I am now curious how much you can optimize the quality of a tin cans and a string. You could encode the sound digitally over the string perhaps. I wonder what bitrate (also bandwidth) you can achieve.
- skhr0680 7d agoUsing acoustic data transmission because it is easy and I am lazy, I'd guess comparable to copper wire broadband based on the short distances involved in an average tin-can + string operation.
- MrDOS 7d agoWell, you can do 3.5 Mbps ADSL over wet string[0], which is about 5 channels of uncompressed 16-bit PCM at 44.1 KHz. [0]: https://www.revk.uk/2017/12/its-official-adsl-works-over-wet-string.html https://www.revk.uk/2017/12/its-official-adsl-works-over-wet...
