In this presentation by Andrew Batek, the Acoustic Storm project blends the visual impact of electricity with the emotional depth of music through the use of solid-state Tesla coils. Key packaging considerations include safety measures such as electrical and physical isolation using Faraday cages and Plexiglass, allowing for portability while maintaining a compact size compared to conventional speakers. These design choices prioritize device accessibility and user safety without compromising sound quality. Learn how Acoustic Storm compares to current commercial products while addressing unique packaging challenges.

Team # 15: Acoustic Storm Packaging Considerations Presented by: Andrew Batek Interweaving the impressive visual power of electricity and the visceral emotion of music, Acoustic Storm takes analog or digital audio input and outputs its own rendition using two varieties of solid state tesla coils.
Selected Packaging Constraints • Safety • Electrical Isolation (faraday cage) • Physical Isolation (Plexiglass) • Somewhat portable • Small size relative to other “Tesla” projects • Similar in this regard to conventional speakers • Allows for device accessibility • Encloses device but not sound
Comparison to Current Commercial Products:- A difficult task for this project - Conventional Speakers Available Class E HFSSTC Kit Obviously, differences exist in encased design Will borrow general characteristics Speaker “grille” • Minimal product packaging • Uncovered Circuit • No isolation from coil output • Safety?
