Geoff,
I know how they work. Your brain only works in the compressive world same as you think the Shakti Hollographs only do. When a compressive wave passes across the solid surface of the varied forms of wood of the Hollographs that wave turns into a shear wave ( only in a solid) . That shear wave motion causes the solid to move slightly.. the air around that shape to vibrate and the fact that there are 2 different species of wood of over basically 6 different sections and lengths you now have a change in the compressive wave 6 different times per single unit. Now that 6 times does not take into account the boundary areas where the twisted pattern in the wood is held at each end..nor does it take into account where it appears there 2 different species of wood joined together at their intersections..All those areas now included have a different shear velocity as do the 2 different species of wood as do the different sectioned lengths that cause a change in air motion and that is what you hear when those waves come in contact with other solids like the wall surface and your eardrums..they too resonate and cause a change in air motion... So how many times are those shear waves in all those materials and shapes make for change in your compressive world? Tom
