When you hear of scientific innovations at airports, they're usually trying to offset the environmental cost of such a necessary and long-haul mode of transportation.
If you think sonic booms from supersonic aircraft are a nuisance, wait until the sky is full of planes propelled by up-scaled versions of this interesting but deafening audio resonance engine. Gran…
The research study “Sound Energy Harvesting and Converting Electricity (SEHCE)” aims to create a better and easier way of producing another source of clean and renewable energy through sound.
I came across an article about a Canadian startup that has developed a thermoacoustic engine, which utilizes sound to enhance energy efficiency.

Boeing filed a patent to generate electricity from jet engine sounds some years back.
Someone has already created an experimental engine that generates thrust from sound.
Check out this acoustic engine that harnesses sound waves.
It is possible! Sound is an energy that can be converted into mechanical or even electrical energy.
