Water Theremin: Circuit Description and Performance
http://www.infrasonicon.com/Tech/WTCircuit.html
INFRASONICON: Time-Compressing Infrasonic Recordings to Discover New Sounds, by Clark Huckaby. Water Theremin: Circuit Description and Performance. As introduced in Overview Part 4. My water surface wave pick-up is based on the theremin, a musical instrument. For playing music, the distance between a theremin's pitch-control antenna and the player's hand determines the output frequency. Photographs of the WT are shown in Figures 9 through 11 of Overview Part 4. Shows a schematic diagram of the WT (figure...

Water Surface Waves Versus Sound
http://www.infrasonicon.com/Sidebars/WSWvsSound.html
INFRASONICON: Time-Compressing Infrasonic Recordings to Discover New Sounds, by Clark Huckaby. Water Surface Waves Versus Sound. Their visibility and relatively low speed makes water surface waves a common analogy for sound. But no analogy is perfect. Since one goal of the Infrasonicon is to convert the former into the latter (see Overview Part 4. This page outlines some s. Surface waves on water and sound waves in air have much in common:. And propagation speed ( c. Also called phase velocity. Air parti...
