This was one of the most enjoyable and informative videos I have seen in a long time. A picture paints the lanuage of a thousand nations. And the music was not irritating as well. Thanks for the great content. Keep up the good work.
reminds me of my ESS Californian speakers. They were electro static. But you needed 14" woofers all at 400 watts to shake the windows. That was back in the 1977. Now I rock the house with 1000 watt home theater. Good for now as @ 66 need my hearing
After watching it through, I went back to check out one bit towards the beginning and realized that I had watched most of it all over again.. I commend you for the pacing, which is great for someone with both basic knowlage of this stuff, as well as those far on the ADHD spectrum. Also, the music isn't that overused stock shit that I find on so many commentary-free builds. Cheers
Treble response is acceptable, but for bass it can plays loud down to 150hz max, also full range speakers can't play well bass and treble, they're good for midrange reproduction.
At first I wasn't sure how it could be claimed base is out of phase since there's only one coil. But then thought about the two plastic halves. When one is pushed, the other is pulled so that is a point. Could put a baffle on one half. Could be too that the spacing in this case is just right that depending where you are listening in relation to the speaker the bass doesn't cancel at a fundamental low frequency.
They operate now a a dipole. And because of the shape the high range is extended somewhat. If you let them move in opposite directions they have to create pressure in between the halves. They are not strong enough to do that. With a dipole you don't want to create pressure, you want to create air movement. That's why you need a very light structure that moves easily. he low end only roles off at 6dB/ octave, so with some filtering this can be boosted. Change this to a mono-pole and you'll have to redesign it from the ground up.
I like this as a novelty, and I respect the patience in winding the voice coil by hand. There is no way I would have that kind of patience. In all, this is pretty neat
@@TempoDrift1480 Oh that would be cool . The one I played through did have a mono sub and 2 stereo mids along with two omnis like this. The stereo separation was mild but that is natural.
@@waydbro1 To be clear when I wrote 'like this' I was referring to ribbon speakers. Specifically electrostatic... Martin Logins with built-in woofers and a single sub to be more specific. I sent the signal into the amplifier they came with.
I was really tired and busy when I watched this but I did watch it all the way through. It was something to absorb! And I wanted to come back and thank you for documenting this. I'm thinking about it and it's one of the few homemade projects that actually builds the driver instead of assembling drivers into a system. Reducing the crossover to a two-way active really has some advantages. I'm already thinking about refinement and scaling up. This might be one I eventually build. Thank you!
@@incredifunk hello, first build just one and try to improve it, because what i did is just making a prototype, try to use strong magnets, different diaphragm materials, size of coil and diaphragm.... Then let us to know different results. Good luck 👍👍👍
Super bueno! I have some diffusers from an cracked lcd screen I replaced on my son's laptop. Imma throw some light strip LEDs modulated by the audio. Best.Video.Ever.
Cool! It’s like a ribbon tweeter? Probably not much bass extension. Maybe a larger one to handle the low end in addition. A fun project that demonstrates the principles that make a speaker produce sound.
Excellent job using the CD case as both a universally available measuring device and a wire winding spool! Also, using that giant capacitor as a rolling pin was very funny!
Thank you! I have built several different styles of speakers using inductors and I appreciate your instruction on rubanoid. I want to make one myself now. Thank you very much!
This got me thinking on ways to make a bass speaker to go with this and what I came up with is to find a couple large loops or rather hoops, put something like a bed sheet over one and paint it, put a weight in the center (ballbearing, lg marble?) to make a parabolic, repeat with the other, dry and scew a short iron rod the tip of the cone, repeat with other. Role a coil of speaker wire and put over one rod, use a non conductive glue to glue the two rods ends together, mount the coil (not touching rods) and wood spacers to hold the two hoops in place. Not in that order though. Don't know if I have that quit right, but something like that. Maybe don't paint like a 1/2" near hoop so can flex better, maybe a small rubberband between rod or a plastic rod on one cone? The paint could be like wood glue or polyurathane (stiff) or flex seal or silicon?
