You made me wonder; if the the effect could be detected and "read", a you say, it would be possible to use it as a way of transmitting information to the computer by shouting at it.

I then remembered microphones.

I wonder, if you could, theoretically, poll the arrays some 16 thousand times per second and NOT get fired. One could do probably do something neat with the results... assuming that one kept their job after that.

Wow, that's crazy.

Now I just need to find some natural frequencies of typical hard drive platters at 7200rpm and 10000rpm.
What's a hard drive platter typically made of? 😀

I'm sure I could pop some material properties into ANSYS, then set it to spin at those speeds; hopefully I'd get an accurate range of natural frequencies.

All I'd need them is that software he was using, and something to generate that frequency. It'd be cool to take some kind of focused speaker, aim it at someone's computer, and have the hard drive platters vibrate to the point of causing a head crash. :evil:

heh. I think they are usually glass and the software was a frontend for dtrace. (on Solaris) THey have a VM you can use on their site somewhere.
 
Platters are oxide coated aluminum.

We've had problems related to vibration before in sound rooms. Solid state disks will take care of this. Now all we need is to keep the PCI-E controllers in their slots! 😉

If you need to take a break, your Heads can come crash at my place tonight.

Run CHKDSK C: /R. But try not to shout when it's commencing or you may shed a few tears from your fears. 😉

And she was taking off her dress
And she was moving very slowly
Rising up above the elevated floor
Moving into the racks
And she's drifting this way and that
Not touching the ground at all
I turn myself around, I'm moving backwards and forwards as I yell
I'm moving twice as much as I was before
The heads crash in, into my living world


 
Mechanical devices are effected by sound vibrations...? who would have thought...

Also, that little server room is not a data center. :roll:
