JEMT8 Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 I went to trade school for small engine repair (lawn mowers, chainsaws, and sitch) and one of the tools commonly used is a vibration tachometer, which translates vibrations of an engine into the RPMs of the engine. Basically it's just a wire wrapped around a dial. Well I was getting to thinking about it, and I remembered that besides measuring RPMs, it also measured hertz. I wondered how accurate it was at measuring hertz so i downloaded me some test tones and decided to check it out. I first placed it on my enclosure, and I didn't get any kind of vibration whatsoever. I have a bandpass box so I decided to place it on the plexi and that yielded better results. After using a whole bunch of test tones, I came to the conclusion that it's pretty accurate plus or minus a few hertz which really isn't that bad for what it is in my opinion. I thought it was pretty cool. Quote formerly known as Jaylor Swift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alvitae Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) That is kinda cool actually. Maybe somthing like that would be good to test a body panel while doing tones. Ones that read off of the tone being played would get dampening and ones that read on would be left alone...
