#Transducers
New things the Trump administration will be banning:

The Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Transcendental meditation
Transcontinental railroads
Transatlantic flights
Transmissions
Transformers
Transfusions
Transducers
Transplants
Transistors

For some reason, transmissible diseases are being encouraged.

Sonic transducers
At the Rocky Horror Picture Show in Minneapolis, they’re throwing out ICE whistles shaped like dicks.

Oops, I finally understand Clojure transducers, which of course means I'm no longer able to explain Clojure transducers to anyone else.

This is a "mumble tub" or mercury delay-line computer memory unit. It sends an audio pulse through a tube of heated mercury metal, preserving data as analogue waveforms. The transducers were in human audio range, so it was said these sounded like whispering or mumbling people when in operation

This shit is gonna make me go full adversarial tech witch and start building wearable ultrasonic transducers into jewelry to fuck with microphones.
NEW: The new Apple Watches double as AI-powered listening bugs for generating convo "recaps" or transcripts of any previous 15 seconds. But fear not, Apple says, this data isn't sent to Apple/gets encrypted, speakers aren't ID'd, and there's a chime for the 15-second thing. @lhn.bsky.social reports:
Apple Doesn’t Want You to Worry About the New Apple Watch’s Listening Features
The new Apple Watch includes several “intelligent” listening features that have privacy and security baked in. But the protections can’t change the facts of what the tools do.

I attended Clojure/conj 2014 in Washington, DC.
Rich Hickey (the creator of Clojure) gave a talk about transducers.
I still don't know what transducers are.

You ever think about how Oak Ridge strapped like $5,000 in ultrasonic transducers to a clothes dryer and discovered they could get clothes mostly-dry like ~20x faster and with a fraction of the electricity

We really need cheap, very-high-lifespan transducers.

Not sure what to do with this, but here is a homemade #antigravity tool you can make with Arduino Nano + motor driver + about 60 ultrasonic transducers.

I don't get all the words Josef uses when explaining the sonars. Magnetostrictive transducers and piezoelectric or whatsoever.

actually, true. I've begun hosting on whales lately. when you request something from my site, a network of deep sea transducers pings a specific beluga (Little Joe IV) in the Bering Sea. Little Joe whistles the requested resource back to the transducers at around 9hz, but only when he feels like it
something extremely funny is happening on this website

Just realized I could charge 200% more per contact mic if I called em “sound art transducers”

I finally re-recorded and published my intro to Clojure's transducers talk that I gave last year. Check it out if you're a Clojure user who's not yet using transducers. It includes the insight that made me start using transducers every day: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACwJ... #clojure

Arrays of transducers can move levitated objects in three dimensions or merge droplets. Demonstrations show styrofoam beads or water droplets floating between a speaker and a reflector. (3/4)

New to Bluesky, Im trying to improve my science posts! Science of the day comes from the Juneau Icefield Research Program! Here we installed water pressure transducers to monitor glacier lake drainage impacts on glacier movement. #alaska #glaciers #climate

Stopped by the #Nigerian pavilion at #COP29 to connect with our collaborators from the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). Their support in installing pressure transducers in the #Niger Delta last August was invaluable 🧪. Excited to return there soon! #NASA #SWOT 🛰️ #calibration

A big part of why I wrote my Sensory Transducers post is that I knew it would lead me to discover weird stuff like this

This is the test set up for my new Darius build.
The finished one will be slightly narrower than this one, at about 1.35m for both screens.
Bass transducers arrived tomorrow, to be continued...

just realized i have some ultrasound transducers in the parts bin and could build a receiver
September 9, 2026 at 3:45 AM
Yep. One of the first piezoelectric materials discovered. Besides sonar it was the most common material used for ultrasonic transducers for a long time. Nowadays we have fancy titanate ceramics and can choose optimial materials for sending or receiving, but we stand on the shoulders of quartz haha

any of you nerds train with linear position transducers? camera apps tracking bar speed? any of that stuff?
