noise pollution

[abhinav krit]

can we convert noise to electrical energy

[pinus]

That's exactly what we do with a microphone

[Stav's Back]

They also do it successfully in Monster Inc!

Good one Stav... goo one!!!

[Reg007]

*good

Seriously now� if noise is a form of energy� then the waves made by noise should be able to be converted into electricity� I think this is a very good and clever concept� Never thought of it this way� Abhinav, you might be onto something here� If you ever make money out of this, please remember your supporting fan!!!

I think what abhinav was trying to say was 'can we convert noise to a use-able energy'. Yes we can but the level of noise would have to be huge to power just light bulb for a few seconds.

[Waltonator]

yes, but you need a lot of noise to create any energy.

[Waltonator]

it wouldntbe worth building a machine to convert it - the energy would be too small to be of any use

[pagey]

harnessing heat is the way forward as eveything that consumes energy emits a degree of heat.
