The Last Stand, a mutant claps his hands and blasts a shockwave across a battlefield. In a theater somewhere, Sunny Jung ...

Cornell University researchers have finally figured out exactly how human hand claps create their distinctive sound — and ...

Clapping creates sound through air pressure, not just hand impact. Shape, speed, and skin softness change the sound.

(A sound made up of just one pitch is a sine wave.) brian0918//Wikimedia Commons A brass Helmholtz resonator. Helmholtz wanted to analyze the makeup of sounds, so he created small brass spheres ...

The study, published in the journal Physical Review Research, shows that the sound of a clap is not just due to two hands ...

Technically, an exhaust resonator is a type of Helmholtz resonator, a device invented in the 1850s by a scientist named Hermann von Helmholtz. Helmholtz discovered that a sphere of a specific ...

The key to generating sound from clapping is a cavity of air that is compressed and pushed out of a small space. Scientists ...

A new paper published in the journal Physical Review Research provides experimental support for the hypothesis that hand clapping essentially acts like a Helmholtz resonator—akin to the hum ...

Or does nature simply abhor a single lowered window? It’s time you got answers. Science, in all its wonder, formally named the phenomenon the Helmholtz Resonance after the German physicist Hermann von ...

Honda employed the concept of Helmholtz resonance, the phenomenon that generates sound when a person blows across the top of an empty bottle, to create a resonator that wraps around the wheel and ...
