Knife amplification
May 13 2008, 1:26 PM EDT I was just wondering if a knife stuck in a tree can amplify vibrations from the soil. 6 out of 10 found this valuable. Do you? |

May 19 2008, 6:37 AM EDT What I think: no. Unless you stick a long sword in, it would only amplify only just a tiny fraction more decibels@1m unless someone proves me wrong... 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

May 19 2008, 7:50 AM EDT Yes, seems possible with something long and thin perhaps. Though, I don't understand why you would need to. Explain this myth some more to us! :) 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

May 20 2008, 3:40 AM EDT Although, even if you stick something long and thin like a sword, it still would barely amplify the sound. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Jun 7 2008, 9:29 AM EDT "Yes, seems possible with something long and thin perhaps. Though, I don't understand why you would need to.

Do you find this valuable? |