I am intrigued by the design. So I know ribbon mic's are great and speakers and microphones are similar....I want to build one just to hear it...thanks for the video
Fabulous. A small speaker and a physics lesson all in one. Obviously as this size it will sound 'tinny' but at scale could be excellent for immediacy over a good range without immediate need for crossovers or damping as fall-away will be from the sound source -- well at least in theory. Years ago I knew Peter Walker OBE, the inventor of the great ELS 57 electrostatic and he would have loved this. Thank you so very much.
I now have my 1-1/2 dowel rod sliced in half down the middle. I cut a 1/4 inch wide by 1/8 inch deep groove down the middle of both halves of the above mentioned dowel rod and after almost a week, I have 40 small button sized rare earth magnets glued in each half. Which was a serious pain in the ass! Using gorilla glue and a clamp for each magnet. I am using round, soft, clear plastic tubes for mine. Taking my sweet time to make it look beautiful. Cannot wait for this project to be finished!!

Просто брал кольцевой магнит от динамика, мотал несколько витков провода витков 20-30, и примагничевал к простой консервной банке, звук был, правда только у меня, а на всей улице радио точка молчала))
Cool Build!!! When RadioShack was in business, they had a mid-tweeter called "Linaeum" that had 360° sound dispersion. Although I never disassembled one, I suspect this is how it was constructed!!!😁👍🏻
may be yes, because there's a lot of kind of ribon speakers, this project is just a prototype easy to make for my followers, in the future i will show you how to make the exact magnet assembly to get an excelente result.
I have 2 LX5s and 2 LX10s, I also have 2 Linaeums sitting on top of my Fisher 430 Ms, They make a world of difference. I also have 2 more LX5s and 2 more Linaeums Sitting on my EPI Magnus in the Bedroom. Safe to say I'm a Fan 😂
@@jonathanabrahams7878 Just an interesting note regarding the Linaeum tweeters: I removed the built in non-polarized electrolytic crossover capacitor and used an active (powered) crossover (automotive). There was a huge increase in Soundstage openness and a particular resonant/ringing frequency from the capacitor disappeared. Needless to say, it was a HUUUGE improvement in sound quality!!!😁👍🏻
@@fookingsog Was that on the LX 5s, I never noticed any abnormal sounds coming from them, I've actually been playin around with them lately wondering if I could enhance the sound, What Crossover did you use?

Great design idea, I may make one myself. It would be nice to see the manufacturing done to a higher standard. There's too much glue everywhere. Stained varnished wood and brass fittings would look great.

Some nice out of the box thinking dude. Kinda reminds me of a similar iteration I've seen on the interwebs. Hardly full range, but could be easily scaled up....
thank you for posting such inspirational content. Your video will be the spark needed to ignite the fire of curiosity in so many young and old alike, to start seeking a greater understanding of physical effects of the electromagnetic reality we're all swimming in. Tesla would be proud of you.
Would 2l drink bottles glued to the coil and outside supports work or would it be too stiff a material for the tube cones. Be faster than messing with the sheets.
slt, you just have to try and see what happens. Each different material sounds different, and don't forget that apart from the rigidity of the membrane there is also the weight, even for pvc A4 sheet exists in several thickness and rigidity.
thank you, i'm agree with you, but really I don't really have space and quality video recording equipment, and I admit that I made a lot of mistakes with the glue, but if you watch my last video, quite a few things improved.
@@homemade_audio I was focused on the speaker it's self. Not the videos quality as most Ytubers use what they have on hand and can afford. That should not deter communicating good ideas. Glue, funny thing is most do make mistakes with glues. The top one being more is better. Lord knows I've made my fair share. Keep up the good works.
I'm curious and think I will build some only with the tubes in a slight conical shape. I am just guessing that would possibly give a broader frequency range if done correctly.
