    Incidentally.. a good document to read if you are interested in the effects of different sized windows and windways in flute (or, in this case, pennywhistle) design is Guido Gonzato's "Low Tech Whistle" guide. I'm sure Nicholas is familiar with this, but many here probably have not read it yet. I don't have the URL handy but it should be easy to find if you do a search. Interesting coincidence - Dr. Gonzato teaches geology, and so do I. 😁

    I got the A1 last month and it's the most incredible tool for a creating mind. My friend has asked to collaborate on low register whistles made using the "impossible" geometry of FDM printing, so that the finger holes are accessible for all. Exciting times to be be an instrument maker
    I am planning on using TPU for coupling as well, I believe this will be more airtight. Your videos have inspired me for years, it is fun to converge at a similar place.

    Would it be possible to make a deeper note by 3d printing a u shape to bend the pipe back towards you? If that feels too unnatural you could use 2 u pipes so it would look something like a trumpet without the valves. I'd love to hear what a Contra Overtone Flute sounds like.

    Salut Nicolas, 2-3 petits conseils niveau impression 3D, l'infilm en giroïde n'est utile que si tu as des contraintes mécaniques selon plusieurs axes. Ce n'est pas ton cas ici, donc tu peux utiliser un infill plus simple, qui ira plus vite à imprimer. Dans les slicers, il y a une option pour lui indiquer où commencer chaque nouvelle couche. Là tu es visiblement en "aligné", il vaut mieux mettre "aléatoire", ça éviterait les marques inesthétique qu'on voit à 3:25.

    Nicolas goes engineering mode! :) Looks like a good use case for 3d printing for this systematic explorations. And the output seems to be of very good quality, so you have no "riffles" in the plastic that could spoil the airflow, impressive. On the shop: Nice idea..but Nicolas, you are first of all an inventor and musician, you should give the ecommerce stuff to an 3rd party, as logistics is time consuming. I am looking forward to your string instruments, there are some unique sounds with that.
    In the realm of flutes, I wonder if nonlinear shapes as "Magnetic Showerhead for structured and rotating water with assembly guide" shown in his YT video are may be a use case for 3D printing ? However that was a shower head aiming at "structuring water" not sure if a swirling airflow has attractive sound qualities..but could be interesting! In the realm of overtones you are moving now, may be swirling spiral shapes may add a thing to the sound ?

    Sort of interested in how this was designed. This project seems to be best suited for a parametric approach, where you can vary dimensions by typing in values for dimensional parameters instead of having to tweak designs by pushing and pulling on lines or surfaces. I can't tell what software Nicholas is using, parametric design only works with the more advanced 3D CAD packages such as Fusion 360 or FreeCAD, and not with simpler packages such as 123D Design (which I use) or TinkerCAD. It's interesting that he prints these parts mouth-down which would necessitate supports inside. When I designed my pennywhistle head recently, I printed it in two parts, which glue together.

    Outstanding work as always. I'm curious - do you have some safety for the inhalation of PVC particles?

    Throughout the video I thought the name of the instrument was the "Overton flute" (as in someone's name). After I clicked on the shop link it turns out it's an overTONE flute (as in, you get different notes by overblowing). Interestingly enough, in Sociology and Political Science, there is something called the Overton Window - the range of policies - or discussion of policies - that is acceptable to the general population at a given time.

    petites pistes en échange : reproduire des hanches d'instruments à hanche, "en négatif"/"en creux" : clarinette, saxophone, chalumeau...
    chose que je serais probablement incapable de faire en bois, mais donner des angles, notamment dans le conduit, pour accélérer le flux d'air( plus large entrée de conduit que largeur de fenêtre, de ce que j'ai noté, c'est ici égal)
    et puisque tu as les longueurs, tu sais donc ou placer des trous, reste à en régler l'épaisseur et la largeur... Intéressant tout ça : la flûte harmonique à trou de tierce, de quinte, d'octave,?

    • @MalucoLapin
      @MalucoLapin 14 часов назад

      @@NicolasBras eh bien ça à un rapport avec la pression et l'appel d'air.
      Sur un conduit droit, la pression est constante lorsqu'on souffle à pression constante, alors que si le conduit se rétrécit, alors la pression augmente : on exerce une pression constante, mais la quantité de gaz par mm2 de sortie augmente.
      Or la pression de notre souffle est vitesse de mouvement d'air.
      Donc le flux d'air sortant est accéléré par la géométrie du conduit.
      Ca a un autre effet : ce souffle compressé va se détendre dans la flute, et cette détente sera d'autant plus forte que le différentiel de pression est fort, donc plus le souffle sera compressé.
      Le tout s'ajoutant à la mécanique de séparation des filets d'air.
      en effet, la flute est pas fermée, il y a une entrée d'air, une butée pour diviser les filets d'air, ce qui provoque le sifflement.
      Seulement, on a aussi un différentiel de pression plus ou moins fort entre l'intérieur de la flûte et son extérieur, et même si je serais incapable de produire une équation,
      je doute que les filets d'airs séparés soient en quantité égales,
      et je suppose que ce différentiel de pression va créer une aspiration, et si j'ai raison, à la butée qui crée le sifflement.
      Enfin, c'est une flûte harmonique : c'est justement les différentes pression d'air, "harmonisées" par la géométrie constante de la flûte qui créent les différentes harmoniques produites.
