Abstract
Carbon nanotube (s) (CNT) generate smooth-spectra sound over a wide frequency range (1–105 Hz) by means of thermoacoustics (TA) projector. The vibrational modes of plates and the compliance of the soft sealing spacers between those plates are studied with the aim of creating efficient, tunable underwater sound generation at relatively low frequencies, 10 Hz–10 kHz.