One of the coolest things on RUclips. I wonder if the sound would improve if you lightly stuffed some poly fill inside the “hollow” parts of the speaker. That way you might be able to cancel out some of the sound coming from the inside of those hollow tubes? But I’m sure it would greatly reduce its efficiency and frequency reproduction
It could be mounted on a pole so that it's well away from touching it.. I'm so excited about experimenting with this! .. I should probably finish my record-cutter and cutter head first though!
Hi, did I see that you have used different cleaning and gluing products? what are they? another question is: how much diameter is the copper wire for the winding? from the caliber on video is not clear.
You could play around with a thin pice of wood, steam it an make it curved behind the speaker may be kind of fun to play with sound response and directional reflections.
This are linear coils .This is how magneplanar speakers are made ...They have several rows of magnets like those u used .But not required to have a magnet sandwich . Have you tried with just one side magnets .. ? and a better tensioning system for the diaphragm
Well, that was strangely interesting.. I actually enjoyed watching you build that. I was not sure of the direction you were going, until you opened the plastic film layers up, and I was like "AHHHhhhhhh, I see what he is doing"... Clever setup... By chance, have you run a frequency range on that unit, to see its strengths and weaknesses are, or what bandwidth it can cover? I am curious to know. I realize, what we hear through YT videos, vs what is heard in person are two totally different things, but, from what I hear, it does have a bit of a "tingy" sound to it, which on its own is a horrible sound, but once backed with mid range and a sub woofer, and possibly a tweeter, I bet it will cover allot of the harder midrange that cone speakers fail to keep up with with out cooking themselves off... Well done... Also, How does it do with MALE voice/vocals, and likewise, females voice/vocals... ?
this makes also abetter microphone cause I've tried it and it can detect even faint sounds especially when put against the wall you can use it to snoop on your neighbors
I would appreciate one as well. From the music demos, it sounds like it has very good mid-high and high range response. Needs to be accompanied with a decent woofer and sub, and it would very suitable for a full range hi-fi setup.
@@eduardoanonimo3031 Never say never, and temper your expectations. Ask for tangible results instead of immediately assuming it’s utter garbage. Also, it isn’t reasonable to compare a DIY project to a $2000 set of speakers. Obviously this is a homemade project, but it’s based on a tried and true design featured in high tier Hi-Fi equipment. There are dozens of homemade speakers out there that sound excellent, because the person who made it did their research beforehand.
@@foxyloon I get youre point, but the building technique and materials used make this speaker are pretty weak and susceptible to damages even by oils in the air...
@@eduardoanonimo3031 Agreed. The overall build quality is a bit lacking. I doubt it was intended to last for years, it was definitely put together as a casual hobby project.
I'll keep this one in my pocket for after the apocalypse. Maybe I can gain status in some community by building them a speaker to hook up and listen to old episodes of Joe Rogan or whatever the hell was left downloaded on the last iphone that still worked.
Very old design speaker. Radio shack realistic pro Lx5 Tweeter remake. Be sure to look them up!! Good job though on the remake brother! 👍🏿💯 They sound pretty good also. I would like to see these made on a larger scale.
@@homemade_audio but I bet if you use one of your DIY crossovers to separate the frequencies of each one and made a stereo pair to make it to where you had a smaller one for a tweeter left and right channel and then like this one that you made for maybe mid-range and then a bigger one with thicker material and neodymium magnets for a stronger field most definitely there would be a difference. Theoretically speaking that is. but regardless I would love to see you do that. it would be so awesome to see you create it and see how beautiful it looks 💓
Genau, nicht ernst genug 🤷♂️ aber es ist ganz normal angesichts der Form der Membran, die eine gute mittlere Wiedergabe fördert. Danke für deinen Kommentar 🙏🙏
no, in the coil direction. for that you have to put two rows of magnets. I plan to put a second video showing how to improve the magnetic assembly. normally it must be neodymium magnets placed between two flat irons on each side.
