- I remember reading some years back about giant pnuematic speakers that were
- driven with water pressure. I can't recall anything about what was driving
- them, but there were some pictures of some boats that had these huge horns
- on top of them. I think these experiments were done on the Great Lakes.
-
- So how does this relate? Maybe it doesn't, but I imagine these speakers were
- driven by something like the pnuematic equivalent of a tube. Maybe the valve
- term is related to this?
-
- Anyone out there old enough to remember anything about this?
