UPDATE 11/27/2019: I have finished this project! all parts including top cover and electronics base are available.
Video in action [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWjfwIOMlY8). Official home here: https://github.com/rsheldiii/ParametricLev
## What is this project?
This is a Parametric Acoustic Levitator that takes the electronics from [this instructable](https://www.instructables.com/id/Acoustic-Tractor-Beam/) to power the needs of 16mm drivers, aka the BigLev, from [this instructable](https://www.instructables.com/id/Acoustic-Levitator/). It works by creating 3d, standing wave patterns in the air, allowing objects with a maximum density and size to be trapped in the high pressure nodes. It does this using transducers, which is just a fancy way to say speakers that sometimes go way above frequencies the human ear can hear. The goal was to levitate small 3d printed objects, and do so in a parametric and hopefully slightly prettier package.
## Parametric you say?