Hello, i didn't take any mesures yet because this prototype not well made, i will remake it well with neodymium magnet then I'll take some important mesures. Thanks for your interest to project 🙏
I hate to deflate your balloon, but these speakers while good over the mid to upper range do poorly in the low range. If you want really good performance you are much better off doing an active speaker system with active crossover. If you want performance from ~400Hz down to 20Hz you need the stiff large surface area of a cone or carbon honeycomb speaker. Even better than these magnetic driven ribbon speakers are capacitive speakers, although the circuit that drives them is different.
It's just good for general purpose like the small computer speakers they're good for people who don't like bass especially heavy bass, also for shortwave, amateur ham radio,cb radio use where bass makes hearing distant weak reception difficult. All you'd have to do with this speaker is build it bigger and build a crossover for it. Or make a subwoofer version of it, or buy a subwoofer. These would work like the small theatre surround sound TV speakers that you'd need a separate subwoofer.
@@homemade_audio I m thinking of another design in it,for the Ruban Coil and also the flaps, i'll draw a 3D image of same and share with you in abou a week, can I have your email.
Loved the project. Absolutely great. 👍👍👍

This gave me so many new ideas, like tubes balanced or standing on springs to allow multi-directional movement.

@@homemade_audio how do you calculate the nominel ohms of the driver coil?

Sounds surprisingly good for what it is. It's not a full range though. Basically a mid with a bit of treble.

slt, you just have to try and see what happens.
Each different material sounds different, and don't forget that apart from the rigidity of the membrane there is also the weight, even for pvc A4 sheet exists in several thickness and rigidity.
WoW !!!
Never knew that something like this was possible
Yes it exists 😉 and if well made it sounds very good
Interesting, clever, and weird. With some flair the aesthetics could be stellar.
thank you, i'm agree with you, but really I don't really have space and quality video recording equipment, and I admit that I made a lot of mistakes with the glue, but if you watch my last video, quite a few things improved.
@@homemade_audio I was focused on the speaker it's self. Not the videos quality as most Ytubers use what they have on hand and can afford. That should not deter communicating good ideas.
Glue, funny thing is most do make mistakes with glues. The top one being more is better. Lord knows I've made my fair share. Keep up the good works.
@@ScooterFXRS thank you for your understanding and support 🥰🙏🙏🙏
Really cool experiment. I'm just curious how loud it is for practical use. Probably the most interesting homemade speaker I've seen in a while.
Thank you for your comment, it can plays loud down to 100hz, then associate to an active subwoofer.
I'm curious and think I will build some only with the tubes in a slight conical shape. I am just guessing that would possibly give a broader frequency range if done correctly.
One of the coolest things on RUclips.
I wonder if the sound would improve if you lightly stuffed some poly fill inside the “hollow” parts of the speaker. That way you might be able to cancel out some of the sound coming from the inside of those hollow tubes? But I’m sure it would greatly reduce its efficiency and frequency reproduction
yes it's recomended to put some absorbing material inside ribon for good result.
It could be mounted on a pole so that it's well away from touching it.. I'm so excited about experimenting with this! .. I should probably finish my record-cutter and cutter head first though!
like the linaeum tweeter. nice work.
Hi, did I see that you have used different cleaning and gluing products? what are they? another question is: how much diameter is the copper wire for the winding? from the caliber on video is not clear.
hello, of course :
- Paint thinner to clean
- rubber glues
copper wire diameter : 0.2mm
9 months later and recommend again, still caught my attention and once again I noticed the music from SR lol
Un proyecto impresionante!! sobre todo por su sencillez y imagino la calidad del sonodo! ehorabena!!
Absolutely Amazing
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
You could play around with a thin pice of wood, steam it an make it curved behind the speaker may be kind of fun to play with sound response and directional reflections.
Very Cool ... Thank You for sharing..
Thank you, you welcome 🙏
This are linear coils .This is how magneplanar speakers are made ...They have several rows of magnets like those u used .But not required to have a magnet sandwich . Have you tried with just one side magnets .. ? and a better tensioning system for the diaphragm
Very nice dear
thank you 🙂
Very impressive. I will try using much heavy wood block as a base to enhance sound deeper
I was thinking hollow pvc
@@johnkashka803 surely you want something dense and heavy like concrete
What a fabulous construction!
