Richard Michael Haberkern, American inventor and filmmaker has an atypical profile. A kind of Gearloose who became famous for many inventions. The last made a lot of noise on the web since it provides a technology to levitate objects with sound: sonic levitation machine. With this technology, a single ambition: to create a hoverboard that can support the weight of a human.
You should know that there are already methods of levitation that use audible sound for the human ear but the goal is of course, not to create audible sound. That is where the challenge, and this inventor has found a very interesting track. However, the acoustic levitation is not new, what is changing in this invention, the electronic device created by Richard Haberkern, which creates ultrasound: an ultrasound transducer. Without this system, the acoustic levitation would be as unpleasant to hear a jet engine. So not interesting.
The reason for the crowdfunding
The invention of Richard Haberkern the buzz because it has created a call to crowdfunding on Kickstarter so that other scientists or engineers working on the project. Indeed, this inventor explains why he needs help: "Let's say we wanted to build a kind of anti-gravity device or even a hoverboard as seen in the movies to do this, we need tens or. Hundreds of ultrasonic transducers that produce very specific wavelengths and reflected beams at specific distances. It is not yet possible given today's technology, but there is nothing wrong with experiment and try to see where our research will lead. " That's why he says the entire operation of his invention, to raise awareness as possible for a day filled around on a board that levitates. Meanwhile, if you want to participate in the financing of this project, read the explanations or visit the website Kickstarter.
