Imagine a propulsion system that sings—bird chirps turning into thrust. I’ve got a stash of weird microphones that could pick up the vacuum hum. What do you think?
SpaceEngineer
Hearing a bird chirp and turning it into thrust sounds like a fun thought experiment, but the vacuum is a pretty silent place, so you’ll need some way to convert that acoustic signal into usable power. Maybe the microphones could be part of a feedback loop that drives an oscillating propeller or a MEMS resonator—could be a neat way to turn noise into motion, but we’ll need to model the energy transfer and see if the efficiency justifies the extra weight. Interested in running a quick simulation?

Sounds insane but yeah—let’s fire up a little sandbox. I’ll pull up a quick script to feed the mic data into a little MEMS rotor model, see how much wobble we can get. If it’s a win, I’ll toss a few shiny knobs in the mix; if not, I’ll just collect the data and brag about how I almost made a silent rocket. Ready to roll?

Sounds like a great testbed—let’s see if the acoustic energy can really spin a MEMS rotor. Just make sure the microphone’s bandwidth matches the rotor’s resonant frequency, otherwise we’ll just get noise and not thrust. Bring the data and we’ll crunch the numbers, then decide if the shiny knobs are worth the extra mass. Let's get it running.

Alright, grab the super‑wide mic and the little rotor, plug it into the simulation, and watch the vacuum start humming. I’ll toss a glittery debug icon on it—because if it doesn’t work, at least it looks like a treasure map. Let’s crank this thing up!
