn't allow me to help you get in touch with the specialists i know because these guys work with the military and they are very precise and highly demanding persons.They usually don't give a f..k on what inventions you're working on, they'll ask you ALL the details of your project beforehand so that they make sure they are not wasting their time.They're too busy with their job anyway, they usually answer you after 6 months, if ever...but when they do it you get the exact answers or the questions you need to ask yourself if you're on the wrong path.They have contracts that don't allow them to patent anything in the civilian world and any idea you give them is pointless or wuld be patented to make weapons so the European Patent office will find out about them after 50 years...let slone tge civilian world thst will be long dead at the time of declassification of those documents.

Sorry, not quite ready to leave this issue yet.
Doesn't matter what receptors may get wrong if I am defining 'yellow' to mean the spectrum of EM radiation such as separated by a prism into a 'yellow' band. By that definition if you experience seeing yellow from some other stimulus then your sensory/brain system is fooling you.
Regarding hearing 5Hz, nobody said it was experienced as having pitch. Lots of things humans can hear don't have the perceptual property of pitch. For example, non-vowel sounds and or very quiet whispers.
Also, nobody said Fourier holds true in human hearing at very low frequencies. A 5Hz pure sine wave played by speakers in room might not sound like much. But a 5Hz square wave might be very different. One could argue that one is not 'hearing' the 5Hz component, but if the frequency is changed to 10Hz, you don't think the mental experience of hearing it would be distinctly different? Don't think anyone could pass an ABX on hearing a difference? If someone can mentally experience a difference in the case of two very LF square waves it may just mean Fourier doesn't apply in that case. The ear/brain is far too nonlinear and time-variant for it hold true. A square wave is not necessarily equivalent to a sum of sines in such a system.

Indeed, it simply sounds like a pressure wave that happens 5 times per second.
Although I would argue that the pitch is there, it's just more difficult to distinguish it as an audio pitch when compared to the readily heard pitches of higher frequencies because a 5hz pressure wave is an unusual deviation from what we usually consider as "sound" in our daily lives.
But If you do a sine sweep the pitch becomes noticeable, it's just really really low. If I recall, 10hz and up starts to have something resembling an actual pitch we may perceive as normal sound.

I can not help, but on the audiokarma.org site is a member baco99. He may be worth contacting. His name is Brian, super nice guy and Holt Hill Audio is his company. https://holthill.com.
A 5Hz square wave, whilst almost impossible to generate would of course have harmonics up into 100s of Hz. So what's you point? I take back what I said. Noise floor modulation was more entertaining
Bill, Doesn't have to be a square wave. Could be any easy to hear time-domain waveform, say, maybe triangle, sawtooth, etc. The point is that the fundamental frequency would likely be sensed in such a case by the auditory/brain perceptual system. That is to say, it would be 'heard.' One could define the waveform as something else instead of a 5Hz sound, say, maybe a '5Hz pulsed repetition transient' sound. However, if the oscillator frequency was smoothly swept up from 5Hz to 25Hz, would you then arbitrarily change the definition at some frequency?

I doubt it but will ask anyway. You've physically observed 5Hz of any waveform? Which speakers were used for that?
Well if my spleen started resonating I'd detect that, but not sure I would call it 'auditory'. Men apparantly can detect vibrations at LF through their feet better than women but I wouldn't call that 'auditory perception'.
I knew right from the begining that this invention must be sexist 🙂 .Or maybe it's just the ultimate social equalizer cause women hear better anyway...
We deffinitely need all sort of "ultimate technology" to make the Man Great Again .
Published research suggests this isn't the case. Even mythbusters tried it.
