[QUOTE="1aespinoza, post: 8870064, member: 654802"] It may be doable but not at the power levels we use in car audio. The hair tricks you mentioned I assume are attributed to the air being oscillated in a confined space. If there was no cabin, I doubt the soundwaves would be able to suspend anything heavier than smoke. I think this would be because bass waves are too far apart. To be able to excite the air enough to trap an object between waves would probably require the power of a fusion reactor. In the posted video they stated the frequency used was beyond human hearing. That would mean the waves are so close to each other that it is easier to excite and trap molecules between them, and those molecules can hold those styrofoam balls in place. They looked like styrofoam balls. But I do have a theory involving sound. Resonant frequency. As you may know, most if not all matter has a resonant frequency. What if causing an object to resonate to it's maximum capacity will make it easy to push in any direction. Remember the old reels of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington? It is speculated that the wind blowing through it caused a sound that met the resonant frequency of the bridge causing it to begin swaying until it's collapse. It was not due to the power of the wind for it was at 35 MPH. [/QUOTE]
