Anything that did not work or was broken in some manner, was and still is, fair game to taken apart and investigated by Ethan. He is interested in music, audio technology and acoustics. Ethan started playing tuba in band in Grade 3. In Grade 5 he started playing electric bass. Ethan currently plays these instruments in 3 bands and is planning to start the trombone. He also enjoys the opportunity to assist a local DJ company with his school dances. These combined interests led Ethan to his first major achievement – Canada Wide Science Fair 2006 in Quebec. He built a working speaker from miscellaneous items that could be found in any home. Ethan's interest and ability in music will undoubtedly continue for years to come as he is an aspiring electric bassist. His future plans will be in the field of sound/acoustics technology and engineering. |

Two Sides To A Speaker
| Division: | Sciences de la santé / Aucun | | Catégorie: | Intermédiaire | | Région: | Chignecto Central West | | Ville: | Truro, NS | | École: | Bible Hill Junior High School | | Sommaire: | This project investigated the elimination of deformed sound waves produced at the back of a speaker diaphragm. The innovative design of the two sided speaker which has two diaphragms placed back to back on a single voice coil created phase cancellation and resulted in a decrease in deformed sound waves and a more even frequency response. |
