It plays a G, an octave above the upper register G on a D whistle, although there is considerable leeway for an accomplished player to blow the note higher or lower using breath modulation. It is my understanding that the note G is used in many Irish traditional tunes.
Best wishes,

Should we hold our breath?Jerry Freeman wrote:[img] My question is, if you generate power using a turbine whistle, does the carbon dioxide you exhale contribute to global warming? (I'm trying to solve a big problem here, and I don't want to overlook any important details.)
BTW - Where is Zubvika?
Who?
Not scientifically trained, but more in the Bardic tradition of Andrew Lloyd Webber and the like, do you think we ought to have a repertoire - maybe some stuff by Electric Light Orchestra, and perhaps the Who, ("My Generation") - oh yes, and Ampy Birthday.
Just for starters, that is.
Keep it up, you crazy people.

I know I'm coming in late, but an honest exposition of a prototype whistle is a momentous occasion and I don't think I should miss my chance to contribute to the development of new technology.
Unfortunately, I think the scale of the demonstration model makes technical comment difficult since both the current and CO2 generated by the test are too insignificant for accurate measurements to be made. Once you do succeed in working up an actual working scale model, however, I will be more than willing to evaluate the concept more thoroughly.
I estimate that a tube approcimately 87 feet long and 3 feet in diameter with a two bladed prop spinning at no more than 250 RPM should be sufficient to both demonstrate the concept and actually test both efficiency and CO2 pollution coefficient.
Be sure to let me know when it's available.
