    A very intuitive example is a children's swing set. If you've ever been a child you'll know you can give yourself a tiny amount of speed by leaning forward or backward on the swing, and you can gain more speed by alternating with precise timing. If your timing is off (not resonant) you'll lose speed instead, but by making your small disturbances at the swing's resonant frequency you keep accumulating more and more energy.

      Steve Mould Good point. I'm not an expert, but i had a lecture about psychoacousics and i wrote my Bachelors Thesis in this field. Because the higher harmonics are always at frequency multiples of the base-frequency, you can even fill in missing ones. The perceived pitch for tones especially complex ones is very difficult. But the most basic thing to know is, you perceive it at the base frequency, even if its missing; not at the loudest. Try searching for "virtual pitch" its very interesting. And if you are really curious: psychoacoustics by Hugo Fastl and Eberhard Zwicker is a great book, in which i actually just looked ;-P

    • @mattlm64
      @mattlm64 Před 7 lety

      How do you define base frequency? If it isn't the loudest then what is it?
      What I've found is that applying frequency or amplitude modulation to a wave changes the perception of pitch. Ratios above 1 increase the perception of pitch, and ratios below 1 decrease it. At least this is true for the ratios I've tested. Also adding harmonics to a sine wave to create a square wave, sawtooth wave etc. increases the pitch which makes sense as it involves adding higher frequencies.

    • @EsIsJaNichtsMehrFrei
      @EsIsJaNichtsMehrFrei Před 7 lety +24

      Matthew Mitchell Sorry my english isn't that great, so I'm kinda struggeling to explain. The multiples for harmonic tones are only derived of positive integers. Everyone of them has a factor, which accounts for the timbre or "how" it sounds. (Imagine how different instruments or vowels on the same tone still sound different.) I think its easiest understood with an example.
      Take 1kHz as your base frequency. The harmonics are then at 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, kHz and so on. If you would only see 3, 4, 5 and 6 kHz you could still figure out, that the base would have been 1 kHz, cause there's no other base frequency which would fit. Your hearing kind of checks what base-frequency would fit and is the highest. If there were only 2, 4, 6, kHz and so on you would perceive its base frequency at 2 kHz, even though 1 kHz, 500 Hz, or 400 Hz would theoretically fit. The less harmonics there are the more ambiguity there is, of course.
      Does that make sense?

    • @mattlm64
      @mattlm64 Před 7 lety +1

      Sure, that makes sense, though personally I have listened to the "missing fundamental illusion" and to me the version without the fundamental sounds different. It sounds tinnier and you can notice the absence of the fundamental. The overall perception of pitch is higher.
      Also, as I mentioned, the addition of harmonics and sidebands to a frequency changes the perception of pitch. I've noticed this when experimenting with additive synthesis, frequency modulation and amplitude modulation. Surely you would agree that a sawtooth wave or a square wave sounds higher in pitch than a sine wave of the same frequency?

    When I was much younger I used to do a lot of cave exploring. One thing I always enjoyed doing was finding the resonant frequency of the cave passage I was in. It was usually a low wet long crawlway or canyon. It was normally a fairly low frequency, like when you clear your throat. When I would find it, it would greatly amplify and rumble down the passageway. Lots of fun, but sometimes it unnerved the people I was with.

    • @gizmoguyar
      @gizmoguyar Před 5 měsíci +1

      Is that really true? If the impedance of the extremal driving force is extremely non linear, it's possible for a system to resonate at a frequency where the energy is lower than another non-resonant frequency. I was always taught that the resonant frequency is the frequency where the ratio of stored energy to dissipated energy is the highest. On both sides of resonance, the energy dissipation rate increases faster than the stored energy increases

    Resonance is always associated with increasing power. When the wind causes a tree to resonate, it falls over. If the tiny energy from a radio antenna is fed with resonance, it can be processed further. Every thing has its own frequency with which it resonates. The size of the oscillation amplitude depends on the internal consumption, which is the damping. The human body can also be set into vibrations. Its natural frequency is around 2Hz. This is very helpful in relieving muscle tension.🤠

    It isn't just that the resonant frequency gets amplified as you keep supplying the air with white noise, thereby constantly disturbing the system, but that the other frequencies cancel each other and themselves out. This is a kind of overproduction of variants, random variation and natural selection taking place - with some frequencies, those that fit the environment, being accumulated (essentially getting bigger in amplitude) while those that aren't fit to their environment getting killed off over time (the amplitude being brought down to 0). As long as the air keeps getting supplied, the fit individual frequencies keep being accumulated. This is an equivalent to a single generation of evolutionary dynamics (as in random variation and selection) taking place.

My gas was plumbed in through a metal tube through a rubber bung at one end and the speaker was over a balloon on the other end. it worked really well. The thing about it that surprised me most was as I walked around the room at regular positions there were points where the frequency was inaudible, where the sound from the speaker and the reflection from the rubber bung had cancelled each other out.

    In high school, I saw a similar effect in a science demo. Except it was to show the sound wave. Had a tube but only for the gas, drilled with little holes which were lit. The speaker was placed at the end so it would project over the flames. Then used a sound generator in a sine wave form. The wave moved the flames down or up depending on the frequency and moved when the frequency was changed like you would see on an oscilloscope. It was a really cool way to 'see' sound.

