Sound waves to dry your brush

[Dewaine]

This is the theory:

1. Sound travels through the air.
2. Sound causes air movement.
3. Placing your brush in front of a speaker with sound coming out will cause your brush to dry faster than it would in total silence.

Discuss.

Interesting for sure,what type of sound I wonder would be best?
This evening I shall try some Merle Haggard and report back post haste.

1. True
2. Sound transfers energy, not matter
3. Umm... try it and see?

This makes sense, along the lines of amplified noise shattering a crystal glass placed in front of a speaker.

However ...

I think that the bristles being wet are heavy (however efficiently the brush is manually dried) so I would think the volume of noise coming out of the speaker would need to be unpleasantly loud (complaint to noise control type loud) to cause the bristles to vibrate and thereby shake out the droplets

also

I would assume that it's also a matter of sustained frequency (the crystal glass shatters when the fat lady sustains a high c for example) in addition to volume to cause the bristles to vibrate.

so

I don't think placing the brush in front of a speaker playing the local radio station (for example) will dry any quicker than it would left upside down in a silent bathroom.

As RF1963 said, you'd have to be producing high volume from a large speaker. You could always just put it in front of a fan if you need it to dry faster.

Lol, and we wonder why the ladies at Katie Puckrik's site (and ladies in general), think we are nuts and wallow in minutiae.

Yes, monster speakers and deep organ music will dry that chubby3 in minutes. Har har.

One of the many charms of this website is the broad range of knowledge and intellectual curiosoity expressed my its members. Classic shaving often is just a nidus of crystalisation for the mental activity. This thread is another example.

Singing, I think.

There are some marine hand held radios with a feature to play a test tone to blow the water out of the speaker. Worked pretty good when I demoed one that was soaking in a fish tank.

Energy of sound would move the bristles and allow air in while encouraging water to go out.

Wouldn't an electric fan be quicker and quieter?
