Carbon nanotube speakers to press on underwater exploration
Posted By: Bharat BhushanSharma | Jun 14 2010
Long-range sonar that use sound propagation to navigate in deep waters could be in for a revolutionary change with waterproof speakers, which researchers from University of Texas’ NanoTech Institute have engineered for underwater exploration using thin sheets of ‘carbon nanotube’. These carbon nanotube speakers mimic the vibrations of a speaker cone, given their property to heat and cool the surrounding air quickly, which should make them ideal for use in long-range sonar and other underwater endeavors.
