spotted in that inheritance thread (and sorta similar to this one)......could someone please give me an educated opinion on the following
http://www.rotarywoofer.com/index.htmits a supposed infrasonic woofer, utilising an entire room as an infinite baffle....apparently 200wrms power rating
1) would this work?
2) would a bus be a suitable enclosure?
3) any point in force feeding it a couple of Kilowatts of power?
4) if the mythbusters pulled a 160 @ 16hz....what could this be capable of with a response peaking at about 1 and 9hz....and still maintaining strongly up until 30hz...
????
just soemthing that has caught my eye
*(still wondering why the hell they wouldnt have bolted the doors and welded the friggen sun roof shut before the crank mangled that 51 inch cone!!!)*
edit: 110dB @ 1hz.....

In this test configuration the rotary woofer was able to maintain greater than 110dB sound levels down to 1Hz. Typical maximum sound levels in the 2800 cubic foot test room are around 115-119dB with 350 watts total input power (motor plus audio amplifier power) between 1 and 30Hz.
For comparison most conventional subwoofers will not achieve 110dB output at any frequency 20Hz or lower with 10% distortion or less.
Because these distortion measurements include the room they are likely higher than actual anechoic readings. The room walls experienced resonance modes between 10 and 15 Hz. Below 5Hz there is significant volume velocity at 110dB such that a door will swing back and forth. At 1Hz you don't hear anything other than the rattling of doors, walls and the air moving through the transducer and the room. The THD number includes all harmonics and room noise up to 2Khz