    Is the explanation for the bottle correct? If so, then it would also work with your mouth replaced by a white-noise speaker, something I really doubt. The phenomenon is usually explained with Helmholtz resonance. As for the Rubens tube, I think it is great visually! But it also raises some questions that are unrelated to resonance (Why does more pressure variation produce more fire? Why is there fire everywhere when there is a sudden noise in the music?). Another great tool is an electric motor with a rope and a synced strobe-light (but is perhaps not so good on camera). I would love an explanation on the bottle-thing, and keep up the good work!

      If you place a funnel over a speaker in a club, or a over a stage-size guitar amp, you could get the same result.

    • @MushookieMan
      @MushookieMan Před 7 lety +6

      A speaker doesn't produce a net flow of air like your mouth does, it merely vibrates the air. Steve's explanation made me cringe, sorry, it can't be right.

    • @erzangel135
      @erzangel135 Před 7 lety +5

      You are right with the Helmholtz resonance, but wrong with the speaker. Because it's not about getting white noise out of your mouth, its about getting white (or really any, since noise is just a random appearance of all frequencies at statistical levels) noise at the corners of the bottle. (You can blow a bottle without making noise yourself).
      You can produce noise at the bottle, when the air flow gets disrupted at the corner, and in doing so, create all the frequencies.
      Since the resonance frequency of the bottle (only one!) is also included, it will bring the mass-spring system of the bottle into motion, leading to the resonance. All the other frequencies also bring it to motion, but since they are incompatible in frequency, they will lose their energy completely, becoming inaudible. It is like filtering the noise with a bell-shaped EQ with a big Q factor.

      Freeasinbeer more pressure is more fuel pushed out as Im sure you already know, but my guess is the variance in pressures happens much more quickly than the fuel can burn once emitted, so overall many incidences of high pressure meana bigger flame. In a way the flames are averaging the peaks.

    I noticed at minute 7:20 that when you're going down with frequency, you're actually getting response in E , D, C, Bb, Ab, and so on (that's a difference of an exact tone or two semitones between eache response and it seems like they are perfectly tuned as well). That means that there must be some kind of relationship between this effect and the actual system we're using to do music. What I mean is, are the musical scale (and the way it's organized) and the musical system itself casual? Just a coincidence? Or is there any real physical relationship between how have we chosen to use or organize music and how it really works?
    I just wonder, I'm not an expert in this area so I can't perfectly be wrong.
    Great video, thank you!!!

    Enjoyed this very much!
    Watching the flames while the music played, made me wonder how it would respond to a voice speaking; which brought to my memory this passage of scripture that all of a sudden makes more sense!
    _Psalm 29:7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire._
    I always loved watching the flames of a campfire dance, and split, and disappear. But invariably, they always remind me of hell.
    So now, this ominous thought comes, how that the Bible teaches that Jesus' soul went to hell after He died, but was not left there (see proof verses below), because He is infinite, and He could pay what we all owe (an eternity in hell) for our sins.
    But God will never force anyone to believe in Him, so He leaves with us the choice to believe His Word or not. If we do, He forgives our sins; if we don't, we must pay for them ourselves, and being finite creatures, will never finish paying.
    So, now I'm wondering that if His voice divideth the flames of fire, what will be the message (resonance) to those who reject Him as their Saviour while they suffer the torments of hell for rejecting the fact that He already suffered for them. Maybe their torment will be His voice saying, "I've already been here, out of love for you; but you refused to believe, so now you must resonate my torment and crying for all eternity!"
    Now that is terrifying!
    Thanks for the lesson you didn't know you were giving. God is all and in all - even in your video.
    Proof verses that Jesus soul suffered hell *for* us:
    _Psalm __16:10__ For _*_thou wilt not leave my soul in hell;_*_ neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption._
    New Testament quote of Psalms 16:
    _Acts __2:27__,29-30 Because _*_thou wilt not leave my soul in hell,_*_ neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption._
    _29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day._
    _30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;_
    _31 _*_He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell,_*_ neither his flesh did see corruption._
    _Isaiah 53:5,10,11 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed._
    _10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when _*_thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin,_*_ he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand._
    _11 _*_He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied:_*_ by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities._

      Waves of different shapes are compositions of sine waves (Fourier series) so you will see a composition of standing waves. However, since lower freqs in Fourier series usually dominate, the result will be similar to pure sine wave of the base freq. Also, there is the "blurring" effect of the medium (each medium works as a low pass filter).

      @meadish Před 2 lety +1

      Tough to answer this simply, I think.
      The human body is a lot less regular in composition than a Reubens tube, and how we experience a particular stimulus is not exactly the same each time we experience it, in other words, our baseline emotional state, level of alertness, concentration, the thoughts that arrive and how we respond to them etc. all play into what kind of emotion we experience. And if we watch that emotion closely we will notice that the emotion itself is not static from moment to moment, either.
      It seems to me from my own observation that by simply placing strong consistent attention on a particular part of the body, we somehow alter that location to a certain degree. I don't know what actually happens materially, but I would speculate that the nerves and sensory cells around that area probably become more active?