Thank you my friend 🙏
Well, that was strangely interesting.. I actually enjoyed watching you build that. I was not sure of the direction you were going, until you opened the plastic film layers up, and I was like "AHHHhhhhhh, I see what he is doing"... Clever setup... By chance, have you run a frequency range on that unit, to see its strengths and weaknesses are, or what bandwidth it can cover? I am curious to know. I realize, what we hear through YT videos, vs what is heard in person are two totally different things, but, from what I hear, it does have a bit of a "tingy" sound to it, which on its own is a horrible sound, but once backed with mid range and a sub woofer, and possibly a tweeter, I bet it will cover allot of the harder midrange that cone speakers fail to keep up with with out cooking themselves off... Well done... Also, How does it do with MALE voice/vocals, and likewise, females voice/vocals... ?
Cool, this speaker is designed to reproduce well female vocal voice 😁😁😁
this makes also abetter microphone cause I've tried it and it can detect even faint sounds especially when put against the wall you can use it to snoop on your neighbors
Now this is in my top 5 of the coolest DIY projects!
Great job! 👍
Thank you for your great comment, you welcome 🙏🙏🙏
Awesome project I really enjoyed your video. Keep up the great work.
Thank you 🙏
Very cool! I assume the copper wire is insulated? Have you measured the frequency response and distortion?
Not yet, because I'll remake the same project with very strongneodym magnet, then I'll take mesures 😉
Looks like 30awg copper wire with flexo insulation (brand name.. melts into a Flux at 650°f).
I think a cpuple 2 liter bottles would work might fine for a sub possibly?
🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
I'd like to see a frequency response curve on this amazing build
I would appreciate one as well. From the music demos, it sounds like it has very good mid-high and high range response. Needs to be accompanied with a decent woofer and sub, and it would very suitable for a full range hi-fi setup.
@@foxyloon This never would end in any Hi-End sound system basicaly because its trash...
@@eduardoanonimo3031 Never say never, and temper your expectations.
Ask for tangible results instead of immediately assuming it’s utter garbage. Also, it isn’t reasonable to compare a DIY project to a $2000 set of speakers.
Obviously this is a homemade project, but it’s based on a tried and true design featured in high tier Hi-Fi equipment. There are dozens of homemade speakers out there that sound excellent, because the person who made it did their research beforehand.
@@foxyloon I get youre point, but the building technique and materials used make this speaker are pretty weak and susceptible to damages even by oils in the air...
@@eduardoanonimo3031 Agreed. The overall build quality is a bit lacking. I doubt it was intended to last for years, it was definitely put together as a casual hobby project.
espectacular felicitaciones gracias por compartir Dios le bendiga
muchas gracias por tu comentario animo amigo.
Wonder if big floorspeakers would work like this?....you inspire me in a good way :)
Ohhh thank you, try to make big one to get answer 😉👍👍👍
Excellent video dear chap. Even I can follow it.
Badass... I would love to see you make something that could bump some bass too kind of similar to that maybe with some thicker plastic
I am going to make one. Thanks for this great idea 💡
Try to build it with strong magnetic (neodym)
It's funny that you mentioned that because I have bunch neodymium magnets. I don't know if now this, but inside a hardrive there is neodymium magnet.
Amazing.. Since I have not seen something like this.. Where did you get this idea?
On website years ago 😉😍
RUclips 😁✌
@@isleofmann1088 you welcome 😉😉😉
Amazing. Loved this video
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
I'll keep this one in my pocket for after the apocalypse. Maybe I can gain status in some community by building them a speaker to hook up and listen to old episodes of Joe Rogan or whatever the hell was left downloaded on the last iphone that still worked.
Thanks and best regards from berlin, germany
Thank you for this nice words 🙏🙏🙏
You welcome
Very old design speaker.
Radio shack realistic pro Lx5 Tweeter remake. Be sure to look them up!!
