Abstract
A small fraction of the interesting work being performed in physical acoustics will be highlighted in this talk. From among the topics that could be chosen, two stand out in this author’s mind, as of this writing. Dramatic improvements, by nearly a factor of 2, have been made in the efficiency of thermoacoustic engines by the thermoacoustics group at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Their new geometry brings the efficiency of thermoacoustic devices in line with conventional technologies, without sacrificing simplicity. Another innovative concept has been developed at the University of Mississippi. James Sabatier has invented a very successful method for the detection of buried land mines using acoustic-seismic coupling. This has the potential for saving a tremendous number of lives worldwide.
