Please Help!!

We need the beer can width of a European .5 liter can of beer. Thanks!!!

Hi Slovenia,

As I live in Europe, I be happy to buy a beer(can), but don't you think they might be different (thickness, grade of aluminium etc.etc ) by brand and manufacturer?

Cheers.

Contact is Edgy

I need to show my contact some positive video results soon or we may lose contact with him. So, I could use some more positive help on this.

Most of you have been very helpful indeed. Thanks to you!!!

European (.5 liter) Beer Can Width??

Please Help!!

We need the beer can width of a European .5 liter can of beer. Thanks!!!

Yes, I agree!!

Yes, I agree. The can is a piece of crap but, they are cheap and easy to play with. Hopefully my contact will share more soon. I think he wants me to earn my next lesson.

Actually we aren't supposed to make the can ring at this stage. We are just supposed to get it to vibrate against the suspended nail when hit with 60 hz..

The can will chatter a bit against the nail if it's been sanded and cut to the proper dimensions.

Thanks for sharing!!

I don't think you can expect a glorified beer can to ring like a bell
or a guitar. It isn't either. It is essentially a crude cheap mass
produced utensil.

Sanding Mastered

Well, I finally figured out how to sand these cans both inside and out. The way I did it was to vice up a 1/2" iron bar in a vice and have the bar stick out three to four inches. The idea is to put the open side of the can over the round bar stock; hold the can against the round bar; and sand the outside of the can while turning the can so that the can is supported by the round bar the whole time it is being sanded. This works both on the outside and inside of the can. The bar can also be used to work the open side of the can in case you got it out of round while sanding it. It works very well. Try it!!

from: How do soundboards work?

A tuning fork or guitar string is so small that it doesn't displace a lot of air so they don't generate a lot of sound. However if the tuning fork or string is attached to a soundboard, the energy goes into the soundboard, which is large enough to displace sufficient air to be heard. The harmonics of the soundboard allow it to do this with a minimal cost of energy.

You can also place the vibrating end of a tuning fork near the opening of an aluminum drink can, and depending on pitch, the can will resonate and generate a sound, even without direct contact.

read the whole thread; works for fork in water

I can't get my 3.5" can to resonate today and my 5" can won't even try to resonate.

I don't think you can expect a glorified beer can to ring like a bell
or a guitar. It isn't either. It is essentially a crude cheap mass
produced utensil.

But if stroked by something along the lines of a violin bow, it should
make a sound approximately resembling G:
Frequencies of Musical Notes
(if we are aiming for 50hz. 60hz people will be aiming for approx A sharp)

I still think the best signal to tune to is your mains - i.e. a cheap noisy
mains transformer or a fat resistor in series with a cheap loudspeaker
put across the mains - but be VERY careful and take advice from your
electronics shop - for those who are inexperienced.

I made a "violin bow" from a piece of wood bent into a bow
by a piece of string or several lengths of nylon fishing line.

wheres the beef??

I don't see his technique for tuning aluminum??
Did I miss something?

I stumbled onto this site today:

Nikola Tesla Plates and Tuning Anodized Aluminum with Alternating Electromagnetic Fields | Helpfulwaves.com

And it actually makes sense (to me )

COHERENCE AT ANY LEVEL IS COHERENCE AT AL LEVELS. (same for INCOHERENCE)
An orderly arrangement between wave lengths establishes a connection between frequencies and fields. But for this connection to last, it must resonate to all frequencies and fields. This can only be accomplished through the resonate structure of golden mean pathways. This harmonic cascade of inter-connected-ness is the structure of our hologramic universe

Resonating Can

I can't get my 3.5" can to resonate today and my 5" can won't even try to resonate. I just can't get it to work today and it's so frustrating.

Surface Under Can Scenario

My can is on a raised hard surface to allow for proper allignment of the nail, but I don't have felt and/or any other insulator material in use between the can and the hard surface.

I have felt available. I'll try utilizing it and see what happens.

Great Idea!!

Is the can floating [HHMMM just had a thought]
I mean do you have it Hard to the ground or is a piece of "soft"[felt or??] underneath?

Thanks for the pix most helpful!!

Ps
I like you have the nail Inside[speakers can't shake the nail directly] ,IMO super lightweight brittle and straight wire would work better? [I suspect]

I have asked EM at the other forum [O.U.R.] for tuning suggestions using the nail and the can/cup