Good job though on the remake brother! 👍🏿💯
They sound pretty good also. I would like to see these made on a larger scale.
Yes it's like that. But here we play sound down to 100hz 😉
@@homemade_audio i thought you said down to 150hz in another comment. I'm confused
Nice remake though
The rubanoide was invented in 2005
What is the frequency response power handling and eficiency ?
looks neat
Watched in 4 minutes and can replicate.
Got it down to 4 min by way of 2x playback speed & judicious use of skip forward function.
Complimenti ! Questo altoparlante è fantastico!
grazie mille per il tuo commento 🙏🙏🙏
Neodymium magnets with a stronger magnetic field and thicker wire and thicker plastic with possibly a 80 Hertz or lower crossover
Like any other speaker: if you improve low frequencies = you lose some high frequencies 🤕🤕🤕
@@homemade_audio but I bet if you use one of your DIY crossovers to separate the frequencies of each one and made a stereo pair to make it to where you had a smaller one for a tweeter left and right channel and then like this one that you made for maybe mid-range and then a bigger one with thicker material and neodymium magnets for a stronger field most definitely there would be a difference. Theoretically speaking that is. but regardless I would love to see you do that. it would be so awesome to see you create it and see how beautiful it looks 💓
Really interesting 👍 complete DIY 😇
Thank you my friend 🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰
Cool project. This is a dipole though, not omnidirectional.
yes but it sounds like omnidirectionnal
Looks like I’ve found my next guitar amp for my dirty delta blues!
Should've made two 😁
Faszinierend! 👍Aber da fehlt natürlich der Bass Anteil, vermute ich.
Genau, nicht ernst genug 🤷♂️ aber es ist ganz normal angesichts der Form der Membran, die eine gute mittlere Wiedergabe fördert. Danke für deinen Kommentar 🙏🙏
Я впечатлён! Заводские такие не делают, интересно?
Есть несколько типов динамиков, которые не коммерциализируются, этот тип динамиков называется ribbonoide и он звучит действительно хорошо.
that is absolutely amazing...
and I love the design....
😀❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 😁🙏🙏🙏
Really nice work, are the Magnets magnetized in diametral direction?
no, in the coil direction.
for that you have to put two rows of magnets. I plan to put a second video showing how to improve the magnetic assembly. normally it must be neodymium magnets placed between two flat irons on each side.
Nice job.
I would be interested in how many ohms the speaker is and how much power it takes to drive it.
Hello, i didn't take any mesures yet because this prototype not well made, i will remake it well with neodymium magnet then I'll take some important mesures.
Thanks for your interest to project 🙏
Very cool! Makes me want to try similar and different material experiments, etc. good stuff!
Good idea 👍👍👍
Good luck 😎😎😎
That is a very cool project. Thanks for showing us.
🙏 with pleasure my friend, I'm a big fans of sound, what i do here is with a lot of love 🥰
I hate to deflate your balloon, but these speakers while good over the mid to upper range do poorly in the low range. If you want really good performance you are much better off doing an active speaker system with active crossover. If you want performance from ~400Hz down to 20Hz you need the stiff large surface area of a cone or carbon honeycomb speaker. Even better than these magnetic driven ribbon speakers are capacitive speakers, although the circuit that drives them is different.
It's just good for general purpose like the small computer speakers they're good for people who don't like bass especially heavy bass, also for shortwave, amateur ham radio,cb radio use where bass makes hearing distant weak reception difficult. All you'd have to do with this speaker is build it bigger and build a crossover for it. Or make a subwoofer version of it, or buy a subwoofer. These would work like the small theatre surround sound TV speakers that you'd need a separate subwoofer.
Realistically; who actually thinks these were designed as low frequency drivers !
Worth watching, one of the most satisfying videos, I have ever seen
Thank you my friend 🙏🙏🙏
@@homemade_audio I m thinking of another design in it,for the Ruban Coil and also the flaps, i'll draw a 3D image of same and share with you in abou a week, can I have your email.
