Hi everyone,
I teach physics in high school and I'm also running an after-school program where we're designing and building our own science center. The kids want to build a 'Whisper Dish' type exhibit, where 2 big dishes across a field or hallway will reflect each other's voices. Great demo about sound and parabolas.
Making this type of exhibit seems pretty straight forward - we just need 2 dishes around 6' - 8' diameter. My students are making calls around to dish removal services, etc but they're mostly the small Dish network style. We think around 6' and solid (non-mesh) would work best. We have welding equipment for a base. Any suggestions on obtaining some? I'm in San Diego if anyone's local and knows something.
Thanks everyone!
Jon
