New Web Tool: sound.raspberryshake.net

We recently launched a new webtool: #raspishake2sound (beta):

Convert waveforms like the infrasonic recording of the SpaceX launch and earthquakes (see videos below) to audible sound and create videos showing the waveform and spectrogram that can easily be shared on social media.

Visit http://sound.raspberryshake.org and create your first video (Available in English, French, Spanish and Dutch)

And just in case you missed our previous Newsletter: The “Raspberry Boom” comes to Kickstarter this week! On March 22nd!

Hi Shakers!

WE’RE BACK!– With our Newest, Coolest, Most Awesome Kickstarter launch yet!!!

What would you discover if you could hear the inaudible sounds in our planet’s atmosphere?! More than you would think! From far off explosions & avalanches, to tornadoes, rocket launches and more, our new Raspberry Pi home monitor shows it all!

Introducing the RASPBERRY BOOMDiscover all this and more!

Last year the Raspberry Shake 4D was a huge success, thanks to your support. This year we wanted to bring you something a little different and make this launch one to remember! You may have already seen some of our plans on social media, if not, click the icons below and remember to follow us!

WHAT DOES IT DO?

The Raspberry Boom detects the “infra”, extremely low frequencies of sound (less than ~20 Hz, or the lower limit of what is audible to humans) from great distances all around your local region, that are completely imperceivable to your human ears.

Infrasound sensors detect so many intriguing things happening all around you. Independently they can uncover so many mysteries, but together, using our Raspberry Shake connected network, they create an array that can potentially track and locate events. From incoming harsh weather, planes flying overhead, gun fire and nuclear testing, to volcanoes erupting on remote islands in the Pacific Ocean and meteors exploding over the Atlantic… See all these and more, and discover the untold secrets that are out there, with the Raspberry Boom!

What would you like to discover on your Raspberry Boom?

PROTOTYPES IN TESTING

We are all SpaceX fans at Raspberry Shake and we couldn’t resist the opportunity to test one of our prototypes with the launch of Falcon Heavy.

The Boom prototype recorded the launch and landing of the boosters perfectly!

A World Record?…
For the Kickstarter campaign itself, we will be sending a Raspberry Boom into the stratosphere on a HUGE solar balloon, one of our expert collaborators is creating. Up there we hope to capture some incredible infrasound results, and as a bonus adding to the excitement, we will also attempt to achieve a world record for the height of the flight!
