Beam of sound waves could be used to levitate humans By Jack Loughran Published Monday, January 22, 2018 Researchers at the University of Bristol have developed an enhanced acoustic tractor beam using acoustic vibrations that could potentially be used to transport humans https://eandt.theiet.org/content/articles/2018/01/enhanced-acoustic-tractor-beam-could-be-used-to-levitate-humans/ This discovery opens the door to the manipulation of drug capsules or micro-surgical implements within the body. Container-less transportation of delicate larger samples is now also a possibility and could lead to levitating humans. Dr Mihai Caleap, senior research associate, who developed the simulations, explained: “In the future, with more acoustic power it will be possible to hold even larger objects. This was only thought to be possible using lower pitches making the experiment audible and dangerous for humans.” Physics Breakthrough: ‘Sound Tornadoes’ Can Levitate Humans With New Acoustic Tractor Beam BY KASTALIA MEDRANO ON 1/22/18 AT 11:32 AM EST Researchers from the University of Bristol became the first to overcome that size limitation, paving the way for l[...]
