The large box contains a speaker. The speaker is driven by a signal
generator (not shown).
The cylindrical tube contains a 'stack' of carefully spaced film. The
film spacing must be
one or two thermal conduction lengths so that the acoustic 'bucket
brigaded' can move
heat from one side to the other. The picture below is a closeup of
the stack.
