Nefrit & Craftsman
I’ve been thinking about a project that blends our strengths: how about building a wooden wind recorder that captures the sound and speed of the breeze over an ancient oak? We can design the chamber and the reeds, then you can measure the frequencies and wind patterns—perfect for a bit of craftsmanship and a bit of data.
That sounds doable and scientifically interesting. A wooden recorder could give us a simple, low‑cost way to capture wind‑induced vibrations, but we’ll need a calibrated microphone or a piezo sensor to translate the reed vibrations into sound pressure levels. We should also log wind speed with an anemometer, so we can correlate frequency shifts with airflow. The ancient oak might introduce a steady, low‑frequency background hum—perhaps a reminder of the myths that say old trees hold whispers of the past. If we keep the design simple and record in a quiet area, we can isolate the wind signal from ambient noise. I’m ready to help with the measurements and data analysis.
