This machine rolls tightly-strung cellophane over two rollers at high speed while sprinkling it with very fine white powder. You lay back and sing under it, vibrations from your voice rearranging the particles as they go past. At the other end of the desk, more cellophane sandwiches in the powder,
locking it into place as it is rolled onto a new roll.
They'll find a way to play it back in the future.
Reminds me of this...

Sing it and they will (somehow) listen. |

I fear that unless your original sprinkling mechanism is determinable and regular (or simply measured and stored), the distruptions that your sounds cause will forever be lost to the initial random scattering. Possibly a good encryption standard waiting to be realised. Also you need to consider removal of static charge build-up. [+] anyway for fast forward thinking. |

This would not work. I'm thinking (a) de Montfort vortices
and (b) resonant monopoles. There's also the problem with
peripheral tympanics, obviously. |

A cellulose tape will degrade rapidly even under the best of conditions, a sealed container might be expected to have a functional shelf life of a few years, but after use the organic plastic will rapidly degrade, assisted by fungus finally completely loosing all plasticity. Your descendants will simply laugh at your complete lack of foresight and throw the powdery unrecognizable trash away. I cannot immediately think of a shorter lived media. Sound recorded in fine sand maybe. |

I was just thinking abourt how mermaids might grow sun warmed kelp near an iceberg to create beautiful layers of warm n cool water to modulate their voices n act like sound conduits I thought they might make a squeak friendly dolphin audio playground that way kind of like the way radio energy acts at different atmospheric densities |

//the organic plastic will rapidly degrade// |
|
| |
well, it has to be cellophane, so I don't know what to tell you... |
|
| |
[beanangel] meets [fishboner]. This should be interesting. |
|
| |
//it has to be cellophane// Why? Because of the texture? If so, mylar might be a good substitute. It has a similar texture and is much less prone to breaking down. |
|
| |
okay. I love mylar. The Hyperblimp guy uses a clear mylar, and the supplier is his friend. Any clear film will do, really. I was really just going for a really high resolution and no loss in bandwidth due to electrical components. |
|
| |
//peripheral tympanics//
good point. Easily solved by putting the sealer before the singer. |
|
| |
look into point-to-point topography with relation to electronics involving signals. |
|
| |
but the whole point is that it isn't electronic. "strip width" more like. Isn't the natural scattering of the media going to completely mask the signal? Vibration isn't going to leave distinct patterns in the media. |
|

people - this is the halfbakery. [fishboner] just found a direct way to code vocals into cellophane and sugar, with the possible but unlikely outlook of it being decoded in (obviously overqualified and underchallenged)future times. with the additional charm of the voices being those of dolphin playing in a mermaid made playground, how much more beautiful can it get?

keep telling yourself that... |
