Hi all,
Apropos of an art project brief vaguely defined as “messages in a bottle”, i am wondering how hard it would be to flutter an LED inside a glass bottle at audio frequencies, read the fluctuations from outside the bottle & decode the result as audible sound. A speech-level sound quality would be the goal.
My initial readings suggests that leds can flick on & off within 0.1uSec, which would be plenty, but otoh i dunno what sample resolution you’d be able to get. (I think of this in digital terms but direct analog encode/decode might be possible too?)
As usual i assume if I think of something, someone else has already done it. Does anybody here know of an example of an audio-led-air-led-audio codec chain in the wild? (I know theres audio multiplexing on fiber optics but i assume that requires lasers.)
