i'd love to hear what it would sound like if you were in the room while this thing levitated something like a golf ball.

i bet that becomes a new form of music.




The pressure wave would likely destroy your hearing because of the additional energy that would be required to lift a more massive object like a golf ball.


Maybe not. The bass at a dubstep show hits your chest really hard, I can imagine it floating a golf ball. You can do some simple DSP to cancel out most of the amplitude too


You could probably approximate the sound by taking an ultrasound recording from a room that exists like this right now and slowing it down.
